The record is clear that the convention did notappoint a com- mittee. Minutes of the secretary and newspaper accounts written at the time the convention adjourned make no refer- ence to the committee.

Alva Watt claimed that he appointed the committee under authority derived from the district convention of 18%5. He assured the con- vention, however, that the committee had no intention of appointing delegates to the State convention, but on the contrary in- tended to call for primary elections. As there was nothing at stake but the selec- tion of delegates to a State convention called for the puropse of sending repre- sentatives to Philadelphia the assurance given by Watt was accepted.

S Denman Objects to Criticism of Pro- posed Changes in Rules—Special Certificates to Be Issued. Seg s The Board of Education sterday de- cided to reorganize the physical culture department in the public schools and as a preliminary step toward that end dis- missed the three have had charge of the classes. Those who lost their positions are H. C. F. Stahl, George S. Miehling and Robert Barth. In the resolution providing for the dis- missals the board states that it ‘“hopes to reorganize the teaching of physical cul- ture by placing it in the department on @ sound physiological, psychological and | pedagogical basis”; that the special corps instruction often enough and that *‘the present system of gymnastic exercises can be taught just as effectively by class teachers supervised by the principals.” It was resolved to request the City and County Attorney to appeal from the de- sult of R. H. Mitchell against P. A. Ber- gerot et al. A communication was received from the ing the once proposed revision of the rules in receiving classes to sixty-two and com- pel principals in certain schools to teach a class. The club demanded that before final action was taken in the mater the board hold an open meeting for its dis- cussion so the club could have a com- mittee present to represent it. Before the secretary had read the com- munication through Denman objected to further reading on the ground that the board had decided not to carry out the propositions mentioned. He said that it was an insult to the members of the board to accuse them of contemplatin, doing something they had never intende: The fact remains, however, that the propositions were seriously discussed at the secret meetings of the board but were | abandoned owing to the opposition cre- ated among teachers and parents against { the schemes when publicity was given them. It was resolved that the board, in ac- { of the Political Code of the State of Cal- ifornia, authorized the issuance of special certificates in the following subjects: Bookkeeping, cookery, sewing, domestic | sclence (cookery and sewing combined), mechanical drawing, architectural draw- and clay modeling (correlative and com- bined), freehand drawing and wood carv ing (correlative and combined), sloyd, ironwork, woodwork, elocution, TItalian, French, German, Spanish, Latin, Greek, physical culture, penmanship, stenograp and typewriting (combined), musie, ki dergarten work and manual training, in- cluding as many of the subjects from five to twelve inclusive as might be indorsed on the certificate of the applicant upon legal proof of competency to teach them. The city board of examination was di- rected to recommend and present to the Board of Education such persons as they might, under the law, find properly qual- ified to recelve special certificates for the subjects named. Authorization was given to make neces- sary repairs to the Lafayette School building; to lay stone coping in front of the Denman schoolhouse and to paint the specfal teachers who | of three teachers is inadequate to give | cision adverse to the School Board in the | Public Improvement Central Club regard- | that would increase the number of pupils | to do and the communication was shelved. | { cordance with section 1791, subdivision III, | | ing, freehand drawing, freehand drawing | COMEDIAN -*J AND HIS * J OSEPH HART, at present appear- patented a novel “finish” for the act in which he is appearing this week.
