PEDAGOGIC STATISTICS.

Chairman NJ. z. Daley of the COM
mittee on textbooks filed list of books
decided upon for use in the State nor
NAL schools, which was adopted. The
committee ON legislation presented a
voluninous report of particular inter-
est. 1t recites in brief that there are
1852 students enrolled In the normal
schools and 552 graduates. The de-
mand for teachers in the State reaches
1900 annually, ieaving a deficiency of
more than 500 TO be met from immi-
grafton and examination. The report
says:
There are only lie teachers, accord
ing TO reports of County Superintend-
ents, now unemployed in the State; and
emitting San Francisco, of which no
estimate can be made, and Butte and
Tuolumne counties, not heard from,
thirty-two counties report no unem-
ployed teachers, seventeen report three
or less and eighty-six of the unem-
ployed are distributed in Alameda, Los
Clara counties.
Comparatively few of the young men
and women who graduate at the high
schools take the normal school course.
Particularly is this true of young men,
as during the last year only four in
the entire State entered the normal
school after having graduated at a
California high school.
"One reason for this is that the re-
muneration received by teachers is not
sufficient to induce the young men to
enfer that field Of actfyfrv
Professor Burke has collected data
upon the salaries Of 70S men out OF
the 7SS teaching in the State. Six hun
dred and three, or II per cent, of these
are receiving $1,000 or less per year.
Fifty-five per cent are receiving less
than $500.

LAST TIMES OF THE
CIRCUS IN THIS CITY
Norris & Rowe VIII Close Their En-
gagement ut Pavilion With To-
Nights Performance.

That San Francisco has again shown
itself to be splendid "show town" is
evidenced by the enormous crowds that
have been attracted to the Mechanics
Pavilion the last week to see the Nor
ris & Rowe circus. 1t is estimated
that 81, 900 people paid to see the shows,
which gave the best of satisfaction.
Norris & Rowe are California people.
They winter in San Jose and the money
they make here is all spent here. Dur
ing the last winter some $4,000 was
expended in improving the circus and
this money was ell expended in San
Jose and San Francisco. This season
I the energetic young managers deter
mined TO have a real circus, in addi
tion to their trained animal shows, and
that they succeeded is shown by the
excellent performances and the display
of wild animals made during the pres
ent engagement. Mechanics Pavilion
was transformed into Madison Square
| Garden and the scenes of the Barnum
/ & Bailey shows were duplicated here.
! Society turned out in force during the
week and there was a profusion of
smartly gowned women and dress
coated men to see the circus.
During the week Norris & Rowe had
as their guests the pupils of the va
rious charitable organizations, the deaf
and dumb classes of the public schools,
| the kindergartens and orphan asylums.
The little ones were delighted with the
many wonders of the big show and the
pleasure of the little ones and the circus
/ owners was mutual
! Next week will see the circus under
| the big tents again, as it exhibits in
Oakland and the surrounding towns
/ The Norris & Rowe shows will be
warmly welcomed upon their return in
