LANGDON FILES REPORT | Superintendent Suggests In- novations to Be Introduced in the Public Schools Superintendent Langdon of the City Schogfl Department yesterday received ; circulars signed by a sub-committee of | school teachers of San Jose, containing the information that the State Legis- | lature at its next session will be mem- crialized to make provision for increas- | Ing the salaries of all teachers through- out the State. The circular is signed by George S. Wells, Louis Bruch, Rob- |ert A. Lee, H. M. Bland and J. F. Smnith, and makes an appeal to teach- ers to organize for effective work and | push the proposition to a successful ' finish, The eircular continues: | "“We desire to call attention to and | indorse the recommendations of the Superintendent of Public Instruction in his last biennial report and the action of | the biennial convention of the county | and city superintendents of the State »f California, held at Santa Barbara {on May 10, 11 and 12, 1904, in the mat- ter of amending the laws of California | in the provisions for raising school rev- enues, to wit: That the State taxes be incrensed so as to give a minimum of $9 per census child instead of $7, and that the counties that are not already | raising the limit of 50 cents on the hun- dred dollars of connty school tax be re- quired To raise an amount sufficient to | give $8 inztead of $6 per census child.” TELLS OF EASTERN SCHOOLS. Superintendent Langdon yesterday filed with the Board of Education a re- port of his recent observations of Bastern schools with a view to the fu- ture irtroduction of the best features prevailing there into the local depart- ment. In view of the fact that some school buildings are to be erected in this city under the recent bond issue, Langdon discusses at length the archi- tecture of echool buildings in New York, Cieveland, St. Louis, Chicago and | other cities. The report continues: | “The kindergarten, a part of the school system of nearly all the Bast®| ern cities, must soon become a part of | the San Francisco public schools. It is | considered by school officers and | teachers a great success and in no in- | steance when once established has it | | been discontinued. A kindergarten | might be established in some con- | gested quarter of this city and the sys- | tem allowed to grow steadily but grad- | ually. Of dourse, an apportionment of | school moneys in addition to the/| amount allowed for elementary and | high schools should be made for kin- | dergarten purposes. A recommenda- ticn to that effect will probably be made by the Superintendent for the next school year. COMPULSORY EDUCATION. “In the matter of compulsory edu- cation the Eastern cities are far ad- vanced. The schools of Chicago and Boston are the best types. The Chi- | cago school particularly has been very | successful in its work of reform. This | school is located near the limits of the | city, about eight miles from the City | Hall, on a tract of fifty acres of land | owned by the Board of Education. No walle, bars or bolts exist, it being built on the cottage plan. It is claimed that | 80 per cent of the boys are cured of truant habits and started on the road | to good citizenship and that the mere | establishment of the school has great- ly reduced truancy in Chicago. The per capita cost of maintaining and | schooling these boys is $7 35 a week, | a high figure, due to the small num- ber of boys and the great number of employes necessary. In Boston the per capita cost is $4 43 per week, the number of boys in attendance being | greater and the term of detention |longer as well. The’ buildings and { equipment in Chicago cost almost half ! | a million dollars.” A meeting of principals will be held {in room 356, City Hall, next Friday | afternoon to consider matters pertain- ing to the v musical festival.

The Valentine Holt Society of the Children of the American Revolution, a San Francisco organization, brought into existence mainly through the ef- forts of Mrs. S. Isabelle Hubbard, prominent in the work of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, de- cided some months ago to collect a sufficient sum of money to be used in erecting a monumert over the grave of Valentine Holt, a patriot of the American Revolution, for whom the society was named, in Hampshire Hills Cemetery, Mercer, Somerset Coun- ty, Me. 4 Valentine Holt, who was born in Andover, Mass., in 1763, was one of the juvenile patriots, who, at the age of 14, offered his services to the Revo- Iutionary army and he was enlisted as a messenger to carry dispatches. He acted in that capacity in a number of important battles and proved a most trustworty boy. He was honorably mustered out when almost 17 years of The patriotism he displayed so en- deared him to the children of the San Francisco Society that they deter- mined to honor his memory. The monument, which was recently piaced in position through the assist- ance of Eunice Farnsworth Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolu- tion, of Skowhegan, Me., is a slab of hammered granite, having in the cen- ter a bronze plate bearing the follow- ing inscription: VALENTINE HOLT, A Soldier of the American Revolution, 1763-1840. Erected by the Valentine Holt Scciety of the the American Revolution of San Francisco, Cal. One of the descendants of Valentine Holt is Gertrude Holt Lofthouse of Los Angeles, a member of the society nameg. She is his great-great-grand- daughter. —_——— BENEFIT FAIR ATTRACTS CROWD TO CENTURY HALL Children of Vomen and Children Help to Swell Proceeds for St. Stephen’s Mis- sion, Belvedere, The fair given yesterday afternoon .at Century Hall fer the benefit of St. Stephen’s Mission, Belvedere, proved a success.
