FOR PRESIDENT, GENERAL ULYSSES 8. GRANT Sater: A resolution was also passed declaring in favor of the “introduction of universal compulsory school instraction, as necessary to the public welfare and the Most effective security against the misuse of the right to vote.” Such sentiments may be in advance of the popular idea of education, but we believe they are right and we hope that at the , , Bextsession of the Legislature a law may be passed requiring every child in the State to be sent to some school, ~ pabli¢ or private for five months during the year. There are many chidren _ gtowing up in ignorance and vice in. hands of demagogues on account of their ignoranceand passions. The State has an interest in the future of ite people, and it is not only the duty of law makers to correct and guard against present dangers, but so legislate that future generations may be more intelthis State to become pliable tools in the ligent and better qualified to exercise the privileges and perform the duties of citizens than the present.

Few of the pupils. who. ‘Teave our best schools are qualified for _‘any/business and there isa wonderful Jack of ability on the part of pupils to &pply what they have learned in schools to ordinary business, With the revisal or correction of these defects in our quiring every child to be sent to some school a part, at least, of each year, every child in the State would be enabled to acquire a fair common school education. ee ee 4] . GThe Grass Valley Union has been misinformed relative to a paper read before the late Teachers’ Institute, and _ acting upon the misinformation has given its readers the best part of two columns of righmarole. The paper read by Mr. Waite was headed “Education in relation to Government,” and did not treat of teaching politics in the achools in the sense the Union takes No mention was made of any cation. The central idea of the article was that we must not falsify history.— We should inculcate forgiveness and maguanimity, but not forget in teaching history the brave deeds of those who recently died that the nation might ‘live. The paper was in opposition to the views recently ‘promulgated by Parson Fitagerald, who would have history taught in the schools just. as.it was, down to the opening of the late Rebellion, when he would put the remainder in parenthesis thus: (here occurred a little onpleasantness) and to the inquiry of the child what the on-Pleasantness was about, he would tell him not to seek to penetiate the veil,— ~The Grass Valley Shoemaker has made “8°! theatre, marching in to the soands of came . heartily in sympathy with the speaker tice, a Union meeting w held at ' theatre in this place, for the. purpose of ratifying the nominations of Grant afd, Colfax, anade by the late National Union . mater o Republican Conveptioli as our ¢andi-. one hu dates for the Presidency and Vite Pregidency of the United Statés: The meeting was gotten up also to organize, a Union €lubforthis precinct, __ At about half past 8 o'clock P.

Harris, of this place, being loudly called for, was introduced to the meeting. He spoke about one hour and a half, making one of the most admirable, solid and srgumentative speeches of any that I have listened to for years. During the speech the Dr. was frequently interrupted by applause whereby the audience demonstrated their satisfaction. Their interest in his speech never flagged.

D, Carr, who holds a life diploma from THlinois, and a first grade State certificate to ©. F. Boardman, ot Cherokee.
