SWISS PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Are Considered by the People Good
Enough for Rich and Poor
Alike.

One reason why the Swiss fare well
is that their public school system Is
probably the best in the world, and
VITA them public school education is
practically compulsory, says Every
body's Magazine. You can send your
child 10 private school Gin some can
tons) If you insist upon so doing, but
the face Of the government and the
force Of public opinion are sternly
against the practice. In the canton
OF Solothurn private schools are abso-
lutely forbidden. In other cantons a
private school pupil must secure a for
NAL permit from the local authorities,
and In some cantons he must pay a
charge 10 the public funds. The idea
is that the public schools are good
enough for all. that rich and poor are
20 meet there on even terms, that the
public school is the nursery Of democ-
racy and patriotism; above all, that
democracy is the life blood and
strength and very soul OF the republic,
and the republic is Switzerland, and
without the republic Switzerland Is
nothing. Private schools for Swiss
children are few in number, and such
as exist are under the strict supervfs-
Ton Of the state. Education is a serious
matter In Switzerland; there is no es-
cape from II. A parent must send his
children TO school OF go himself to
jail. They kept Seventh Day Adj
ventist in jail for two years because he
refused to let his child attend school
on Saturdays. AS It then seemed like
ly he would spend the rest of his life
IN cell, he surrendered.

2 About once a month the Appeal re-
ceives a well illustrated and clerver!y

sets them forth in such pleasing man.
ner that it is bound to attract the
attention of people at distance. The
best educators in the State contribute
and every section comes in for the
just claims of the writer's. Agricul-
ture, Forestry, Road Work and other
interesting articles have been PUB.
lished and scattered broadcast. The
effort pays and repays the originators
of the excellent scheme.
In the foregoing there is fruit for the
Nevada people. The same advantages
that California offers the outside
world can be found inside our borders,
but the people do not pull in unison,
and the little fights between towas
help to keep the people away. 81,
Californians, on the other hand, give
every section the use of their pub i
cation and the readers can choose be-
tween the advantages.
= The Chamber of Commerce of Reno
promised such scheme for Nevada
but from the lack of cash subscription
on the citizens a. large the plans
of the citizens at large the plans
failed and the organization has fallen
into the hands of courts, which prac-
tically puts it out of commission. Each
city that contributed to the support
of the Reno concern felt that it was
booming Reno to its own disadvantage
and with this spirit abroad there was
nothing but failure in sight.
Nevada is all right but it adopts
the wrong measures for publicity. Il
the plans of the California organiza
ton could be adopted and used As
they use them the boom would come
to every quarter of the State and home
makers would head this way. The
object lesson of the California Pro
motion Committee is to boost Califor
MIA, not for any one city but the whole
State. Get the people under cover
and no matter where they settle they
are in California and that is wher'
they want them. 1t is up to Nevad,

and coal could be had in San Fran

the road the railroad company would
make an emergency rate and lay the
fuel down here as cheaply and as soon

THE EARTH QUAkED
The Visitor Came Along Too Early to
be Appreciated.

According to Charley Friends seis-
mograph recorder, this city was visit
ed by a tremblor at 2:O5 yesterday
morning, but as most of the people
were in the happy land of slumber,
few appreciated the efforts of Mother
Nature to awaken Carson from her
slumber.
AS there was an exceedingly high
wind and plenty of storm in the air
it is little wonder that few people felt
the shock, as many of the homes were
receiving a severe shaking up from
the wind and storm. The quake trav-
eled from northeast to southwest and
was of ten seconds duration. and the
few who felt the shock claim it was
of considerable violence.
The one quake that is well remem-
bered in this city happened in 1899
and was so severe that dishes were
ratified down, people thrown from Their
beds and considerable damage done
to stone buildings. Since that time
there has been a number of slight
shakes but nothing of the violence of
the big shake. Even the hot springs
were churned up and for time it was
feared that the waters at Shaw's
Springs were lost, as it required dig
ging and blasting to open the crevicl
and let the steaming waters out. Nc
one really enjoys the commissions OF
nature and the further apart the visits
! the better for all hands concerned.
