If you cannot call on these Directors then addre letters to the board and to the Su- perintendent of Education, but best of all go to them in person. f you have grievances against the schools you have a right to lay them before the Board of Education, and they owe you a respectful hearing, which I am confident they will grant you, - And to the honorable Board of Education I repeat what I said to them last Tuesday even- ing: Make it your business to ask every parent you meet who has a child in our public schools what he or she thinks of the methods of in- struction and the manner in which the children are being driven out of the schools by over- work If you really want to learn the truth, ‘hnr!. having learned it, have the courage to apply the remedy. B. C. CUVELLIER, Counciiman at Large. Oalkland, September 9, 155, Dr. J. K. McLean, president of the Pa- clfic’ Theological Seminary, has made a statement in which he says I have served on echool boards in_three States during all my ministerial life. Before coming here I have been connected with the | schools. While 1 have never made a critical mparison of the standard of our schools with those of other cities ] have seen enough of our teachers during the last twenty-six years, and of the result of their work among the hundrede of children of my own congre- gation, many of whom have gone through the whole course from the lowest primary grade 0o graduation in the High School, to give me lll\lxrané:c ":l“lhnurth“h‘m‘?( have been well equipped, and that the work done has be the L{‘hu! character. o In a published statement Hen: A. Schulze of East Oakland says: i He has made a statement which many, if ot all, who send children to the public school now u§ only too true; it is expressed with consideration -and moderation which can be characterized as nelther an abuse, an outrage, an. insult nor a tirade obviously intended only | to right a wrong; it affords wholesome food for meditation and a basis for correcting a system which has many elements of error. The High School Aegis in an editorial say Something like a year ago the amazing dls- covery was m that ‘the Oakland High School was being conducted upon too expensive a plan. As is ueually the case the teachers were made_ to. suffer by having their salaries reduced. The reduction was accepted without any decided remonstrances, and the system of four perfods a day, with four recitations a week, was continued with satigtaction to both students and faculty. During the summer vacation, however, the discovery was made that the school was still an expensive institution. Since the same dis- covery was made a vear previous this latter one may be fittingly dubbed ‘‘Dr. McClymonds’ New Discovery.”" New Discovery" was an allment to be remedled, however, and after a_careful diagnosis rescription ' wus filled which called for the reduction of the teaching force and the five-period system. The system was faithfully tried six weeks and proven a complete failure. Rev. Dr. Coyle strongly defends the present methods and in a signed letter says: As a patron of the public echools of Oak- land will you allow me space for just a word? Thrée of my children are in the Lincoln School now; the eldest two were there and in the High School until two years ago, when they entered Mills College, I havé watched their progress, .interested myself somewhat in their #tudies, watched the influence of the schools upon them, and have only words of praise to write. 3 Certainly my children are not, and never have been, overtaxed. They have Very little home work to do; enlly a; few minutes a day, au the oldest f in the elghth grade. I have felt sometimes that it would not hurt them a bit to press them a little harder. & H 800000000000000008 © For the purchase of (4} |© Adams Point .......$240,000 © ©Q For improving the ° o SBIME wuv wre sens oo oo 50,000 O O For dredging Lake © O Merritt ... .. 80,000 © © For building sewers © o on each side of © © the lake . 38,000 © 9 Fora retaining wall g ! g between Eighth ° ° and Twelfth sts., ° ° estimated .. 7,500 ° g Total $415,500 g [ 000000000000000008 Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Sept. 9. How much backbone is required towith- stand the pleadings of wealthy men? This is the question that was debated before the City Council last night, and it brought | out a few bitter and more personal re- marks. The City Council, which goes out of office next March, has on hand now more schemes for the disbursement of | public money than any other Council even | undertook. Many of these projects are | | being undertaken in sanitary measures, | which were strongly advocated about two | months ago by the Lake Merritt Sanitary | | Improvement Club. This club is composed | of the wealthiest men in the city, who are, of course, the largest taxpayers. They have appeared several times before the Council, and their labors were re- | warded by a unanimous vote to pass the | ordinance appropriating $80,000 for the dredging of the lake.

'DESPAIR DROVE HIM AWAY FROM COLLEGE LOUIS D. RYAN HAS SENT WORD TO HIS FRIENDS. The Berkeley Freshman Who Disap- peared Last Sunday Turns Up in Santa Barbara. BERKELEY, Sept. 9.—Louis D. Ryan, a member of the freshman class of the Uni- versity of California who disappeared mysterfously from Berkeley last Sunday, has at last been heard from. A letter to his roommate, Carlson, was received to- day from Santa Barbara, Htallng that he was quite safe, but had altogether given up the idea of returning to college. yan entered the Unlversity of Califor- nia last August. His whole course at col- lege proved a bitter disappointment to him. He encountered endless perplexities in secking admission as a student in full standing. As the credentials he offered | frcm his preparator; school were not up | to the requisite standard he was placed on | probation for a term. The thought that at the end of that time his record of schol- arship might not be satisfactory to his in- structors worried him a great deal, and he was known to brood over it continually. +This moroseness settled upon his mlnx,\ and last Saturday he gave up in despair. Leaving a_short note of farewell to. his roommate he dJmYpenred quietly, and was not heard from till this morning. His friends in Berkeley kept the matter very quiet until yesterday, when tele- | ams to different friends and relatives afled to give any clew to the whereabouts | of the missing student. This morning’s | mail cleared up the mystery. In his letter | Ryan flieaks of having come to himself again. In a fit of despair he left for the | southern part of the State, finally turning in Santa Barbara. He asked to have u nfl his things forwarded to him, as he had iven up hope of ever returning to Berke- i ey. - Woman Suffragists.
