bey Re 3s: Pula The Daily Transcript "NEVADA CITY, CAL. Thursday, Sept: 11th, 1873. Colusa to Nevada City. The Colusa Sun, in noticing the fact that the Benicia and Red Bluff) Narrow Gauge Railroad is progressing, that a company of graders will ’ goon -be pnt to work between Suisyn‘and Vacaville, remarks: “Tt. is. -the,. — -—intention—of the. eonipany to build & road from Nevada City to Colusa, s0_ to bring all the travel and trade of =a section through here.» This Nevada City road, if the company are able to build it—and if they can com. plete one they can the gther—will be of great advantage to us ih more ways than one. In the-next few “years there will be ar immense ‘amount of lumber used in this coun-: ty, and this road would reduce the price of it at least one-third, We believe thatthe lumber trade alone would almost pay for running the By the above it wou seem that the railroad’ project has. not fallen through, as some of our people, ourselves included, had really’ believed. We have been promised two lines of railroad; one from this eity to Colfax, and by the way, one of the men interested in the survey, informed us the other day that the work would surely be commenced sometime next Spring. It is stated that.the delay in building the road was caused by the estimates, made by the engineer, being so much moge than was expected, that the company was not ‘prepared.to go ahead on it at present. The other road promised, is. from this city to Colusa,connecting with the narrow gauge road“ftom that plave to Benicia. A New haticens Project. . A number of weulthy capitalists in the East organized a railroad com. . ‘pany for the purpose of constructing an air line road from New York to Chicago. It was proposed to make the road a freight line to afford cheap and speedy transportation for the products of the €reat West to the seaboard. Since that time the company have surveyed the route and have obtained charters frem the dif“ferent States through which it will pass, A meeting of the directors of the company was held in New York and the advantages of the project were plainly set forth: «The proposed route will be nearly two hundred miles shorter than routes now traveled, and it is claimed that if built it will effectually settle the question of “cheap transportation, as ~ freight could then be transported from Chicago to New York for from . twenty to fifty per cent. less than. at present, The cost of the road is estimated at one hundred and seventy-five millions of ee, says the ‘‘Independent,”” Itis apparent that the present means of communication between the valley of the Mississippi and the Atlantic seaboard are inadequate to accommodate the rapidly increusing trade, and a road of this kind, devoted wholly to freights would supply a great want. Ifit should be pushed forward to Chicago, we may expect to see it eventually carried across the continent,” and should the Government assume thé management of such a road and run it for reasonable rates the day for: exorbjifant charges on other roads will have passed, >< oe Singing Class for Ludies. A'Singing Class will be organized at the Congregational churcb, for ladies only, on Friday evenjng, Sept. 12th. Those who desire joining the Class, are requésted to be in attendance at 7 o'clock. C.

K. Cowger, Tus}, ee Irregular. Attendance at School. The importance of children’s regular attendarce toschool §& obvious to all who give apy’ attention to the. subject. * Many have no idea what a defeet every now and then a day’s absence, makes #pa s holar’s progress, and how it {discourages him. If there were no classes, and each s¢holar would pursue his studies by himself, . e-abserce would not.be ‘so detri-. mental; he could then, after a day’s absence, begin where he left off;-but in our crowded public schools we mist classify hescholars, and. 80 that is not possible: Tf one is a day absent his classmates will get a day’s ‘study ahead of him, and when he i; ‘ata disadvantage, forone days lesson has a connection with the lesgon of the precéding xday; so aftera day’s absence he cannot fully underStand his lesson, ‘no matter how hard he may “study, because the‘knawledge of the preceding day’s lesson is necessary to understand it. ‘If in a few tlays he is absent again, it still puts him to u greater disadvantage with his classmates. It not only retards a pupil’s progress; but it dis. courages him; he sees the others outstrip him, for by frequent absence he cannot keep up to them, even if he is their-superior in natural talents. The lessons’seem dark-‘and dull to him, and, because he cannot master them as wellkas the others who have the advantage of regular attendance, he imagines—if he doesnot see the true cause-—that ‘he is their inferior naturally, and sinks into carelessnes and indifference, a habit which may cling to him through life. If he is keeh enough to see the true cause of his poor success, it discourages him the niére; his pride is wounded when his ambition is thus checked, and he becomes to despise schoot“and study and evén seeks excuses to absent himself. Youth is naturally ambitious, and among the young there is a constant equal, if he cannot be superior to the others; and if he has not an equal’ -chatice in the contest, he struggles at a disadvantage, andthe others gain on him,-and he becomes~disreouraged. When he sees that he get beat anyhow, he relaxes his efforts and gives up in despair, for the ardor of youthful ambition is easily chilled. How many have thus been checked at the outset of their career and. have been kept in security when they might have become shining . lights? How many bright stars are thus kept below the horizon,. that, if} they could but rise, would shine with . luster in the hq penith?, ‘ By fregular attendance a scholar larity whichis necessary in all things is apt to form irregular habits, an‘other bad thing which may cling + him threagh life. To become master of any art or craft requires practice, as all artists and craftsmen know, and the same is required to master any branch of education, In & common school the rudiments of an education is all that can be acquired, and that is enough for the practical use of a large majority if it is not defective. As far as one is learned his education should be thorough, and that tan only be acquired by thorough practice—hence the importance of eee attendance toschool.If one can only go three months to school, let him go for the three months at one time, and not scattered through the whole term, so that what he learns he can learn thoroughly. Itis better to know only addition, and know that well, than to have a smattering idea of all the fundamental rules, so that none can be turned to practical use.“Aneducation is acquired by studying a number of lessons, all of which are as necessary to make it complete, as plete a chain. Better have a short +and--comptetechain than pieces enough to make a long one and not connécted. So it is better to go to school Tegularly, if not so long, that what is learned may be complete like the sKort chain, than to go a longer time and irregularly, and then what is learned be as fragmentary and useless as the disconnected links of chain. An-education is the armor to fight the battle of llfe; the shield to guard against the intrigues of Togues; as the fence around a field is to protect the crops from the Tavages of the seattle. Now suppose a farmer wants toifence a field, and has just time him nee . it, enongh, and when the time is up he is not taught theimportancé of regu-' to-sueceed,-and-by-such-an‘exemple ‘all the links are necessary to com. : must be around the field with his fence, Butif he should neglect to work some days, he must then, in order to be around when the time is up,deave*the places open that he}. ' would fence on those neglected days, and then what fence he makes would BORN. en In this city: Sept, oth, 1873, to John Senner, dY., ane wife, a son, 9 mg Ck Soa Dissolution of C opartnership. be useless. In the same way school days are limited, and if one goes to) sc hool irfegiflarlyhis~edueation will . be as full of gaps, and as useless as . the above described fence.

K. Cowger, Tus}, ee Irregular. Attendance at School. The importance of children’s regular attendarce toschool §& obvious to all who give apy’ attention to the. subject. * Many have no idea what a defeet every now and then a day’s absence, makes #pa s holar’s progress, and how it {discourages him. If there were no classes, and each s¢holar would pursue his studies by himself, . e-abserce would not.be ‘so detri-. mental; he could then, after a day’s absence, begin where he left off;-but in our crowded public schools we mist classify hescholars, and. 80 that is not possible: Tf one is a day absent his classmates will get a day’s ‘study ahead of him, and when he i; ‘ata disadvantage, forone days lesson has a connection with the lesgon of the precéding xday; so aftera day’s absence he cannot fully underStand his lesson, ‘no matter how hard he may “study, because the‘knawledge of the preceding day’s lesson is necessary to understand it. ‘If in a few tlays he is absent again, it still puts him to u greater disadvantage with his classmates. It not only retards a pupil’s progress; but it dis. courages him; he sees the others outstrip him, for by frequent absence he cannot keep up to them, even if he is their-superior in natural talents. The lessons’seem dark-‘and dull to him, and, because he cannot master them as wellkas the others who have the advantage of regular attendance, he imagines—if he doesnot see the true cause-—that ‘he is their inferior naturally, and sinks into carelessnes and indifference, a habit which may cling to him through life. If he is keeh enough to see the true cause of his poor success, it discourages him the niére; his pride is wounded when his ambition is thus checked, and he becomes to despise schoot“and study and evén seeks excuses to absent himself. Youth is naturally ambitious, and among the young there is a constant equal, if he cannot be superior to the others; and if he has not an equal’ -chatice in the contest, he struggles at a disadvantage, andthe others gain on him,-and he becomes~disreouraged. When he sees that he get beat anyhow, he relaxes his efforts and gives up in despair, for the ardor of youthful ambition is easily chilled. How many have thus been checked at the outset of their career and. have been kept in security when they might have become shining . lights? How many bright stars are thus kept below the horizon,. that, if} they could but rise, would shine with . luster in the hq penith?, ‘ By fregular attendance a scholar larity whichis necessary in all things is apt to form irregular habits, an‘other bad thing which may cling + him threagh life. To become master of any art or craft requires practice, as all artists and craftsmen know, and the same is required to master any branch of education, In & common school the rudiments of an education is all that can be acquired, and that is enough for the practical use of a large majority if it is not defective. As far as one is learned his education should be thorough, and that tan only be acquired by thorough practice—hence the importance of eee attendance toschool.If one can only go three months to school, let him go for the three months at one time, and not scattered through the whole term, so that what he learns he can learn thoroughly. Itis better to know only addition, and know that well, than to have a smattering idea of all the fundamental rules, so that none can be turned to practical use.“Aneducation is acquired by studying a number of lessons, all of which are as necessary to make it complete, as plete a chain. Better have a short +and--comptetechain than pieces enough to make a long one and not connécted. So it is better to go to school Tegularly, if not so long, that what is learned may be complete like the sKort chain, than to go a longer time and irregularly, and then what is learned be as fragmentary and useless as the disconnected links of chain. An-education is the armor to fight the battle of llfe; the shield to guard against the intrigues of Togues; as the fence around a field is to protect the crops from the Tavages of the seattle. Now suppose a farmer wants toifence a field, and has just time him nee . it, enongh, and when the time is up he is not taught theimportancé of regu-' to-sueceed,-and-by-such-an‘exemple ‘all the links are necessary to com. : must be around the field with his fence, Butif he should neglect to work some days, he must then, in order to be around when the time is up,deave*the places open that he}. ' would fence on those neglected days, and then what fence he makes would BORN. en In this city: Sept, oth, 1873, to John Senner, dY., ane wife, a son, 9 mg Ck Soa Dissolution of C opartnership. be useless.
