ton:
PROMOTIONS.
Pupils in all grades except the eighth
will be promoted at the discretion OF the
teacher in charge. Teachers should eXer-
else great care in the matter OF promotion,
as much of the success of the higher
grades depends upon the efficiency OF the
pupil in the lower ones. The basis OF
promotion will be on the term standing
and upon examination conducted by the
teacher. The necessary certificate blanks
for promotion will be forwarded on ap-
plication to the County Superintendent OF
Schools.
In addition to the report of classified
ton and grading of pupils In the state
school register, as required by Section
1896 Subdivision s. of the school law,
teachers and required to make record OF
all promotions in all grades during the
school term on blanks furnished, and for
ward the same 10 the County Superln-
tendent of Schools. The Superintendent
of Schools shall draw no requisition in
favor of any teacher for the salary Of the
last month of the term unless this pro-
vision is fully complied with.
DIPLOMAS OF GRADUATION.
The examination Of pupils for diplomas
of graduation from the grammar schools
of Sacramento County will be held dur
ing the month of June in each year, at a
time prescribed by the County Board of
Education, and at such places as may be
designated by the board as the most con-
venient 20 the various schools having
pupils for graduation.
A member of the County Board of Ed
ucation will conduct the examination in
each place.
The examination will be held between
the hours of $50 A. NJ. and P. NJ, with
an intermission OF at least one hour at
noon.
The subjects upon which pupils will be
examined, the rules governing the ex-
animation and the per cent. to be at
tanned will be in compliance with the
requirements set forth in the County
School Manual, edition of 1891.
Teachers must give at least one month S

mously.

Paper.

just Listen to Ex-senator Mof1itt's
Paper.
The Oakland Times, ex-senator Frank
MofEtt's paper, says:
Sacramento is hustling around to get
the Republican State Convention. This
shows case-hardened nerve. Sacramento
climate is bad enough in winter, but in
midsummer, when the gnats, mosquitoes
and salmon flies swarm in blOodthirSty
myriads through the reeking, steaming
atmosphere, 1t is simply horrible. 1t is
not even tit to boil potatoes in. What is
the use of asking convention to assem-
bic in place where the principal summer
industries are drinking iced steam beer
fighting mosquitoes and swearing at San
Jose? When men go to convention they
want to get in a place where they can do
something else besides to pant in the day
time and fight insects with bare knuckles
during the night hours. Oakland is the
town for holding the convention. It's not
too hot and it's not too cold; its girls are
pretty and not over-bold; the men not too
pious and not too gay; and there is no
objection TO little quiet ta-ra-ra- BOOM
decay. Don't mention Sacramento! 1t
makes one feel limp and sweaty 10 think
of it."
Such of our citizens as associated with
the gay and festive Oaklander when he
was here as a Senator will understand
why he feels limp and sweaty" when he
thinks of Sacramento. Others can guess
