Topic, ““Echoes of the Convention.” FOR A PARK AND I00. fered by Baldwin & How- ell. Meeting to Advocate This Scheme. Skyrockets, bonfires, calcium lights, a band of music and an illuminated and decorated electric streetcar with a brass band and a big drum were the attractions which drew people to the Sunnyside slope | last night. President Eugene Dasse had left nothing undone to promote the suc- ress of the meeting and at 8:30 o’clock Dasse’s Hall on Circuiar avenue held 500 persons of both sexes who flocked there to show their appreciation of the movement to locate a ceniral park and zoological garden in their section of the City. The electric illuminated and decorated car that bad been sent out at7o’clock from Sunnyside to the ferry and out the of Lakeview and Ingzleside, Fairmouat, Ocean View, Holly Park, Mission Five- | mile and Noe Valley Improvement Clubs where they were received and welcomed by President Dasse on behalf of the Sun- nyside Improvement Ctub, ihe meeting was ovened by Eugene Dasse, who in a few well-chosen words stated the objects of the mass-meeting. He introduced Daniel Sullivan of Bernal Heights Ciub, wno spoke of the necessity of baving a vark and zoological garden in the Mission district. T. V. O'Brien, an attorney and one of the original movers for the Mission park | and zoological collection, spoke at consid- erable length, giving his views on the ad- ntages to not only the people of the Mission, but to the whoie City, of having | such a collection located in the district | offered to the Supervisors, He instancea the venefits which the Mission derived in days gone by when Woodward’s Gardens drew the attencion | oi the people to that place. Since its dis- continuance the Golden Gate Park has be- come the center of attraction, and as a consequence property that was worth | nothing comparatively speakin: a few years ago, is now listed on the real-estate market as being among (the most valu- able 1n the City. J. L. McLaughlin, president of the Fair- mount Club, and D. Toohy of the same club followed in the same lines. Charles W. Pope, the ag2nt of A. Sutro, gave his views on the subject, which were in perfect harmony with thosz of the pre- vious speakers, Secretary John Barrett of the Sunny- side Club offered the following resolu- tions, which were adopted: At a joint meeting of the Sunnyside District Improvement Club, Lakeview and Ingleside Improvement Club, Fairmount Improvement Park’ Improvement Glub, Mission Five-mile Improvement Club, Noe Valley Improvement Club and the properiy-owners of the Castro- street Aadition ana San Jose road, held tnis | evbning, it was resoived that the honorable the Board of Supervisors of the Cily and County of S8an Francisco is hereby petitioned 10 purchase for the purpose of a Mission park and zoological gardens the property offered 10 them, Iying between Thirtieth street, Sun- nyside, the Fairmount Tract and the Stanford Heights Addition. 1t was farther resoived that it was the sense of said meeting that said property is in every way suitable for the purpcse of & park and a zoological garden snd that the same can be improved and beautified economically, and that the yearly cost of keepiug th.same asa PArk can be easily provided for in the annual appropriation for Golden Gate Park. It was further resolved tnat the Mission and the outiyiug disiricts are entitled to more cousideration than they are now receiving from the City, and in consideration of the | paying anuually we are fuily entitied to the expenditure necessary to purcnase the above property and to maintain it as a park and zoological garden. And it was iurther resolved that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded 1o the Honor- able the Board of Supervisors, —_— A Sailor Injured.

Directors Derham and Armer Speak Plainly Regarding the Board's Actions. According to Director Derham of the Board of Education, there is a job on foot to create positions for twenty-six friends of the majority in the board by ousting that number of teachers, who have been reported as unsatistactory by the princi- pals under whom they work. The law requires that twice yearly—in June and December—principals must re- port to the Superintendent of Schools where there is anything to b desired in the ability of teachers, either as instruct- ors or disciplinarians. Ubp to the present such reports were disposod of without much detriment to the teachers or noise among the Directors; but the majority in the present board has shown a disposition to create places for friends, and these re- ports hava been seized upon as a pretext. Contrary to the usual custom, Superin- tendent Webster made a digest and sent copies of it to each of the eight Directors who are on committees that have any powers in the matter. The list con- tained seventy-two names, and the report is as follows: Miss A. H.

Have iried in every way to help her, but she never has been aud never will be a teacher. Her classes xo 1o her bright, wide awake, and in a few weeks they are dull, inactive, and, in fact, “water-logged.” Cannot give her another grade, as pupils older notice her geculmr men- ner and take advantage of it. She could not take the beginners. Her peculiar mauner is against her in the yard and halis. Kecps isirly good order in lier own classroom, but it is the order that comes from inactivity. I re- specttully request that the Classitication Com- mittee look into this case.—M. E. Kesting, principal, July, 1897 Mrs. S. D. Cooper of Golden Gate Primary—I have been over thirty-ihree years at this work in San Francisco, and this has been the most unpleasant day I have ever had, on account of prrents demanding that their children be re- moved from Mrs. Cooper’s class. Out of pity for the children who were under her and not promoted last year—rather, this school year— Ihave broken up the ciass as much as pos- sible and put up on trial those of ability who would have been promoted under an average | teacher. Siill, I cannot take them all from her class, and I have been besieged more or less all any. In this neighborhood the parents areintelligent, and some declare they will re- | move their caildren if leftin Mrs. Cooper’s | class. 1 have bozged them to see the | Board of Education, but they prefer to re- move their ehildren, which will greatiy injure my school. 1 have promised that if Mrs. Cooper remains I will take charge of the class myself, thus putiing off the troubic. Now I write to beg you to use your influence to get Mrs. Cooper removed. 1 believe she has al- ways before the year just closiug taughtin grammar schools, which is a very different | kind of work. Besides being an ineflicient | teacher, Mrs. Cooper is both impertinent and disobedient to me; therefore should not be left here. If she is removed I assure you of the undying gratitude cf Aurelia Griffitn, Principal. July 18, 1897. Miss A. E.

I would most respecifully ask your commiltee to take under your invorabie consideration my rcquest that Miss M. A, Har- rigan, teacher of the lourth grade, be trans- ferred from my school. Her discipiine is very unsatisiactory, aithough I have coustantly atmed 10 assist her in every possible way. | She has become very unpopuiar with the par- | entsand to such a” degree tuat many hav made personal and writien spplication to me not to {ulncc their children under her instruc- tion. Whether this feeling i1s well founded I do mnot deem 1t proper o say, but it exists and offers a serious barrier 1o the proper clussification of my school each year. Miss Harrigan 1s erratic in her discipline, lacks judgment and tact on governing the childrén and thereby an- tagonizes childrea and parenis.

This list nor the supplementary notes was not supvosed to be made public in any way, but it leaked out that chances were in contemplatioz, the reports to be used as excuses for the same, and then there was a general roar. A number of teachers who knew that their names were on the list called at the Board of Education yesterday to learn what there was in the reports, and were assured that the matter would pe fully investigated before any action was taken, and that it would depend somewhal on the tenor of previous repor.s whether any changes were made. # Director Derham speaks in plain terms what he deems the board’s object is in contemplating cnanges. “‘This is simply a plan to make vplaces for the friends of the majority in the Board,” he said. “The Solid Nine has ruied things ever since we went into office with a high hand and I have no doubt this job will go through like the rest. There is no end to the raw work of this board and those directors who try to do the aury for which they were elected are prevented from doing it by the methods of the majority . “It may be that some of these teachers should be transferred or removed, but wheiuer they are guilty or innocent they will be turned out, if the majority dares to do it, simply because their positioas are wanted.’ Director Armer is also outspoken and declares that the operations of the majority are shameful. He cites the in- stance of a sister of Director Drucker, who was placed on the unpaid substitute list recently and in less than thirty days was promoted to a vice-principalship at $100 per month, when dozens of more com pe- tent teachers, who bad long been waiting for positicns, were overlooked. The reports will come up at the next meeting of the board. The iollowing 1s self-explanatory: OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF COMMON SCHOOLS, SAN FRANCISCO, July 24, 1897, To the Kditor of the Cail—DEAR SIR: Permit me, in rejerence to the adverse reports on the qualifications of eachers which have recently found publication, to quote the rule of the Board of Education under which the reports of principals as to the efficiency of teachers are required: Section 62 (sub. 8.): “Duties of principals.” “To make a written report to the Superinten- dent 1n the month of June each year asto the efliciency wnd snccess of the teachers in their schools. Such reports shall be submitted to the committee having cnarge of such schools.” In accordance with the rule quoted above the reports were made, copies drawn and filed with the prover commitiees by the Superin- tendent as required, their contents otherwise mrintained s secret. ‘Not having been able to make an extended investigation of schocls before the termina- tion of the school year owing to brief occu- pancy of office, the Superintendent has made Do report whatever on efliciency of teachers, and any statement otherwise is made under a misapprehension.

Peter Magerus, proprietor of the Ala- meda lodging-house, 147 Third street, sturtled people in that locality last night about 10 o’clock by rushing into the street shouting and throwing his arms wildly about. Policemen Beamer and O'Meara were attracted by the crowd and the noise, and when Magerus saw them coming he ran back into the house followed by the offi- cers. They cauzht bLim on top of the stairs and grabbed hold of him. He fought desperately, trying hard to bite the officers, and it was with the utmost difficulty that they succeeded in putting the handcuffs on bis wrists. He continued to fight all the way to the Receiving Hospital in the patrol-wagon, and in his madness bit a piece out of the cushion that was under his head. He was locked up in a padded cell. Magerus wus arrested Thursday might for throwing a man downstairs in his lodging-house. The charge against him was ‘‘assault to do great bodily harm.”’ The case was dismissed by Judge Joachim- sen I'riday, as it was shown that Magerus acted in sell-defense —_———— BEER AND CIGARETTES. Intern.l Revenue Tax Increased on Both These Articles. Acting Collector of Internal Revenue Thomas received a dispatch from the Treasury Department yesterday morning announcing that the tariff bill had passed, and that the discount on beer stamps had been revoked.

Under the new rule the tax will be $1 per barrel straight. :\Pns San Francisco Breweries Company on the day before bouzht a large quantity of stamps and thereby saved a large sum of money. Mr. Thomas was also notified that he should not sell any more cigarette stamps until the new stamps were received from the Treasury Department from Washing- ten. The tax on cigarettes hus been raised from 50 cents perthousand to $1 per thousand. ———————— Death of Major Stees. On the 9th inst. Major Charles J.
