THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JANUARY 31 1899. TEACHERS DROP FROM THE ROLL School Directors Order Sweeping Changes in the Department. Consolidation Is Finished—Janu-| ary Salaries Will Be Paid in Part—Missionites Appeal in Vain. HE Board of Education completed last night’s work of consolidating classes, transferring, degrading and dismissing teichers of the School Department. The recommendations of Superintendent Webster, urging ninety-eight changes, were unanimously adopted. The Public School Department is now reorganized upon the plan adopted by the present board, and steps will be taken immediately by those that feel thac they have been injured to ssek legal rem:dy in the courts. Those teachers whose status has been changed will test the legality of the action of the board. that were made last e adopted impartially upon a gical basis.

How much property a man will leave when he dies depends largely upon his health. The man who suffers f?om ill- health stands little show of being a suc- cessful business man. The man who comes to his desk in the moming with a head- ache, who suffers all day from dullness and drowsiness, who goes to his meals without an appetite and tosses restlessly through the night without sleep, is not likely to | leave a competence for his widow and or- phans. Success is even more dependent upon health than upon ability. Few men realize these truths, They .think that everything can be accomplished by work, and that heaith is a secondary consideration. Work is useless unless it is good work, and good work is nevér done save by a thoroughly healthy man. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is the best of all health restorers and health pre- servers. It makes the stomach strong and active. Tt sends a man to his meals thor- oughily hungry every time. It facilitates the flow of digestive juices and makes as- similation perfect. It invigorates the liver. It purifies the blood and fills it with the life-giving elements of the food. Tt is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder. It tears down inert, half-dead tissues,and builds new, firm, muscular flesh. It does not build dabby fat like cod liver oil ard does not make people more corpulent. Mr. John Brogks, of Boylston, Mass., writes: “1 write to tell you of the great benefit I have re- ceived from Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov- 1 was iaken with a bad cold which settled ery. on my lungs.

When the Directors again met in public the following report was submitted and adopted: Whereas, The entire amount of money at the | disposal of this board for payment of demands | incurred in January is $90,500, and the total | amount of January salarles of the department, | including rent and labor claims, is $100,000, and | of merchants’ accounts and supplies not less | than 52000, amounting in all to $102,000 and up- ward, so that the mone in hand s insufficlent to pay said demands in full; Resolved, That warrants be forthwith ap- | proved, audited and issued by the board for | 80 per cent of the salary of each employe and teacher of the department, and that the ques- tion whether the board is permltted, by exist- | ing injunction, to pay merchants' and rent | clalms be referred to the City and County At- torne- and upon his advising the board ‘that | they may safely do so, that then the.board do audit and allow said merchants' and rent | claims to the amount of 80 per cent.

Director Stow moved a suspension of the rules to offer the following amend- ment, which was adopted: Resolved, That wue resolution adopted on the 2ith of January, 189, to wit, ‘“‘that teachers who have been_ transferred from te evening schools to the day schools shall be considered as having been appoifted when last trans- * be amended as follows: That teachers have been transferred from the evening schools shall be considered as having been appointed at a date equally dis- tant between the date of her appointment into the department and the date of her transfer to_the day school. The period of such teachers' service in the evening schools shall be credited as the equiv- alent of one-half of similar perfod of service | in the day schools. | This was a partial victory for the | evening teachers after a hard ~-“t in | one of the many secret sessions of the board. As the resolution originally read they would receive no credit for their service in the evening school. Thus, a teacher who had taught one of these classes for several years should | she have been transferred to a day class two months ago would find her- | self dismissed with the batch of last appointees of the late board. The transferred teachers early saw this point and stirred up a force the board could not down, hence the compromise of an amendment to the resolution. In answer to a query as to why the board was indisposed to recognize the professional status of evening schopl teachers, a prominent educator stated that evening schools are without ma- terial standing among educational in- stitutions. The State takes no great account of them, and they are con- sidered only in the light of an accom- modation to a neighborhood rather than a scholastic necessity. Mrs. S. Caldwell requested to be taken from the unassigned. list and placed in charge of a primary class. She stated that she was elected to the School Department in June, 1868, and had been on the unassigned list since August, 1897, and for nearly a year had been on leave of absence. A petition was read from Hayes Val- ley residents protesting against the closing of the John Swett Evening School. The petitions stated that over 300 pupils would be without evening school facilities. Principal E. C. Kilpatrick of the Business Evening School filed with the board a demand for his $100 salary for the month of December. Miss Chris- tine M. High, a teacher of stenography, also filed her demand for $75, salary for January. Relative to the substitute and “‘unas- signed without pay” list, it will be no little meed of hope to the luckless ones to know that their cases will mend every hour. The positions of about eighty-eight teachers will be upheaved in this revolution and forty-one of them will Bo on the substitute list, leaving forty- seven still unemployed. The rules rela- tive to retirements, heretofore a dead letter, will be in the future rigidly en- forced. No old and superannuated teachers will be permitted to encumber the corps. It is believed that about twenty-five will be dropped from the pay rolls annually for this cause. Asa further culling out, a number of “in- competents” will find themselves facing an investigating committee. It is told in rather loud whispers among the edu- cators that so lax have been the re- quirements, both professionally and morally, for election to the School De- partment that undesirable persons have crept into the ranks. These will go rapidiy when the ‘“weeding” time comes. g Marshail Primary, twelve-class brick buildings, $60.008; Sunnyside four-class brick The San Francisco School Teachers’ Soclety met last evening in one of the committee rooms of the Board of Edu- cation to discuss amendments to the teachers’' annuity bill pending in the Legislature. The monthly dues—$1 for day school teachers and 50 cents from those of the evening schools—are not' sufficient for the $50 per month paid to the annuitants. So it was pro- posed that teachers after ten years' ser- vice shall pay into the fund $2 per month and after twenty years’ ser- vice they must pay $3 per month. Another meeting cf the society will be held next Wednesday afternon at 4 o'clock at the Girls’ High School. FORBIDDEN THE PARK. Fournier Gets Into More Trouble ‘With His Motor Cycle. The mounted police of Golden Gate | Park have been instructed to suppress | Henri Fournier, the crack French cy- clist, who came here recently to exhibit his fearful gasoline tricycle. Last Saturday’s Call contained an ac- count of how Fournier got into trouble on an Oakland ferry-boat. - By reason of a rule forbidding the carrying of gasoline or any other explosive “ine’” or “‘ene” on | bay. Fournier has been in the habit of riding his machine in the park since his arrival a week ago, and now he Is refused even this pleasuré. The reason ;given is that the. constant ‘“‘choo, choo, choo” emitted from his machine, like the exhaust of a naphtha launch, is liable to frighten horses. Another reason given is that he travels too fast.” With a machine under him that can travel a mile in less than two min- utes, a- man of Henri Fournier’s tem- perament is not likely to ‘‘mosey” along out to the beach at an eight miles an hour gait. So Henri generally “hits it up” to about two minutes flat. per mile. Result, exit Henri. 5 He-has not been refused permission to ride on the ocean beach drive, however, but to get there he has to go over the ‘Almshouse road and Dewey boulevard, which is not much to his liking, but it is Hobson’s choice with Henri. He may be seen any afternoon now on the Ocean boulevard, spinning along at a breakneck clip, with a string of perspiring bicyelists strung;out behind him in_ the vain endeavor ta follow his pace. they are working themselves to.death Henri puts his feet up on the coasters and enjoys his cigar amid the refreshing breezes that his immense speed creates for him. —_—————— GONE OUT OF BUSINESS.

ROUTED A NIGHT VISITOR PEOPEPROENPEPOPEEEPEOPOPNEOOOEOOPOOOE ®| DISCOVERED HIM IN THE HOUSE AT MIDNIGHT. He Had Secured Booty, but iie Dropped It in His Flight Be- fore an Unarmed Woman, ;- An attempt was made to rob the resi- dence of Gustav Wolf, of. the.firm of ‘Wolf, Wreden & Co., -wholesale liquor dealers, at 1428 Leavenworth street, early vesterday morning, but it was frustrated by the act of Mrs.-Wolf, who rushed after the intruder and drove him to the street. He had secured two valuable watches and a dlamond stud, but these he dropped in his- flight. = Wolf for some time has been out of the clity, and his wife has been alone, except for Miss Ora Lambert, who remained with her Sunday night. About 1 o'clock in the morning’ the lady imagined she heard a noise, and seeing the door which leads to her room open, became convinced that some one was in the house. She walted and make his way to the center of the room. With a bound she was out of bed, and he immediately- made for the door, at the same time ‘throwing the jewelry he had taken back into the room. Down the stalrs both rushed, and when Mrs. Wolf reached the electric button she pressed it and lighted the hall. The bur- glar was then but'a foot or two in front of her, but succeeded in making his es- cape. A special policeman who was at the corrier < of Leavenworth and Jackson streets responded to the woman's cries, but could find no trace of the man. A search was made, and it is likely that he passed up an alleyway on the premises and escaped into another street. rs. Wolf was totally unarmed, and says it was purely impulse which prompt- ed her in following the intruder. Had it not been for her act, however, she might have been minus the valuables he had fn his possession. The open door is evi- dence that he had already ransacked the Yoom and was making his second round. | He had taken silverware from the dining | room, but he had laid it down in the hall | He admitteq | himself to the house by picking the lock | before entering the room. on the front door. ————————— W.
