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 a 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 & general alsrm. 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 is 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 npon the bells and gongs, repeated five times, which will be a 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 aignal circuits, or cir- cuits running to the signal boxes. Alarm gongs are located in the different Engine, Hook and Ladder, and Hose houses, esch connected with the Central Office by the fire alarm circuita and eight aların 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.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

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 ihe 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 1882-1883 there were 6] schools, employing 687 teachers, and having an enrolled attendance of 40,722 pupils, of whom 21,474 were boys, and 19,248 girls. By the report of the School Census Marshal, June 30, 1883, the number of youth in the city under seven- teen years of age is 78,513, being an increase for the year of 3,133. The number between five and seven- teen who are entitled to draw school money is 57,287, an increase of 1,620 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 14,806, an increase from the preceding year of 617. The last exhibit-of children not attending any school-is worthy of note. The enrollment at the different schools was as follows : High schools- Boys, 339 ; girls, 867; total, 1,206.

The financial condition of the Depart- ment is represented as follows: The city tax for school purposes in the year 1882-83 was .1429 cents on each $100. The total income, including cash on hand at the beginning of the year was $821.045 00, an in- creaae from last year of $56,944 38. The expendi- tures were $791,174 99 ; increase for the year $55,700 38. Cost of instruction per pupil, based on the enroll- ment, and excluding expenditures for buildings, $18 85.
