with misfortune he has home to which
he can appeal for help to keep him in the
right path; that, in case it develops that
the boy manifests disposition to vicious
ness when placed outside the school to
earn his own living, he may also feel that
he can be reclaimed to the school and his
probation be extended and even punish
ment applied.
Ihird-That only Superior Judges shall
be empowered to certify boy to the
school, the power to be taken from JUS
tees of the Peace to commit, because
greater care will be taken by the upper
courts and more of deliberation and
Judicial calm enter into the case.
Fourth-That boys and girls shall not
be detained in jails and prisons pending
commitment to the school, because, as a
rule, the Jail is a primary school in which
the child is likely to come into contact
with those who will teach him crime
Certainly it is bad plan to begin the re-
formation Of a boy by locking him III a
county or city Jail. whore those are found
who have no shame in corrupting youth

WISE REQUESTS.

The management of the Reform School
at Whittier proposes to come before the
Legislature with four distinct proposi-
lions and ask that they be made law. The
REcoRD-UNIoN believes that every one of
the requests should be granted for rea-
sons many and strong.
First-They wish the name changed
from Reform School for Juvenile Of
tenders" to ''Whittier State School" The
reason is apparent. The words reform"
and Offenders do not add a particle of
strength. On the contrary, they are ele-
ments of weakness, because they convey
penal suggestions, because they attach
stigma to the pupils and thus hinder
their reformation.
Second-That children shall be com
mitted to the school during their minor
ity, because it is folly to commit a child
whose environment has been vicious for
year or two years, and then throw him
back to the vicious influences from
which he was snatched. All the good
that may have been accomplished
with the lad is thus undone, and
the entire effort made by the State in
his behalf is wasted. The sentence ought
to be indeterminate; let the institute on
become the guardian of the boy during
minority-not to keep him at the school.

over him when it shall place him in a

A BLUNDER, OR woRsEs

The reliability of the average reporter
of the San Francisco press is to be seen
IN recent report of the proceedings of
the County Superintendents of Educa-
ton, at their convention held in that citv.
Some one introduced a resolution con-
demning the State textbooks system and
series; it was a regular book-ring reso-
luton, vicious and vindictive. The B1tZLe-
TIN recorded the result to be the unani-
nous passage of the resolution. Civ
ing color to the suspicion that this was
not mere blunder, the report is ex-
panded to remark upon the evident posi-
tive opinion of the convention and the
remarkable unanimity of the passage of
the resolution.
Now, as a matter of fact, the resolution
did not pass; it did not even go to a vote.
BY the Chair it was, in usual order, re-
ferred to the Committee on Resolutions.
where it died without so much as a word
OF protest being put in by any one. But
the book trust agents accomplished their
end; they got a statement into print. un-
der flaming headlines, that the Su-
perintendents Of Education of Califor-
MIA had unanimously condemned the
States system Of textbook supply.
Of course these agents will industri-
ously publish this news" at the East.
and quote the Bulletin in support of the
authority of the statement. For it must
be borne in mind that it is not the loss of
the California trade for which the book
trust cares particularly, but the effect of
the success OF the California system upon
the trade of the other States. If the
ringsters can break down independence
in California, they know that no other
State will be likely to attempt independ
ent publication, for our example would
operate as a deterrent. In lieu of such
failure here, however, the next best thing
the book trust can do is TO have it pub
hshed on seeming authority at the East
that the Superintendents and teachers of
California denounce the system as uneco-
nomic and bad.
We leave readers to draw their own
conclusion as to whether or not the false
reporting referred to was simply stupid
blundering, or action with purpose in
view; whether it was simply reportorial
incompetency or book ring chicane. Ger
tainly it is susceptible of either interpre-
tation; at the very least the Bulletin owes
it to the cause of truth to right its wrong
by distinct publication. with equal promi-
nence, of the fact that the Superintend-
ents' Convention did not adopt the reso-
luton referred TO.

THERE were six hundred delegates at
the Indiana Road Congress, and the ses-
sion proved to be Of profound interest.
The congress came to the conclusion that
Indiana roads can be made good roads
for . cents an acre a year on the abutting
land, payable for ten years. The con-
gress resolved that the district and patch
work system is all wrong, and that true
economy is conserved by good roads,
while bad roads cause a direct loss to pro-
ducers and consumers alike. A perma-
nent good-road organization was effected.
and thorough reformation Of the road
laws resolved upon. All of which sug-
gests matter Of Importance to California,
where bad roads are positive factor of
retrogression, and good roads can be made
cheaper than in any State in the Union.
One subject debated was the justice of
taxing road-making upon abutting land.
The affirmative held that as it enhanced
values it was right; the negative, that as
good roads are of common interest they
should be built by general distribution of
the cost. That the negative was strongest
i'll its position, is the opinion of the
RECORD UNION, for we believe that it is

Good Agricultural Land for $40

me Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart OF Tehama County. FOR the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment This land embraces lands from FIRST
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, 10
land Of fair average quality, and IS offered at
rom $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
90, so, 12o, 16O and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They viii be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated. by the pay
ment of interest only Tor three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the frst Oh five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
clpal is &c be paid tor three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years ia which TO
pay five equal annual iDstallments, with in
terest at the rate Of per cent. per annurn,
making payments extending over s period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity TO purchase
land Of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at S20 an acrs,
with other grades Of land at prices TO CORE
5pond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming. and es-
Peciauy adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less thsn from $50 70
800 an acre. An examination Of the land
subject Of this advertisement will prove to
home-seelIers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase Of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on termz of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object Of the purchase Of this
body Of land was .he breaking up OF large
holding for the purpose Of promoting its set
tlenent in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbAndry.

A HANDso8IE and shapely actress has
secured about $1,000 worth of free
advertising and two shrewd business men
of Chicago about $4,000 worth of free
notices of a money-making scheme from
the press of the country without paying
out a single cent. The two speculators
resolved to have a statue of Justice"
with her eyes open, made out of Mon
tana silver. They worked up, very cum
ningly, competition between Montana
danes for the position of model. and at
Eastern actress. Of course, there fol-
lowed any amount of protests from dis
appointed actresses, ard from the women
OF Montana as a body there went up a
Western howl. This was exactly what
the schemers wanted. The press has
played into their hands by publishing
column after column of supposed news"
about the statue and the spectators have
paid no one-unless they manipulated
the original news medium that sent out
the matter. 1t is now announced that the
statue is to be exhibited throughout this
country and Europe, and that similar
statue is to be made for every State, each
furnishing its own model. When it
comes down to real greenness the press
is more used by sharpers for free adver-
tising than any other means of publicity.
With all ats boasted shrewdness it is
taken in every day and done for in the
easiest way imaginable. Really, it some-
times seems as if the whole world was
laughing in its sleeve over the simplicity
and guIlibility of news distributors.

REV. Mr.. SMITH was convicted of
heresy by a church council in Cincinnati
on Tuesday. The vote stood twenty-seven
for innocent" thirty-one for guilty"
So Mr.. Smith is a hereto by four major
ity. Now suppose two of the council who
voted aye had voted nay; then on
twenty-nine to twenty-nine ballot
would Mr.. Smith have been half hereto
and half orthodox? No, he would have
been like the Scotch defendant, guilty but
not proven. For charge in such cases
and even division of the jury would
wreck Mr.. Smiths orthodoxy ehectually.
But the amusing fact is that the truth
was dependent for it's justification upon
the vote of two men as to whether Smiths
path to heaven is the right one, or
whether sinners should go on to the next
forks of the road. Now the time was
when men of Smiths unlucky stripe
were taken out and burned at the stake.
Will they do that for Smith, or even de-
Gently hang him? No, they will commit
him to the tender mercies of the religious
press, and then Smith will set up his own
pulpit, and the people who hold with the
twenty-six will come to his shop, and
those who hold with the twenty-eight
will do business at the old stand. But,
nevertheless, Smith will remain here
tic. These farces are doing more to in
jure true religion and to bring the cause
of salvation into contempt than the most
lively energy and diabolical activity of his
majesty, the Devil.

Mr.. CLEVELAND spoke at the Reform

most happily that he possesses the art Of
concealing thought while giving voice
to much expression. Read his speech
over and over, scan it, ponder over it, and
still one cannot tell for the life OF him
what Mr.. Cleveland said. He was a
sealed volume as to any and all things
that would indicate any line of policy the
new administration will adopt. Certainly
Mr.. Cleveland can be as close as the
sphinx when he chooses, and since his
election he has mostly chosen to be
dumb. Not unwisely has he adopted this
policy; the man who says nothing gets a
great deal of credit for what he might
