WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...APRIL 5, 1879. AGENTS OF THE GAZETTE. The following gentlemen are appointed agents of the Gazette at the place designated. They are authorized to receive money in payment for subscriptions or advertisements: WESTMINSTER.....ROBERT STRONG GARDEN GROVE.....CON HOWE SANTA ANA.....DR. J. N. BURNETT ORANGE.....N. D. HARWOOD TUSTIN.....C. TUSTIN SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO....R. EGAN NORWALK.....J. R. CALDWELL SILVERADO....J. C. HILL TRAVELING AGENT....A. Y. PERDON THE NEW CONSTITUTION vs. THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Our comments on the educational article of the new Constitution published in the Gazette of the 12th inst., have been quite extensively copied by the press of the State. So far as we have observed, no attempt has been made to refute our argument, except by the Los Angeles Express, the editor of which was a member of the Constitutional Convention. In answer to our assertion that the enforcement of section sixth of the educational article, requiring that "the State school fund and the State school tax shall be applied exclusively to the support of primary and grammar schools," would exclude from our mixed schools all the advanced pupils now attending this issue, the editor of the Express says: The error into which our neighbor has fallen is in supposing that the term "grammar schools" would limit the curriculum of the public schools to the branches now taught in the lower departments. That term has an almost unlimited significance, and will enable the "rural" grammar schools to prepare their children for entrance to the State University, if they so desire.* Under this section the Legislature has ample authority to give a wide enough latitude of instruction to the children attending the grammar schools to enable them to perfect themselves for the State University. We are well aware the term "grammar schools" is not a very definite term. We know that a Legislature friendly to the public schools and anxious to ward off that have been in use in our schools for the past seven years. Under this local text book system there can be no uniformity, and the expense to parents will be doubled—yes, quadrupled. In States where this system is in vogue, text book publishers keep oily-tongued agents, at large salaries, to travel from county to county and by persuasion, by bribes, by unlimited promises, succeed in filling the schools with cheap and worthless text books. The members of the Revision Committee, in their agotistical address to the people of California, claim that they have taken the text-book question from the Legislature and placed it under the control of local authorities, and that the examination of teachers has been placed under the same control. They ought to have congratulated the people that corruption and bribery had been simplified and cheapened. Formerly, text book publishers were compelled to incur great risks and spend thousands of dollars in ineffectual attempts to bribe the State Board of Education to adopt certain text books. Under the local system they can buy up local boards at a very small expense and no risk; whereas a few incompetent teachers under the old system were compelled to pay Ewald and Moore $200 for examination questions. Under the local system certificates, ready-made, can be bought for four-bits each. This section is an insult to every competent and well educated teacher in the State, and any such teacher who will not labor for the rejection of the new Constitution ought to be kicked out of the profession with a seven-leagued boot. DAVIS G. CROLY's address before the Bulldon Club of New York on last Thursday is attracting a great deal of attention, because he is a man proverbially correct and careful in his statements. As the new York Tribune says, he has an alarming reputation for making pretty accurate predictions. In 1872 he published a remarkable article in which he said: "I predict that within the next two years the country will experience the worst financial panic known to its history. Land will temporarily fall to one-half its present value. Educational Progress Ana Valle BY J. M. GUEY No better criterion can bring the growth and development Ana valley during the past rapid increase of its school the improved character of In 1668, when attention towards Los Angeles county al region, there were but three in the southern part of the heim, Santa Ana and San district included an area miles.

That term has an almost unlimited significance, and will enable the "rural" grammar schools to prepare their children for entrance to the State University, if they so desire. Under this section the Legislature has ample authority to give a wide enough latitude of instruction to the children attending the grammar schools to enable them to perfect themselves for the State University. We are well aware the term "grammar schools" is not a very definite term. We know that a Legislature friendly to the public schools, and anxious to ward off the blows aimed at them by our Constitution makers, could give it an almost "unlimited educational significance." We are well aware, too, that a Legislature hostile to the public schools, and disguising that hostility under the plea of economy, could so limit the course of study in the schools, that it would only include the merest rudiments of education; and by this means drive out of them every advanced pupil. If, as the Express editor says, the grammar school course may be made to include all the studies between the primary and "entrance to the State University," and thus enable the "rural" grammar schools to prepare their children for entrance in that institution, can not the city grammar schools do the same? If this is done, will he tell us where the high schools are to come in? Will he tell us why the term "grammar schools" is used instead of common schools? If the curriculum of the grammar schools can be made to stretch over the high school course, we see no obstacle to prevent it from overlapping the University course. And so on ad infinitum. If an organic law is so ambiguously worded that its own authors cannot intreptit it; the best thing to be done with it is to consign it to Lethe, Hades, or some other bourne from whence it will never return to haunt us. If the Express editor will admit that this section (and many others) of the new Constitution is mere verbiage; if he will admit that he does not understand our public school system, we will desist from further exposing other fallacies in his criticism. Of the sections in the new Constitution imical to our educational interests, the worst of the lot is section seventh. That our readers may fully understand our comments on it, we produce it entire: Section 7. The local Boards of Education and the Boards of Supervisors and County Superintendents of the several counties which may not have County Boards of Education shall adopt a series of text books for the use of the common schools within their respective jurisdictions; the text books so adopted shall continue in use for not less than four years. They shall also have control of the examination of teachers and the granting of teachers certificates within their several jurisdictions. At one fell blow this section sweeps out of existence the State Board of Education, the State Board of Examination, uniformity of text books, and teaching as a profession. It might as well have gone one step farther and swept the public schools out of existence. It substitutes the odious and obsolete "local system" in place of our admirable State system. DAVIS G. CROLY's address before the Bulldon Club of New York on last Thursday is attracting a great deal of attention, because he is a man proverbially correct and careful in his statements. As the new York Tribune says, he has an alarming reputation for making pretty accurate predictions. In 1872 he published a remarkable article in which he said: "I predict that within the next two years the country will experience the worst financial panic known to its history. Land will temporarily fall to one-half its present value. This panic will be precipitated, in all probability, by the failure of the Northern Pacific Railroad, and, perhaps, of the banks who manage it." What Croly has already told, warrants special interest in his present predictions published a day or two ago. Among these are the following: "The present year will be a prosperous one for the country. There will be a general revival of industry. Labor will be employed and confidence in the future universally felt. Before the close of the year there will be widespread interest in the precious metal mining. A dangerous speculative feeling in other dustries will soon show itself. The hay crop on the Atlantic slope will be short. Before 1881 home prices will go higher and foreign goods be sold cheaper. We shall export less and import more. Unless the "unexpected" occurs, there will be a drain of gold abroad and then resumption, as at present established, must be legislated upon anew or it will fail. He predicts as the final outcome of financial difficulties, a national bank similar to that of Great Britain or France, a foreign war before many years growing out of the weakness of the navy and our rich unprotected seaboard, a pestilence in the North and air navigation. REV. JOHN HEMPHILL lectured in Calvary Church, San Francisco, on Sunday evening on the "Jonah's who Endanger the Ship of State." In the course of his lecture he said that the Jonah of political discontent had been imported into California. It originated in Russia among Socialists and subsequently appeared in France where it drenched the streets of Paris in human blood. In California these Socialists have framed the new Constitution, which makes taxation unequal and unjust and which, if adopted, will practically say to capitalists and property owners, "Stand and deliver." Continuing, the lecturer said: "Your lives, liberties and property are in danger from idle, whisky-loving, homeless and ignorant classes." As he said these words a man in the gallery exclaimed loudly, "You lie." The attention of all was directed to the disturber, but no attempt was made to eject or arrest him, and the lecturer continued his address without alluding to the interruption. A Wall from Wisconsin.

At one fell blow this section sweeps out of existence the State Board of Education, the State Board of Examination, uniformity of text books, and teaching as a profession. It might as well have gone one step further and swept the public schools out of existence. It substitutes the odious and obsolete "local system" in place of our admirable State system. It takes education out of the hands of trained educators, and puts it into the hands of ignoramuses. Under our present admirable system of examination, it is next to impossible for any except well educated and well qualified teachers to obtain certificates. Under the odious local system any sheepherder or ranch-hand who could raise five dollars might be able to buy a certificate. We have known Boards of Supervisors in this State from whom the best educated teacher in the United States, if he belonged to a certain political party, could not have obtained a certificate. It is not so very long since we had a Board of Supervisors in this county two members of which, native California, could neither speak nor understand the English language; a third member, a native American, was so illiterate that he could barely sign his own name, and was never known to utter agrammatical sentence in his life. Imagine an educated teacher going before such a Board to be examined! Teaching is as much a profession as law or medicine, and requires a better education to follow it than either of the two just named. Suppose a section had been introduced into the new Constitution requiring every lawyer and every doctor to go before Boards of Supervisors to be examined for a certificate to practice his profession. What an indignant protest would have come from these professions! Yet Boards of Supervisors are just as competent to examine lawyers and doctors as they are teachers. And they are just about as well qualified to examine applicants for entrance into these professions as they are to select and adopt a series of text books. We will venture the assertion, without fear of contradiction, that not one member out of every ten of all the members composing the different Boards of Supervisors throughout the State can name the series of text books property are in danger from idle, whisky-loving, homeless and ignorant classes." As he said these words a man in the gallery exclaimed loudly, "You lie." The attention of all was directed to the disturber, but no attempt was made to eject or arrest him, and the lecturer continued his address without alluding to the interruption. A Wall from Wisconsin, The following letter is from a resident of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, who has been a subscriber to the GAKETTE for many years. We hope he will find a purchaser for his mill, so that he can come and take up his abode with us. EDITOR GAZETTE.—Dear Sir: Enclosed you will please find $2, for which you will give me credit, and send me a package of wheat as large as you can by mail. Send the best kind in the State, and send 4 copies of the GAKETTE of March 8. Please send the wheat as soon as possible; write the name of the wheat on the package, for it will be time to sow it by the time it gets here. We are already beginning to thaw out and feel very much like the dog that was wagged by his tail. My wife says your paper just keeps me crazy with regard to your climate. She has spent six months traveling in Florida, and is equally as crazy over that winter resort; but a Northern man has no business there in summer. Judging from what I saw in California, a man can stay there the whole year and be happy. I wish you could find some man with whom I could trade a half interest in a good paying mill property at Stephen's Point, Wis., for property in your county. I would pay you well for it. Perhaps Olden might be induced to trade. We run every season, make shingles, etc., besides planning and matching, and other machinery. The property costs about $20,000, will sell for considerable less than that sum. SAN FRANCISCO, April 2.—A telegram from New York gives the information that the steamer Labrador arrived at that port from Havre with 200 Swiss emigrants, who propose settling in this State to engage in the cultivation of the grape. They are expected to arrive in this city in about ten days, and some are expected to settle at Colton, some at Riverside and others at San Bernardino and points in that neighborhood. Rome, March 29.—The final appeal of Passmanante, who attempted to shoot King Hambert, has just been rejected. The King signed a decree commuting his sentence to life imprisonment. Educational Progress in the Santa Ana Valley. BY J. M. GUINN. No better criterion can be found for judging the growth and development of the Santa Ana valley during the past decade than the rapid increase of its school population and the improved character of its school facilities. In 1868, when attention began to be directed towards Los Angeles county as an agricultural region, there were but three school districts in the southern part of the county, via: Anaheim, Santa Ana and San Juan. Anaheim district included an area of about 400 square miles. Santa Ana was somewhat larger and San Juan about the same size as Anaheim. These three districts included an area larger than the State of Rhode Island. The total number of school children in them did not at that time exceed 500. Anaheim had no school house; school was kept in the building of the Anaheim Water Company. The school furniture was of the most primitive kind. Benches without backs, and rickety tables made of rough boards, supplied the place of desks. The building was a low, dingy adobe, with but two windows; one looked out into dusty alley; the other, when open, opened into a shed where the zanjero stabled his horse. Out of regard for the comfort and quiet of the horse, this window had been boarded up,—a great convenience to the teacher; when the school became crowded the wide window could be utilized for seats. In this room I opened my first school in Anaheim. In the fall of 1869 Anaheim erected the first respectable school building in the southern portion of the county—a frame building, twenty-four by forty, and one story high. The Santa Ana school house was a rude board structure, one-half of which was used for a school house; the other, fitted up with a cooking stove and some rough furniture, served as a living room for the teacher. The jolly old pedagogue who ministered in this temple of Knowledge, divided his time between boosting ambitious youth up the hill of science and baking tortillas for his dinner. The school house in San Juan was no improvement on those of the adjoining districts. In the fall of 1869 Spring district was formed out of a portion of Santa Ana. In The Credit System. In Society some system for the transfer of values is a necessity. Articles of value cannot always be exchanged one for the other, hence the use of money, bills of exchange, and evidences of credit and debt. These evidences are, by legal enactments and the consent of society, constituted a lien on the property, labor and honor of the debtor. This is the credit system. To sustain this system we have a legion of public officials and legal advisors who are necessarily maintained at the expense of the industries of the people. Credit judiciously used is wise, because it contributes to human comfort and happiness, and is evidence of civilization. It is based on integrity and manhood, and there it should rest forever. The use of credit must not be confounded with its abuse, for here are all the dangers of the system. It is not the debtors alone who are responsible for the abuses that are so prominent in the credit system. Mutual responsibility forms the texture of Society. But the weight of misfortune attending the system falls heavily on the debtor class. Creditors are in many instances task-mastere, and debtors slaves. On the other hand many creditors are in distress from the lack of means justly their due. It is the natural result of the mutability of human judgment. Our flash times are past and the reaction is upon us. Mutnal forbearance will do much to standy society through this time of depression, and save honorable men from financial ruin. The lesson of the times is one of sad experience, from which we should gather wisdom. The credit system as practiced in California for the last ten years, is one of the most fruitful sources of financial trouble among its farmers, for merchants who sell goods on credit must add a percentage to cover losses on bills never paid. Those who pay their bills necessarily pay for the goods consumed by those who not pay. There is no other basis, for the credit system in successful merchantizing. As a result the system lacks the elements of honesty. All the failures in business enterprises undertaken by members of the Grange, can be traced to the credit system as the prime cause; while success everywhere attends the ready pay system.

BEANS—Lima, 4½@4½; pea, 3@3½; Butter, nia for the last ten years, is one of the most fruitful sources of financial trouble among its farmers, for merchants who sell goods on credit must add a percentage to cover losses on bills never paid. Those who pay their bills necessarily pay for the goods consumed by those who not pay. There is no other basis, for the credit system in successful merchanting. As a result the system lacks the elements of honesty. All the failures in business enterprises undertaken by members of the Grange, can be traced to the credit system as the prime cause; while success everywhere attends the ready pay system. It is one of the declarations of purposes of the National Grange "to discountenance the credit system, the mortgage system, and every other system, tending to prodigality and bankruptcy." The rates of interest prevailing in California are out of all proportion to the profits in general farming; and every consideration of self interest and justice to our families admonish us of the propriety of exerting all our powers to free ourselves from the thralldom of the system. Children have rights that the State should protect. Homes honorably acquired should not be subject to any subsequent debt or contract. Legal tornadoes should spend their force outside the sacred precincts of homes, and the State should see to it that children are reared to worthy citizenship. The credit system should begin and end outside of the homes of the people, and be compelled to rest on some other foundation than the helplessness of infancy. This proposition would work no injustice to capital. If it was understood that a specified sum could under no circumstances be reached to liquidate debt, credit would not be granted on that sum as security for the payment of debt, and much of that spirit of speculation that bring desolation to once happy homes and swells the list of suicides would pass away; for, with the loss of home, men lose heart; while the mere relic of former fortune inspires hope. A mortgage has been defined as a cancer on a farm. When it extends to the homestead it is the worst form of cancer, for it attacks the vitals of human happiness. There is a law that enables families to file a homestead, but there should be no contingencies possible to effect the security of a family in a home once honorably acquired. Such a provision in the organic law of the land would do more to stimulate the masses to honorable exertion than any other inducement that can be offered, and would tend to establish honor as the basis of reasonable credit. Sioux City, March 31.—The Journal has startling reports of the ravages of destructive prairie fires up the Big Sioux Valley and throughout Southern Dakota. The fires on Saturday were of unusual force, and destructive beyond precedent. Poles on the telegraph line on the Sioux City and Pembina railroad were burned, so the line has been down, and the reports from that quarter are not full. A merchant of Eden, who was in Sioux City to-day, tells harrowing tales of losses in that quarter on Saturday. From his store-door in that town, occupying an elevated position, he counted thirteen farm houses in flames, and he says that more than forty farmers in that vicinity lost everything in account of the unrivaled San Francisco Markets.

Washington, April 1st.—In the Oliver-Cameron case the jury to-day rendered a verdict for the defendant. The first vote stood three for the plaintiff and nine for the defendant.

An effort will be made to secure a new trial, and if refused, the case will be carried to the Court in bank, upon exceptions. The Senate to-day opened the door to general legislation, by passing a bill appropriating $200,000 for the construction of a steel ship by Professor Gamagea, which is to disinfect, with machinery placed in it, vessels coming to New Orleans from yellow fever ports. The process is to generate currents of air below a freezing point and freeze the germs of disease in infected vessels. Bourbon, March 28.—The woman suffrage measure was defeated in the House of Representatives to-day by a vote of 85 to 83. New York, April 1st.—A Herald London letter, dated March 19th, says: Miss Ada E. Hungerford, sister of Mrs. Mackey, wife of the California millionaire, was married at Rome on Saturday, March 15th, to Count Guiseppe Telfener, a widower, who was born as we are informed by the Roman correspondent of the Globe, at Toggia, in South Italy. He was originally a poor man, but by industry and skill he amassed an enormous fortune, and is considered a millionaire. Many distinguished persons were present at the wedding. On the afternoon of the wedding day the grounds of the former Villa Portensiani, now called Villa Ada, were thrown open to the public and to a number of guests who were invited to witness the races, run by eleven horses of the Telfener sted. The King honored the occasion with his presence.
