N.A SHORT TIME the people of Nevada City will be
called upon to decide whether or not they will support
a high school of theirown. That they will be taxed
to support high schools in general is certain, for there
are already in the State cities, towns and ceunties supportof the amendment giving them State aid. Now it rests with
the people of this city to determine whether they are willing
that their taxes go for the maintenance of their own high
school, or those in different sections of the State.
Perhaps there aré many who cannot yet realize why it
is impossible for the present state of affairs to continue; why
it is impossible for the high school to be conducted now as
it has been in the past. As we have stated before in these
columns, our high school has been illegally maintained ever
since its establishment. For some time a protest has been
made against its further maintenance on money intended for
the grammar schools. Hence the call for the election on the
20th of this month.
We wonder how many consider that, without ahigh
school, the children of thirteen and fourteen years of age
are to be turned from the public schools as educated? It
has been said that as a nation advances in civilization, so
does the period of infancy; that is, of education increase—
that time when a child is trained and developed in a logical
and reasonable way. ‘This is so true that a boy or girl of
fourteen has by no means the power ‘or training necessary
for the struggle before him. The value of this training as
given by the public schools is now realized in almost every
community. Statistics show that a rapidly increasing pro«
portion of children are taking advantage of a high school
education and an equally decreasing proportion leave school
at the close of the grammar course.
The plans for the course of study for the
school are entirely with the Board of Education. By them
all action must be taken, and yet, perhaps, we may trace
roughly and in outline some of the opportunities which may
be given the pupils. Three elective courses can be offered.
The first is a commiercial course. This can include commercial arithmetic, bookkeeping stenography, and perhaps two
modern languages. In addition the pupil can take two years’
work frem the general list. Thus the pupil choosing this
course can have a practical business course combined with
other work which will tend towards general culture.
The second course to be offered will. be for those who
desire the general course with either no Latin at all or else
a limited amount. This will include algebra, geometry, history, English, physics and chemistry, with probably two
years’ Latin and advanced mathematics as ele:tive courses.
The third course will resemble the second, except that
four years of Latin will be taught. This is commonly known
as the literary course and is especially adapted for those desiring to become teachers. Here, too, if so desired, pupils
may elect some modern language, although what alternatives
may be presented cannot yet be stated. This, as stated before, is but a tentative scheme based on the courses of study
of other high schools. .
There seems to be a unanimous sentiment prevailing
among our people which strongly favors the establishment
of the proposed high school, and we have not the least doubt
but what the project will be carried by a big majority.
The matter of a few cents additional tax is not to be congid=
ered when the great advantages which will accrue to the
young men and women by the new high school education is
taken into consideration. Let everyone do all the missionary work possible for the success of the high school proposition between now and election day—May 2oth.

Republican Doctrine.
HE REPUBLICAN members of Congress who have
takén a firm stand against any concession to Cuba
involving an exception to Protective principles are
thoroughly consistent and on solid ground, If the
tariff on sugar is to be reduced especially to oblige Cuban
planters and middlemen the Protective Tariff system will be
assailed at other points to assist foreign-interests at the expense of ourown. The Republican national platform goes
no further with reciprocity than to approve it in dealing with
articles that we do not produce ourselves. That is the true
basis of action for Republicans, If they introduce an extinkering, the end of which no one can foresee. The impartial Protection of American industries is acknowledged unquestioned Republican doctrine. Special tariff concessions
toa foreign country are not Republican doctrine, and never
can be until the party abandons one of its origiual and cardinal articles of faith, ;

“So you are going to Europe?”

“Well, I’ve concluded that the other

Promotion Committee
‘May Co-Operate With .
Miners’ Union.
The Promotion Committee of Nevada
county wants the co-operation of the
Miners’ Union in a picnic te be given
for the purpose of raising funds to advertise the county. It is believed that
if the two organizations combine it
will be better from a financial standpoint for both and that it will bring
ont the largést crowd which ever attended a picnic in Nevada county, At
a meeting held Monday evening at
Grass Valley the matter was brought
up by-J.-J.Jackson of Nevada City,
and he assured Samuel Butler; presi=
dent of the Miners’ Union, that he
would guarantee the laboring men
$100 more than they had ever cleared
at a picnic ia the history of the Union.
Mr. Batler considered the proposition
@ good one and said he weuld bring
the matter before the Union on Friday evening. ;
An effort is. to be. made to obtain
the $1000 contingent appropriation
made by the Supervisors in order that
the money may be available for immediate use, A committee will wait upon the Supervisors at their next meeting and ask that the warrant be ordered drawn. In the event of the
Supervisors refusing, it is probable
that fifty business men will stand
good for the amount until the remaining $1000 has been raised. The Supervisors will also be requested to have
the silken banner awarded to Nevada
county at thee Midwinter Fair placed
on exhibition in the Ferry building,
San Francisco, where its significance
can be realized by the: traveling pub
lie.

Children Parade.
The parade of school children took
place at Grass Valley this afternoon,
and there-were hundreds of people on
the streets to see the demonstration,
which was held for the purpose of increasing enthusiasm among the voters
The sight of the bright faces should
be a striking argument in favor of the
advencement of education, and the
merry strains of thé military band
added zest to the occasion. ‘The pro=
cession of children left Columbus
schoolhouse about 2 o’clock.
Hadley Wanted.
George W. Wittman, Chief of Police
of San Franeisco, has sent out the foljowing circular: “Charles B. Hadley
is wanted by this department for the
murder of Miss Eleanor Maude Fuller,
a girl fifteen years of age, The girl,
who was cemmonly known as Nora
Fuller, left her home in this city on
the afternoon of January 11, 1902, in
response to @ newspaper advertise—
ment fora young white girl to take
care of a baby in @ geod home with a
good family. She was to meet her employer at a restaurant in the business
portion of the city. After leaving her
home the girl was not again seen alive.
On February 8th, 1902, the dead body
of the girl was found in an unfernished houce on Sutter street, this city.
The house had, previous to January
11, 1902, been rented and supplied
with a second-hand bed. The body
of the girl was found on this bed. The
girl had been strangled to death, and
previous to death she had been sexually abused. On the morning of January 16th the San Franciseo newspapers published extended accounts of
the mysterious disappearance of Nora
Faller. On that day also Charlies B.
Hadley mysteriously disappeared from
San Francisco, and has net since been
seen. This department, acting upon
evidence now in its possession, accuses
Charles B. Hadley of the murder of
Nora Fuller, and demands his arrest
and detention wherever he may be
found. The circular also contains a
minute discription of Hadley.

The Eyes of a Bee.
Every bee has two kinds of eyes—
the two large compound ones, looking
like hemispheres on either side, and
the three simple ones which crown the
top of his head. Bach compound eye
is composed of 3,500 facets—that is to
say, an object is reflected 8,500 times
on its surface. Every one of these
facets is the base of an inverted hexagonal pyramid, whose apex is fitted to
the head. Each pyramid may be termed an eye, for each has its own iris and
optic nerve.
How these insects manage this marvelous number of eyes is not yet
known. They are immovable, but mobility is unnecessary because of the
range of vision afforded by the position
and the number of facets, They have
no lids, but are protected from dust
and injury by rows of hairs growing
along the lines.at the Junctions of the
facets. The simple eyes are supposed
to have been given the bee to enable
it to see above its head when intent
upon gathering honey from the cups of
flowers. Probably this may be one
reason, but it is likely there are other
uses for them not yet ascertained.—
Pearson’s Weekly.
The Wearing of Amulets.
Who wore the first amulet it would
be impossible to say, but the adoption
of a talisman to ward off evil is of
very ancient origin.
Phylacteries, the Greek word for amulets, were worn by the Israelites, to
which allusion is made in the Scriptures. These phylacteries were 0;
row strips of parchment on which
were written passages from the Old
Testament. A strip was placed in a
small leather box and bound to the
left elbow by a narrow strap.. There
was a smaller phylactery for the forehead, the box for which was about an
inch square.
The word amulet is of Arabic origin
and implies a thing suspended. Amulets were of various kinds. The moonstone, found in the desert of Arabia,
was worn as a talisman against enchantment by the women, who suspended it around the neck. It was a
white, transparent stone, the time for
searching for it being midnight.
Various Styles of Hairdressing.
The various styles of hairdressing under Louis X VI. were known as the caseade of St: Cloud, the windmill, the
sheep and lambs, the hen and chickens,
the dog and hare, the peal of beHs, the
milkmaid, the bob wig, the bother, the
kerchief, the oriental, the Circassian,
Minerva’s helmet, the crescent, the
enigma, the desire to please, the turned
up calash, the treasurer of the age, the
frivolous bather, the rat, the drunken
monkey and the lover’s snare, the last
named consisting of a mass of curls:
covered with powder, particles of
which, deposited.on the coat or shoulfresh supply of frait and vegetables
on kand.
ders of a gentleman, indicated the
previous whereabouts of the lady’s
head.
