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. As the
when the public weal is te be advanced

_‘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.

. 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,—

Dr. E.B. 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.

their satisfaction. Their interest in his
