GENERAL REVIEW.

Public Schools.

The annual report of James Denman, Superintend- ent of Public Instruction, is an elaborated compila- tion of facts and figures that ought to be read by every head of a family, as well as those who are interested in the rising generation. The report informs us that from a feeble beginning of two teachers and less than one hundred pupils, the de- partment has swelled its numbers to over three hundred teachers and nearly twenty thousand scholars. This is unparalleled in the history of civ- ilization, and should cause every citizen to feel a just pride in these evidences of our prosperity and future greatness. The Board of Education has the entire control of the school department. It is composed of twelve Directors, one-half of whom are elected annually, to serve two years. They receive no compensation. The Superintendent is ex officio ad- visory member of the Board. He is elected by the Board of Education and Board of Supervisors con- jointly, and receives for his services $4,000 per an- num. He is very earnest to make the school de partment of San Francisco second to none in the United States. The following is a comparative statement of the daily attendance of all the public schools from 1852 to 1869, being a period of seven- teen years: 1852, 445; 1853, 703; 1854, 1,011; 1855, 1,484 ; 1856, 2,516; 1857, 2,155; 1858, 2,521 ; 1859, 2,829 ; 1860, 2,837 ; 1861, 3,377 ; 1862, 3,794 ; 1863, 4,389 ; 1864, 5,470; 1865, 6,718; 1866, 8,131 ; 1867, 10,177 ; 1868, 11,871; 1869, 13,113. Sub- joined is a statement of the yearly expenditures of the department since 1852 to the present time :- 1852, $23,125 ; 1853, $35,040; 1854, $159,249 ; 1855, $136,580; 1856, $125 064 ; 1857, $92,955; 1858, $104,808; 1859, $134,731 ; 1860, $156,407 ; 1861, $158,855 ; 1862, $134,567 ; 1863, $178,929 ; 1864. $228,411; 1865, $346,862; 1866, $361,668 ; 1867, $507,822 ; 1868, $376,392 ; 1869, $400,842, making a total expenditure, in seventeen years, of $3,662,307 freely given by our enlightened citizens, as an offering on the altar of learning ; and it is pleasing, from the Superintendent's present report, to learn that the munificence of our people has been duly ap preciated, and their efforts in the cause of education crowned with success. The Superintendent says, in his report : " At no time in the history of our public schools has the instruction of the Grammar department been more practical and thorough than during the year which has just closed. The pupils acquitted themselves well in all the different studies and reflected great credit on their efficient instruct- Org." This is, indeed, a pleasing report.
