It was a new thing to | make of the simple act a public and im- pressive ceremony, but there was no doubt of the success of the experiment nor of the lasting impression which it made. Flags were draped around the galleries and above and behind the Speaker's desk. Palms and evergreens were clustered be- the flags, around the gallery rails and along the wallg, and from the central chandelier hung pennants of the national colors, moving gracefully over the throng that filled every seat and every corner ot the big room.

Then resolutions presenting the ballot- box to McKinley and the gavel and block to Roosevelt “were passed and the cere-| monfes ended with the singing of “Amer- | ca.” The arrangements were in charge of Jacob Steppacher, assistant secretary of | the State Central Committee, to whom belongs much of the credit for &he suc- | cess undoubtedly achieved.

The committee in whose hs lh‘(hn\ im- portant - interests of the universities are ft is as follows: Collins of Butte, Car- ter, Ralston, Fisk, Hasson, Cowan and Reeber. "The Speaker’'s appointments to member- ghip on this committee are regarded as having been made in accordance with the wishes of Governor Gage, and friends of the 'measures introduced to provide an increased income for the University of California see in them further indication of the Governor's disposition to carry his omy to the point of com- bating these measures, although the bur- den of direct taxation is not increased by them. The Speaker passed - by the Alameda County pfiel?gaunn in - his selections, though every —one supposed that the county in which the university is situated would be accorded representation on the committee. McWade and Kelley of Ala- meda were both Pendleton men, and Mc- Wade is an alumnus of the University of California.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Jan. 14.—The best of the school ! bills has yet to come hefore the Legisla- ture, and that It has not come sooner is due to a misunderstanding that might have become serfous between the State Fducational Commission and the repre- sentatives of thé San Francisco teachers. The bill to be introduced nakes several changes in the public school svstem of the the message | Francisco vitally. Onme is the certifica- tion of teachers. It is intended by the bill to be introduced to abolish primary certificates and have instead elementary certificaths., It was agreed upon between the State Teachers' Association and the BEducational Commission that the provisions providing the changes should be so harmonized as to make them effective in San Francisco without endangering the | validity of certificates there or interfer- ing to any great extent with existing con- | ditions. Tt was promised that this would be don et when the bill was ready for presentation to-day there were no such words as “San Francisco’” in it. Further proceedings were stopped at once by a vigorous ‘‘kick,” and the bill has been hung up until the amendments suggested ?n It s claimed that if can corporated. the State law be changed and no provision made to harmonize the San Francisco laws the laws will be in the nature of special legislation and the validity of all certificates of that county would thereby nd red. P rhe mrosisions which it is intended shall be harmonized to allow their benefit to reach San Francisco will make certifi- cates interchangeable throughout the | State, and will provide for the preserva- tion of those primary certificates that are already In existence. A second point of importance will be in- cluded in the bill to allay the uncertainty now attaching to the validity of life di- plomas.
