Southern California.—It has been said by somebody that he who causes two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before in a public benefactor. So he who makes a tree to grow where none grew before, gladdening the way farmer with the fragrance of its blossoms and the richness of its fruit, performs an act not only of public benefice but of private good. I believe that the proposition that every farmer, and indeed every head of a family, so situated as to be able to do so, should possess a fruit orchard, more or less extensive, is so apparent as to admit of no controversy. There are few owners of land in this country but might, by the exercise of a little prudence and forethought, provide themselves with an amount of rich and wholesome fruit sufficient for their own consumption. There ought to be five times, yea fifty times, as much fruit consumed in this state as at present. What is now brought sparingly within the reach of the few, should be good planters. ing the endless "rules" to be observed in this peculiar department of physical comfort. None, I imagine, ever lived longer, or freer from the paroxysms of disease, by discarding the delicious fruits of the land in which he finds a home. On the contrary they are necessary to the preservation of health, and are therefore caused to make their appearance at the very time when the condition of the body, operated upon by deteriorating causes, not always understood, requires their grateful, renovating influence. As good fruit becomes more common and accessible to a greater number, those fevers and billious disorders so common to a new country where fruit is scarce, will become lessened, and health and happiness increased. I can imagine no branch of agriculture, domestic, or even political economy, more useful to mankind than that of raising good varieties of fruit. This kind of farming would tend wonderfully to elevate the human race above its swine-eating propensities. At pres Extra-Legal Qualified Teachers. Address delivered at the Exercises of the State School of California, March 28th 1872. I desire to offer some reason what may be called "Elegantifications of Teachers' Cations which the law does cannot prescribe—qualifies ter which no examining quires, and yet without highest scholarship and purpose cannot make a teacher. I am sure these instructors, among whom oared to stand, will applaud their very heart-throbs for that the complete outfit edge, and the most thorough ratory training, are not briportant as certain personal in the school-room. For what is the ultimate worthy object of all Compietess of life and is the answer we are all leave give with increasing clear emphasis. Surely this excellent result is not gag may even be bindered—by helping the papil to acquire hibit knowledge. The spirit accompanies and presides There are few owners of land in this country but might, by the exercise of a little prudence and forethought, provide themselves with an amount of rich and wholesome fruit sufficient for their own consumption. There ought to be five times, yea fifty times, as much fruit consumed in this state as at present. What is now brought sparingly within the reach of the few, should be used plentifully by the masses. Instead of appearing occasionally on the tables of the rich, it should form an important item of consumption with both rich and poor. To aid in bringing about so desirable a result is the aim of the writer, in the present article. I make the following points, as being eminently susceptible of demonstration: First;—The free use of fruit as a common article of food will greatly contribute to the health of the people: This fact is now generally conceded. Physicians and other writers agree that ripe fruits are among the most wholesome articles of diet, and that a much larger consumption of them, to the partial exclusion of the flesh of animals, would naturally improve the general health, as many quotations might be adduced to prove. Some of the most popular and clever physicians of our day give it as their experience that a free use of ripe fruits not only prevents disease, but their regulated enjoyment helps to remove that which already exists. All ripe fruits are more or less nutritious. I think it was Professor Salisbury who clearly demonstrated that the apple is superior to the potatoe in the principles that go to increase the muscles and the brain of man; and in fattening properties it is nearly equal, when cooked for swine or fed raw to other domestic animals. I believe most fully, from personal experience as well as observation, that an abundant use of fruits has a delightful and elevating influence upon the animal spirits, as well as upon the mind and soul; that the constant habit of employing fruits will disorders so common to a new country where fruit is scarce, will become lessened, and health and happiness increased. I can imagine no branch of agriculture, domestic, or even political economy, more useful to mankind than that of raising good varieties of fruit. This kind of farming would tend wonderfully to elevate the human race above its swine-eating propensities. At present a large portion of the apple crop of the world is perverted to hog feeding and cider making; neither animal nor liquor, when fed or made, being fit for food or drink. A little attention to pruning, budding, grafting and transplanting would enable our farmers and fruiterers to supply our markets, profitably to themselves, with an abundance of luscious fruit, indeed, that but little else than a piece of good bread would be needed to enable the veriest epicure to make a luxurious meal. FRUIT VS. DISEASE. In a recent conversation with an intelligent gentleman who has made long and extensive observations on climate and disease, I was assured that nothing has a more beneficial influence in preventing intermittents and the other effects of malaria than a moderate and regular use of wholesome, well ripened fruit. My own limited observations abundantly confirm this opinion. To say nothing of the untold discomforts and sufferings experienced by settlers which might thus be prevented or mitigated, our emigrants could carry no better medicine—chest with them than a box well packed with a well selected assortment of early-bearing fruit trees. Dwarf pears, for instance, often bear even the first year, and sometimes produce abundantly in the course of the first two or three seasons. I have known a peach tree to yield three pecks the third summer. The smaller kinds, such as strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries and currants afford a quick return of very wholesome fruit. A little attention and care of this kind, in connection with a moderate share of information and intelligence, would doubt- For what is the ultimate worthy object of all Compietness of life and is the answer we are all led give with increasing clear emphasis. Surely this excellent result is not gaudy may even be hindered—but helping the pupil to acquire his habit knowledge. The spirit accompanies and presides over process of schooling is a fold more important than processes themselves. Let us speak, then, with inadequacy, but not without conviction, of some of those cations which even a first tificate does not call for. More than all others ought their value in the future those who are now to do themselves to this sacred pledge. 1. Solid contents of personer—breadth, as well as depth—the weight which to wisdom and worth, and overcomes centrifugal tension and which, by pure force of motion, compels smaller bodies their true orbit about its respect and confidence cannot be won and held by sumption of false dignity sham seriousness of manner deportment there must be genuine personality. said a young man in Massa "up in our pulpit there is but a noise." Old Mrs. used to say that when Mr. entered the room, it always just as empty as before. For our growing children teacher always makes that somebody is there because cases out of ten, where teacher is it not because pupils meand see them as functionaries than as persons? How would sensible parents and officers prize the services who could not only drill the people in reading, grammar withthetic but who should be tent also to the higher religious guide, example and friend! In a large sense the teachers pies the place of a parent; sands of cases, to children who no adequate parental attitude care or guidance at home; this make school-work difficult? But it makes it same time doubly important necessary, doubly honorable. The teacher is in the enmire State—its officer and ag cles and the brain of man; and in fattening properties it is nearly equal, when cooked for swine or fed raw to other domestic animals. I believe most fully, from personal experience as well as observation, that an abundant use of fruits has a delightful and elevating influence upon the animal spirits, as well as upon the mind and soul; that the constant habit of employing fruits will cure many diseases, and have a most beneficial effect upon the individual and the race, and prove, next to air and water, the greatest of all preventive medicaments. As one has said before, we do not labor merely that the princely merchant and the lordly nabob should have his table loaded with choice "specimens" but that all persons month in and month out, should revel in the delicious and healthful luxuries till they become the cheapest of common necessities. Instead of any fear of a generous consumption of ripe fruits, I regard them as positively conducive to health. The very maladies commonly assumed to have their origin in the free use of apples, peaches, cherries, melons and wild berries have been quite as prevalent, if not equally destructive, in seasons of scarcity. There are so many erroneous notions entertained of the bad effects of fruit that it is quite time a counteracting impression should be advanced, having its foundation in common sense, and based on the common observation of the intelligent. One has no patience in read- the first year, and sometimes produce abundantly in the course of the first two or three seasons. I have known a peach tree to yield three pecks the third summer. The smaller kinds, such as strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries and currants afford a quick return of very wholesome fruit. A little attention and care of this kind, in connection with a moderate share of information and intelligence, would doubtless prevent many serious losses and avert a vast amount of positive suffering during the first few years of frontier life, when a sufficient degree of privation and inconvenience is often experienced, even with the blessing of uninterrupted health. The apple, for instance, contains a large amount of nutrient materials. It is used much more plentifully in Germany, France and other European countries than with us. The common laborers frequently make a meal of apples, with perhaps an addition of bread alone. It is stated that the operatives in Cornwall, England, regard apples as nearly as nutritious as bread, and more so than potatoes, and they have been known to assert that they could stand their work better on baked apples than with any other kind of diet, without meat. In our own country, those who make a free use of apples and other fruits, for food, are seldom troubled with dyspepsia, or any form of indigestion. N. T. Harris. The greatest curiosity in the world has been found out. It is a woman's. In a large sense the teachers place of a parent; sands of cases, to children who no adequate parental attention care or guidance at home; this make school-work difficult? But it makes it same time doubly important necessary, doubly honorable. The teacher is in the end the State—its officer and agent—a purpose too little concerned in the case of a Normal state comes forward to reinforce wise parent and to rescue the children of the unwise one. Children are born to be mere civil society—born to share privileges and to bear its burden may all accept the theory Draper, that "the State has in a child as well as its parents that it may insist on education versely, al o, that every child claim on the Government for instruction." The teacher, therefore, repeats the wisdom of the State, sees put itself in connection with mind of the child; represents stintive efforts of society to develop this new while at the same time he is pointed guardian and trusted child's rights to good instruction which is quite as natural and enable as its right to air and A great author says: "The functionaries of the State are nurse and the school master." Whether the law requires not, whether school committee after it or not, the public need the children's right is that teacher shall have enough knowledge to comprehend the work, and enough power and moral weights to Legal Qualifications of Teachers. Delivered at the Graduation Exercises of the State Normal School of California, San Jose, March 28th 1872. Desire to offer some remarks on it may be called "Extra-Legal Qualifications of Teachers"—qualifications which the law does not and not prescribe—qualifications affine which no examining board in India, and yet without which the best scholarship and purest moral pose cannot make a successful teacher. I am sure these veteran educators, among whom I am honoured to stand, will applaud me with every heart-throbs for declaring the complete outfit of knowledge and the most thorough preparation training, are not half so impertent as certain personal qualities in school-room. What is the ultimate and only object of all education? Perfectness of life and character, answer we are all learning to with increasing clearness and basis. Surely this supremely evident result is not gained—and even be hindered—by merely using the pupil to acquire and knowledge. The spirit which companies and presides over the pupil's character accordingly. This personal quality of the teacher would go far to furnish a solution of the most troublesome problems of modern education. Let us take this lesson from the School Reports of Prussia; The question there was—as it is here—How shall the children be taught morality in schools? Some said, "Let them have it by correction and discipline: when they do wrong, let them suffer." But it was found that punishments tend to harden, degrade and discourage. Then it was said, "Let them learn morality by precept; let them learn maxims and study books which inculcate virtue." But this alone wouldn't work; for moral sentiments do not dwell in the head. The children learned the good precepts, but failed to feel their force. Then it was said, "Let the teachers be selected from those who love children, and whom children love, and from those who by pure and cheerful influence can win young hearts to goodness." This worked better. The report says the only effectual method has been to keep the children in daily contact with consistent and noble-minded teachers. But let me come closer to the life of the school room. 2. Besides all qualifications required by law, the teacher needs Adaptability—for the work. For what is the ultimate and only object of all education? Appetness of life and character, the answer we are all learning to with increasing charness and basis. Surely this supremely potent result is not gained—and even be hindered—by merely being the pupil to acquire and explain knowledge. The spirit which companies and presides over the success of schooling is a thousand-more important than the proxies themselves. At us speak, then, with conscious equacy, but not without earnest attention, of some of those qualifications which even a first grade certificate does not call for, but which than all others ought to report value in the future career of who are now to consecrate themselves to this sacred profession. Solid contents of personal character, breadth, as well as length and depth—the weight which belongs wisdom and worth, and which comes centrifugal tendencies, which, by pure force of attract-compels smaller bodies to find true orbit about itself. The best and confidence of pupils must be won and held by any assertion of false dignity, or any seriousness of manner: behind treatment there must be a solid personality. "Brother, young man in Massachusetts, our pulpit there is nothing noise." Old Mrs. Harkness says that when Mr. Ingely led the room, it always seemed empty as before. Happy our growing children, if they ever make them feel somebody is there! In nine out of ten, where teachers fail, not because pupils meet them, but them as functionaries rather as persons? How highly sensible parents and schools prize the services of one should not only drill the young in reading, grammar and art but who should be competed also to the higher relations of example and friend! Large sense the teacher occupies the place of a parent; in thousands cases, to children who have adequate parental atmosphere, guidance at home Does take school-work doubly difficult? But it makes it at the same doubly important, doubly necessary, doubly honorable. Teacher is in the employ of state—its officer and agent for little considered be selected from those who love children, and whom childred love, and from those who by pure and cheerful influence can win young hearts to goodness" This worked better. The report says the only effectual method has been to keep the children in daily contact with consistent and noble-minded teachers. But let me come closer to the life of the school room. 2. Besides all qualifications required by law, the teacher needs Adaptability—aptness for the work—a flexible sense of the ever-changing situation—quickness of insight and outsight—something of Divine Providence incarnate, or that sort of local omniscience and omnipresence which comes of being alive and wide-awake all over and all through. Children are not alike; nor is it the teacher's business to make them alike, but to supply healthful conditions for the development of their differing natures. The law cannot take notice of this unlikeness; the teacher must. But alas! wisdom and folly have put their heads together and struck out a kind of average method which the teacher is expected to apply to all sorts of minds and all classes of temperaments. School work becomes mechanical, stiff, soulless—the surning of a crank which moves a machine for crushing all the young faculties into conformity. Little room is allowed for the play of those natural and vital forces in the pupil on which we should chiefly depend; but artificial methods, twice as difficult and not half so useful are substituted, till tormenter and victim are dragged to the point of exhaustion. Formalism is as fatal in education as in religion. It stifles nature with routine, and makes the relation of pupil and teacher a comedy or errors. Let me plead, therefore, that the teacher may have more freedom to adapt his methods to the varying need; that he may meet his young disciples where they are, as individuals, and help them forward and upward. Thus, also, will the diversity of gifts among teachers find fair opportunity, and turn to larger service. For every true teacher should be able to offer to the school something more and better than scholastic attainments. He should have a right to say: "I am come that you might have life, and that you might have it more abundantly," If any teacher has no life to give, the first and best thing is to seek it at headquarters; or failing to find it, give place to a live also to the higher relations of example and friend! large sense the teacher occupies the place of a parent; in thousands cases, to children who have equate parental atmosphere, guidance at home Does make school-work doubly difficult. But it makes it at the same doubly important, doubtlessary, doubly honorable. Teacher is in the employ of state—its officer and agent for those too little considered with this chosen agent—whom case of a Normal student the homes forward to reinforce the parent and to rescue the child in the unwise one. For, as you are born to be members of society—born to share its prides and to bear its burdens—we accept the theory of Dr. that "the State has rights and as well as its parents and may insist on education; conal o, that every child has a right in the Government for good education." Teacher, therefore, represents wisdom of the State, seeking to self-in connection with the child; represents the interests of society to nourish develop this new member; at the same time he is the app guardian and trustee of the rights to good instruction, quite as natural and unali- its right to air and food. Author says: "The highestaries of the State are the and the school master." Other the law requires it or neither school committees ask nor not, the public need and children's right is that every shall have enough breadth to comprehend the nature work, and enough personal and moral weights to mold and upward. Thus, also, will the diversity of gifts among teachers find fair opportunity, and turn to larger service. For every true teacher should be able to offer to the school something more and better than scholastic attainments. He should have a right to say: "I am come that you might have life, and that you might have it more abundantly," If any teacher has no life to give, the first and best thing is to seek it at headquarters; or failing to find it, give place to a live successor. 3. How should an examining board learn anything about a candidate's capacity for governing? Yet, if there is no government, there is no school. But self-government is the noblest form; and the best teacher is the one whose authority, while most real, is least apparent; whose presence and influence waken right sentiments; whose noble behavior inspires noble behavior. To establish and preserve order, and at the same time to make order hateful and hated, is the tyrant's kind of success. The arbitrary law of mere carnal authority which grimly says, "Here are the rules of the school; obey, or take the consequences," is doubtless as high up as some teachers are competent to come; but it is horibly degarding to ruler and ruled. There is a law of spiritual life which can make us free from this law of sin and death, of switches and cudgels. It is the supremacy of love, whose mild dominion, like that of the sun in heaven, calls forth every form of order and beauty, when storm, and tempest, and fire have spent their fury in vain. The first pre-requisite to a good government in the school room is an agreeable, wholesome and well-tempered moral climate, friendly to the growth of good-will and honor- Continued on Fourth Page.]
