universal esteem of the teaching force and
of the public as we'll.
Permit me, in closing, to make few
suggestions for the advancement of our
public school system.
The first has to do with manual train
ing. The public needs educated and
skilled hands, as well as trained intel
lects, and the fitting of our youths for
some worthy and honest trade is well de-
serving place IN our scientific depart
ment.
Some knowledge Of bookkeeping and
business forms is needful to every educa-
ton, and should be furnished, if posi-
bic, in our public schools.
| would also recommend that the school
savings bank system, which has been
successfully introduced in other places,
be given an early trial here.
Cultivation of the habit of frugality
should receive as much attention as that
of industry. The two go side by side.
The working ofthe free text book plan
adopted in Cam bridge, Mass, and after
ward upon its merits adopted generally
throughout New England, has been so
satisfactory that it has long since passed
out of the realm of the doubtful expert
ment into that of an assured success.
For the sympathy of a friendly public,
and the cooperation of a faithful corps
of teachers, we are thankful. We ac-
knowledge the great help extended to our
schools by the directors of our city Ii
brary, who, together with the librarian
and her ASST stants, have given invaluable
aid to the teachers and pupils throughout
our whole school system.

The mbers of the board of engineers
whose DUTY it is to examine into the
qualifications of all of the stationary en-
gineers in the city, has filed with the
council claim for services for attending
upon meetings covering a period of seven
and one-half months. Each wants pay
for forty-three sessions attended at the
rate OF IS each. The mem bers allege that
since they have been in Office they have
earned for the city total of 1889. The
claims will probably be referred to the
city attorney for an opinion as to its le-
gality. The ordinance provides for the
payment of So to each mem,er of the
board for each regular meeting. The
secretary OF the board has made up his
minutes, however, to make it appear that
all of the meetings held were special

He Would Also Like to See School

The Free Text Book System Is No Longer an
Experiment Schools
and the New Buildings

The annual report OF the board of edu-
cation is out. The book is a volume of
100 pages, containing the usual data and
statistics with which the readers of the
yHerald are familiar. The book Is profuse-
ly illustrated with cuts of all the princi-
pal school buildings. President Hale Of
the Doaru OF education says in that por-
ton of the report devoted to him:
Your board Of education present to you
this, their annual report, feeling sure
that you will lind in it many features of
interest and statistics of work done which
We trust will meet with your approval.
We feel grateful for the pronoun 1ed
public sentiment which has susta ined US
through many difficult and trying sItua-
tons.
1t is the great desire of your board
that in a city of such rapid growth and
prosperity as Los Angeles the educational
facilities SHOULD keep pace with other
lines of progress.
1t is i'm possible that this can be done
without carefully planning for the future.
1t is the more intelligent class that we
desire to have settle among us, and edu-
cational facilities are among tile first
things that such people Will look for
when considering the making of home
for their families.
Your board OF education and your
teachers Will make Just IS good schools
rs the citizens will sustain them in pro-
ducing.
To this end we would urgently invite
the public to make themselves familiar
with the methods, work and aim of our
public schools, since no successful adj
vance can be made without the sympa-
thy and cooperation of the parents.
We are glad to note the increase dur
ing the past year in the attendance upon
our schools, this year IA, 202 having been
In attendance. against II, $40 last year,
or an increase OF over q per cent. NOT
outstanding this increase of 2512 pupils,
We close the year with balance in our
treasury OF $50, 1882.
The overcrowded condition of our
schools strongly demanded increased IA
cilities in added rooms and new buildings
in.order to properly care for the pupils.
= The appeal to the public to vote addi-
tional bonds for this purpose was not in
vain, and the bonds were carried by
handsome majority. The credit of our
city in the financial world is shown by
the sale of these bonds at a premium of
over $4,000, they bearing only AZ per
cent interest.
We regret that the new school buildings
are not to be ready for occupation at the
opening of the next term, but your board
has labored faithfully and diligently to
bring about their completion at the earl
lest possible moment.
The condition of our teaching force is
probably thu best that it has ever been.
All are experienced workers who stand
high in their profession, and nearly all
have had experience IN our city schools.

few days ago Thomas Leach, an elderly
man. close upon 60 years of age, appea red
before Cupid Kurtz in the court houseiand
told him an interesting little story. He
stated that he had recently taken his
discharge from tha Soldiers home, for
the reason that he was hale and strong,
and didn't want the government to keep
him when he was fully able to keep him
self. He was in daily expectation of re-
ceiving his pension, and then he intend
ed to get something to do to eke out his
small income earned hardly on the battle
field. Sure enough, the old fellow aga in
appeared on the following day and hand
ed an unopened official envelope to Mr..
Kurtz, with a request that he open it.
When $42 was placed in his hand the old
fellows face beamed, and he wisely left
$37 and his papers in the office while he
went off, supposedly to look for work.
During the afternoon OF Thursday he
drew the money he had deposited for
safety, saying he intended leaving the
city, but he preferred to let his papers
remain.
On Friday morning disconsolate indi-
vidual answering to the name of Leach
entered the office and dolefully explained
to Mr.. Kurtz that he had been ''done
up for the $37 he had drawn down. He
wanted four bits to hep him out. He
didn't get 1t. He begged for 10 cents.
He didn't get that either, but instead
Kurtz read the riot act to him. Albeit
Kurtz is the cupid" OF the marriage IL
cense office, he is an old soldier himself.
Leach understood there was no help for
him there and taking his pension papers
he made off.
Yesterday afternoon he once again re-
ported to say that even his papers had
been stolen from him. While kurtz has
broad sympathy for his comrades that
wore the blue, be- has no use for a reck-
less fool, and he promptly referred Leach
to the Associated Charities for the relief
