From the Californian, March 15, 1848: The Liberty of the Press consists —Alexander HamilOne of the most startling manifestations of mass fanaticism that is exhibited every year on the American scene will occur this week when men and women, boys and girls, ‘hale and hearty and week and infirm begin the annual exodus from homes and firesides in search of the wily trout. For months to come the epoch-making events transpiring in Asia, Europe and the capitols of the world will ° be relegated to the status of the commonplace while an army of anglers regale one another with elaborate treatises on the respective merits of flies, rods, streams, lakes and ‘‘the one that got away.” Staid and proper citizens, ordinarily the ne plus ultra of conservatism, will throw moderation to the four winds and spend days patrolling fishing spots stalking their limits with unparalleled vigor and enthusiasm. Groups of fishermen having nothing in common but a love of fishing, will be joined together in a common bond of fellowship, exceeded only by ‘an intense rivalry that equals that of any other sport in the world. This unique and typically American phenomenon has been a constant source of discussion among philosophers, psychologists and medical scientists who attempt to explain why the sport has such a tremendous hold on the fishing fraternity, It cannot be the thrill of deftly placing a lure in front of a trout in such a» way that it will be tempted to snatch it and then maneuvering a rod and reel until the trout is safely énsconced in a basket. For even that highly skilled art would become tiresome and monotonous when repeated day after day, year after year. The exhilaration of the atmosphere and the aesthetic satisfaction from the Sylvan beauty of the mountains is available all the time. The deep and underlying reason for the love that fishermen have for their sport which transcends even the physical aspects of fishing, then, is the state of mind which accompanies every expedition. When a fisherman patiently casts for an elusive trout and the “subsequent battle ensues, his cares, trials and tribulations are forgotten. He is at peace with the world. All the current antics and posturings are evidently symptomatic of a mass retreat to find refuge from the thousand and one disagreeable things in life that a person meets every day. A retreat to the care-free and happy days on the banks of a stream where life seems secure. A robust mental condition protects against--hyper-sensitiveness, morbidity, obsessions, and defeatism. In these troublous times it is easy to become the prey of worry, fear and hypochondria, and therefore it is urgent to keep our minds alert, healthy, eager and efficient. A mind freed from worry and care for a few days will be stimulated to an amazing degree. This tonic to the mind coupled with the mastery of a technical and exacting sport in a setting of natural beauty provides a welcome relief from the exigencies of the high-speed civilization in which we , live. Far away in Asia and Europe there is a thunder of great guns, but the fisherman hears only falling water. In the skies of Norway, England and France airplanes with murderous cargoes soar, seek-. ing the spot on the fair earth where most death may be wrought. The fisherman when he raises his eyes from the crystal eddies and the deep pools, sees only light gossamar clouds, a red-tailed hawk hovering, a flight of wild pigeons, or circling swallows. ‘The water whitening in falls or swirling into the long, clear, rock-bound fastness, overshadowed by maples and dogwood, shuts out the world of war, (he trials and tribulations of the common lot, racuous disputes of politicians, and the cheap bickerings of the markets, Visits Father— iMrs, Herbert M.

With few exceptions there is no doubt that the tax required to support the public schools is the first item to be questioned whenever the subject of taxation is discusséd. No person will question that schools do cost quite a great deal of money and few people know just what amount of money it takes to support the schools, but any critical analysis of costs must be placed on a comparative basis. While it is possible to show that the support of schools’ is much less per capital than the majority of tax-supported institutions, the only true picture is presented when costs are placed on a basis of school costs in communities of similar size and school enrollment. The following costs per pupil in average daily attendance for the year 1938-1939, secured from the State Department ef Education, apply to schools comparable in size to the Nevada City schools and are ranked from the highest to the lowest in cost p ALD: A. fk Schools (from a group of 36) Brea-Olinda, Orange County $258.94 FOR MRS.

No person will question that schools do cost quite a great deal of money and few people know just what amount of money it takes to support the schools, but any critical analysis of costs must be placed on a comparative basis. While it is possible to show that the support of schools’ is much less per capital than the majority of tax-supported institutions, the only true picture is presented when costs are placed on a basis of school costs in communities of similar size and school enrollment. The following costs per pupil in average daily attendance for the year 1938-1939, secured from the State Department ef Education, apply to schools comparable in size to the Nevada City schools and are ranked from the highest to the lowest in cost
