The Lick School, which the president,
Horace Davis. declares. "wil be the most
benefcent ana far-reaehing in its ulti-
mate effects of all the institutions pro-
vided for by the neer-philanthropist,"
will be opened for classes on Monday, the
7th day Of January, 1895. Numerous ap-
plications for admission have already been
received and it is evident 10 the board of
trustees that the maximum number of
scholars that can be accommodated will
be present on the day the school opens. 1t
may not generally be understood that the
school makes no discrimination against
pupils living outside San francisco, as
every one who can pass the neces sary ex-
aminations, be he a citizen of San Fran
cisco or not is entitled to all the benefits
of the school without distinction.
The plan of instruction provides for a
combined manual and trades schools
course of four years. The manual-irain-
ing course, as whole, is the same for all
pupils and is required of all. There are
fifteen technical courses, but after the
third year the student may exercise his
own discretion in the matter of continu-
ing in one OF these technical courses. In
the Misunderstanding course the academic
branches are limited to two and half
years. but the industrial branches continue
half year longer. The time of attend
ance will be from A. NJ. to $3.50 P. NJ dur
ing the first two and half years and from 9
A. NJ. 10 80 p NJ for the remainder of the
course. In grade the institution will be
classed as a high school, the academic
branches from the beginning being of a
high-school character.
There will be no charge for tuition. but
students will be required 10 furnish their
own books, drawing instruments, overalls
and aprons, and to pay the actual cost of
working material.

the first year includes English, mathe-
MATES, science and history in the aca-
demic, and carpentry, free-hand drawing

In the second aud third years the same
studies in the academic course will be

government, while the industrial course
will include for boys, forging, free-band
and mechanical drawing and wood carv-
ing. and for girls, dressmaking and mlli-
