Now, whatever is done In the way of change, history in this State as well as in oth- ers, make it mandatory that nothing shall in- terfere with the business authority of local | boards. The authority of local boards has justly be- eome recognized as the safeguard of the pub- Iic school. But there is a place for supervision, neverth under certain limitations. The chief w of the local boards can be al- 5 1y traced to their incompetency to handle the professional side of supervision. Trustees are business men, but as such they are manifestly incompetent to fulfill dutles which require pedagogic Insight Into the technical side of education and they simply play the part of the bull in the China shop in determin- ing the pedagogic qualifications of teachers, in assignment and classification, In the arrange- ment of courses of study.

He deplored this and said that State money should be expended for the support of secondary as well as primary schools. The useful-| ness of secondary schools should be broadened and such schools as the Lick School should be in the reach of every | community in the State. The speaker's | concluding argument was_infavor of a more Intelligent system of school legls- | lation, and as it was now bills were rlued with the sole design of ralding the reasury. in the interest of some individ- ual or local constituency, and sorae bills | were bad through the ignorance of the lawmakers. | | *“What is here needed,” declared the speaker, “in the existence of some competent and digni- fled body, protected by authority of law, to which should be referred, for careful prepara- tion, all school legislation and the just appor- tionment of funds required for the support of each department or institution of the public school system.

BAN RAFAEL, Dec. 26.—Enthusiasm over the success of his more noble- blooded compatriots of Carlise in yesterday's football match resulted in very eerfous damage to Frank Burns, a Digger Indian of this place, to-day. Burns entered a local saloon and over a soclal stein there arose an altercation, which ended in a scrimmage between the red man and his white compan~ fons. Burns attempted to f{llu ate the manner In which the young bucks “buck the line.” The illustration was taken serfously and the battle raged up and down the barroom gridiron. Burns was, finally tackled while mak- ing a brilllant home run and became the central figure of a bloody scrim- mage. After the game Judge Gardner, acting as referee, gave the decision in favor of the damaged Indian, who was afterward removed to the Recelving Hospital, and, on his reappearance with sixteen stitches in his face, was greeted in true college style with “Rah-rah-rah! California!" Warrants have been issued for the arrest of M. Kelly and T. Keighoof, the victorious team, and they probably will celebrate their victory in jall. Late this evening the Indian was compelled to take to his bed, and It is feared he is Injured internally.

Purpose Is to Repudiate the Impres- sion That America Is in League With Great Britain. Initial steps were taken last evening to | solidify the svmpathy in this city and vi- cinity efforts of the different societies who de- sire to extend financlal and moral sup- port to the people of the Transvaal. A meeting was held last night at the head- quarters of the Transvaal committee in the Phelan bullding, which was at- tended by representatives of all the dif- ferent organizations that believe the Boers are fighting in a just cause. It was decided, after considerable ar- gument, to hold & mass-meeting at Met- ropolitan Temple, Baturday, January 6. Mayor Phelan will be asked to preside, and among those who are expected to make addresses are ex-Judge Ferral and John P. Irish. One of the purposes of the gathering will be to let the world know that this section of the country re- pudiates the assertions that the United Btates is in league with Great Britain in the present struggle. Another object is to get an expression from the people as to their ideas of raising funds for the re- lief of the wounded Boers and the widows and orphans of those who have fallen in battle. Whatever money may be ralsed is to be placed in the hands of the Red Cross Soclety operating in the Transvaal. It was also determined upon to organize a woman’'s auxillary to co-operate with the men who are Interested in the mass- meeti movement. A. F. Groh, presi- dent of the Holland Soclety, presided, and K. P. Van Baggen of the Transvaal committee of the Netherlands Soclety Wilhelmina was the secretary. The foi- lowing were appointed to act on the com- mittee of arrangements: G. Marsily, Dr. John F. Gibbon, R. P. Troy, Rev. H. T. Shepard, 8. Voorsanger, F. Hus, A. F. | Groh, L. C. Cnopius, D. C. Henny, C. Willems, E. T. Carvalho, L. K. P. Van Baggen. It s proposed to make the singing of the Transvaal national hymn in the na- tive language by the German singing so- cieties of the city one of the features of the mass-meeting. Among the Boer sym- athizers who attended last night's_meet- ng were: Jeremiah Deasy, Joseph Dreckles, Frank Hus, .Flora Langhead, Helen Edith Grey, John Malhern. (!eor G. J. Marsily. R. P. Troy, M.
