12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1899. SCHOOL BOARD’S DRASTIC ACTION A Radical Revolution of the Department in Line of Economy. NORMAL STUDENTS WILL GRADUATE All Teachers Appointed Since August Last Dismissed---Twenty-four Classes Consolidated --- Several Schools Closed. The Board of Education at its meeting last night practically revolutionized the School Department, making the most sweeping re- forms. All teachers employed since August 1, 1898, were dismissed, as were all substitute and probationary teachers. The day substitute list was reduced to thirty-five teachers and it will be made up of those consolidated out of their classes. They will be selected by chronolog- ical order of appointment to the department and will be paid only for services rendered. Manusal training was done away with, except in the Polytechnic High School; cooking classes were abolished and the cooking teachers were dismissed. The Superintendentof Schools was given increased power. Classes were consolidated in twenty-four schools. The Normal School will remain open until June 1, but after Feb- ruary 1 the pupils must support it, paying all the expenses, including salaries of teachers, janitor, rent and fuel. Four evening schools were closed and classes in others were con- solidated. After the meeting had been order and the minutes a: tions had been read, Super ster created a decided s ing that the board go 0 sion. He sald there were of the meeting room was packed to the doors, and the overflow filled the adjoin- ing corridor. All through the long they maintained their places of tage with commendable patience.

Before the question was called President Bergerot called Director Head to the chair. The latter put the question, which was carried, and the members of the board retired to thelr committee room. It w I the world like a jury retiring to deliberate upon a verdict in a case where ed about the meeting-place. The followers of the Normal School were jubilant before the meeting, as they had assurances of seven votes for the res- toration of the Normal School. Two Di- rectors had promised to present separate resolutions having this end in view. The pressure that had been brought to bear upon the Directors since the last meeting | had caused them to waver in their deter- mination to close the school.

Architect Havens' plans for the Mission High School for bulkheads, walls, copings, etc., were adopted, and bids will be adver- tised for. The committee on supplies reported that an Inventory had been taken of shop sup- plies and that the stock in most all cases was completely exhausted and there were no tools for workmen to work with. Schools are all out of supplies. The con- solidation of classes will bring about great economy. The position of superintendent of con- struction of Mission High School was de- clared vacant. Scavenger: John O'Connell also lost his Henry Durant School, | job, and John de La Fontaine was elected to succeed him. The City and County Attorney was in- structed to dismiss the appeal in the case olf Kirkpatrick vs. the Board of Educa- tion. The committee on buildings and grounds reported that the members found the school buildings and yards in a deplorable and unsanitary condition and that imme- dlate attention is demanded by the Health Department. Director Holbrook reported for the Finance Committee. He sald that nothing could be done until Judge Seawell decldes the school cases now pending before him. If he sustains the one-twelfth act, the board will have over $500,000 with which to run the department for the ensuing six months. If he decides against it, the board must pay the debts contracted by the last board. This will leave it with funds sufficient to conduct the department for two and a half months. The position of vocal teacher in the Girls" High School was abolished and the teacher dismissed. Director Head moved that the teachers consolidated out of the evening schools be placed on the unassigned list without pay. Adopted. After the committee reports were sub- mitted and the last bomb had been ex- ploded into the crowd of apprehensive teachers the Normal School matter came up. The resolution modifying the board’s action of January 11, and extending the life ‘of the Normal until the present class 1s graduated, provoked the only debate in the proceedings. The secretary read the petition from the guplls, in which they asked to be allowed to graduate and se- cure Normal certificates, and stating they would bear the exgense of maintaining the school to the end of the term. A sup- plemental petition, sl%ned by thousands of taxpayers who asked the board to con- tinue the school on the plan sug‘;;ested by the scholars, was also presented. Dr. H. E. Gedge then offered a resolu- tlon which provides that the Normal School may be kept open by the attend- ants thereof until June 1 at no_expense to the Board of Education after February 1. The opponents of the Normal sought to defeat the resolution by filibustering, raising points of order so rapidly that President Bergerot got mixed on his par- llamentary rulings. After ten minutes’ debate on these points of order, with no reference to the merits of the resolution, it was finally passed by a vote of 7 to 5. The secretary read a batch of communi- cations and protests, which were referred to the proper committees, as follows: The Sunnyside District Improvement Club petitioned for the erection of a twelve-room sohoolhouse -in that 'district. Over one , bundred puplis of the Normal School petitioned the board not to close the school. s Parents of children’attending Jackson pro- ::g‘l“l:l against lheyropoaai- abolishment of the : j Matilda Levy petitioned to be reinstated as teacher in the Denman School. Her petition was signed by taxpayers and pupils. A’ communicatio: containing threat, as follows: K SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13, 1399, Dear 8irs:: There {s a rumor out that the Board of Education is going to let out or re- ‘move Miss Faringrough, one of the best and smarthest of the teachers in the Missfon Gram- mar School. 1f this is so there is bound to: be This letter is on behalf of the pupils of the Mission Evening School and their friends.

Mrs. Lynch applied for a position as| Janitre: The Mission Improvement Union .pro- tested against the proposed abolishment of the school and asked the board to re- tain Professor O'Connor. A subdued titter ran through the as- semblage when the secretary read an ap- plication from a man for a position. He naively wrote that he understood that positions in the department were sold under the former board, but that con- ditions were different under the present regime. At 12:30 o’clock the board adjourned to meet next Monday evening for the con- sideration.of finances. . IN_FULL ACTIVITY Earthquake in the Valley of Mexico Causes an Eruption in the Old Crater.

A glance at the supplies going aboard the United States transport Scandia illustrates this. Here were seen numerous cases of Pommery Cham- pagne which the United States com- missary department was sending to the United States hospital in Manila. The Government, which always pays for the best quality, it was.also learned, has sent another consignment of Pommery to Manila on the United States trans- port Grant, which recently sailed from New York. e FEATHER-WEIGHT BOXERS.
