HISTORY.
Mrs. E. B. Purnell next addressed the
institute on the subject of History,
She confined herself, by request she
said, 20 the branch Of United States
history. Children do not get an edu-
cation in our common schools che soid
in order that John and Mary may learn
a certain amount of grammar, arithme
tic, geography, etc, but in order that
they may by such education the bettar
fit themselves for the duties Of citi-
zenship. The present course of studv
in schools is much modified from tbat
or hfty years ago. This is largely
brought about by industrial changes
and questions which have underropa
much mutation by reason of inventions
and other conditions.
She did not believe anv oro
teach history well unless we felt his
tory. Our books on history are not al
ways well prepared The works and
history of the mound builders are very
interesting, but the child cares no more
about the mound builders than he does
about any other race. She believed
that history should contain the matters
that are factors in our national life
She believed chapters on Greece and
Rome would be well placed in the be-
ginning of the book. as well as some
thing about the Turks. who shut up the
routes OF travel so that new ones had
to be opened. as this had a bearing on
the discovery of our country The

Thirdly, the High School certificate,
which should demand the equivalent OF
a college education and the read
ing necessary for the preparation. In
regard to the High School certificate.
| the applicant should be required to
pass the examination in English. his
tory and mathematics, and then select
| any special study that he wished to
teach, and passing an examination in
that, should be given a certificate.
A certificate should not be good for all
time. because if the holder does not
teach, for a time, he naturally does not
progress, as others do, and We want the
progressive teachers. But. our certifi-
Gates should be renewed without pay
ing. because after teaching. we give
evidence of progressing. The time will
come when some of the Normal schools
VIII admit only high school graduates
There should be as great a uniformity
| as possible
Graduates from Normal schools of
o'her States should not be granted cer-
tihcates unless they do as much work
as the graduates of California Normal
schools
AS SiSdtest care should De taken to
guard the rights and privileges of
teachers, and laws should afford us pro-
| lection
If the teachers would all agree on a
general plan we could get all needed
laws through the Legislature.
We are growing and progressing. and
should demand higher qualifications
The number of certificates should be
reduced. At the present time there are
twelve hundred teachers in this State

is a vacancy, and if there is, never take

Mr.. Black said that he was glad he
had been a school teacher in his be-
loved State Of California. In conclu-
sion he related a story that Mr.. Howard
had told him:
Mr.. Howard was visiting a mining
camp, and the Superintendent. being
called away, gave the men a certain
amount OF work to do.
He remained away longer than he ex-
pected, and the men, having finished
their work, tried to find something else
to do.

Polander Badly Beaten.

Saturday afternoon four or five fellows
from Big Soldier drew their pay and
forthwith proceeded to gulp down the
liquid that intoxicates and stirs up the
devil in a man. When well filled they
raised a row at the Burns House.
When that was squelched and the bar
closed the fellows started for home and
near Tom Reynolds barn they met a
Polander whom one of the party had
had trouble with several weeks ago and
they pounced upon the Polander and
used him up shamefully, almost killing
him. His nose was broken, both eyes
closed, cash cut on top of his head, one
ear badly injured, and he was otherwise
bruised. He was sorry sight when the
doctor took charge of him. 1t required
five or six stitches to sew up the
wounds.

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone TO the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the liver
and kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try 1t.

arrested Boyd, who had a shap hatchet
in his hand, and in the scullle the sharp
edge of the hatchet punctured three or
four inches of skin on Adelsperger's
neck. Boyd was locked up in the East

fined there long. AS soon as the officer
was gone Boyd proceeded to put the

his liberty, In which he was successful.

him, hand-cuffed him and lodged him
in the west end lock-up. He was given
