A small party' of Meiictin traders—
myself among the number—had , push.-

object was to arrive , at Santa . Fe a
day or 'two before the wagons, in or

the Goiernor for , their entrance into
that capital. .We . took , the route by
the Oimmarou..
Our road for--a_ hindred milea. or,
so; lay *dutch a barren desert, with:
out game, and almost without water.
The buffalo had-already disappeared,
and deer wore equally scarca. We
has to Content ourselves on the dried
meat which we had brought from the
settleMents.' We were in the deserts
of Artemisia. Now and then . ire
could see a stray antelope bounding:

away before us. but keeping far out
of range. They, too, seemed to be
unusually shy.
On the third day after` lenving the
caravan, as we were riding near Cie].
maron,.l thought I observed prong
ed head disappeariog• behind a swell,
of, the prairie. My companions were
skeptical, and would none of them go
with me ; so, wheeling out of ' the
trail, I started alone. One'of the men
kept charge of my dog, as Find not
choose to take him with me, least ho
might alarm the antelopes. Myhorse
was fresh and willing ; and whether
successful or • not, I knew thatl
could easily overtake the party by
camping time. - - -
I struck directly toward the spot
where .I. had seen the object. It ap
peared 'to be only 'half -a mile or so
from the trail It proved More dis
tant—a common illusion in the crys-
tal atmpsphere -of 'these upland' re-;
gions.!
A curiously -formed • ridge—i con ,
team,* pratiriea on a small- scale,-
travetied the plain from east to west.
A thiaket of cactus covered part of its
summit; Toward this thicket I direct
ed myself. , • • .
I dismounted at the bottom of the.
slope, and leading my horse silently
up among the cacti-planta, tied him
to one of \ teir branches. I then crept
'
cautiously 'through the thorny leaves
toward the point where I fancied I
had seen the game. To my joy not
one antelope,: but a brace of those
beautiful animals, was grazing be
yond,; but alas 1 too far off for the
carry of - tnY rifle. They were filly
three handled yards, distant ; upon a•
smooth; grassy slope. - Thefts was not
even a Sage-bush to covelme,ehotild
I attempt to 'a roach them. . What
was to be done
I lay for Several minutes, thinking
over the different tritke known -1*
hunter-craft for taking the antelope:
Should I imitate their call ? Should
I hoist my hankerehief and try to lure
them up? li , paw that they were tee
shy, for,! at phort intervala,they threw
up theit graceful heads, and looked
inquiringly
red
them. - I remem
bered the red blanket on, my saddle.
I could display this upon the cactus
bushes, perhaps iit would attract
them.

of his hoof, as though the animal was
rearing and plunging to free himself.
Then I could distinguish the egoke
of his heels in a measured and gu
lar gallop.
Nearer came the soundq--nearer
and' nearer, until the gallant brute
bounded out on the bank above me.
There he halted, 'and flinging back

He was bewildered, and looked npen
every side, snorting loudly.
I knew that, havinennce seen me
he would not stop until he had pressj
his nose against my cheek—for this
was his' usual custom. Holding out
my hands "I again uttered the magic
words.
Now looking downward he per

There• was no time to be lost. I
was still going down, and my arm=

I caught the lariat; and, passing it

a tight, firm - hot. I then looped the
trailing end,makipg it secure around

Graded* Schools, ere no , more nor
leen than schools so constituted - as to
derive 'the full benefit of the system
nib - division of labor. To the appli
citiounf principleilti - the arts,
are in • more thdebted for' the pp ,
rens made, 'thin any other. We
canictirceltimigine to what , condi:-
tin' we s (lola lbe reduced, 'were
; each-- _of., us under' "the necessity of
ininufaCturing from the raw materi
'al, every article or implement used.
Yet froth such condition of need has
it iaised wt. •
The first step in the application of
this principle in the' work of educar
ting children, is that of employin a
leacher possessing the requisite s kill,
in4b b e
The second step, is, . perhaps, that
of bringing together, the children of
saber' „ families ; thus saving ex
pense with no loss of efficiency, but
rather a gain derived from associated
action and emulation.
This is not all. The temporary re
rnbval from the family to the associa
tion of others,under proper restraints;
influences and instructions, becomes
ei useful preparation to the child for
stepping out into the arena of life.
The power of self-control, resist
ance to temptations, and the evil in
iluencee of others is strengthed by
the of actual resistance.—
Thai a rounding out of . character,
* ad a practical knowledge of human
*tare is obtained under supervision
n thiaminiature world, the school.
A child kept from the association
of others than his own family - until
he attains his majority, and ' then
. thrown r, suddenly upon the world;
finds h imself poorly fitted for its
tivo duties and responsibilities.
A third step is tie classification of
pupils according to their several de
grees of advance rent and capacity
in the several branches of study and
recitation. • By this- means the in
struction of ten classes, of, say; ten
pupils each, may with nearly equal
'facility and-profit be attended to, as
ten recitations of one pupil 'each.—
Thus the usefulness of one person
Imlay be increased in a ten fold ratio,
,With no additional expense.
A fourth step may be described to
be a division of classes, or an assign
;meat of them' to , different depart-
Meats and individuals for inatruction.
Ina school of fifty pupils, there mby, '
counting all grades, very properly be
twenty or' more classes, a portion of
which ahnuld recite twice daily. Al
lowing twenty-five" recitations per
day, time for recess, 'calling the roll,
and incidental interruptions, not more
than ten or fifteen minutes can be de-
Toted to each recitation ;-a time al
together too short, for few recitations,
Should occupy leas than half en hotiv
'lt will at once lie seen, that where
from sixtyto three hundred or more
Pupils can be brought together, the
range of scholarship being the same,-
the, number of classes need =_ not ne
cessarily be increased. Thii,classes
being larger, one teacher 'can in
struct a much larger number of pu
pils with 'equal facility and gretter
efficiency, because more time can be
devoted to each recitation. - If there
•ate pupils enough to require the l aer ,
•vices of three teachers, one can take`
the primary classes, another the in
termediate, and a third the higher.
This insures a saving of expense,
flint, because so great a number of
teachers .is not required to teach the
same number of pupils.: Second, be
cense competent teachers for the
prithary and intermediate grades
may be ,employed at smaller
salaries than for the higher grades,
whereas, if the schools ware not
graded, , some of the pupils -of the
higher graft' Would be found in
each school, making it necessary
that all the teachers employed be
equal in qualifications to those re
qnired for the highest grade. Third,
because leas amount of apparatus is
needed. No 'more apparatus for il
lustre-gond is need? in a graded
school, of three hun red pupils, than
for one Of fifty , wh y re the range of
scholarship and branches studied' are
the same. Fourth, becariee only the
number of teachers required by the
actual number of pupils attending,
need be employed, while by the sep
arate Ungraded Oaten', a teacher
must be employed for each school, ir
reapeetive of the • number of pupils.
Fifth, because the cost of building
and fuel is leers. • No' one will deny
the fact that the same number of pu
pils can be . provided for and accom
modated in one large building at less
clog than in several separate smaller ,

Fourth_ oh schools are more
easily govenied, and a' good system
of discipline may be more readily
mforced and " maintained, becanse
pupils of morii nearly ,'the same de
grees of advancement and ages oc
cupy the same rooms. -
Fifth.. They are placed under one
responsible head, the 'Principal, who
has general oversight and control of
all departments. .
The number of grades, divisions
and subdivisions of such schools,
must necessarily depend upon the
numlier of pupils, degrees of ad
vancement and circumn s tancea tinder
which they exist. They are of two
kinds, or classes. Union- Graded
Schools are those schools where all
the rapils,attendin the rooms of one
building or buildings in the same vi
cinity. Those schools where 'pupils
Of different grades attend in diffek
eat loCalities, are called Separate
Graded Schools.. ,
The q uestion of ptioticsal and vital
importance to us and the people of
this county, is, to what 'exte it under
existing- circumstances, can our
schools be prAtably g raded ? - Can
they be so graded as to increase. their
efficiency' If so, upon whom does
the duty of grading them devolve?
That 'the law contemplates the
grading of schools, is clear, for it
speaks of "different , classes .apil
grades of schools." -It says, " Direc
tors 'till have' power to establish
schools of different grades, and to
determine into which school each pu-)
pil shall be admitted." It' further
says, "They shall establish a suffici
ent number_ of common schools for
the education of every individual
above the age of six and undertwen.
ty-one years in their respective dis
tricts who may apply for admission
and instruction." It does not limit
the " ethication ", to be ,provided, to
that absolutely required to be taught
in every district, lint provides that
-ati*r , branches may be taught. It is
the duty of directors to establish
schools of ectich grade as are needed.
It has been so held by the legal ex
pounders of the law ever since it was
enacted. The parent who pays tax
for the support of the common schools
should not, and cannot upon any
principle of justice or equity, have
his children, betNieen the ages of six
and twenty-one years, excluded there
from, simply because they have made,
better improvement of their' time
than others. Yet they are virtually
so excluded.. If such parents were
to follow np their rights; it would
teem that directors have no alterna
tive bat to either employ competent
teachers for such advanced pupils in
the ungraded schools,. or establish
schools of higher grade where they
may attend and receive instruction in
the branches they are qualified to
pursue.
- Gov. Geary, in his late sannal
message to the Legislature, says :
" The system established by the
&die was designed" not only to fur
nish-instruction to the youth in' the
elements of knowledge, but wherev
er practicable; to 'art to them, an
education in the hi er branches of
learning. ,The multiplication of
grammar and' high, schools Should,
therefore, receive every encourage
m'ent,- for they are necessary to per
fect the system and enable the State
_to avail itself of that talOnt which is
born in the cottages of ttyie poor quite
as frequently as in. the palaces of the
rich. Good scholars can not exist
without good teachers', and good
teachers can only be obtained by
using tha proper means to prepare
them." •
. These remarks and the' ezVacts
froin the law, show that its getter and .
spirit require the establishment of
such schools.
But the important truth expressed
in the last sentence quoted from the
Governer's Message, is one which
_should rest upon our minds at this
time with more than ordinary weight.
it derives -peculiar force from, the
fact that fully threelourths' of the
teachers employed in the .ommon
schools of this county are incompe
tent to give thorough instruetion to
pupils: advanced in the 'a(1102011
branches alone. During the'preval
ence of high prices, there his been
an increased drain from `the ranks of
teachers by offers of more desirable
and lucrative employment. The
sources of supply have-Wen 'affected
by similar causes, and by t parents
keeping their larger children from
school that they micht have the bon•
efit of their -labor,-, so that now, for
the first time in the history'of this
county, the number of- applicants for
certificates at the regular examina
tions, was barely sufficient to supply
the schools. It is possible that the
late act of the Leesslature requiring I
that teacheri shall possess a- fairl
lrnowledge of the History of the Uni
ted States and Theory of Teaching.,

number 'of applicants, tint beithat
It may, it is-an undeniable fact that
the supply of well qualified teachers
is so amall,that the County Superin
tendent has no alternative but to li
cense those very poorly qualified or
close a portion of the .schools, -He
has no power over the supply only . as
he may induce the people to offer the
necessary encouragement and means
to effect an increase. A live sup-

be given that pupils of it certain
grade or grades, or as many of the
more advanced pupils from all' parts
of the district as can be accommo

and many now virtually excluded

the number of classes - and incompe
tency of teachers, would be induced

dales. No• other course it is believed
will so . soon supply qual ified teachers,
or meet the just demands of those
parents whose children are now
,vir-_
tnally excluded from the common
schools.
The objection may be raised that -
injustice-will be done in establishing
such schools in rural districts, inas
much as those residing near _them, ,
and paying only the' same rates oft
tax for their support, - will enjoy
greater. advantages than those in dis
tant , portions -of the district. We
reply they would enjoy no greater
advantages than those arising from
locality only. Neither -the law nor -
itatflicers are responsible for the dis
advantages arising from such causes,
Such objections. if valid would pre- '
vent the location of any institution
for Abe' public good, or the erection a.
of buildings for public use. The few
residing iu distant portions pf the
districts would only be subjected to
the necessity for providing board for
-such advanced pupils in the more
inediate vicinity of the sehtiol, in
stead of at home. Such-pupils could •
be at home on Saturday and Sabbath.
This certainly would be preferable to
sending them away to boarding .
schools.
Another objection that may be .
raised, is that only advanced pupils
will be benefitted while all will have
to aid in paying for their instruction'.
The proper grading of schools will
prove even more beneficial to those
belonging to the lower departments
than to thdse 'of the higher,
' for the
formei deed more attention than the
latter, and are much mote likely to
be negle:ted in the mixed or ungrad
ed schools. What is sought, is, that -
those belonging to each department,
shall receive that attention and aid
they require. .
Now no suitable provision is made 1•
for those who have advanced beyond
an intermediate grade, while those {
belonging to lower departments, are,
in too many instances, neglected, and I -
insufficient motives 'aro presented to
induce them to put forth the efforts
necessary to proper advancement.-
But may. not those who have
_raised
families, and educated them without
the aid. of a school system, and who
are now taxed for the support of
schools, reasonably complain ? We
think not. No citizen - has a right to
complain of a law wisely calculated
to perpetuate free institutions and
government, simply because much.
law was not enacted or put in force
before he arrived:at a certain age.—
Stich a principle - in force would put
upon human improvement in govern
ment a dead lock, and atop forever
the wheel's of progress.
It may be asked, How will such
schools affect select\scheoler acade.
mies and higher - institutione of learn-.
ing ? Would they not ruin them ?
Directly the reverse. It is quite
likely that very feW select schoole
would be kept open during the terms
of such public schools.
Teachers possessing, merit would.
find ready employment in <the higher
schoolsßuring such terms, with the -
most favorable conditions for, contin
uing scliooll after their close. - While
higher institutions of learning would
be greatly benefited, not only in an .
increased number of applicants tor
admission, but in-the higher gradcfof
qualifications possessed by such ap
plicants..' Education is of such char
acter that the more there is obtained
the more there is wanted. /fence
*emus no surer way of building up
such institutions than by : elevating
the common Schools and Increasing
their efficiency. Common schools•
properly sustained- and imbued with
the true christian spirit, cannot but
be the most powerful elevatore of
common humanity. Where these
are really successful, there will higgh•
er institutions flourieh, and a higher
'degree of civilisation prevail. - But
to accomplish fully their-design; they
should be sustained with that liberal
, and enlightened spirit-which prompt
ed their establishment. No plan,
system, er gradinuof,aohools, can
supply the want of thiee necessary
elements of educational progress;
namely, true interest ‘pn the part of
the -people in the great object sought,
