The standard estab- ion requires the schools be the kindergartners in charge o d_credentlals and that the °¢ paid be not less than $40 a month. At present each board still attends to its own finances, but it is our aim to place the co lection and distribution of funds in the hand of the central board. In order to be of proper value to the community the kindergartens must be taken the charity basls, where they are supported by private subscription, and made part of the public school system, supported by public taxes. This has been successfully done in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. It is easy parents in large communities es for all children from 4 to € vears old. It will then be necessary for the city officials to know what constitutes kindergarten training. When that time comes it will be found that the Associa- tion of Kindergartens has done much to pre- pare the way for the change, The officers of the Assoclated Kinder- gartens of Oakland are as follows: from > dent, Mrs. Henry Wadsworth: president, Mrs. F.

They have not been swept and the windows are blurred. To ascertain If the third engine at High strect was the three-train arrangement promised by the railroad to the people a Cail reporter questioned an_officlal this afternoon on the subject. The railroad man said: No, this Is not the three-train arrange. ment we talked of gIVing to our narrow- gauge patrons. The chances are that we will hot be able to make the change now until after the first of the year. The whole narrow-gauge system is being worked to its fullest capacity and we can- not spare anything for the local. What engines are not in the repair shop are pulling long freight trains in the moun- tains and we do not expeect any let-up until toward the close of the year.” So the peopic of Alameda will have to get along for many months with the best the railroad is willing to give them, FUNERAL OF THE LATE HENRY A.

As this was found at three feet below the surface, however, it is taken to mean unusually good pay at bedrock. The Topkuk strike is on Claim No. 3, Swedish Gulch, just across the divide at the head of Daniels Creek. Swedish Gulch is not much of a stream, being but three claims long, and having an outlet in a pot hole. The find was made August 28 by Charles Gordon, an old timer in this country.
