COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

President Davis, of the Board OF |
Education. advises the enforcement
of the compulsory education law, a
law which has been practically dead
letter since it took effect, on March
%. 1874. He has found that the
proportion of children between the
ages of and II years who do not
attend any school, public or private,
is much greater than it should be-
after making proper allowance for
invalids and other incapables.
For instance, in 1888, out of to-
tai of 6193 census children, 21O6, or
81 Der cent, did not attend any
school at all, and only 1881, or 81
per cent, attended the public schools.
In 1891, in census of $500, only
1861, attended the public schools,
and 1889 attended no schools what
ever.
The apparent falling off in the
number of census children during til
past five years, which necessarily I'M
plies falling off in the population,
has led Mr.. Davis and many others
TO conclude that the school census
has not been properly taken, lie
therefore urges the Board to rigidiy
supervise the taking of the census III
the future.
There is. however, nothing alb
normal nor unusual in the condition
of affairs as reported by Mr.. DAVIS.
In MANY communities in the United
States and elsewhere it has been OBJ
served that not mere than % or oo
per cent, of the total number OF cen
sus children attend schools OF any
kind. There is not that percentage
OF invalids and incapables among
census school children, but greater
part of that percentage is probably
made up Of children who are Obliged
to work in factories and elsewhere In
order to assist in the support ct the
family. and Of children kept at home
70 mind the babies while their
brothers and sisters and parents are
at work.
The percentage of literacy, how
ever, in any community is not a re-
liable index either of its prosperity
or morality. Trustworthy statistics
show that in certain European COM
munities noted for the small percent
age Of crime the percentage OF liter
acy was much lower than 1t was IN
communities in which the percentage
of crime was large. The same COIN
cidence has been remarked IN the
United States. Some of the most
daring and clever burglars have been
able to repeat the multiplication table
backwards, while the most expert
forgers on record have been known
to write hand like copperplate.
Education and morality are not
synonymous. Compulsory morality
is needed more than compulsory ed
ucation. Sacramento Bee.

GOLD FOUND IN GEORGIA.

covered De Soto's Mine.

W. G. Padget, a sawmill man operating
mill in the mountains northeast OF Elijay,
Ca, has accidentally discovered some inter-
esting relics In the way of stone mortars and
other implem ents which be thought had been
used In mining. Ancient excavations further
lent color to this supposition. Mr.. Padget
secured the services OF Professor Clark. an
old mining engineer, to prospect the place.
In one OF the excavations they discovered
the spur OF quartz vein, which they went
down for bit. 1t proved better than they
had dreamed. They found gold sticking in
the quartz In plenty visible to the naked eye.
Professor Clark said:
"It Is valuable find beyond doubt. be-
lieve it to be the exact spot where De Soto
and his followers located and mined for gold
and silver 300 years ago. There is evidence
t) prove this. The remains OF large fort,
the cid excavations, some OF which have
trees growing in them 200 years old, the
ing utensils, mortars and other relics

The "Toad'' Ring.

The "toad" rings are among the
curiosities of the Londesborough col
lection of antique rings. They are
very curious specimens, symbolic of
the superstitions of the middle ages,
when the toad was supposed to swal-
low diseases as easily as he is repre-
sented swallowing a snake. 1t was
then believed that stone called era
paudine was found in the head Of the
toad, and the virtue it contained WAS
a talisman to the wearer. This is de-
clared to be the precious jewell
Shakespeare immortalized but which
is usually interpreted as the eye
"Sweet are the uses OF adversely,
Which. like the toad, ugly and yenemous
Yet wears precious jewel in its head"
