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 aların, 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 a fire seen at a distance. Do not give an alarm for a burning chimney. Be sure your box is locked before leaving it. Upon a 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 ninety-two crank boxes and eighty-four automatic boxes. An alarm from an automatic box is given by pulling down the hook once and letting go, unerring mechanism doing the rest.

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 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 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 circuits 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 free public schools of San Francisco are the pride of the citizens, and their efficiency attract mauy 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 citizena 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 ending June 30, 1884, there were 61 schools, employing 714 teachers, and having an enrolled attendance of 41,- 942 pupils, of whom 22,283 were boys, and 19,659 girls.
