OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. . Teaching the Young Idea How to Shoot. NEVADA'S EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, l The System. of Gradation—The Course of Study—The Requirements for Graduation—An Article of Interest to Old and Young. — TILESYSTEM OF GRADATION, In accordance with the general: plan é6f city public schools, the __.public ' schools of Nevada City are divided into two general classes—the Common School and the High School. The Common School course undertakes to give its members a thorough knowledge of the subjects most needed in the work of life; including reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, language or English grammar, history of theUnited States;-and=the elements of physiology, music and drawing. This course’ has two general diVisions Called the Primary Schools and the Grammar Schools. The work of the former is confined to elementary reading, geography, arithmetic, music, language exercises and drawing, while the Grammar Schools handle these subjects quite ‘thoroughly and the study of technical grammar, history of the’ United States and elementary physiology. The Primary and the Grammar Schools have four subdivisions each, forming a continuous series of eight subdivisions, beginning with the last year work-in the Gramthe first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades. eighth is generally done in. one year, but in this grade many pupils spend two years, making nine year’s work in the Common School course. The High School course has three grades, called Junior, Middle and Senior Classes with one year’s work in each. The object of this course is to give its students a careful review of the work of the Common School course and add the elements of algebra, geometry, rhetoric and natural science. Course of ‘study. We urge the “readers of the TranSCRIP’ to examine « sarefully the following statement of what our public schools aim to accomplish. In no other way can they, with so little trouble, become so well acquainted with this most important of our public institutions. THE EIGHTH GRADE, Children enter the eighth grade at the age of six years. The City Board of Education requires the following work-to be done in this grade: “In language, the first reader. “In mathematics, numbers from 1 to 10 by the Grube method. “Tn drawing,combinations of straight lines. “Tn writing, work on slates and on blackboard. “Tn music, simple songs and marching tunes.’’ The @ighth, grade has’ been «more definitely outlined by the principal of the schools, as follows: “This is a grade of oral and blackboard instruction and the teacher is expected to use the, blackboard and such” charts as are provided by the School Board, before taking up the reader. Pupils should be required— "1, To copy, in writing, extracts from their daily lessons. “2. To.copy sentences written upon the blackboard. se ‘3. To be able to distinguish a telling sentence from an asking sentence. “4, To begin every sentence with a capital letter. ‘ “5. To begin the name of a. person with a capital letter. “6. To place a period at the end of a telling sentence. “7, To spell, by sound and by letter, the words found in their lessons. “8. To write a plain,legible hand. “9. To learn memory gems, consisting of moral and practical maxims. 10. To write their own names, the name of the school, Nevada City, Nevada County, and California. “11. To place a question mark at the end of an asking sentence. 12. To make I a Capital letter when it stands for the writer or speaker. “13. To write a short sentence, composed of familiar words, from dictation. ‘14, To learn the. direction north; east, south, west, 15. To give the direction of an object in the room-or to be seen from the school room. ‘16, To know the name of the city, county, state and country in which they live. 17, To count and write numbers to 100, and to read Roman numerals to XXX.”’ The methods used by the teacher are very different from those of twenty yearsago, From the beginning.the child learns the word before he learns the letters of which it is composed. He learns phonic spelling by pronouncing the words more and more slowly until the sounds are entirely separate and distinct. The teacher . illustrates this.by:cwriting the word upon the blackboard several times, separating them more and more each time until they are far apart. Then the names of the letters are given ; but it often happens that children can read quite well before they learn the letters ‘in alphabetical order, The children use a slate and ndisetl and begin to learn, to writesthe day they enter school. They are not taught.to print,but use written characters from the start. Any person doubting the propriety of this method mar Schools, and called respectively . The work of each grade except the . should visit Miss Mattie Bradley’s room. -A few hours spent with the ‘Baby Class” will convince any one ofthe great value of modern methods in primary instruction. Numbers ‘from 1 to 10’ seem very little arithmetic to those who never tried to see how many. combinations can be made with a few figures. Grube, the author of the method adopted by our School Board, says: “The teacher may be well satisfied. if at the end of the first term the pupils can perform promptly and accurately all the operations whose results do not exceed 10.”’ The eighth grade is divided into two classes—A and B; The A class includes those most likely to. be promoted. To this class promotions are made at different times during the year. B class contains the-beginners. Into this class entries are made in every month of the school year. Eighth grade pupils attend but half of the day—the B class coming in the forenoon and the A class in the afternoon. \ ; The eighth grade of our schools contains 130-pupils, Miss Mattie Bradley having charge. of most of them and Mrs. Lucy White the. rest. Mrs. the sixth and séventh grades. The excellent discipline and’ progress of these little children is a compliment as well as to, the judgment, patience and perseverance of Miss Bradley and Mrs. ‘White, as to the Normal School training of the one and the great. experience of the other. SEVENTH GRADE. The work of this: grade as defined by the City Board of Education, includes— ; “In language, the second reader, and the word primer to page 22. “In mathematics, review of — the eighth-grade-work, measurements and numbers from 10 to\20 by the, Grube system, “Tn writing, blackboard work and copy-books No. 1 and No. 2 of the Shorter Course. “In drawing, work on the slate and blackboard and book No. 1. “In music, simple songs.’’ As. outlined by the principal, work requires the pupils— “1.

Assemblyman Campbell of Siskiyou Recalls an Incident of Pioneer Life in Nevada City. “This seems like home,’’ So said Assemblyman Campbell of Siskiyou county while in town me other day. “Yes, being here takes me back to the good old days,” he added in ameditative tone, And he sent ceilingward another cloud of smoke from his half-burned cigar. “Been here betsls, eh?” asked the Transcript reporter taking a sudden interest in the visitor, 5 “T should rather say I had,’ remarked Mr. Campbell. ‘‘Leastwise, I lived with my parents out on Selby Flat for nine years or so, It seems but yesterday. I'll never forget the day I struck the vamp. “Tt was. in the fall of fifty-three. We Had just pulled_in with our oxteam from a trip across the plains. “T washed off some of the dirt that had accumulated-during-our--travels; and started out to see the town, I saw a big-crowd down on Main street in front‘of Phelps’ Hotel. One man had a revolver pointed at another -and was cowhiding him. Gracious, but how they both were ripping out oaths. They had quite a scrimmage. The man that had been the object. of the attentions of the one with the pistol and cowhide took out a pen-knife-and said he would fight his assailant with that if the latter would give him a decent chance. Then they adjourned to meet again at nite +o’ clock the next morning. “The party with the pistol was Bill Mason who had that day been defeated as the Democratic candidate for the Assembly. The other was H. C. Gardiner, who — had. electioneered against him, and to whom he attributed his defeat. “Next morning Gardiner borrowed arevolver at the express office, down on the Plaza, and came outside to wait for developments. Mason and R. A. Davidge, postmaster and editor of the Young America, just after that came out of the postoftice, next door to “the express office, -and went up Broad street to the Young America office where the National Hotel now is. Gardiner followed them up and inquired in the printing offike where Mason was. The latter and his friend had dodged out the back door, So Gardiner went out and stood in the street. Mason slipped around through an alleyway and suddenly opened fire on Gardiner, hitting the latter’ in the calf of the-leg. Mason would jump out and shoot, then spring back into the alley out of sight. Gardiner put one bullet into his leg, just about where Mason had shot him. One of Mason’s bullet killed a stray -pig. When their pistols were empty, they went away to dress.their wounds. “Those were good old times,’’ said Mr. Campbell. ‘‘‘Let’s take something in memory of them.’’ And the crowd took something. i Seca Lis ARE aie A Good Opportunity .

He Must Have the Firmest, Soundest Norve~What the Trouble Is. In‘ the first place, to be a good shorthand writer (and a second rate one is not worth the room hé takes) requires the firmest, soundest nerve. No business that can be named takes so much out of one as shorthand reporting. Hearing, oyesight, hand and brain are called-upon_for their highest work and the most intense attention. Sandy haired boys of sanguine temperament ‘or pale lipped dark .ones should choose outdoor work and let reporting in every case alone, except for amusement. Hundreds of sueh young men are cerried to their graves every the city who might be hale, long lived men if they had not mistaken their vocaLean, wiry men and women are best for desk work, and stand the drain of indoor life with least loss, The young men and women who have a secret desire for easy positions should let shorthand alone, The shorthand writer, like the typical newspaper man, wants to have the widest intelligence ible—to know something about everyt nt: at least enough to know what is talked about. For not only merchants and lawyers, but physicians, edir tors and literary men, to say nothing of politicians, are coming to find the services of a shorthand writer of great use in their rofessions. And to be of use, ho must a man who takes things at a word, who knows a geographical name or a character in history or fiction when he hears it, without stopping to ask what that word was and bothering to have it spelled—a process which goes far to drive the principal dictating out of his senses. 16 secretary needs such keen and close attention as to catch the direction and the exact words without having to utter that ye i ‘What?’ every ten minutes or oftener, breaking the thread of thought and wasting time when his express business.is to make the most of it for an overhi hted principal whose moments are ous, Then, as corresponding clerk 0 secretary, he must have the forms of business address at command, so that he can put curt directions into courteous and well turned phrase. An order worth thousands may be lost the house by too stiff a tone, the offensive independence of 8 phrase, or one which has something over polite and solicitous about it. “I want a man.”’ said a Boston merchant asking for a anti she. sal “who can take my idea in three Words and put it into shape in a letter, neatly written, spaced and directed. If I can get sucha rr he’s sure of a good place ds long as going.’’ But the clever head of a reference office he applied to could only shake his head and gay, ‘‘If we had twenty such men they would all find places to-morrow and as many the day after.’’ A keen business man of wide experience in many kinds of work: says: ‘The trouble with three-fourths of the young _ and girls who learn shorthand an typewriting is they don’t know anything. hey expect to get, along by knowing their one branch and nothing else, and it is no use. You get a clever gi ata typewriter—one who can rattle off eighty words of the Declaration of Independence a minute, or Longfellow’s Psalm of~ Life or anything she knows by heart—and sit her down to write a business letter from dictation, and she has to stop and turn her machine up every three [ines to sec if she has spelled a word right, It puts one out, and makes the mail late. Or she lets it go with a blunder that would disgrace an infant scholar, and there isn’t time to write it over. Sometimes the whole batch of a morning has to be done over. If I happen to sa Buenos Ayres she is dumbfounded, don't know what heathen I’m naming, and I must write it out before she knows what is meant; and Chattahoochee would floor her forever, “That's my business. Now, if I’m dictating on time for my paper—not a minute to spare, and it isn't the least Matter how it looks, and the proof reader minds the spelling, ten to one she'll have her eraser out every other line to correct some fancied blémish, and you can't get it into her head or her either, that all you want is to drive ahead and get that manuscript jerked upto the printer's in fifteen seconds. That's what I call want of intelligence, And out of 200 young men and women we tried to fit for type writer secretaries, there were not five I should call good ones, who could be trusted to write a letter without some shabby blunder in spelling or phrase.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. . Teaching the Young Idea How to Shoot. NEVADA'S EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, l The System. of Gradation—The Course of Study—The Requirements for Graduation—An Article of Interest to Old and Young. — TILESYSTEM OF GRADATION, In accordance with the general: plan é6f city public schools, the __.public ' schools of Nevada City are divided into two general classes—the Common School and the High School. The Common School course undertakes to give its members a thorough knowledge of the subjects most needed in the work of life; including reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, language or English grammar, history of theUnited States;-and=the elements of physiology, music and drawing. This course’ has two general diVisions Called the Primary Schools and the Grammar Schools. The work of the former is confined to elementary reading, geography, arithmetic, music, language exercises and drawing, while the Grammar Schools handle these subjects quite ‘thoroughly and the study of technical grammar, history of the’ United States and elementary physiology. The Primary and the Grammar Schools have four subdivisions each, forming a continuous series of eight subdivisions, beginning with the last year work-in the Gramthe first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades. eighth is generally done in. one year, but in this grade many pupils spend two years, making nine year’s work in the Common School course. The High School course has three grades, called Junior, Middle and Senior Classes with one year’s work in each. The object of this course is to give its students a careful review of the work of the Common School course and add the elements of algebra, geometry, rhetoric and natural science. Course of ‘study. We urge the “readers of the TranSCRIP’ to examine « sarefully the following statement of what our public schools aim to accomplish. In no other way can they, with so little trouble, become so well acquainted with this most important of our public institutions. THE EIGHTH GRADE, Children enter the eighth grade at the age of six years. The City Board of Education requires the following work-to be done in this grade: “In language, the first reader. “In mathematics, numbers from 1 to 10 by the Grube method. “Tn drawing,combinations of straight lines. “Tn writing, work on slates and on blackboard. “Tn music, simple songs and marching tunes.’’ The @ighth, grade has’ been «more definitely outlined by the principal of the schools, as follows: “This is a grade of oral and blackboard instruction and the teacher is expected to use the, blackboard and such” charts as are provided by the School Board, before taking up the reader. Pupils should be required— "1, To copy, in writing, extracts from their daily lessons. “2. To.copy sentences written upon the blackboard. se ‘3. To be able to distinguish a telling sentence from an asking sentence. “4, To begin every sentence with a capital letter. ‘ “5. To begin the name of a. person with a capital letter. “6. To place a period at the end of a telling sentence. “7, To spell, by sound and by letter, the words found in their lessons. “8. To write a plain,legible hand. “9. To learn memory gems, consisting of moral and practical maxims. 10. To write their own names, the name of the school, Nevada City, Nevada County, and California. “11. To place a question mark at the end of an asking sentence. 12. To make I a Capital letter when it stands for the writer or speaker. “13. To write a short sentence, composed of familiar words, from dictation. ‘14, To learn the. direction north; east, south, west, 15. To give the direction of an object in the room-or to be seen from the school room. ‘16, To know the name of the city, county, state and country in which they live. 17, To count and write numbers to 100, and to read Roman numerals to XXX.”’ The methods used by the teacher are very different from those of twenty yearsago, From the beginning.the child learns the word before he learns the letters of which it is composed. He learns phonic spelling by pronouncing the words more and more slowly until the sounds are entirely separate and distinct. The teacher . illustrates this.by:cwriting the word upon the blackboard several times, separating them more and more each time until they are far apart. Then the names of the letters are given ; but it often happens that children can read quite well before they learn the letters ‘in alphabetical order, The children use a slate and ndisetl and begin to learn, to writesthe day they enter school. They are not taught.to print,but use written characters from the start. Any person doubting the propriety of this method mar Schools, and called respectively . The work of each grade except the . should visit Miss Mattie Bradley’s room. -A few hours spent with the ‘Baby Class” will convince any one ofthe great value of modern methods in primary instruction. Numbers ‘from 1 to 10’ seem very little arithmetic to those who never tried to see how many. combinations can be made with a few figures. Grube, the author of the method adopted by our School Board, says: “The teacher may be well satisfied. if at the end of the first term the pupils can perform promptly and accurately all the operations whose results do not exceed 10.”’ The eighth grade is divided into two classes—A and B; The A class includes those most likely to. be promoted. To this class promotions are made at different times during the year. B class contains the-beginners. Into this class entries are made in every month of the school year. Eighth grade pupils attend but half of the day—the B class coming in the forenoon and the A class in the afternoon. \ ; The eighth grade of our schools contains 130-pupils, Miss Mattie Bradley having charge. of most of them and Mrs. Lucy White the. rest. Mrs. the sixth and séventh grades. The excellent discipline and’ progress of these little children is a compliment as well as to, the judgment, patience and perseverance of Miss Bradley and Mrs. ‘White, as to the Normal School training of the one and the great. experience of the other. SEVENTH GRADE. The work of this: grade as defined by the City Board of Education, includes— ; “In language, the second reader, and the word primer to page 22. “In mathematics, review of — the eighth-grade-work, measurements and numbers from 10 to\20 by the, Grube system, “Tn writing, blackboard work and copy-books No. 1 and No. 2 of the Shorter Course. “In drawing, work on the slate and blackboard and book No. 1. “In music, simple songs.’’ As. outlined by the principal, work requires the pupils— “1.

I'll never forget the day I struck the vamp. “Tt was. in the fall of fifty-three. We Had just pulled_in with our oxteam from a trip across the plains. “T washed off some of the dirt that had accumulated-during-our--travels; and started out to see the town, I saw a big-crowd down on Main street in front‘of Phelps’ Hotel. One man had a revolver pointed at another -and was cowhiding him. Gracious, but how they both were ripping out oaths. They had quite a scrimmage. The man that had been the object. of the attentions of the one with the pistol and cowhide took out a pen-knife-and said he would fight his assailant with that if the latter would give him a decent chance. Then they adjourned to meet again at nite +o’ clock the next morning. “The party with the pistol was Bill Mason who had that day been defeated as the Democratic candidate for the Assembly. The other was H. C. Gardiner, who — had. electioneered against him, and to whom he attributed his defeat. “Next morning Gardiner borrowed arevolver at the express office, down on the Plaza, and came outside to wait for developments. Mason and R. A. Davidge, postmaster and editor of the Young America, just after that came out of the postoftice, next door to “the express office, -and went up Broad street to the Young America office where the National Hotel now is. Gardiner followed them up and inquired in the printing offike where Mason was. The latter and his friend had dodged out the back door, So Gardiner went out and stood in the street. Mason slipped around through an alleyway and suddenly opened fire on Gardiner, hitting the latter’ in the calf of the-leg. Mason would jump out and shoot, then spring back into the alley out of sight. Gardiner put one bullet into his leg, just about where Mason had shot him. One of Mason’s bullet killed a stray -pig. When their pistols were empty, they went away to dress.their wounds. “Those were good old times,’’ said Mr. Campbell. ‘‘‘Let’s take something in memory of them.’’ And the crowd took something. i Seca Lis ARE aie A Good Opportunity .

He Must Have the Firmest, Soundest Norve~What the Trouble Is. In‘ the first place, to be a good shorthand writer (and a second rate one is not worth the room hé takes) requires the firmest, soundest nerve. No business that can be named takes so much out of one as shorthand reporting. Hearing, oyesight, hand and brain are called-upon_for their highest work and the most intense attention. Sandy haired boys of sanguine temperament ‘or pale lipped dark .ones should choose outdoor work and let reporting in every case alone, except for amusement. Hundreds of sueh young men are cerried to their graves every the city who might be hale, long lived men if they had not mistaken their vocaLean, wiry men and women are best for desk work, and stand the drain of indoor life with least loss, The young men and women who have a secret desire for easy positions should let shorthand alone, The shorthand writer, like the typical newspaper man, wants to have the widest intelligence ible—to know something about everyt nt: at least enough to know what is talked about. For not only merchants and lawyers, but physicians, edir tors and literary men, to say nothing of politicians, are coming to find the services of a shorthand writer of great use in their rofessions. And to be of use, ho must a man who takes things at a word, who knows a geographical name or a character in history or fiction when he hears it, without stopping to ask what that word was and bothering to have it spelled—a process which goes far to drive the principal dictating out of his senses. 16 secretary needs such keen and close attention as to catch the direction and the exact words without having to utter that ye i ‘What?’ every ten minutes or oftener, breaking the thread of thought and wasting time when his express business.is to make the most of it for an overhi hted principal whose moments are ous, Then, as corresponding clerk 0 secretary, he must have the forms of business address at command, so that he can put curt directions into courteous and well turned phrase. An order worth thousands may be lost the house by too stiff a tone, the offensive independence of 8 phrase, or one which has something over polite and solicitous about it. “I want a man.”’ said a Boston merchant asking for a anti she. sal “who can take my idea in three Words and put it into shape in a letter, neatly written, spaced and directed. If I can get sucha rr he’s sure of a good place ds long as going.’’ But the clever head of a reference office he applied to could only shake his head and gay, ‘‘If we had twenty such men they would all find places to-morrow and as many the day after.’’ A keen business man of wide experience in many kinds of work: says: ‘The trouble with three-fourths of the young _ and girls who learn shorthand an typewriting is they don’t know anything. hey expect to get, along by knowing their one branch and nothing else, and it is no use. You get a clever gi ata typewriter—one who can rattle off eighty words of the Declaration of Independence a minute, or Longfellow’s Psalm of~ Life or anything she knows by heart—and sit her down to write a business letter from dictation, and she has to stop and turn her machine up every three [ines to sec if she has spelled a word right, It puts one out, and makes the mail late. Or she lets it go with a blunder that would disgrace an infant scholar, and there isn’t time to write it over. Sometimes the whole batch of a morning has to be done over. If I happen to sa Buenos Ayres she is dumbfounded, don't know what heathen I’m naming, and I must write it out before she knows what is meant; and Chattahoochee would floor her forever, “That's my business. Now, if I’m dictating on time for my paper—not a minute to spare, and it isn't the least Matter how it looks, and the proof reader minds the spelling, ten to one she'll have her eraser out every other line to correct some fancied blémish, and you can't get it into her head or her either, that all you want is to drive ahead and get that manuscript jerked upto the printer's in fifteen seconds. That's what I call want of intelligence, And out of 200 young men and women we tried to fit for type writer secretaries, there were not five I should call good ones, who could be trusted to write a letter without some shabby blunder in spelling or phrase.
