SCHOOL DIRECTORS BLAMED. You can readily see from this how very im- portant is the introduction of new t into our department, for It is with the duction only that the school directors take & real part. After a teacher has passed through the substitute class and has served her period of probation as a_probationary- teacher she can only be electedspermanently into the de- partment upon the recommendation of the principal under whom she has taught and of the Superintendent of Public Sehools. You can sec from this that the responsibility .does t rest entirely upon that much-abused class, of the teachers' tom to lay all real or imaginary, existing among our upon the school directors; their backs criticism of their acts is a neces- y paniment to thefr position; they are used to it, although it is not always as pleasant as could be desired, but as a matter of fact the real responsibility for the final placing of teachers in thie department rests not upon them. but upon the principals and upon the Superintendent: And whken we have our annuity fixed upon a firm basis, when our teachers after an active, conscientious life spent in the schoolroom, can It has been feel that their remaining years are net un- when the $2 menthly Increase alaries is devoted to the annuity fund, which 1 proposed some nionths ago and which T have since advocated and shall con- tinue to advocate until, 1 trust, the desired result is attained—when this comes to pass, th indeed, will our department and our teachers be as near perfection as possible. DISCIPLINE IN SCHOOLS. “School Discipline” was the subject of the address of James A. Foshay, City Superintendent of Los Angeles Schools, to the teachers. Ha pointed out the best means of maintaining discip- line in the schoolroom. In part he said: Wa have learned that it is not the knowl- nor_the training passed through to btain it, which makes the true teacher; but, ax in ali other departments of life, it is largely nality—a_very important factor in the of the character of those who imi- ny children come to us from homes where finer graces and qualities of life are unknown, and the teacher is toe first per- &on evin with s 1 whom they ement come in._ contact Many children run w e too busily engaged with attending the club, while tatr r must d his waking hours in ining food and hing for his family. The nsequence is that the boy hae little or no and the school is the his purposes crossed. hecked, and orders raint in the home lace where he find: ratively comy eases. The teacher takes the with all these tendencies, and sees at hat he must correct the wrong and e rizht PUPILS SING SWEETLY. Miss Mae O'Donnell of the Fremont Primary School brought forth an ag- gregation of “Emmy Lous” and stal- wart lads with sweet voices, and they thrilled the teachers with a concord of sweet sound. If these children ap- peared at any theater in this city and sung as they did yesterday they would score a decided hit. They rendered four songs, but Auber's ‘“Morning” and were the best. The audience sat back in breathless silence as the children’s voices filled the theater with the plaintive melody of the Southland and tears came to many e The singing of this youth- ful choral did much to prove the effi- ciency of the local school department. Professor 8. H. Clark of the Universi- ty of Chicago received a generous greeting when introduced by the presi- dent. His address was on “Interpreta- and it surpassed his ef- forts of the previous day. The speaker appealed to his auditors to not allow themselves to be carried away by the desire to gain riches, but to pause and appreciate the beauties of poetry and enrich their minds with good literature. He illustrated his meaning by allusion to the line “ane never lifted up a stone,” used by Browning in one of his poems. Profes- sor Clark said he never appreciated the meaning of the line until he had discovered it in Willilam Wordsworth's beautiful pastoral poem “Michael.” He | grew eloquent 'in his narration of the story in the poem and moved his lis- teners by the fervor and brilliance of his remarks. Professor Clark’s lecture was illustrated with stanzas from the poets, which he recited with great ex- When he concluded his mas- terly address the teachers applauded him heartily. An adjournment was taken until this afternoon. Loelofond FAVOR LOWER STANDARD. Educators Say Too Much Is Required of Students. The department of the High School Association voted unanimously yester- day morning in favor of a reduction of the units required by the universities. Fifteen units are required, but in the opinion of the committee thirteen would be more reasonable. The report was made by Dr. A. W. Scott of the Ala- meda High School, who stated that the high standard required by the university for entrance does not allow the students sufficient time for voca- tional work. Another point raised was that a great many of the students who wish to enter the university are girls, and in order to attain the required standard they overdo themselves at a period when their health should be most carefully protected. Professor Clark of Lowell High School, who spoke on “Units of High School Work,” held the same general ideas. He said that since 1899 the Uni- versity of California has defined its en- trance subjects as units, the unit be- ing five recitations a week for a year. This, he held, is very injurious to the high school, as he considers the univer- sity should be content with specifying the material in its entrance subjects and the high school free to determine the work. The present system, he said, leads the high schools to place work before scholars when they are unfitted for it. Some interesting facts and figures were brought out by Joseph O'Connor, principal of the Mission High School; in his address on “High School Teachers’ Salaries.” He compared the salarjes of the teacher with those paid the me- chanic and showed by figures that the man who earns his bread by the sweat ‘of his brow is better paid than the pro- . | Are of Very Little Value to Them DECEMBER 31, 1903. 11 / That in Battle of Life fessional man. He suggested that the teachers form an organization on the line of trades unions for the purpose of raising their salaries and muually pro- tecting their interests. ‘ That. the degartment of music has accomplished splendid results was dem- onstrated at the concert held in Stein- way Hall yesterday morning, under the direction of Miss Estelle Carpenter.

Rooms 4 and 5 of the Mission High School, where the Industrial Arts de- partment held its sessions, were splen- didiy decorated, under the auspices ot‘ the California Club, fqr the purpose of | suggestion and demonstration as mod- | els of schoolroom art. Officers for the | ensuing year were chosen as follows: | ‘Chairman, A. B. Clark; secretar Charles H. Thorpe; directors—Miss Ball, E. E. Goodall, F. H. Meyer, Miss Whittaker. Mrs. J. W. Orr of the Cal fornia Club addressed the " gathering from a club woman's standpoint. She | said that while as a rule Boards of Ed- | ucation would do nothing to improve the appearance of schoolrooms they would willingly accept anything pre- | sented to them. 1 } Other addresses were | made by Mrs. A. G. White, C. P. Niel- son, Miss Emelia Kalisher, F. H. Meyer and Miss Katherine Ball. At the session of the County Boards ot Education the following resolution, introduced by Mr. Kepple of Los An- geles, was unanimously adopted: County Board of FEducation | Whereas, The is a body created by the constitution of the | State, giving a certain and specific power to which other powers and dutles have been added by the ture; and whereas, these powers and. duties need to be more clearly | § °d and established, and to understoc b ussion -and harmony of action are | ; therefore That the chairman of this de- partment of the State Teachers' Assoclation be authorized and directed to appoint an execu- | tive committee Of Dot less than seven mem- | bers with power to act in preparing a plan for the organization and co-operation of the members of the county boards throughout the State, to the end that conflicts of power may ided, confusion reduced to order, the stitution be followed in spirit as well as | in letter and a high grade of local super- | vision be attained. !

ORDERS CHANGE IN THE DEED Wpr):xs Board Excepta to Con- ditions of Spring ¥Valley for Nineteenth Avenue Opening e JORTALL RESIGNS PLACE e e A | The Bituminizing of Clement! Street Is Recommended to the Supervisors as Necessary A The representatives of the Spring Valley Water Company held a confer- ence yesterday with the Board of Pub- lic Works and Supervisor Brandenstein | regarding the proposed grant by the corporation to the city of a right of way for the extension of Nineteenth avenue from Ocean road to the Tro- rcadero Gulch. The company had prepared the nec- essary deeds for the conveyance of the land, but the board took exception to certain conditions imposed in the grant. One of these is that the city shall be allowed the use of the surface of the street only, whereas the board wanted it conveyed for all street purposes, in- cluding the building of a sewer therein. The board ordered the deed amended to give the city all rights to the street without any limitations whatever. At- torney Kellogg stated that the matter would have to be submitted to the di- rectors of the company, and the board I decided that if the amendments were adopted by the company it would rec- ommend that the deed be accepted by the city. Nicholas Jortall, secretary of the The | board, however, requested Jortall to 1904, to which he agreed. Jortall, who has proven a capable official dur- ing his year of incumbency, resigns to JORTALL'S SUCCESSOR. Jortall's successor will be Louis B. Mayer, .at present employed on an evening paper. Maycr Schmitz had de- creed that Jortall shall be displaced by ! the votes of Commissioner Schmitz and | the new Commissioner to be appointed | nuary 8, 1904.

The rep- | resentatives of the Sutro estate opposed the doing of the work. The City Street Improvement Com- pany was awarded the contract for furnishing 100,000 basalt blocks to the ROAD TO PESTHOUSE.
