ISUiill.l tittKH' Los Angeles is worthy of commen dation for the enterprise manifested in school matters. It gives a most conspicuous position to its principal school building, which is made highly pleasant and ornamental. It pays its* teachers well, thereby inducing them , to work faithfully. And it has se cured one of the very best educators in the State, a man of wide experience and undoubted success, to take charge of the schools; But, with all this, there is one thing lacking. In other cities of Its size and Sretensions the Superintendent of Pub c Schools has some time to devote to visiting the schools under his charge, white his place in the High School de partment is supplied by an assistant. Here the Superintendent is ex- Eucted to teach through the school ours of the day, and still have charge of the schools in general. Now the importance of frequent visits to the lower departments is manifest. How else is he to supervise the working of the schools, to make improvements, to become familiar with his work. The Superintendent, thoroughly under standing his duty and anxious to per form it well, decided upon a plan, by which, without neglecting his own schools, he could give attention to the others. It seemed to work satisfacto rily. Cert ai nly i t was pleasant for the* tired teachers and children to have his * 'cheerful helping presence occasionally. But it was too great an innovation upon the established order of things. Although the people held the greatest respect for the Superintendent, they could not quite trust him to act accord ing to his own judgment; and now he is almost entirely confined to one room. Although it relieves him of responsi bility and really lightens .his labors, the other schools are deprived of a very great benefit. We trust that all who have children In the schools, will consider this mat ter, candidly and earnestly, and decide upon some plan which will be an im provement upon the present incom plete arrangement. Neat Sidewalks. The teachers feel, deeply, the glori ous privilege of livimr in a town of sidowalks, this muddy weather. As we trip daintily along the street, neither soiling our boots, nor drab bling our skirts, we thank propitious fate that we do not have to call a hack, that will take us to the foot of the hill, and there unceremoniously dump us out, because the driver "can not drive through the mud," leaving us to climb up as best we can and charging SI for the pleasure. How ever'twould have been an easy mat ter to climb up the "graveled" hill the paper tells about, and we would not nave needed a lawyer to settle our claims to real estate, nor a doctor to restore breath to exhausted nature. Under the circumstances we don't groan in anguish at every fresh out burst from »the clouds. Once up the hill, Inside the school-room all was cheerful; a clean sanded floor, bright biasing fire—thanks to our in valuable janitors—bright, eager little faces looking out from the mud of lit tle soiled clothes, little commiserating exclamations, and willing, helping hands, all —all tend to remove the sense of injury one might have had, if it had not been for tho sidewalks. We were happy to have half a school and thought those little fellows no higher, than the mud is deep, will in after years turn out statesmen, war riors, etc., etc., if they are as ready to climb up difficulties then as they are now. t Cincinnatii—The Cincinnati Port, closes an article on the brutality taP the public schools, in the following words: It- would be a wonder if boys brought up under such a regime, did not, some of them, go to fill up the ranks of hoodlums that infest our city. But it matters little whether our schools produce good citizens or not, so their reports show average profi ciency of eighty-five or ninety per cent, in arithmetic, grammar, geo graphy, etc. In fact, the teachers nave no time, and no encouragement, if they had time, to cultivate in their pupils the virtues of truthfulness, honesty and sobriety. These things are not taken into account in forming an estimate of a teacher's success. Perhaps the teachers have been ex cused there, as they have been in Cali fornia, from the duty of teaching the principles of morality, truth, justice, andp«rl«|rsm. It is no longer obli- upon our teachers to teach their pupiklle2koid idleness, profanity* and falsehood. The powers that be have declared is not now the duty of the teachers of American children; as it formerly was, to Instruct them in the principles of a free government, and to , trafu. them to a true comprehension of thVrights, dutled and dignity of Aroer * Jfean aniens. J H U i AMERICAN HCHOOL SYSTEM IN Germany. — The National Normal has the following item: "We clip the following from the Pennsylvania School Journal. Let it be well used to puncture the German Swellings which effect the heads of so many of our teachers. In the Universal Teach* •r»s Association which met in Ham burg in May last, Dr. Lange, an emi itstot quman educator, advocated the adoption by the German Empire of a school system similar to that In the , United States of America, alleging that in its characteristic features, and the high results attained it Was supe rior to any other. Dr. Lange seems to differ from some American educators .who are continually pointing to the sV&m of ;terrtiny & +s model TJwrroMrrY of Tex* Books in Tf State Board adopted a uniform series of text beoks and made it obligatory on a teacher not to hear a single recitation in any other book, Los Angeles Daily Herald.

Compulsory Education. — Gov. Booth In his message says: The statis tics given show the attendance at the public and private schools, and the non-attendance and truancy of census children for a period of eight years. In 1873 there, were on the census roll 141, --610 children, of this number 12,507 at ten (led private schools, and 97,018 were enrolled in private schools; but only 71,170, or 50.26 per cent, of the whole attended regularly enough to be considered pupils. So large a propor tion do not attend any school as to give great weight to the argument of the Superintendent in favor of a com pulsory system. He also says: "I am of the opinion that the words 'white' and 'colored' should be stricken from our school law. They are a badge of the past. Every child born on our soil should have an equal Inheritance in the institutions of our common coun try, an equal right to a fair start in the race of life." HOME MANUFACTURERS. Our Own Manufacture!
