When the | roll was ca last night the sccretary reported vent ve present. Despite every effort of t Phelanites to bring out the full representation thirty-seven com- | mitteemen—amorg them Max Popper and | Jasper McDonald—declined to grace the occasfon with their presence. What the | convention lacked in numerical strength iu:x\ made good, however, in noise. The tumult began immediately on con- clusion of the rollcall, and there was a v in the storm until the ad- | Journment was declared. | Charles W.

The inference was un- e that the Mayor had prostituted vice to_secure recognition in the convention.

S The joint committee of the Native Sons | of the Golden West having charge of the | celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of | the admission of California as a State | held a meeting last night In Native Sons’ | Hall, Chairman Phelan presiding. There | were present a large number of the rep- resentatives of the several parlors, show- | ing the enthusiasm that is felt by those who propose to make the celebration the grandest that San Francisco has ever seen. The chairman announced that he would within a few days name the most import- ant of all committees, the one that will have charge of the finances. The several | sub-committees presented partial reports. | The committee on decorations announced that it had secured headquarters at 310 | Pine strect, and that it was obtaining | facts and figures as to bunting, electric- | ity for the illumination of the City Hall, ( the ferry building, the Hall of Justice and several other large buildings, togeth- er with other details that will come under its supervision. The committee on ball reported that it favored the giving of a grand invitation- | al ball on the night of the 10th of Sep- | | | tember. The literary committee reported that it would present an outline of its pro- gramme at the next meeting. The committee on naval parade was au- thorized to add George H. S. Dryden and six persons who shall not be members of the order to the committee. The committee on halls and headquar- ters announced that it had secured from the Palace Hotel management four rooms | on the lower floor for use as headquarters, and the committee was authorized to put these quarters into shape at once. It was resolved that any member of a sub-committee who shall absent himself from two successive meetings, except on account of absence from the city or sick- ness. shall be removed from that com- mittee. E. Myron Wolf, 8. V. Costello, J. H. Grady, D. A. Ryan and C. H. Turner were named a special committee to determine the scope of the celebration, that is, the length of its duration and character. The impression prevafled that the Natives should whoop it up for one week. It was decided that the official title of the celebration shall be semi-centennial unh’ern:fv day celebration.

A——— The Bodrd of Education inaugurated a new plan at vesterday's meeting when it refused to adopt the recommendations of the Board of Examination regarding the renewal of primary and grammar grade certificates of school teachers. Hereafter the investigations of the examiners to the legal qualifications of pedagogues will ‘be supplemented by further inquiry on the part of the School Board before the renewals are finally granted. The point was raised by Director Den- man when Deputy Superintendent Kings- bury, who is also secretary of the Board of Examiners, reported that in his last communication he had recommended that the grammar grade certificate of Miss McGreevy be renewed, when in fact it should have been the primary grade cer- tificate. Miss McGreevy is the teacher whom the board suspended for one year for habitual absence and not so reporting to her principal. “I move,” sald Director Denman, “that the recommendations be adopted with the exception of.those relating to primary and grammar grades. 1 want to know the ex- dct status and classification of teachers before their certificates are renewed.” “I desire to state,” said Mr. Kingsbury, “that the Examination Board does not grant certificates to teachers before ob- taining a letter of recommendation from principals. We do not investigate the per- sonal character of any teacher.” Denman demanded the same right to make investigations as the Board of Ex- aminers possessed and the matter went over for one week. The teachers tempo- rarily affected by the new order are: Grammar grade certificates: Mrs. M. L. Cohnreich, Mrs. Blanche 8. Wertheimer, Miss Elsie L, Moraghan, Miss Lydia E. Grafe. Miss A. H. Lyon, Miss E. H. Lyon, Miss P, M. Nolan, Miss Rae Cohen, Mrs! B. L. Macbonald. Primary certificates: Miss Karsky and Miss M. C. Barry. A cop?' of resolutions adopted by the Public Improvement Central Club. which is aMliated with thirty different improve- ment clubs, was read at the meeting and concerns the fight now being made for better textbooks. The resolutions are: Whereas, President Wheeler of the University of California has condemned several of the text- books of the State serfes as unworthy and in- adequate to the modern needs of the schools of the State. Resolved, That the secretary of this club bhe authorized to write to Presidents Wheeler ana Jordan, State Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion Kirk and all presidents of county Boards of Education in reference to the above. A communication was sent by the requesting the: board to give its op[fiizx as to the best plan to be adopted in order that the defects of the present system might be remedied. Consideration, how. ever, was postpbned until the next meet- Sarah ing. f{u. Miehl, a substitute teacher in the department, made an earnest appeal that substitute teachers be paid $10 per month instead of $1 per diem for reporting and $2 50 per dnr when teaching, the present rates recently udug:cd by the board. Mrs, Miehl said that substitutes had been given but elght days' work in May and would not be employed at all during vacatlon, The board decided to hold a special meet- ing on Thursday afternoon to consider the Recovers Small Judgment.
