ADDRESS
Delivered byvV. M. McFaddcn. County Super
ntendent of Public Instruction, before the
Teachers' Institute in this City. Nov. iith.
Lutlics and Qt>nUemen t and F<lt<>w-
Cititen»; Again we have assembled in
convention to discuss various Subjects
of mutual interest and prolit, pertain
ing to our profession. We can be
engaged In no subject of greater im
portance than the promotion of the
welfare of our common schools; they
Immediately underlie the characteris
tic features of our social system, and
all the fountains of that wide-spread
intelligence which, like a perennial
vitality, pervades the nation, and are
the nurseries of that inquiring spirit to
which we are indebted for the purity
and preservation of our free institu
tions. They remove bigotry, preju
dice, oppression and superstition, and
substitute liberality, freedom of
thought, freedom of expression, cour
age and loyalty. They elevate all who
improve the advantages offered by
them to a higher and nobler life.
In some things the schools of Los
Angeles county are in a very satisfac
tory condition. The only objection I
can urge is, tbat a large minority of
the children do not avail themselves
of tbe opportunities offered by attend
ing school, although Ihe last year's
statistics show a large increase over
former years. I t is a great consolation
(o me, who have been County Super
intendent of Schools for nearly four
years, to see the schools under my su
pervision in so nourishing and pros
perous a condition. As statistics are
usually dry and uninteresting, I will
present but a few, comparing the edu
cational condition of the county now,
with what it was four years ago.
When I took charge of the ofllce of
Superintendent of Schools, there were
1,424 census children between 5 and 15
years of age. No** there are (1,17.1.
Then there were 1,084 under 5 years;
BOW there are 2,475. Then there were
1,878 in public or private schools, or 40
per cent, of all between 5 and 15 years
of age; now there are 3,331, or 54 per
cent. Then there were 24 districts;
now there are 39. Then the valuation
of school property was 522,028; now it
is $83,780. Then the amount of sala
ries paid teachers was $13,647; now it
is $30,808. Then the average yearly
term was 6 months; now it Is 7. Then
tiie average monthly salary paid to
teachers was $74; now it is $84. Then
the average salary to lady teachers
was |66; now it is $78. Then the total
annual expenditure for all school pur
poses was $18,717 83; now it is $53,
--892 48. Then the annual receipts from
all sources for school purposes were
$33,022 09; now they are $07,420 13.
Then there were but eight teachers
who held diplomas, or first-grade cer
tificates; now there are 33 first-grades.
Then there were 14 second-grades; now
there 10. And then, as now, there
were six third-grades.
During the same time twenty four
new school buildings have been erected,
most of which are substantial and
elegant houses constructed upon im
proved plans, and nearly all furnished
with excellent patent bent-wood fur
niture.
Improvements have been made
to seven other school houses, and
contracts are let for the erection of four
more houses. Truly, there has been
progress made in the construction of
nouses, and I believe the intellectual
progress have kept pace with the
material. 1 held out every induce
ment to teachers of experience and re
cognized ability to come and "buckle
on their armor" and do battle with us,
and I congratulate Los Angeles coun
ty on having such a corps of teachers
in her public schools. During an ex
j>erlence of thirteen years as a teacher
* in different States and different coun
ties of this State, without flattery to
the teachers here, I can truly say, that
I have never seen a more dignified and
intelligent lot of teachers than those
of Los Angeles county, not merely
book worms but minds stored with
general information, enriched by
travel, and coming in contact with the
outside world, reading and observa
tion. All of whom are leaving their
impress upon the various schools.
I regret to say that only three
fourths"of all the* children between 5
and 15 years attend public and private
schools. Ignorance is the worst foe to
reform, intelligence is essential toma
ter'al growth, and virtue to moral
progress. Culture of the head and
culture ofthe heart are tne direct ave
nues to these two ends. Ignorance is
no doubt the cause of a great deal of
the want, misery, degradation, and
crime. Our prisons, in which we cage
the human wild beasts that prey upon
mankind, and our alms-houses, those
common sewers in which we float the
dregs of society down to the grave, are
full to overflowing. Houses are
licensed by law, or allowed by custom
in almost every town and village, to
minister to the depraved appetites of
the bad and to allure the unsuspecting
to destruction. Trade has its decep
tions. Hypocrisy sits with brazen
face in front pews. The love of money
displaces in men's bosoms, all sense of
honor, justice and honesty. Human
spiders lurk in every corner to lure in
to their toils, the innocent and suck
their blood. Public duty yields up its
life, to the hungry pack of private
interests, and Patriotism grows sick
at heart in being compelled to witness
the saeriftee. Corruption with a
f;iant's strength and a fiend's purpose,
s sapping the very foundations of free
institutions among us, and the goddess
of Liberty weeps continual tears in
view of the danger that threatens her
long-bought home of freedom.
We cannot expect much of political
parties which need reforming them
selves. Society may rot. If it does so
in the dark, unseen in the garret or
cellar the best laws are satisfied. The
Church calls men to repentance witli a
voice that is heard throughout the
world, but hearts that are hardened
heed it not. Tims men grow better
slowly, the present generation seems
Los Angeles Daily Herald.
to have advanced very little morally
beyond the point reached by the pre
ceding one, and there are those who
maintain that the civilization of
which we boast is iv many respects no
higher than that attained by certain
nations thousands of years ago.
The thought has occurred, whether
there is no more cgftifi way of reform
ing the world than those that have
enlisted tbe chief strength, talent and
zeal of philanthropists and Christians,
I pretend to no new discovery when
I declare that in no direction can a
reform be more productive of rich
fruits, than to secure the right educa
tion of the child. "One ounce of pre
vention" here, as in all other cases,
"is worth a pound or cure."
A child is as clay in the hands of
the potter, and can lie moulded at will
by parents and teacher. Bend the
twig and you will incline the tree. If
what has been said is true, or even
approximates the truth, it invests the
subject of the education of tbe young
with an importance that should at
tract to it the attention of all who
strive to improve the condition of so
ciety, and to make men better. The
best way to reform is to reform the
children; this is the weak side of the
enemies' works. Every blow struck
here tells. If all the children of the
county could be brought under good
influences, the battlements of error
and wrong would fall like the walls of
Jericho at the sound of the [smell 11st]
trumpets.
The patriotic? cry of our fathers in
revolutionary times was, "Millions
for instruction, that little may be
needed for poverty and crime."
It is the duty of the parent to feed,
clothe and educate his children. When
he neglects his duty, it is the right
and duty of the State to step between
the parent ami child, and perform the
neglected duties. The State furnishes
liberal provision forthe education of
her future citizens, that they may be
more happy and prosperous, and more
useful members of society; and if they
neglect or refuse to avail themselves of
the facilities afforded by the State, or
similar ones, the State by enactment
should compel them to do so. A word
upon the rules, regulations and course
of study adopted by the State Hoard of
Education:
Nothing can be more beneficial to
the schools than a uniform system of
grading; it enables the teacher to
bring up his classes, rank and file, in
the whole course of studies, and saves
him time and unnecessary labor; but
to comply strictly to the letter under
all circumstances, I do not believe in.
It often occurs that pupils advanced in
years enter school for a few months to
pursue one or two branches that they
are most deficient in, and that they
most need, it would be folly to re
quire them to comply strictly with the
rules for grading, besides it would do
them a positive injury. Common
sense iv this, as in everything else, is
necessary to form a correct judgment,
Labor is a necessary condition of
humanity, and he who has been
taught to labor with system and
method has learned a more valuable
lesson than the eleven propositions,
Book 4, of Legendre. Or a thorough
knowledge of quadratic equations,
and to form habits of study to
reduce odds and ends to system
and method is as much of a teacher's
work and duty as to teach the multi
plication table. The different condi
tions of the children should not be
taken into account. All are required
to labor; all should be taught industry.
Tbe poor work to get bread for their
appetites, the rich to get appetites for
their bread. According to natural
laws, all should acquire habits of in
dustry, and in no place can those habits
be better acquired than under an ac
tive, Industrious and energetic teacher.
Some teachers are too scientific and
reduce all subjects to a science, and
their methods of conducting recitations
to a science are so high that they can
not get down to the level of the child.
I believe that as a large majority of
the scholars in our public schools will
have to earn their bread by the sweat
of their brow, it is vastly more bene
ficial to teach them those things which
they will be called upon to practice
than to chase after shadows by com
mitting rules, definitions and explana
tions and neglect the substance. For
example many teachers teach the sci
ence of grammar and neglect it as an
art. Their pupils can recite rules, defi
nitions, conjugations, declensions,
analyze and parse till you would be
surprised at the vast amount of knowl
edge their small heads contained, yet
those same scholars can scarcely open
their mouths to speak or put pen on
paper to write a sentence unless they
violate some ol* the very rules that
they can so glibly recite. What is the
use knowing how to explain L. OS il.,
G. C. D. and why you invert the di
visor in division of fractions, and not
know how to perform the examples
under the different rules when they
occur in practice. 1 do not deprecate
science, but I deprecate the want of
art which should, in all eases, precede
science.
In a few month* I will retire from
tho office of .Superintendent of Schools.
I shall not, in all probabilities, meet
you officially in a body again. You
will pardon me if I allude to my acts
and work during my connection with
the schools. I am*well aware that
many things have been neglected or
might have been better performed; but
during my lirst term of office, ihe
salary which my predecessor receiv ed,
including traveling expenses, was
$740, but for my accommodation it was
iixed by legislative enaction at $400,
without traveling expenses or any
perquisites. I visited all the schools
in the county twice and was always
to be found on my regular office days
in my office. I traveled over 4,000
miles during my term, paying all of
my expenses, and at the end of my
first term I found I had done all of the
work for nothing and had paid $150 for
the privilege. I sought the office the
second time for a two-fold purpose.
First —For the selfish reason of making
an effort to get even by having my
salary raised; and second, that 1 had
inaugurated several reforms which I
wished to carry into operation.
The legislature dealt more liberally
with me during the present term, bul
still did not make the salary sufficient
to justify mo to give my whole time
to the duties of the office, and as 1 was
compelled to look in some other direc
tion for a partial support, I may have
neglect:d some of my official duties.
1 urged our legislators to make the
salary sufficient to justify the Super
intendent to give his whole time to
the duties of the office, and require

him to doit; the work is constantly
increasing, and if the Superintendent
lias to devote a part of his time to
other pursuits, there will be two things
neglected. If I have neglected any
duties it is not willful, but because of
tbe parsimony of those who make the
laws. I have traveled during my
term of office, attending to private and
public business in this county, 5,000
miles annually during tbe last four
years. I have found the office no sine
cure.
I expect to fall back at the expira
tion of my term of office into the
ranks as a private. I feel proud of my
profession, and believe that I can do as
much good in the capacity of a teacher
as any other; but, before I retire, per
mit me to offer you all my sincere and
heartfelt thanks for the uniform eour
tsey and kindness always extended to
me, and for your hearty co-operation
in all things pertaining to the ad
vancement of tlie cause of education.
I shall, in future, look back with
pleasure to my connection with the
schools of Los Angeles county, and
warmly cherish the ninny pleasant
associations with the teachers.
I hope that you will extend to my
successor the same courtesy ann good
fellowship, and give the same co-ope
ration to him that you have given to
me, harmony and strength being
the support Of all things, and particu
larly In advancing the educational in
terests of a new and spasrely settled
country. If the schools ate* kept up
properly the citizens will become more
intelligent, honest, moral and pat
riotic; and capital will become the
servant of science, art and literature.

TESTIMONIALS:
University of California, i
Department of Languages. r
Oakland. July il. 1872. j
Herewith I certify that Miss Josephine Dud
ley ,ias been a student In my department of
the University for Aye consecutive terms, viz:
from September, 1870, to April 3d, 1872. During
this time she studied the French, the Spanish
and the German languages, obtaining always
the highest marks for proficiency and attend
ance, her average creiiit mark for the terms
being 97 per cent.
On entering the University, Miss Lindley
possessed already such knowledge of the
French and Spanish Idioms as to lie able to
speak them with ease, fluency, correctness,
and a pure pronunciation.
She may now be considered thoroughly fa
miliar with the theory nnd philosophy, as well
as with the application of these two tongues:
aud she may safely be recommended as a can
didate of groat"promise, lor leaching the
French and Hpanlsh languages.
