Women preachers, as we'll as women
lawyers, women voters, women bicy-
clists and women in business are
making it more and more apparent
that 1.-The gentler seX," is not neces-
sarily "the weaker SEX" morally,
mentally or physically.
Rev. Mrs. Lydia Goldman is an eX-
ample of the womanly woman whose
influence for good in the community
is on a par with that of the manly
man.
She is not one of that silly class of
persons who, broken down in health
by mental or bodily strain, not quite
sick enough to be abed, put off think
ing seriously of getting we'll.
Improperly nourished nerves and
poor blood soon pile, up desperate
number OF disorders.
On the other hand, when reduced
health and spirits are early recognized
and cOurageOuSly taken in hand at
once, when Paine's celery compound
is used to restore the integrity of the
nerves and blood, no further trouble
is to be feared.
Paine's celery compound at once
COrrects any unhealthy condition of
the nervous system. 1t forwards the
richest possible elements of growth to
every nerve cell and the remotest
nerve thread throughout the body.

and permanently cures every form of

and women living in widely-separated
states is one of the best evidences OF
how Paine'S celery compound is re-
garded all over the country.
Woman's peculiar life brings Ian
guor and listlessness that are best
met by Paine's celery compound. The
dispirited condition, the backaches,
the neuralgia headaches, the Sleep
lessneSS and nervous debility, that so
frequently attacks women when their
blood is robbed of it's vitality is soon
dispelled when Paines celery COM
pound is used.
Mrs. Goldman, writing October 30
from her home, 157 Scott street, Will
kesbarre, Penn, says:
Gully approaching the benefits
from the use of Paine'S celery COM
pound | recommend it to others.
Suffering from sleeplessness and ner-
vous debility, | was persuaded to use
this truly greatest of remedies. AL
though [ can have every medicine
from my brothers, the druggists here,

trial, and musU confess only to my
benefit. My only boy, four years old,
was also treated with it, and his ner-
vousness has disappeared. My father,
Rev. G. Kuehn, with whom [ live,
thinks a great deal of Paine's celery
compound. l shall always keep it in
the house."
There are untold numbers of women
who are working and worrying enough
to drive them into their graves if
Paine's celery compound were not al
ways in their homes to strengthen
and restore their brains and nerves
when there was great need of it.

m ittees of ten and fifteen as far as IS
adaptable to our schools, and we are al
ready beginning to feel its good effects.
Wheneve our boys and girls have occa-
sion to go outside and contest for position
they have covered themselves with honor
and won respect and consideration for old
Mendocino. The last three appointments
to cadetships at West Point and the last
one to Annapolis have been decided by
conn etitive examination open to boys OF
the required age from all the counties in
the Congressional district, and Mendo-
cino boy has carried off the prize in each
case. Two of these cadets, one from West
Point and one from Annapolis, have al
ready graduated with the highest honors.
From this we reason that our schools are
good and our material the very best.
OF our teachers about one-fourth are
from abroad and the others are people of
our own county. Mendocino has 101 COM
mon school districts, in which 124 teachers
are employed at an average salary OF 500
per month. The average length of school
year is about eight months. There are
45O0 census children, and the average daily
attendance is about 5000.
We have two county high schools. one
at Mendocino City with an enrolment OF
sixty-four, and one at Ukiah with lis on
the register. A principal and two assist
ants are employed in each high school.
The amount to be expended for school pur-
poses this year will approximate $780, 900.

SO ont of the 121 districts The county pos
sesses three high schoels-one in the city,
and two being established upon the union
high school plan. During the last year 24S
pupils attended these schools, 81 of whom
graduated. Each graduate cost in teach
ers' salaries about $3.50 last year.
The city of Fresno has four substantial
ward school buildings, some of which are
even now overcrowded. The schools
throughout the county were first system

into heads of American" families by
the next generation. Truly the process is
marvellous.
The school system of Marin County does
not differ essentially from that of other
counties in the State. The small area is
comprised of thirty-seven school districts,
two of which are Joint with Sonoma
County. A common course of study,
prepared by County Board of
Education, outlines the principal
work to be done in the different grades
and serves to unity and systematic the
schools. A few less than sixty teachers
perform the work of education Tor the
entire county. The standard of qualit-
cations for teachers is as high as any for
the best educational counties in the State.
A majority of the teachers have had
professional training for their work.
Others have brought themselves up to
fair standard of efficiency by practical ex-
perience in their calling, supplemented by
q course of reading from pedagogical
books. 1t is generally acknowledged that
q more faithful and efficient body of
teachers cannot be found in our State.
The highest teaching skill is required to
humanities found in many Marin County
districts.
Entering school with no knowledge Of
English, perhaps unable to give either
name or age with racial traits peculiar to
the type, each little tyro is an enigma
which the teacher must solve, chrysalis
which she must carefully unfold to reach
the undeveloped being within. All do not
develop into butterflies or angels. Ten
denotes inherited through long line of
ancestry cannot at once be eliminated by
any process with K, y and known to
mathematical science.
Marin County has some good schools,
even in the sparsely settled dairy sections,
where circumstances are more favorable
for educational work than those described.
Several districts, largely composed of
English-speaking people, have graded
schools of high standard OF excellence.
Sessions of nine school months in the year
are usually held in such schools. In few
country districts ten months of school are
maintained. In the smaller districts eight
month terms are the rule. There is q grow
ing feeling in many communities of the
county that the rate of school support
should be so increased as to enable all dis
tricts to have ten months of school each
year. The schools of San Rafael and Sau-
salito are we'll graded and fully equipped
for the best educational work. The for
mer has fourteen teachers employed. The
thriving villages of Novato, Mill Valley
and Tomales have each a graded school of
primary and grammar departments.
The high school at San Rafael is doing
excellent work not only for resident pupils
but also for others from adjacent districts.
1t is on the accredited list for admission to
the University of California.
The proposition to erect new high
school building in San Rafael in the near
future is favored.

comparative poverty of the county the
support of the schools has been liberal.
For the year 1894 the assessment roll of
the county was 81, 1888, 153, and there was
raised for school purposes $16,740.
There are fifty-two school district in the
county, and sixty-three teachers EN-
ployed. The average length of the school
term for 1894 was 80 months. The total
number of census children was 2631, OF
whom 1854 were enrolled in the schools.
There were employed last year fourteen
male teachers at an annual salary of SOS IS
per month, and forty-nine female at an
salary of $50 SO per month.
There is no high school in the county.
Up to 1879 there was no course of study in
existence. In that year one was presented
by the Board of Education and was put
into general effect.
One peculiar feature of our schools, aris-
ing mainly from our isolated position, is
the number of teachers of home produc-
tion 1t has been said that about six
teachers have made the schools of Gala
veras, since the present teachers are nearly
all the pupils of these pioneers.
We believe the results are seen in the
class of graduates that issue from our
schools While we realize our imperfec-
tions, we are willing to have our schools
judged by the results they attain.

Monterey County.

The growth Of the public schools of this
county since 1860 has been apace with the
other counties of the State.
At the present time the schools consist
of fifty-two primary classes, eightysgram-
mar-grade classes and one high school.
There is uniform work in all the schools
and spirit of progress among the teach
ers.
The Salinas City High School has three
teachers and an enrolment of about fifty
pupils. It's course is one of the best in the
State, the school being on the accredited
list of the State University and Stanford
University.
Sixty of the one hundred school dis
tricts have erected new school buildings
during the last ten years, many of the
buildings being of the type OF modern
school architecture. 1t is not in fine
school buildings that the educational sem
timent has shown it's advancement so
much as in the better class of teachers
selected, increased interest in school mat
ters, and feeling that the children OF the
county must have every advantage pos
sble. The educational outlook in this
county is bright. JOB WOOD JR.

and been considered marvellous. Here 1t
is but a condition of the country.
The city OF Los Angeles has not been
able to keep up with the increase OF her
population and at present there are fully
1000 children who are attending halliday
sessions. The completion OF the new
school buildings, for which 100000 in
bonds were issued, viii for time relieve
this congestion. TIE new buildings will
contain 12S rooms and be capable of ac-
commodating about 5000 pupils.
The number or school children in the
city exceeds 5000, of which $4,000 appear
on the rolls, the actual attendance being
10.145. The increase on the rolls last
month was 1872 or at the rate of 1920 per
year, condition Of affairs that will neces-
state erecting more buildings as soon as
those already contracted for are COM
pleted.
In the outside districts it will be ncces-
sary to cite but few instances to show
the phenomenal progress that has been
made since 1887. Pasadena then had
ten teachers; this year there are
forty-two Monrovia, organized in 1897
with one teacher, now has seven.
Redondo, organized in 1889 with one
teacher, now has four. Santa Monica in
1887 employed three teachers, at present
thirteen; Garvanza one, now five; Long
Beach one this year six; Pomona (then
Palomares District seven, now thirty-two,
and Rosedale increased from two to fifteen
teachers.

the present time having many public
school buildings fitted with valuable Ii
braries and school apparatus.
The buildings are mostly modern, hav-
ing been erected during the past ten
years, and especial attention has been
given to those two most important factors,
drainage and ventilation. At the close of
the fiscal year, 1894-95, the following re-
port was made and serves to show the con-
dition of the schools in this country at
that time:
Number of school districts, 122; num-
Der as per census of school children in the
county, 46,S77, 1900 of whom were under
years of age; number OF children en-
rolled, %, 450. There are employed in the
county this year 661 teachers, the average
monthly salary of male teachers being $50,
females $50. The total expense for the
year 1894-95 was $4S3, 4S8, or an average of
SO per scholar.
The valuation of lots, buildings and
school furniture was 81, 395, 900; school IL
braries, S34, 615; school apparatus, $21, 545.
Total, 81, 451 100. AS the bonded indebted
ness at that time was only $270,575 and
there was balance on hand of $131, 1853
the showing Tor comparatively young
community is a remarkable one.
There has recently been organized for
the benefit of the teachers what is known
as the Los Angeles County Pedagogical
Society. 1t is divided into circles or
groups, each circle consisting of about

Calaveras County.

The schools of the small mountain
counties, of which Caiaveras may be taken
as a fair type, present many unique 1eat-
ures not to be found in the more thickiy
populated parts of the State. Walleo IN
by our mountain Businesses, cut Oh iioin
railroad connection with the eoucasioiiai
centers and means of educational grown
and progress, this county has always peeA
dependent upon itself for what OF progress
it has made. Its schools and schooI WORN
stand by themselves, and what OF Vaiue
they possess is due mainly to the earnest
work of faithful teachers backed oy an III
telligent community.
A leading educator of this State, one
whose work has brought him in contact
with schools and school matters IN all
parts of the State, said of us IN ERECT at
recent institute OF the county that 'Cala-
veras represented educatlonally, as III
other things, an extreme OF civilization, OF
which Los Angeles, San Diego and other
progressive communities were the other.
There all that was modern and progressive,
here the old and conservative; there the
age OF railroads, of electricity and OF the
highest culture, here the stagecoach, tie
pick ana pan and the sturdy independence
of 49,"
To great extent is this true, and yet
with all the disadvantages, despite the
lack of means and the educational at
mosphere OF more favored localities, we
claim for our schools that they turn out
men and women strong, sturdy and stall
wart in all that goes to make up MANHOOD
and womanhood. And if by some stroke
OF fortune any of these pupils are trans
ferred to city schools they at once take
rank in the essential studies, even ahead
of those of the same age who have lad the
advantage OF those schools continuously.
Our schools do not attempt to teach so
much, but the mind is concentrated upon
work of practical value, and the value OF
the time spent in school is fully impressed
upon the minds of the children. 1t costs
an effort to get an education, and it is ap-
preciated accordingly.
From the first there has been strong
New England element here, and the hold
of the public school upon the people has
been naturally strong. Considering the

Mendocino County.

Up here in Mendocino we are doing our
very best to keep toward the front in edu-
cation and to get everything possible out
of it. Perhaps we are somewhat but not
hopelessly behind, but like Barkis we are
''willin.'" Not willing to say Satisfied
but to say "we are in position to do
much better in the future" This position
is being made clear by the light of the
New Education" which is beginning to
throw its eniivening beams among us.
Truly it is a powerful searchlight, by
which are revealed the fallacies and incon-
sistencies of some of our old methods and
theories. The electrical source of this
light is the minds OF the great philoso-
piers and educators of the past and pres
emit: Froebel, Pestalozzi, Kant, Herbert
Spencer, Harris, De Garmo, Sully, Bald
win, Arnold and many others. Each OF
these is giving every day to help all, even
the young teacher of the remote m ountain
district with six or ten pupils.
1t seems truly marvellous to the teacher
of this district, unheard of outside the
little co immunity and unknown to nine
tenths OF the people of the country, that
these great men and women come long
Journeys from distant days and far-away
lAncs and give their best thoughts to aid
the few little children gathered there in
becom ing good men and women.
The Board of Education adopted new
course of study last July which bids fair
to eventually swing US into line with the
first ranks. 1t carries out the recon-
mendations and suggestions of the COM

Santa Cruz County.

No State Of the Union gives of her treas
ure more freely and abundantly for the ed
ucation of her children than does Califor-
mia, and we are proud of the fact, which
is conceded by all, that our schools, urban
and rural taken together, stand in the
front rank, surpassed by none and equaled
by few.
Santa Cruz, the smallest in area Of the
counties of the State, with the single ex-
ception of San Francisco, ranks thirteenth
IN the number of school census children.
and in the efficiency OF her schools stands
well among her sister counties.
Through the beneficence of the State,
the generous support and genuine sympa-
thy OF her people, the earnest endeayor OF
her local school boards and the true and
progressive educational spirit which in
spires her teachers, she has provided for
her children the means of obtaining an
education which comprises the work from
the kindergarten to The high school, and
which she confidently believes will fit
them to become true, loyal, self.respecting
and self.supporting citizens OF the COM
monwealth.
During the past year the people in many
parts VI the county have freely taxed them
selves to provide additional facilities for
the education of their children.
The city OF Santa Cruz has added twenty
new schoolrooms to her equipment this
year. Among these improvements has
been the erection of new high school
building, which is not only an adornment
