well appointed for thorough work. Equal facility Is afforded in the study of botany and zoology. each student having mi croscope for his own use. The new sci ence Of psychology has not been neg lected, for attention has been given to the collection and application of appar- atus, since in many instances mental growth can only be determined by these means This has an important bearing on the work of teaching. The senior class for year is brought in contact with pupils, ranging from the first grade to the eighth, and these student teachers are enabled to approach the child with a greater knowledge of his habits, his modes of thought. his inclinations and the general trend of his life.
 In order to extend the influence of the work of the school. and to be able to take the child in his younger years the trustees provided for Kindergarten de- rst RrFtinent ndHe m n september 1896 It was the normal school on the coast
 fully equipped Sloyd department Is one or the accessories of this school. Each class has this work on the weekly pro- gramme, and the requirements for atten- ton to it are as binding as any other; the influence of this work Is noticeable in knowledge 1t is profitable to be able to manipulate in the science laboratories: 1t but these alone would not make the rounded teacher. He must know some thing Of the esthetic side of life; the mere matter-of- fact training Four years ago there was not a picture a portrait in the building; now students study the portrait as well as the author; they can now form some idea of classic art by the study of the casts; they can look upon the Parthenon, splendid in it's ruins; they catch some inspiration of the splendor of Greek art by examining the plaster casts of Diana and Minerva. The draw ing department is rich in models, designs and engravingS. all of which stimulate desire to be In touch with the inspr- Ing power of art. A well selected li- brary. to which the pupils have access at all times for reference or investiga ton, is a close ally to help the student in his efforts.
 Seven years ago a large and we'll equipped gymnasium was built. syste- matic plan for work was carried out. and 1t is accepted by both students and par ents that the physical drill given regu- larly each week and in the most bene- ficial way to the students exerts a great influence upon their health.
 The aim of the school Is to send forth graduates who have been trained to think. and to know something of the great pulSating life outside the four walls of the Schoolroom: to see in the child great possibilities, and to study how to develop them to the best advantage to themselves and to the State; and lastly to hold as their chief purpose the making of men and women, worthy of the great aim of life, and an honor and blessing to humanity.

old Sierras. Tn the valley itself but few dwellings are seen these being the widely scattered cabins of the cattlemen, built of rough-hewn redwood logs.
 Dotted over the San Antonio are sturdy spreading oaks hung with mistletoe. and sheltering the struggling scrub growth which is the farmers bane. The hill- sides are veritable tangles of manzanita, deerbruSh and chemisal so thickly in- terwoven that horse once off the trail must break through a new path for him self. This wilderness invariably forms a safe retreat for the rabbits and the whirring quail frightened by the hunter. Up the canyons the feathery pines quiver above the mountain streams.
 In the midst of this rough country one comes with surprise upon the pretty little red and white building. which announces house. It Is built of dressed lumber. neatly painted. and it's interior is finished in natural wood. The light, airy room Is further adorned with appropriate pic lures, and on the walls may be seen the treasures of the woods gathered by the children-scarlet leaves. bits of moss. ferns and flowers and gayly colored feathers. In one corner of the room stands a neat library containing l40much- read volumes and maps, a large modern globe, improved blackhoards, etc, attest the keen interest of the mountain trus- tees. One great drawback is the absence of water from the school grounds, which must be daily brought from a well a quarter of a mile distant. This duty the CnlldTeu CneeTIuiiy perform, so that cool water. kept in demijohns encased in sev- eral thicknesSes of wet gunny-sacks, is never lacking, even on the days when the thermometer registers go degrees before 10 o'clock fin the morning.
 A sturdy. sweet-tempered, rosy-cheeked lot are these mountain youngsters, trudg- ing to and fro every day a distance of several miles. yet never complaining of the heat and dust or of such obstacles as that shown In the picture where an un- bridged creek had to be crossed after sudden freshet in the spring time.

Accommodations for the teacher can not be secured at less distance than ten miles, but she is provided with a horse, and thoroughly enjoys her daily ride in all kinds of weather, through waving grain fields, then beside a ripping creek, :, and finally through a long piney canyon still following the stream.
 Or, if she desire a longer ride through new scenes. there Is still time enough after school closes at o'clock. Some times she dashes off in mad pursuit of a band of cattle, tearing up and down hill at wild gait, leaping her horse over gaping gulches or rushing brooks, and pressing on and on until the stock are all corraled. Then she pauses to see the finale-the exciting but far from pleas ant process of branding after the animals
