Director Ragan Accuses His Ac- cuser of Gross Ignorance of School Affairs, HIS BAD ADVICE WAS OFTEN HEEDED. i Much Incensed, They Reply That Webster Himself Seleoted the Texthooks, | School Superintendent Webster has thrown down the gauntlet and the Board | of Education picks it up. The resunltis | be thoroughly ventilated, whether some ambitious reformer tries to oust them or | whether they remain in office undisturbed. | In yesterday’s CALL exclusively Super | intendent Webster made a lengthy state- | ment on the school book question, | wnersin he censured the Board of Educa- tion for adopting the books that caused so | much discussion. Incidentally he charged { the board with extravagance, political job- bery, nepotism and other sins. It so happens that some of the cit | directors in matters educational are gi diators of long experience, and when they felt their brawny arms this morning they decided to measure their steel with the | superintenden | Dr. D. F. Ragan was one of the wost | outspoken members seen. When he felt the sting of Matador Webster’s darts he sprang into the ring like a nervy Spanish animal, ready to gore tne first thing in sight. He and the other direc- tors, while expressing great respect for the Superintendent’s erudition, were frank enough to say they did not believe he knew much about grammar and pri- mary grades and their requirements. Dr. Ragan gazed intently at his life di- ploma as a teacher while he spoke, re- calling that it was earned by ten years’ service as a teacher. The recollection of pedagogic experiences gave him new i | | 1s man’s charges come in bad taste view of the fact that our greatest sin us been in deferring to bis judgment as to the course of study, instead of con- sulting other teachers and goingz more on | our own'ideas. lam surprised at the at- utude of the Superintendent towar members of the School Board,with whom | he has apparently been working in per- i fect barmony, the more so bacause his wishes have been consulted and his judg- | ment deferred toin every matter concern- | ine tae adoption of books. I can only venture the suggestion that | he is piqued because the board ventured | to reconsider his provosed course of study, ! { ur that he is no longer able to hide the | fact that he is the emissary ot an element | | i known to be hostile to the present board. He knows the man whose agent it is gen- erally believed he 1 “To reply to accusations more specificaily, let me say that the selection of the books was made on the advice of | such men as himself and State Superin- | tendent Black, especially in the matter of mental arithmetic and word analysis. *‘He says many teachers have been ap- pointed in payment of personaland politi- cal debts. Let me say that the rules re-| garding the employment of substitnte teachers are the same as they have been | for years. Last year there were thirty | hired, as appears by the record of the | secretary. It is also seen that the last board suspended the rules and appointed | foriy-eight, which number came to us as an inheritance. We cut this down to thirty-six, the present number, There are | a thousand employed in the department, ! and it seems to me that a substitute listof | about 2 per cent is all right, for some of | the teachers are always unable to work. “As to his charge of extravagance in the labor field, it 13 apparent that Mr. | Webster's knowledge of the labor depart- ment is just as vague and limited as is his | assistant’'s knowledge of matters educa- tional. Relative to the appointment of people in payment of political debts some- | thing might be said regarding Mr. Stone’s | engagement as assistant. “The Superintendent puts his foot in it | when he says the unassigned teachers | ought to do the work of the substitutes. | There are only six unassizned teachers. | Two are ill, two away on leaves, and two | i i | are so 1ncompetent that the board will probably move for their dismissal. The charge that the unassizned cost money savors of viciousness, for they do not araw vpay. “What the Superintendent says about the employment of useless teachers in the evening schools shows his ignorance of the affairs of the department. There are 1200 more pupils in these schools than there were in August last year. He him- self consented to the emplorment of twenty-five in graded clasces and fifteen in the ungraded or mixed divisions. He also concurred that more attention ought tobe peid to this line of work. This change of the sytem, in connection with the opening of district eveningsc ools, practically compeiled the employment of | many extra teachers, as the most casnai | study of the subject will show. The Superintendent ought to know thatthe | increace alone would really require about forty-eicit teachers, but we havecutit | down below that. T “The charga of nepotism is very trifling. I have a sister in the department. Iam | glad of it and I know of no reason why she is not entitled to be there. He says some old emploves are chagrined because others have gone shead of them. Ido not know of any old emplove (with em- phasis on the old) who is chagrined, un- less it be one of Webster's superannuated favorites, a man;whom the Superintendent has been trying to have the board pro- mote on account of his great knowledge of the law of gravitation, 2 gentleman who, 80 the wise ones say, is the real author of the present course of study. This old favorite baunts the Superin- tend&nt’s sanctum like a perturbed spirit doomed to eternal disappoiniment, & picture of infinite svffering and woe. “*We bave never violated our own laws, except when we have suspended the rules in the regular and suthorizea way. The Superintendent put Dote’s American Citi- zen, Pacific History Stories, Ward’s Busi- ness Forms and other books on the list without consulting us in any manner whatever. “I never said that the Superintendent had confessed that he made the list, but Barrington and Carew tola 'me he was going to write a defense of himself and the board.” Director Drucker was much incensed | | | | right fore foot S8aturday, making a wicked- | | not touch his foot to the ground until he | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, over the whole matter. In regard to nepotism, he said: “My sister is an experienced teacher, as he would have learned, had he investigated. She bas been in the school wuere she 1s vice-prin- cipal for four years. She was recom- menced by well known teachers iu_the schools and in the State University. 1see no reason why a Director shon!d be barred from having a relative in the department.” Director Carew was particalarly sorry bis name wes dragged into the matter, for be said he had nothing to say againstMr, Webster. “I never tried to saddle any blame on him. He made up the booklist without consulting me, and I was not present at the meeting I am accused of helping to manipulate. I introduced a resolution tha: the heart-culture book be not adopted if they were to be any ex- vense to the department. I have always opposed the heart-cuiture books anyhow.,” Directors Ragan and Drucker say that Mr, Carew has always been the most modest of ail thedirectors regarding the promotion or appointment of relatives to positions, though he has two daughters who are teachers. They say that the ap- pointment of these young ladies was with- out the request of their father. Both are rraduates of the Normal School, The sense of the majority of the board is that the relations between themselves and the superintendent will hereafter be somewhat strained. It is not unlikely that Dr. Ragan will make a motion to have Mr. Webster arise and explain some of his charges, and it is likely, also, that there will be a lively debate and many eches on questions of privilege, “Iam very sorry now,” said Director Drucker, “that we did not consult some of the principals whom we knew to be our ds before we adopted the cat and | dried list furnished by Webster. e know where we stand now, and from this time henceforth we will act along differ- ent lines and the prblic will know where to bestow either praise or blame."” SKYBALL'S GAME RFFORT Some Excellent Sport Tapped at the Ingleside Cours- ing Park, Sullivan's Flying Buck and Mercy May Divide the Money in the Original Stake. Game old Skyball ran three courses on three legsin the consolation stake at Ingle- side yesterday, but after getting an acci- dental bye in the fourth ties, was forced to succumb to Wayfarer in the final Cronin’s big brindie ran a sliver in his | looking wound, which was 80 sore he could caught a glimpse of the hare scuddink across the meadow, and then he forgot all about his hurt. The spori began in ihe morning with the second ties of the original stake, begun Saturday, that and the third ties being run off betore luncheon. In the aiternoon the onsolation stake, with the fourth ties and al of the other match, was decided. A trong lot of hares was turned loose in the forenoon and several slips resulted 1n “no goes.” The surprise of the Original stake was the fast work of Mercy May, who ran all around Diana, the 4 to 1 iavorite in the third ties. In the foarth Flying Buck defeated Magnet, leaving the Mira Monte nnels to divide first and second money, and $50, between Flying Buck and Mercy May. 'There was general rejoicing over Mr. Sallivan’s double victory, as no man on the coast has done more than he 1o promote the sport in Caliiornia. The other winners were Magnet, third, $30; Diana, fourth, $17 50; Santa, Alecia, fifth, $17 There were several exceedingly pretty contests in the consolation stake and two or three dogs that were looked upon as sure winners proved sore diseppointments to their admirers. Some of the hares cut | loose were of the mongrel order and one actually died of heart failure or stage | fright or something else before the dogs | could pick him up. In the third ties Lord Byron went lame and was withdrawn, giving Skyball an ac- | cidental bye and putting Royal Buck | against Wayfarer, the latter winning with | comparative ease. Tue winners, with the amounts placed to their credits, are as fol- lows: Wayfarer, first, <y ball, sec- | ond, Royal Buck, third, $15; | Terorna, fourth, $10; Lord Byron, fiith, $10; Wildflower, sixth, $10.

Congressman James G. Maguire made the lone speech, which 250 people heard yesterday afternoon in the delightrul course of the thirteenth annual bulls- head breakfast of the Iroquois Club at San Leandro: His address was forcible in thoughtand style and it was brief, but it was long enough for him to give the Federal judi- ciary a “roast.” When he rose he was cheered as ‘‘the next Governor.” He said something nice about the abundant purpling grapes which spread as a great roof above all the long tables which he found in Landlord God- chaux’s garden, and he used “splendid history’* in referring to the Iroquois Club. “Never in history have the principles of Democracy been put to a severer test than to-day, or needed stronger championship or more faithful devotion than now,” he said, bursting quickly into politics. *“The theory of Democracy is not that the peo- ple are always right or wise, but that they have a right to govern, whether wisely or unwisely, What is rthe aspiration of Democracy ? Itisaiwaysandeverywhere a struggle for popular rights against the special privileges of the few. “When in this Jand the principles of constitutional government are being turned down by a branch of the Federal Government not elected by the people, but appointed for life for a special ana useful purpose; when the Federal judiei- ary, that branch of the government created to interpret laws made by the sovereign people endeavors to create laws, 1 care not how wisely they may deter- mine that such laws shoula be made, the great body of the people must raise its voice and make it beard. The consti- tution is the great law of the United States and measures the powers of the Federal Government. “There can be no laws excapt those made by the representatives of the people, and any attempt to make :aws other than by the constitutional law-making poweris a step to overthrow popular government in this coantry, and calls on the Dem- ocracy, the anchor of the people’s hope, to stand by and make it impossible for the Federal judiciary to override the wishes of the people and go beyond its functions and legislate against the peoples’ rights. This is but one of the great questions now being forced to the front Ly the enemies of popular government."” As for the annual Iroquois bullshead breakfast, it was never surpassed in the annals of the club, either for the juicy tenderness of taurine _cheeks, = the picuancy of red sauce and red beans:or the average repute and nicety of the party. It was a nice and quiet time, greatly en- their friands on a perlect September day. They flocked to the resoriupto 1 ». M. by the aid of steam and electricity, and at this hour of the day the open pit was un- covered, the grim and smoking heads came off the glowing coals and the feast. ing in ibe big grape arbor began amid music and jolliiy. This is one of the three annual social affairs of the club, the other two being a banquet on the night of Washington's birthday and a spring pienic. This year brought no great change in tha list of old club stand-bys, who bossed things and were to be noticed generally. Max Pop- per, J. J. Flynn, Louis Metzger, Secretary Dan Gordon, H. L. Bienfield and E. P. E. Troy kept eyes on affairs, as did Dr. W. J. Bryan, Charles Gildea and L. V. Merle, who made themselves conspicuous by bustling about and seeing that everybody had wine and good nature. Dr. Rottanzi, the resurrected Saper- visor, was there with his gray sombrero, and Jefferson G. James was there with enormous diamonds. -Tlirst Vive-Presi- dent Thomas Walsh was master of cere- monies, and George H. Cabaniss was one of those who had a speech ready when the brief post-prandial exercises ended that the dance might begin. L. P. Waller and his talkative son, School Direcior Sam L. Waller, were there, as were ex-Senatox Mead of the Mintand P. F. Dundon, with swile and beard. and there were others. There was but litile political gossip, but there will be more at the next one. YI was recalled that there are now twelve Ircquois clubs in California and that thers are but two others, one in Chicago and one in New York. The first Demo- cratic club by this name was organized in Chicago, and the second ane, the par- ent of the others 1n this State, was organ- ized here thirteen years ago. IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE. sfield Council Held Its First Outing at Shell Mound Yesterday. The first annual picnic and excursion of Sarsfield Council of the Irish National League was held at Shell Mound Park yesterday and the attendance was fairly large.

Oaptain Sonerud Will Command the La Ninfa—News of the Marion, Oregon and Wheeling, 1t has got to be a pretty dull trip when an American vessel bound to this port from New York does not bring to waiting ears a tale of woe. The American ship Cyrus Wakefield arrived here yesterday from New York, and, true to precedent, brought the news of a stabbing affray. The Wakefield, F. J. Henry master, was out 131 days, and has a general cargo con- signed to J. F. Chapman & Co. On August 18 Louis Roland, a seaman, got into an altercation with Thomas Marks, second mate, during which the latter was stabbed and has since been con- fined to Lis berth in a critical condition, but lately has progressed well and will probably recover. Roland was placed in irons and kept in that condition until he reached here. The ship entered port with ber flag flying from the mizzen rigging and was boarded by Officer Ferguson of the harbor police, who took Roland to the statipn and booked bim ou the charge of assault to murder. He will te turned over to the Federal autlorities to-morrow. Roland’s wrists are fearfully swollen and cut by the irons. He says that he was lying near the main batch about 8 P. M., in company with two other sailors, when the mate asked him if he were re- sponsible for the overturning of a can of oil on the forward deck, and upon his de- nying that such was the case the mate called bim a vile name aund choked him, whersupon the knife was used in self- deiense. Captain Sonerud of La Ninfa has re- considered his determination to resign, and that vessel will be cleared for Copper River, Alaska, to-morrow, with the ex- pectation of getting away Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. There will be forty-four sharenolders sail on her, and perhaps forty-five, as it is expected that another will join this morning. Lizzie Zimmern:an, alias May Hall, was brought to the Branch Receiving Hospital at 1 A. M. yesterday from the corner of Broadway and Dupont suffering from car- bolic acid poisoning. She was treated by Drs. Hartley and Prentice and was soon all right, with the exception of a badly | burned mouth and face. Verv little of the poison had been swal- lowed. Aboutfour monthsago the woman took poison and was treated at the Re- ceiving Hospital. She seems to be suffer- ing frcm despondency, A peddler named John McCarthy, claims to have been living at 103 Mont- gomery avenue, came to the nospital Weeping and was ejected without cere- mony. The woman says her parents live on Cortiand avenue in the Mission. The steam schooner President sailed for St. Mictae! yesterday morning. On board her were the two larze scows, intended for river service, which have been building on the buikhead between Harrison and Folsom street wharves. Before she sailed Captains Iields and Taylor went aboard and adjusted her compasses with Fields’ polorus. The United States warship Marion came in from Honolulu yesterday, a twenty- four days’ trip. Sue sailed all the way here, but the reason why could not be ob- tained as the vessel proceeded directly to Mare Island. The gunboat Wheeling came down from Mare Isiand and anchered in the stream vesteraay. She will sail soon for San Diego, and it is believed will go from that port to Alaska. Crowds kept al! the launches and small boats busy yesterday in going to and from the Oregon.
