Superintendent W. H. Langdon pre- sides. L. M. Shelley is vice president and Mrs. L. Scott of the Lincoln Evening School is secret: In his opening ad- dress vesterday perintendent Langdon spoke in part as follows: LANGDON’'S ADDRESS. It becomes my pleasant duty to conves annual institute the teachers of the ci county of San Francisco. We meet for the purpose of bettering our schools by an intelli- gent and sympathetic study of our problems. At the very outset we need to be more thor- oughly conscious of the educational ideals which we wish to se We need to know the weaknesses that have operated against our having the best school system in the far West. 1t cannot be our purpose to foster an unwar- ranted pride in o chools, nor 6 it our pur- pose 1o enter into controversy with otr critics, Let vs rather avold controversy by making our schools 50 good that their position will be un- questioned. Let v intelligently to discover wherein the echools of San Kranciscp may be made better and enthusiastically perform those jabors that will make them better. The teachers of San Francisco have greater in responsibiiities 1o bear than ever before. The metropolis of the West, San Franciseo, must be made the leader in Western education. Al- ready dominant in commerce, Industry and trade, In the letters, art and music, we need to create an educational system that will corre- ADVERTISEMENTS.

The public sup- port, which we shall have in full when we d serve, will solve the remaining problems. ! forces which make for a great educational sys- tem lle all about us. Our main educational re- sponsibility is to organize things. The rich and prosperous city of San Francisco can give materfal support necessary for our | ted in the midst of universities, and museums, we have @ istiess fund of intellect to draw upon for the education of our children. It is the first duty of the educational body, administrative, supervisory and teaching, to awaken to its highest ideals and Tesponsibility ite gecond-duty is to belleve in ftself and to have confidence in the'motives of each part of itself. Tts third duty, and probably the moat important now, Is to stir the public to a better moral and financial support of ifi schools. When this laet is accomplished the Board of Education can administrate affairs so that ma- terfel equipments Wwill not be lacking, and that overcrowded classes and overworked teach- ers may no longer be found. DUTY OF TEACHERS. | It is the duty of the teacher to prepare the | child fer life with all its manifold avocational, this work, and not begin and end his functions with formal examinations and reports. Let | vs have less of the mere drudgery and ma- chinery of eehool work and more of the real education of growing men and women. Teach- ers do not need criticism and examination so much as they need help. Let us have fewer examinations and less preparation for exam- inations. Let have less supervision of re- ports and more supervision of actual teaching methods. One word more, that of the professional spirit. We need to cultivate an esprit de corps that will protect the work we aim to do. We need to kave certain staigards and expecta- tiens for ourselves and ouf fellows which we and they must meet. How can we have con- | fidence and support of each-other In this co- operative work of education if the flippant, the cynical, the incompetent and the unworthy are allowed to block the way? How can we expect the public to respect our calling it we do not respect it ourselves? How can we do the work of our grade well if the teacher in the grade below cannot or will not do her duty? While it is our first duty to help each other all we can, it is our second duty to frown down on those who will not be helped. For myself, 1 can say that I have the greatest faith that we shall understand our educational situation, as- sume its responsibilities and perform its tasks. In the earnest work of the last few vears in I trust that before the end of this year an educati - vival shall be well under way. i o In December the California Teachers' Asso- ciation meets at San Francisco. The teachers of this whole commonwealth will be our guests, It we labor hard from now till then we can greet them not only with the cordiality that will make them welcome, but with a progres- sive professional epirit that will mark the Isedership of San Francisco in Western educa- on. MAYOR IS DETAINED. Mayor Schmitz was detained by official business and sent word he would address the teachers on Friday morning. Under the direction of Miss Estelle Car- penter, supervisor of music, the children of the eighth grade rendered a number of songs in a very creditable manner. Mrs. Cecil W. Mark rendered Needham's ‘‘Haymaking” and for an encore sang “My Old Kentucky Home” and was heartily applauded. Miss Ida Clement was the accompanist. FAVORS HIGHER SALARIES. Thomas P. Woodward, president of the Board of Education, was given a warm greeting when introduced. Superintend- ent Langdon, in presenting Mr. Wood- ward, stated he was familiarly and af- fectionately called “Mr. Presidenty.” In his speech President Woodward struck a responsive chord in the hearts of his hearers by announcing that he believed the salaries of teachers should be in- creased. He said he was in favor of pay- ing them more than is recelved by jani- tors in the City Hall. He said he brou.. about the increase in their salaries some years ago and he stated that in making up the budget for this vear an attempt is being made to give the teachers more money. He said he was not dispensing “superheated ether” and warned the teachers not to buy Easter bonnets, as they might not get the increase. Through- out his address Woodward spoke in happy vein. It part he said: 1t is my pleasant privilege, as president of the board, to add to the welcome given you by the erintendent the greetings of the Board of Education, and to trust that this in- stitute will prove beneficial—as beneficial as it is to those who made it obligatory upon you to attend ughter.)

(Laughter.) And were it not for the fact that you would lose your day’s salary, 1 don't be- e one-tenth would be here to-day. COST OF INSTI+UTE. Now. I don’t think the advantage of the in- stitute should be at all problematical. It should be something fixed and definite, so that vou may know and feel that you are recetving some benefit from it. I don’t believe, for ex- ample, the discussion of the growth of ealmon (laugh and prolonged applause) will make you ‘any more able to teach children how to And, read and write and to add one and one. when you think that the In: city and county of San Francisco $9000—8$3000 a day, 3500 for every half hour, you are in here listening to us talk, you see that you are de- riving some benefit from it. But that's what this costs. is pieasant to come here and remew old acquaintances. Some of you come with ham- mers in your pocMets. to hammer the prin pals you have been with durlng the past yes and sometimes to hammer the Board of Fdu cation; but I think there has been less ham mering and anvil chorusing against this board than any other board. President Woodward also discussed the endowment fund, which he heartily ap- proved. Mrs. Cecil W. Mark rendered Weil's “Spring Song.” Miss Heine played the violin obligato. A. A. Macurda, A. M., educational director of the 8an Fran- cisco Young Men's Christian Association, read an interesting paper on ‘“The School Teacher, the Library and the Public.” He dwelt at length on the necessity of directing the minds of the children in the proper reading channels. After a short recess there was some excellent singing by sixteen little misses from the Denman Grammar School. The choir was under the direction of Principal A. L. Mann. The singing was greatly enjoyed by the | 11 From Department. l | LAWYER ATTACKS MAS" TESTIMONY Fair Heirs’ Counsel Says Witness Was Not | at Scene. L) Frenchman Explains His Evasive Statement to - Secret Agent. NEW YORK, April 8.—The hearing on the will of the late Cbarles L. Fair, who | was killed in an automobile accident in | France last Aug as resumed to-day Mrs, Hannah Nelson of Newmarket, N. | J., mother of Mrs. Fair, seeks to show | that Fair died before his wite. Lucien Mas, the Frenchman who testi- fied yesterday that when he reached the scene of the accident he found Mr. Falr | Cead and Mrs. Fair breathing, was again on the witness stand. \ Mas was questioned about an interview | he had had with M. Picard, a French secret agent, regarding the accident. Mas said he had refused to tell Picard who was with him and where he had been | when he witnessed the accident, because | Mas and his friend, Moranne, had been | | to Treuville with women and did not want | their wives to know about it. Mas said he had not described the ac- cident to M. Picard differently from his | | description” at this hearing. When counsel for Mrs. Nelson objected to the cross-examination as to what time Mas boarded a train after witnessing the | accident opposing counsel said it - was | most important, as it 1 “shows Mas was | | not at the place at all.” | The hearing was continued to a date to Ibe fixed at a conference to be held be- (ween the attorneys and the referee to- @ i teachers. | Professor Henry Suzzallo of the San Francisco Normal School, the principal | speaker of the session, delivered an in- | structive address on matters pertaining | to school udies. He devoted a greater | part of his lecture to ‘“Arithmetic’” and the proper way of teaching it to the child. | | An adjournment was taken until this | | morning. | SCHOOL BOARD DECLINES TO REINSTATE TEACHER | Denies Petition of Miss A. E. Little | and Accepts One Resignation The Board of Education vesterday de- | nied the request of Miss A. E. Little for | reinstatement in the department. ' Miss | Little was assigned to the. Horace Mann | School, but refused to accept the assign- | | ment, and was subsequently removed aft- er a trial. The resignation of Lou I. Smithson as | a teacher in the department was accepted. | C. Gaines and Katherine Gaines, | teachers In the department, were granted permission to exchange classe Director Woodward voted against the | | resolution_authorizing the payment of bills—for March on the ground that the amount exceeded the appropriation. Leaves were granted to Mrs. I. M. Rey- | nolds, Miss J. C. Evans, M E. D.| Keith, Mre, B. A. Shaw, Miss Katherire | Foley and Mrs. E. 8. G n. Permission was granted to the Hum- boldt Evening School to hold its gradu- | ating exercises outside of the school build- ing. | Grammar school oertificates were grant- | ed to Mrs, Lena A.

WHEN SCHOOL CLOSES | Attorney General Renders Opinion That Instructors Must Be Paid According to Contract. Attorney General U. S. Webb, in re- sponse to an inquiry from District Attor- ney E. H.
