As far as 1 have yet observed it continued Dr. Draper, “this association of California teachers shows a com- pany of men and woman who are thor- aroused to the solution of pending educational problems of the day. T have never met a gathering of teachers who seemed more earnest and | intelligent. “From conversation with individuals, from the I have listened to and the discu 1 have thus far heard at the Round Tables, T can readily be- lieve that the educational work of the ual training building and equipment, valued at about $12,000, while she im- posed the condition that the same shall be used solely for manual training. “The vote for the special tax of $3000 for this purpose was carried al- most unanimously, and the people of nta Barbara feel that manual train- ing, which has hitherto proved itself S0 valuable, is now a necessary and firmly established institution. The children, at all times full of interest, now accept this work as their right, and the matter of attendance is never questioned. Their fondness for the work leads them to put forth their best efforts, and rank in manual train- ing is included with their other studies — to a greater extent than in the East- | ern States “I have alwa ys found that a cosmo- politan people influence each other in behalf of schools. The Germans, in particular, are very jealous of their privileges in the public schools, and they place a v high estimate upon | the value of good teachinz. But of course there is alw: room for im- | provement everywhere. | . = * | The following report on manual | training in the schools of Santa Bar- | bara was read during the session of the Round Table in the department of | manual training, over which James E. | Addicott of the San Jose Normal hool presided: “Those who have read the report of Manual Training in Santa Barbara’ it was presented at the Round | Table in 1896 during the meeting of the State Teachers’ Association at San Jose will remember that Miss Blake, the generous woman who founded thi work six years ago, was still main- taining the school, with a very little stance from the public school funds, although manual training was | virtually a part of the public school | system. | ‘Il health necessitating Miss Blake's | release from the responsibilities occa- | | | | | sioned by her ownership of the school, | a formal proposition was made by her | throvngh the board of trustees that the | running expenses of the school, in- cluding the salaries of two of the teachers, be assumed by the city—Miss Blake agreeing to be responsible for | the salary of the principal, whom she | named for the ensuing two years.

Miss Rich, the principal of the manual training building, is this year ably assisted in the sloyd school by Miss Harriet Johnston,a recent gradu- ate from Boston, and it is expected that the results at the close of the school year will prove even more sat- isfactory than heretofore. EDNAH A. RICH. Santa Barbara, Cal. CSEE S Mrs. Carrie Shaw Rice, one of the distinguished visitors who attended the State Teachers’ Association, is a member of the State Board of Educa- tion of Washington. Mrs. Rice came originally from Illi- nois, where she received her education in the public schools of that State. In 1883 she went to Tacoma, and has ever since taught there long and faithfully. She is at present critic teacher in the City Training School. * Mrs. Rice is widely known as a writer. Many of her poems are found in the lately published school readers, and her work has met with ready acceptance by a number of fore- most literary magazines of the coun- A volume of her poems, entitled “In Childland Straying,” has been re- ceived with marked appreciation, and is highly commended by eritics of the United States and England.

In doing this we at first sent out a large list of suitable books for the teachers to experiment with, and later we had reports from various sec- tions at the next County Institute. Then the books that the children didn’t like were rejected, and the list of forty-five different books were scat- tered through the grades of the pri- mary and grammar schools. It was only last year that we completed this list and placed it in the course of study throughout the county. In each grade, beginning with the second, there were eight or nine books for the children to read at home, and later they were ex- amined on their reading by the teach- ers and marked accordingly. The children have taken great interest in the plan, and at the institute meeting last fall it was reported that over 9000 books had been read during the whole time by the various grades. “It was satisfactorily proven that children do enjoy standard literature as much as adults. Scott, Dickens and George Eliot were the favorite authors in the grammar grades. In the pri- mary grades there is displayed a fond- ness for fairy tales, mythical lore and ories of adventure. 'Our experience has shown conclu- sively that school children do appreci- ate a higher grade of literature than is commaonly supposed. : @ Harmless Crank.

Nevada County is taking hold of the mining exposition in a that will enable it to make the most of the un- paralleled opportunity to advertise its | mineral resources. The committee has | asked for 2000 square feet of space and | will put in a magnificent and attractive | exhibit. | | | It will go further, however, and super- intend its own exhibit. There will be constantly with the exhibit a competent | miner and geologist familiar with every | phase of the industry in the county, who | will be ready to give any intérested in- quirer practical or scientific information | that may be wanted. This is an exam- ple that every county should follow. Each county exhibit should have as great a display as possible of striking, curious and otherwise interesting things that will attract popular attention. A small pr: portion of the visitors to the fair will be wise about mining, but it is not chiefly to mining men that the exhibits should appeal. Thousands who know little or nothing about mining are investing in mines, or wanting to do so. The end to be reached is a popuiar understanding | of the greatness and possibilities of the region. To ninety-nine out of a hundred an immense block of low-grade ore will be more effective as an advertisement | than a whole cabinet of small specimens that would interest a mineralogist. Rel- ics, pictures, collections, maps, graphic illustrations of the total production of a county and some of its great mines and so on will make such an exhibit a center of attraction. A complete and varied collection illustrating the county’s re- sources to mining men, judicious descrip- tive information for distribution and an atelligent somebody to answer questions will. help make up the most effective agency within the reach of any mining region to make known its wealth and hasten its development. Hundreds of prospectors and thousands of _investors and others will in the future turn their attention in new directions through what they learn during the five weeks of the mining fair. At this time the prospects are that at least seven or eight counties will make extensive and worthy mining displays, but there should be twenty of them. great exhibit from Nevada County is as- sured, and most of the great mines of Grass Valley and Nev City are ar- ranging to contribute ores. The:Califor- nia_ Exploration Company is _actively leading the enterprise in ‘Calaveras County, and with the co-operation of the miners’ generally, prom one._ of the most interesting displays that will be made. At a meeting in_Auburn to-mor- row the participation of Placer County will be considered, and the Supervisors will be asked to appropriate $.00, The newspapers of Siskivou County are vig- orously agitating the proposition, and Siskiyou will probably be in line. In Plumas the Supervisors have been asked for $500. Amador, El Dorade, Tuolumne, Kern, Butte and Shasta promise exhibits but the prospects are somewhat indefl nite. " Fhere is gratifying and widespread inter- est in the fair all over the State, but a little more vim and organization seems to be called for throughout the interior. A great many of the leading miners are making daily inquiry at headquarters and are cordially offering ores and col- lections. Jefferson Doolittle of Gold Run offers to ship all the granite wanted for the hydraulic mining apparatus, and many of the leading mine-owners have offered Jarge displays of rich ores if their safety is assured. Perfect arrangements have been made by Superintendent E. H. Benjamin for the protection of all val- uabie ores and nuggets, which will be | constantly guarded and locked in safes | at night. There is no doubt that there | will be a larger and richer collection of gold ores at the fair than was ever gath- | ered together at a similar displa: | One of the important features of the | fair will be a State miners’ day, with addresses by eminent mining men and | others. DEVELOPMENT OF OIL FIELDS. The year 1898 promises to see a remark- abie development of the oil resources of | the State. During the past year there ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— | great deal for the industry. | has been a greatly increased turning to the oil fields, and State Mineralogist A. 8. Cooper measures the increase of activ- v as three times that of any year in the past. The production for the year | will probably not show the amount of prospecting for oil, the investment in oil lands and the preparation for develop- ment work are undoubtedly three times what they were a year ago. The oil bearing formations of the State are distributed over practically the en- tire Coast Range and the development has been but comparatively slight. There is no doubt that there are fields as rieh as those of Los Angeles, Summerland and Ventura County awaiting discovery or that this State is destined to become sec- ond in ofl production. The most notable development of the year has been in the western part of Fresno County, where good wells have been sunk and where bout 300 locations of oil claims have been, made. The recent decision of the Secretary of the Interior restoring 1 to the list of mineral products governtd by the Federal mining law will do a Field As- sistant W. L. Watts has spent the entire season i Southern California, where he is unable to meet the crowding demands for his expert opinions from people who are prospecting properties. The discov- eries in Fresno County have helped stim- ulate the search in the counties south of the bay, in all of which oil indications | are frequent, but in which production is yet next to nothing. A number of welis have been driven in the region of Haif- moon Bay with encouraging results, and prospecting is_going on in Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Benito Counties. Last | week J. H. Means of the State Mining | Bureau went down to Sargents, in Santa | Clara County, to make some studies of | structural geology there for the benefit of the Watsonville Oil Company. This company has recently been prospecting for oil ‘in that corner of Santa Clara County, and has driven two wells of about 800 feet, finding a little oil. Now, in accordance with Mr. Means' advice, a well of 1200 feet will be driven in another location. This is one of the many re- gions in which oil seepages are plenty but in which no prospecting has ever n done. It is likely that during the r extensive prospecting will be | hed ahead in Contra Costa County and other places in the bay region rich in indications but wholly undeveloped. EARLY GUESSING THAT COLORA- DO’S GOLD PRODUCT MAY BE THE BIGGEST. According to press dispatches Director of the Mint Preston predicts that Colo- | rado will lead California in gold produc- tion for 1897, and that for the first time in its history California wili take second place. It is expected that Colorado’s yield will be about $20,000,000, and Cali fornia's somewhat less. It may or'may not turn out this way, | but it is much too early for anything but the usual newspaper claims made with big figures. Colorado will show a very large increase in its product, which was about $15,000000 in 1896, but its in- crease will be almost whoily due to the | activity and development of one camp— Cripple Creek. The development of Crip- ple Creek mines and chiefly the working | of their low-grade ores by the aid of improved processes, cheaper transporta- tion and increased smelting capacity have | run the monthly product of this district | up to $1,000,000, the figures reached in No- vember and December. This is at the rate of $12,000.000 a vear, and it may be increased during 1895, for the ore produc- tion is now in excess of the capacity of | railroads and smelters to handie i California is not jealous of Colorado | because of the latfer's great Cripple | Creek. and will take it philosophically if | Colorado goes to the head of the cias for one year. The increase of produc tion in this State does not come from one mining camp, or from a dozen only. It comes, and will continue to come from every county in a rich gold-producing region stretching continuously for a thou- sand miles. 5 Here new stamp mills are going up everywhere from the Klamath to the Colorado, thousands of prospectors are scattered over mountain and desert from skiyou to San Diego, and investments and discoveries are as widespread, all of which shows the room and the oppor- tunity the gold miner finds in California. The immense ameunt of development work which has been going on in the past vear or two all over the State will not greatly increase the total output for an- other year or two, but the boom which the industry is having promises a future increase of several million dollars from present operations alone. The $20,000,000 mark is not very far ahead for Cali- fornia, and there is no danger of its long remaining in second place if it should be placed there this year. The total out- put of this State for 1887 has been much reduced by a scarcity of water in some of the mother lode districts, where many large mills were shut down for several weeks for want of power. It is likely that | the product will exceed $18,000,000, and may approach $20,000,000. | NOTES FROM THE FIELD. Julian Sonntag, secretary of the Cali- fornia Miners' Association, has received from W. S. Adams, editor of the Jerome (Ariz.)
