An interesting point was brought out
by superintendent Foshay when he
stated that out of a total increase OF
school children in the state during the
past year of 10000, Los Angeles county
had 304S and the city alone 2704, or q
amount necessary to be obtained from
the city was $4,000. while Auditor Mich
OILS had allowed but 100000.
MI Braly, in further urging the neces-
sity of the full appropriation, stated tha;
while it had been the custom heretofore
to regulate the length of the school year
by the amount of funds on hand along
in the spring, the present board had re-
solved to fix an exact limit of ten months
and would need every cent. The term
had lasted from nine months to nine
years. but now would continue for a
full ten months. Director Bartlett spoke
a few words, urging the necessity for
an appropriation adequate to the in
creasing needs of the schools. and the

have as the expense per census child
S2O.11
Now the number of census children
for 1897 is 2S, 1884, multiply this by $2O.1
and we have $40. .252.24, which represents
of course the amount of money neces-
sary to carry on the school department
for the current year on the same basis
of expenditure as last year, namely,
SPOIL per census child. According to
the state law for appropria ting school
moneys we shall have:
| "First-So00 for every 20 census chill
dren. This will give us $167,025
Second, we shall have not less than
$12 per scholar on the average attendance
at school for the year ended June 30,
1897. The average attendance as given
by our city superintendent is 10, 400; this
multiplied by twelve gives us $160, ,90S.
We have a balance on hand as per our
secretary's report of $50, 739 81. We asked
the city to give us the limit of the max
imum percentage this year, which is 20
cents on the $100 on the assessment roll.
We think it safe to count on getting from
the city $4,000. This will give us a
total receipt of school moneys of S494,-
672.97 l find from the county supern-
tendent's office that the amount appor-
toned on the average daily attendance
for 1896 was $13 so, and for the previous
year $13,75. We may therefore safely
count on getting, say, 81 more than the
1872 of the above estimate, which will give
us $13, 400 This added to the $494 672 81
makes S50s, ,OS1.97, the total receipt. The
amount which we may safely count or
receiving.
We find that the percentage of the av-
erage daily attendance on the total CEN
sus child for 1867 is 65 per cent; this
gives by calculation an average daily
attendance on the present census of
23,3S4, 1919. We have at the present
time employed AIS teachers all told,
which was found to be sufficient to take
care of the total number of children now
in our city. Now, allowing for an in
crease of children for the current year
equal to the increase of the past year,
it will be necessary to provide for twen-
ty-five to thirty y-five more teachers,
which at an average of $500 each for
thirty teachers is $4,000 for teaching
force. Adding one-quarter to this, or
$60OO. for all other purposes makes $780,.
600, which is fair estimate for the care
of the increase Oh cnllQren IOr the cur
rent year.

Surese Tranquillizer of the Nerves.

The surest tranquillizer of the nerves
is medicine which remedies their
upersensitiveness by invigorating
them. Over tension of the nerves al
ways weakens them. What they need
then, is a tonic, not sedative. The
latter is only useful when there is in
tense mental excitement. and an
immediate necessity exists for produce
ing quietude of the brain. Hostet,er's
Stomach Bittars restores tranquility
OF the nerves by endowlng them with
the vigor requisite to bear, without be-
ing Jared or disturbed unhealthfully,
the ordinary impressions produced
through the media Of sight, hearing
and reflection. Nay, it does more than
this-it unables them to sustain de-
gree of tension from mental application
which they would be totally unable to
endure without its assistance. Such,
at least, is the irresistible conclusion to
be drawn from the testimony OF
business and professional men, litter
ateurs, clergymen, AND others who have
tested the fortifylng and reparative in
huence of this celebrated tonic and
nervine.

pany this side of Chicago.
The play selected for the introduc-
ton of the company is that high-class
English Comedy-drama, entitled "Har-
vest." play full of heavy dramatic
work and of difficult execution, and al
though spicy vein of comedy runs
throughout the performance there are
no situations at any time that deviate
from plays usually presented by so-call-
ed lone night stand" companies charg-
ing regular prices.
The cast is composed of ladies and
and gentlemen. all of whom are gifted
with more than ordinary professional
ability. In addition to producing a
irst-class dramatic performance, such

ers, singing and dancing comedian
