Muny and many a man wh) has had evéry educational advantage, oan —testify that he, when first thrown out upon , the world, with all’ his knowledge, ‘was as a ship without rudder or compass. This defect, ib ‘our own schools has received a great deal of ' attention, and it has only been toa limited extent remedied. . But there ig still room for improvement, _The system of cramming should be stop. ped. With many’ of the teachers, as well as parents, the object appears to be not how much a child can maater, but how many booka it shall ‘finish. The systemwn of instruction should be thorough above all things. The rule should be short lessons and few studies, Many of the pupils are loaded down with books which they have no desire to understand, and little ambition exeept to get through them, The teacher should encourage among pupiis-« free discussion of the topics of each lesson, and in this way itcould be readily ascertained how well the branches are trnderstood, Besides, the comparison and aggregation of facts thus obtained willenlarge the views and aid the attainment of them andcthe comprehension of principles by the class, These matters should receive close study ut the hands of trustees and teachers, and the result, we are con» fident, will be the more thorough kuowledge necessary for the affairs of the world, in our institutions of learning. — »s * Our Mines _ The San Francisco papers have more to say now about Nevada County than we ever knew them to do before.

Orders left ‘with him at the Company’s office, on the Plaza, will be promptly attended to. Field For Prospectors, We. wrote an article the other ~day-abder this caption, and the San Francisco Post copies it entire, and says: Nevada county is perhaps as attractive a field for energetic men as there is.to-day.in the State. It is rich in minerals, enjoys a good cli‘mate, bas valleys of fertile lands and its higher slopes will grow ‘fruit to the summit. In many parts of the State, owidg.to the drought, employment js slack, In this city and in the large inland towns, a very considerable number of.men are seeking work who cannot obtain it. Nevada county holds out inducements ‘for the more enterprising of ‘this class which should not be overlooked. Young single meno should make their way to the old mining counties and hit out manfolly for independence, which cun never be achieved by hanging about the street corners or loafing near‘ the doors of liquor]: saloons in the . ilirge _ cities. The T'ranscarpr's advice is encouraging, and-we present it to the readers of the Post in the bope that it may assist some who are in doubt where to go or what to doin making a wise decision,’ Persons more especially eugaged in the distribution of labor in this Stute shonld not overlook the advantages which Nevada county offers to the right stamp of men. . Mere bummers are—-not. wanted, but men able and willing to work muy push their way as well in Nevada county as in any, other sections of California.

Orders left ‘with him at the Company’s office, on the Plaza, will be promptly attended to. Field For Prospectors, We. wrote an article the other ~day-abder this caption, and the San Francisco Post copies it entire, and says: Nevada county is perhaps as attractive a field for energetic men as there is.to-day.in the State. It is rich in minerals, enjoys a good cli‘mate, bas valleys of fertile lands and its higher slopes will grow ‘fruit to the summit. In many parts of the State, owidg.to the drought, employment js slack, In this city and in the large inland towns, a very considerable number of.men are seeking work who cannot obtain it. Nevada county holds out inducements ‘for the more enterprising of ‘this class which should not be overlooked. Young single meno should make their way to the old mining counties and hit out manfolly for independence, which cun never be achieved by hanging about the street corners or loafing near‘ the doors of liquor]: saloons in the . ilirge _ cities. The T'ranscarpr's advice is encouraging, and-we present it to the readers of the Post in the bope that it may assist some who are in doubt where to go or what to doin making a wise decision,’ Persons more especially eugaged in the distribution of labor in this Stute shonld not overlook the advantages which Nevada county offers to the right stamp of men. . Mere bummers are—-not. wanted, but men able and willing to work muy push their way as well in Nevada county as in any, other sections of California.
