/ department as in his jndginen; may be
needed.
The water works had advanced Gar
enough towards completion hy the ist OF
Sept. 1871, to enable preliminary tests
! of the work to be made. The water works
however, were not formally certified as
being completed until the 9TH of Decem-
Der. So great, however, was the anxiety
of the people to have the benefits of the
water works at once that some service
pipes were connected with the mains dur
ing the interval between these two dates,
and more connections would have been
made had it not been for the lateness Of
the season when ali out door work had To
be suspended.
These service pipes were partly of iron
and partly Of led pipe, but in future all
service pipes under a one inch corpora
ton will be of lead pipe of standard
weight, as per resolution of the Council.
Water rates on few of these services
were charged for from the Ist Of october,
others from such dates as the water was
turned on.
The following figures are submitted to
show the character and condition Of the
water works as they now are. The dis

WANT A HIGHER RATE.
Railroad Men Think Coal Oil Is Shipped
Altogether Too Cheap in
This State.

The Board of State Railroad Commits
sioners heard arguments yesterday in IA
vor of advancing the rate on petroleum
and its products. Vice-President Stubs
of the Southern Pacific R. X Ryan, gen
eral freight and passenger agent of the
San Francisco and North Pacific, and Gen.
eral Freight Agent Bush of the Atlantic
and Pacific made the complaint that the
present rate on coal oil is too low to leave
any profit for their companies.
They wanted an increase in rate, and to
support their appeal they made a very
plausible showing.
Formerly coal oil is less than carload lots
was classed as double first-class rate, -
but the western classification freight rates
reduced it to third class, which railroad
men contend is too sweeping and inequit-
able. On the other hand, protests from
dealers in paints and oils were read at the
meeting, in which it was stated that the
prevailing rate here is high IN comparison
with that of other States.
Mr.. Stubs argued that the risk attend
ant upon transportation of coal oil should
be considered, and he submitted figures to
show that the proposed advance would be
only trihing matter to consumers-not
so cents year to a consumer in Fresno.
What was wanted is tirst-class rate on
less than carload lots, which would be
from 10 to 20 per cent less than the old rate.
Mr.. Ryan said that petroleum should be
carried only in tanks, but it is necessary to
carry it in small lots here as an accommo-
dation to people in thinly populated dis
tricts. The matter was laid over till the
next meeting, when dealers will be asked
for an opinion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
changing the rate.

EDUCATION OF CHILDREN,
Interesting Lecture by Profess
sor Bailey of the Uni
VerSity.
Lifting the Common UP to the Ideal
to Reach Absolute Per-
lection.

The lecture-room of the Mark Hopkins
Institute of Art was crowded with teachers
of San Francisco, Oakland, Alameda and
Berkeley, who assembled to hear Professor
T. P. Bailey, assistant professor of peda-
gogy at the State University, deliver a lee
ture on Child Study" yesterday after
noon. The professor said:
Man is an animal, and is guided by his in
stincts. l believe persons deepest instincts
arise from his deepest interests. Education
must proceed along the lines which will satisfy
the child; therefore, that education is the best
thing for him.
children have two sorts of instincts-in-
herited and acquired. When some instinct of
child is mischievous the energy displayed
during its exercise should be drafted on to
some good, inherited instinct. 1t is a wise
thing to cultivate the child's natural gregari-
business. Make him social as we'll as individual.
Break down the distinction between the two
sexes and make them help each other as well
as furnish discipline for their own control.
This is the right sort of socialism in which
individuality does not lead to individualism,
and properly trained children are socialists of
the highest order. Sanity is equipoise.
Children should be educated through their
esthetical instincts and, as nature is first in
order, education should begin with nature and
proceed from that TO science. The earth is a
harmony, sometimes a symphony, and what
more beautiful to the youthful mind than the
contemplation of natures beauties.
Estheticism must be reached through the
ideal instincts Even the adult can acquire
scientific knowledge best through faithful
study of nature.
AS the instinct of religion or the conception
of duty is weak in the child, and is q late de-
velopment, better results are obtained through
example than by forcing rigid rules on chill
dren. uperconscientiousness or deceit are
sure to follow the latter course, and win pre-
vent child from making his own living prop
erly.
Don't forget that there are two kinds of per-
feptinn Ia
absolute, but cultivate the relative i'll the mean
time.
In conclusion, the professor advised his
hearers to lift the common up to the ideal,
and they would then come very near per-
fiction.

spect and obey the laws and in the same
issue, even on the same page printed the re-
suits of lottery drawing in contravention of
law. These papers which thus violate the law
set bad example, and when people who see
what they do follow the example set and rise
in violation of law these same papers are the
hrst TO call upon the militia TO shoot down the
men who have risen. l should like to see these

nent member of my congregation called my

the announcement that it had done with
lotteries and | rejoiced that there was one
paper that had taken step in the right di-
Tectlon. There is spirit OF gambling in the
land that is constantly increasing and every
movement to suppress it is to be commended.
Rev. Robert Mackenzie of the First Pres
byterian Church, in reply to a question,
said:
lotteries is one of great importance. The CALL
Is right in the stand it has taken, and, in my
opinion, every paper ought TO follow Its ex-
ample. What are these lists OF results that are
given? Only q showing that a few have won
something; but never a word is said of the
many who do not win anything. believe that
it is right that everything should be done to
put down schemes of this character, as they
against good morals, against law, and democrat
ize communities in which they exist
Rev. John Hemphill, pastor of Calvary
Church, said:
The CALL is to be commended for It's course
in refusing TO publish lottery advertisements.
l am opposed to lottery, in fact, to all kinds of
gambling and am ready to do all can, by
voice or pen, to assist in suppressing the evil.
Newspapers ought not to publish lottery lists,
for they do more harm than many people have
any idea Of You can say for me that I am
opposed to everything in the shape of lottery,
no matter for what purpose, Why, when the
Mercantile Library lottery scheme was gotten
up l preached against it, because it was Wrong.

library is the outcome of the manner in which
it obtained its money. If people find difficulty
they will not be so ready to invest in schemes
that impoverish the many for the benefit OF
