DIRECTIONS FOR KEY-HOLDERS .- Upon the discov- ery of a fire near your signal-box, turn the crank steadily to the right, forty times, then wait & few moments, and if you hear no alarm on the large bells, turn as before. If you still hear no alarm, go to the next box and give the alarm from that. Never open the box or touch the crank except in case of fire. Never signal for & fire seen at & distance. Do not give an alarm for a burning chimney. Be sure your box is locked before leaving it. Upon & second alarm being struck for the same fire it will be con- sidered a general alarm. Second alarms will be turned in only by order of the Chief Engineer or his Assistants.
Keys of the signal boxes are deposited in the vicin- ity of each box, at such places as are indicated upon cards placed thereon.
The signal boxes in use consist of eighty-two crank boxes and seventy-seven automatic boxes. An alarm from an automatic box ia given by pulling down the hook once and letting go, unerring mechanism doing the rest.
Complaints concerning the working of the Fire Alarm Telegraph, irregular striking of the bells and gongs, broken wires, etc., should in all cases be made at the Fire Alarm Office, Brenham Place.
In case of tumult or riot, whereby the services of the Police force are required, an alarm will be given, consisting of ten strokes upon the bells and gongs, repeated five times, which will be & signal for the Po- lice to assemble at the old City Hall. This alarm will be given only by order of the Mayor or Chief of Police.
The telegraph apparatus consists of about one hun- dred and twenty miles of wire, divided into nineteen circuits, of which twelve are signal circuits, or cir- cuits running to the signal boxes. Alarm gongs are located in the different Engine, Hook and Ladder, and Hose houses, each connected with the Central Office by the fire alarm circuita and eight alarm bells for striking the alarm box, located as follows: One on the Hall of the Exempt Fire Co., one on the Engine House on Sixth street, one on the Engine House on Stockton street, one on the Engine House on Second street, one on the Engine House on California street, one on the Engine House on Sixteenth street, one on the Engine House on Bryant street, and one on the Engine House on Pa- cific street. The bells and gongs are each struck at the same time by electrical machinery.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The Travelers Insures against Accidents from one day to one year.
The free public schools of San Francisco are the pride of the citizens, and their efficiency attract many families to reside in the city in order that their child- ren may reap the advantages they offer. The first English school was established in April, 1847, with about thirty pupils, taught by a Mr. Marston, who is, therefore, the pioneer teacher of the city. Late in the same year the citizens organized a public school, and erected a building on the southwest corner of the Plaza, now Portsmouth Square. In April, 1849, the Common Council established a public school, and John C. Pelton and wife were employed as teachers, and this was the beginning of the system which has continued to the present time. During the fiscal year of 1881-1882 there were 61 schools, employing 675 teachers, and having an enrolled attendance of 40,752 pupils, of whom 21,485 were boys, and 19,267 girls. By the report of the School Census Marshal, June 30, 1882, the number of youth in the city under seven- teen years of age is 75,386, being a decrease for the year of 4,820. The number between five and seven- teen who are entitled to draw school money is 55,,667 an increase of 562 for the year. The number attend- ing private and church schools only, during the year (not including Chinese) was 5,589, a decrease during the year of 142. The number between five and sev- enteen years of age (not including Chinese) who have not attended school at any time during the year was 14,189, an increase from the preceding year of 1,216. The last exhibit-of children not attending any school-is worthy of note. The enrollment at the different schools was as follows : High schools- Boya, 327 ; girls, 920 ; total, 1,257. Grammar schools, including some Primary grades-Boys, 6,615 ; girls, 7,108 ; total, 13,723. Primary schools, including some Grammar grades-Boys, 11,889; girls, 10,794; total, 22,683. Evening schools-Boys, 2,654; girls, 435; total, 3,089. The financial condition of the Depart- ment is represented as follows: The city tax for school purposes in the year 1881-82 was 9% cents on each $100. The total income, including cash on hand at the beginning of the year was $764,199 62, a de- crease from last year of $138,286 04. The expendi- turesįwere $735,474 61 ; decrease for the year $81,849 10. Cost of instruction per pupil, based on the enroll- ment, and excluding expenditures for buildings, $17 35. Cost of instruction per pupil, based on aver- age daily attendance, and including expenditures for buildings, $23 73. The amount paid teachers' salaries, $623,368 45; an increase from the preceding year of $2,013 83. The estimated value of school property is : School sites, $1,930,000; buildings, $975,000; school furniture, $195,000; libraries, $12,000; school apparatus, $25,000. Total, $3,137,000.
