JOHN SWETT.A Sketch of One of San Fran-

cisco's Earliest Teachers.

The following is a sketch of John Swett,o=e of the earliest teachers of the publicschools of this city, and the candidate of theRepublican party and of the Reform Demo-crats for the office of City Superintendentof Public Schools.

When Mr. Swett was notified by Dr.Cleveland that he had been by a unanimousvote selected as the candidate of the Re-form Democrats, he wrote a letter of ac-ceptance, as follows:

Dr. C. 1). Cleveland— Ueak Sib: Ihasten toreply to voui communication of the llin inst..In wliiciiyou state as a commit lee of one you are

Itelves me great pleasuie to receive this In-formation from youiM'ir, under whom Iservedas a teacher during lie two years Mint you werea School Director. Yours respectfully.

John Swett.San Francisco, Oct. 18, 1890.

Mr. Swetr, though now more than SS yearsof age, still combines the ai<b>r of youthWith the strength of middle age. He hasthe wisdom that couns from thirty-riveyears of educational experience, lie knowsthe schools of the city and of California asprobably no other man can know them ;forbe has been identified with them, withbrief periods of exception, over since; hisarrival on tbe Coast, in the "fifties." Theschool system of the Pacific Coast has grownop from infancy under his observation, andhis skillful, plssUo band lias been fell atevery step of its progress. A glance at afew facts willconvince any reader that Mr.Swett may be truly called tbe father of thegraded school system in San Francisco audCalifornia.

Alter nearly ten ye^rsof successful teach-ing and irganiziog, during which be enjoyedthe warm friendship and confidence ofThomas Starr King iiud others hardly Hsseminent as friends of fduca'i n, he waselected state Superintendent of i'nbiic In-struction. Ivtins capacity he visited almost

every school district in the State. His highideals, his enthusiasm, his wise counsels,his copious ami accurate information, asshown in innumerable lectures, essays, ad-dresses newspaper and magazine articlesaud personal conferences, made a (Icki> im-pression for good upon almost every™rt ofthe commonwealth, On the expiration ofhis term lie was re-elected for four years.Afterward he was a third time a candidate,and was defeated, although running aheadof his ticket some 2(i00 votes.

His work as State Superintendent gavehim a national reputation. Probably noCalifornia educator stands' higher in theestimation of intelligent and thoughtful menin the istei nStates. Inany large gather-ing of eminent teachers iv America, hewould receive conspicuous honor. He isknown as the man who drafted what issubstantially th« present California schoollaw, the provisions of which have beenadopted in many other States. Under hisguidance State certificates were issued,teaching was recognized as a profession, theodious rate-bill was abolished, teacherswere made to feel the essential importanceand dignity of their work when rightly per-formed, and the wearying aud worrying an-nual examinations of teachers of provedability were abolished. lie started andedited the first educational journal on thisConst, and was mainly instrumental in or-ganizing the first teachers' associations.

After his oflicial terms as State Superin-tendent be was lor three years principal ofthe Denman Grammar School, lie then be-came Deputy City Superintendent. Itthisposition he labored successfully to establishfree evening schools, In 187G he began hiscareer as principal of the large high schoolfor girls, one of San Francisco's noblest in-ntitutions. In this school lie originated audfostered the invaluable Normal DepartmentFor thirteen years, till his resignation, betilled this position of principal with rarefidelity,ability and success. To many hun-dreds of the graduates of this school his nameis very dear, for probably no man in Califor-nia has done more to train and inspire thou-sands of young ladies to lives of usefulnessand honor. His gin d influenco is still felt inthat great school and willnot toon die out.Itis fortunate for the cause of education

that Mr. Swett has put some of his bestthoughts into permanent form. His text-books are fullof common sense and notedfor their concise and attractive style. His"Methods of Teaching" has bad-an extra-ordinary circulation, and is used in nearlyevery Important normal school in America,England and Australia. His '•

School Elo-cution," "Examination Questions," "Nor-mal Word Book," "History of the PublicSchool System in California," etc., arefamiliar as household words among many ofthe most disti^nislied teachers.

A Great EventInone's lifeis the discovery of .1remedy for ,--some- long-standing malady. Tlie poison ofScrofula is in your blood. You inherited itfrom your ancestors. Will you transmit itto your offspring? In the great majorityof cases, both Consumption and Catarrh orig-inate inScrofula. Itis supposed to be theprimary source of many other derangementsof the body. Begin at once to cleanse yourblood with the standard alterative,

Ayer'sSarsaparilla

"For several months Iwas troubled withscrofulous upturns over the whole body.My appetite was bad, and my system soprostrated that Iwas unable to work. Aftertrying several remedies in vain, Iresolvedto take Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and did so withsuch good effect that less than one bottlo

Restored SViy Healthand strength. The rapidity of the cure as-tonished me, as Iexpected the process tobolong and tedious."

—Frederico Mariz Fer-

nandez, Villa Nova de Gaya, Portugal.'•For many years Iwas a. sufferer from

i scrofula, until about three years ago, when Ibegan the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, sincewhich the disease has entirely disappeared.Alittle child ofmine, who was troubled withthe same complaint, lias also been cured bytills medicine."— H.Brandt, Avoca, Nebr.
