This is the urgent appeal of the civic section of the California Club, and it is earnestly to be hoped that the Board of Educa- tion will waste no time instituting an “official” estigation. A day or two climbing around the cul-de-sacs that thread the Hill will convince the most obtuse observer of two things—the ne- cessity of enforcing the compulsory education law there and the urgent ty for more school accommoda- tions in this new Italy.

Little, both now resident of Oak- land. Both of these well-known musi- cians have recently been heard once more s have es. ing on ail s Alverson was at California’s foremost. contraito a-d many, many times has her veice been raised, freely and generously in behalf of charity. Her husband being a prom- inent Mason, she was an active partice- ipant in all the public exercises of that order. So, when Lyom Corps, G. R. of Oakland celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary a few weeks ago the ven- erable lady was asked to sing for the sake of “auld lang syme.” Bowed as she is by the weight of 68 ars and crippled as the result of an accident, little was expected of her, but the invi- tation was extended as a mark of cour- tesy and deep respect. When the still fyll, sweet voice swept out over the crowd, however, in the trying strains “The Star Spangied Banner,” old soldiérs forget their years and their veins tingled once more with the fire and patriotism of youth. Age had ma- tured the voice they heard, but Time’s chill hand had passed lightl- over the warm, rich tones that still thrilled with the power to stir human hearts. The high notes lacked n "ing, either of strength or sweetness. The buoy- ancy and power of Mrs. Alverson's voice is all the more remarkable when one comsiders that she has been teach- ing for the last forty years. Mrs, Little is proud of the fact that, like Patti, sixty-one years have passed her gently by and that she is still able to give pleasure with the voice tbat was once a pure delight. She came to California in 1839 and aimost immedi- ately took her place with t -~ prominent fhe -asat differ- ent times leading soprano of Calvary, the Unitarian and other large church fn San Francisco. For years she was closely identified with the oid Presb: terian church on Harrisca sireet 1 Oak- land, and she started the fund for the organ which now graces the new edifice on the corner of Fourteenth and Franklin streets.

In despair she called on Mrs. Little, to whom the intricacies of the Wwell-known hymn werc once child's play, and the now white-haired singer consented to appear before her loved public once more. That Christmas day will long be remembered by those who attended the morning services at the First Presbyterian Church. A little nervous, perhaps, at her own daring, the sweet voice wavered a lit- tle at first and time's scars were per- ceptible on a few lower notes. But as she warmed to her work and the old surroundings became familiar once more, the singer forgot her sixty-one years and gave the difficuit passages of the famous song with such unex- pected art and strength and feeling that the congregation almost broke |that during the year the active work-| into applause.
