an early day miner who lived In this
hut while operating In the mines In
the hills east of Chico. leaving In the
early SOS with nearly $780, 900 In
gold, which took six weeks to weigh
and required . pack train and strong
guard to transport out OF the country.
The stranger was seen lettering

next morning Fawcett found where

The principal changes have been in
The grammar and arithmetic work,
which has generally been made lighter
for the grade students. Such features
as cube root, and foreign exchange
have been cut out entirely from the
grade work, and put into high school
work. Other features have been
moved up a grade to allow the lower
grades to get along with less of the
heavier work. The United States his
tory work, as a separate study has
been cut out of the lower grades, his
