APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF CA LIFORNIA FOR AID Managers of Youths’ Dirétory Ask for Funds to Build an Agricultural School.’ HE managers,of the Youths’ DI- rectory have issued an appeal to the people of California to aid them in, the laudable work of establishing an agricultural school for boys. It is the aim of Rev. Father Crowley, president of the directory, which is opened to abandoned boys of every race, color and creed, to in the near fu- ture open a school that will assist poor youths in securing a practical knowledge ot agriculture, Such a school will be of great benefit to the entire State and an enthusiastic commendation of the project is assured. The Rev. Archbishop P. W. Riordan has given his most cordial ap- proval to the idea of opening an agricul- tural school, as outlined in the following circular: For several years the idea has been con- sidered of establishing an agricultural school for boys, to be affiliated with the Youths' Di- rectory and complete or supplement the work done by that fustitution. This Idea has been commended with peculiar earnestness by the press, both metropolitan and rural, and by many thoughtful and experienced men Who have watched with dread the tendency of popu- lation toward citles, where environment Is viclous and who have joined in the cry ‘‘back to_the land.” Many promises of pecunlary aid for such a school have been volunteered. Encouraged by such promises, by the general enthuslastic commendation of the project and by a strong conviction that such a school for boys is need- ed, the managers of the Youths' Directory have bonded. a_fertile tract of one thousand acres fi a neighboring county and they now appeal to the public for the money required for the purchase of this land, OPEN TO ALL CREEDS. The soil is rich, level, well wooded, well watered and the farm is accessible. 'There are buildings on the land, which, with some alterations, can_be adapted to the purposes of the school. No better bargain of this kind can be had in the State because the property is perfectly suited to the requirements of an agricultural college and the price is reason- able. An opportunity to secure such a farm may not come agaln and it is hoped that an ever generous public will give freely the money required. 2 The broad policy which has made the Youths' Directory a home for abandoned boys of every race, color and creed will guide the managers of the farming school, and for that reason this appeal Is addressed not only to Catholics, ' but 1o men and women of every creed. The work to be done by the new school will redound not only to the glory of God, but also to the im- provement of citizenship and the benefit of the State, There Is need in California of farmers who will be at once practical and scientific. - The arift toward the cities must be counteracted. Boys are leaving the country and flocking toward the crowded cities and towns, where life is artificlal and where, too often, they find bad environments and become vicious.and degraded. “Back to the land”’ must become the shib- boleth of the coming decade. Agriculture Is the foundation of the country’s wealth. It is the first of the sclences. The best line that Edwin Markham ever wrote s that in which he sald of the farmer sowing grain: ‘‘He hurls ok =g PRIEST WHO PROPOSES TO ESTABLISH AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL FOR POOR BOYS. i o the bread of natlons from his hand.” Tt is as honorable to be a good farmer as it is to be a godd lawyer or & good doctor, but farming must be learned like any other science, art or craft. A training school for farmers, however, must teach farming practically and must give stu- dents not only @ knowledge of farming, but also a liking for'it. There is no such school in this State. The college of agriculture at Berkeley ls simply & chemical laboratory. It graduated last year only one student and that one graduate Was & young woman, Who prob- ably has no intention of cultivating a farm for a livelihood. SCIENCE OF FARMING. To know the constituent elements of the soll, to understand the speclal needs of special plaits, to comprehend the value of a rotation of crops In_order to prevent the exhaustion of single eléments in the land, to study the signs of the season and regulate the business of the farm so as to profit most fully by win- ter rain and summer heat—all this fg but a small part of the knowledge required to be a successful farmer. California farmers have suffered because many of them do not know the science of farming. A farm is a profitable investment if it is managed with industry, skill and In- telligence, but a shiftless, improvident and unskillful man will not succeed at farming any. better than he Wil succeed at other crafts. The sons of farmers who have falled migrate toward the city. France maintains nine national schools of agriculture, and connected with each school s a well-kept farm in which the students put their lessons Into practice. In addition to -these national schools there is a large num- ber of intermediate farming schools. There are about forty agricultural institutes besides, under the control and direction of the church. These schools have popularized farming as a means of livellhood and have very much {m- proved the farming methods of the French people. Consequently France has ten millions of peasant proprietors, while England and Ire- land together have less than nine hundred thousand. A school like the one proposed should sup- port itselt after the first cost and the ex- penses of the first few years are paid. But it would be worth many thousand dollars each year to the State of California. To pyrchase the land already bonded and make the needed improvements thereon will entail an expensq of elghty thousand dollars or thereabouts. /We therefore appeal to the people of the State of California to contribute the necessary funds to promote and bring to a successful completion this most worthy en- terprise. D e e 2 el CITY HAS POUNDMASTER, BUT.HE HAS NO POUND » o PO Humane Society Directors Refuse to Place Irwin in Charge of Their Property. It was definitely decided yesterday by the board of directors of the Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals that H. O. Irwin, the new poundmaster, can- not have the use of the animals’ home, which for many years has served as tha public pound. The city owns nothing in connection with the pound, so that Irwin will have to start in business on his' own account and catch stray animals with whatever appliances he may see fit to hire or purchase. He was invited to attend the meeting of the board of directors of the soclety yes- terday. He greflented himself, and when asked what he had to say replied “Noth- ing.” He asked the members of the board what they had to say, and they in_ tucn refused to make any proposition. Irwin left the meeting, and then it was decided that he could not use the soclety’s prop- erty. He stated last night that he was not prepared to say whether he would set up a_pound on his own account. The officials of the humane soclety say that fees for impounding animals are not sufficient to pay the running expenses of the institution, and that Irwin consc- quently cannot make any money out of his office. The animals’ home will still be open to receive disabled animals, ————— H. D. Hougham to Lecture.

The Caledonian Club held a soclal and business meeting in Scottish Hall last night, which was presided over by Chief M. A. Macpherson. The meeting was largely attended. The principal feature was an. address by ex-Chief D. R.

Hls description of a bull fight in- the City ot Mexico, in which two of the leading tore- adors of Spain took part, was thrilling and thoroughly appreciated. While not agreeing with certain features of the per- formance he could not help extending all raise to the daring, skill, courage and ntelligence of the toreadors. The ad- dress was so thoroughly enjoyed that by special vote he was asked and agreed to vpent it soon. After the address certain matters in connection with the annual games at Shell Mound Park on May 30 were dis- %@d of. It was unanimously voted that should be set aside for the entertain- ment of the guests at the games, which will insure a genuine Highland welcome, as usual to those who accept the hospi- tality of the club.

The Supervisors’ joint Committee on Judiciary and Police yesterday decided to report back to the board without recom- mendation the proposed ordinances de- signed to prohibit the playing of card games for money in_any public place where liquor is sold. The Chief of Police and Police Commission will be invited to attend the next session of the beard to express their views on the subject. Supervisor Eggers objected to the or- dinances on the ground that it would pre- vent-a man from playing cards in a gro- cery. Eggers. thought the proposed legislation was too sweeping and that if it was aimed at such places as the Cafe Royal and the Baldwin Annex it should be more specific in its provisions. Chairman Comte said the ordinances were directed against ~ public evil, but the committee held the view that they would prohibit card games for money ex- cept in private dwellings. Supervisor M Clellan thought the police would be able to cope with the evil under the existing laws. Supervisor Boxton held that no exceptions should be made and that the prohibition should be made general. Su- | pervisor Booth said the measures came from the Police Commission, which he thought was qualified to judge of the necessity of the legislation. MANY PEOPLE ATTEND FUNERAL OF MRS. TEVIS Rev.
