The first intimation of the | trouble comes in the shape of an edi-| torial in the Church Standard, the old- est organ of the church in this country. MAKES PLAIN THE EREOR. In the issue of the Standard which will appear to-morrow Rev. Dr. John Fulton, the editor, will say in reference to the Irvine-Talbot case that the pre- siding Bishop has constituted the board of inquiry under a canon which. was superseded by a new canon of the late general convention. The new canon go into operation on January 1, The board of inquiry is called to meet on January 10, and when 1t does meet that day it will not be constituted the new canon requires. Therefore it will have no power to sproceed with the inquiry for which it is called. Men versed in church law say the y course open is to let the present ourt meet on the date named. It can then decide that it no longer has juris- | diction and refer the case back to| Bishop Tuttle, the presiding Bishop, | for further action. | The mistake or oversight arose, it | aid, because the movement to pro- re a presentment against Bishop Tal- was begun last August and those who had it in hand failed to take cog- nizance of the change in the canonical law when it was ‘made at the tast gen- eral convention. c b FAMOUS S ON BOGU Special Dispatch to The Call MINNTAPOLIS, D regating more than 000, Julius Redmond of Granite s could not raise a cent in Min- is.

After the recep- | tion at the Vendome last evening they were all in a happy mood and had be- come better acquainted with each ¢ |er. The State Normal School, where the meetings are being held, was crowded to the doors all day long, and the registration was very large. The Elementary School Assoclation and the High School Teachers’ Association met at 9:30 o'clock this morning, and the | meeting attracted the attention and at- | tendance of nearly all the visitors | The Calitornia | | | eachers’ Association held its first meeting in Normal Hall this afternoon. A large crowd was present and many were unable to se- cure seats. Governor Pardee was pres- | ent and with Mayor Worswick and oth- | er noted citizens and educators occu- | pied seats on the platform. All the of- | ficers of the State assoclation were present. They are as follows: Charles L. Biedenbach, Berkeley; President, vice president, Mles Kate Ames, Napa; vice president, B, W, « ; secre- | tary, Mrs. M ‘M Folsom street, San Francisc Miss | A. G."

Huisinpiller of the First Méthodist Church, who offered | an invocation. WELCOMED BY MAYOR. Mayor George D. Worswick delivered an address of welcome. He said he was glad to welcome representatives of interests of such great moment, not only to the State, but to the nation as well, and paid a pretty compliment to the teachers as build-/s of the charac- ter of men in the high-places and the makers of America’s greatest men. He was proud of the schools of San Jose, and wished the administration was in a position to' raise the salaries of the teachers. The visiting teachers were asked to make their visit pleasant, and he hoped they would accomplish much in their meetings that would redound to the credit of the commonwealth. President Charles L. Biedenbach re- | sponded on behalf of the teachers and then deltvered his annual address. The progress made by the teachers was re- ferred to, and he attributed this to clubs, institutes and associations. He said the California Teachers’ Associa= tion always stood in the lead in edu- cational works and was making rapid progress and assuming definite charac- ter. The association is an aggregation of associations, each with its own of= ficers and by-laws. This organization, he said, would have been impossible ten years ago, and ten years from now | a greater organization was expected. ! It was hoped by that time that a per- manent annual meeting place would ba secured, with a permanent and well- paid secretary in charge, whose duty it would be to furnish information. He | said this was possible, as there were | 10,000 eligible members in the State and | $1" each would furnish the funds, and | the teachers were anxious to pay the money for such work. Ome of the most fmportant problems before the associa- | tion was that of salary. All agreed that the teachers were underpaid and many had come to be- lfeve it. He believed a majority of the Legislature favored an increase of the pay of the teachers and certainly the Governor did. The only way to pro- cure an increase, he sald, lay in an in- crease of the school funds. The new text books and course of study were referred to and the speaker sald there was an improvement in each. The ethics of teachers were touched upon. GIVES ADVICE TO TEACHERS. P. F. Gosbey, president of the San Jose City Board of Fducation, deliv- ered an address. He spoke of the char- acter of teachers and showed how much depended on them in forming the character of their pupils. He referred to the life of Abraham Lincoln. Teach- ers were advised to teli their pupils oc- casionally of the great men that some spark of emulation might be kindled in the heart of the little student. He spoke of the average school trustee and the selection of men to rule the teachers who had no ideas of the art of teaching. Teachers were advised not to undermine one another, but to live up tc a high code of ethics. ' Mr. Roberts of Palo Alto rendered a barytone solo that received much ap- plause. Governor Pardee was then intro- duced, and spoke in a humorous vein for some minutes. He said he wished he could see more gentlemen present, not that he would take away one lady, but that he wanted to see more men. He said that the people of the State loved the public schools and that the people were willing to do everything they could to make them better. The burning question now was money. He had dug and toiled to get light.on the vexatious question. His private see- retary even admitted that more-salary was due the teachers. He and Super- intendent of State Instruction Kirk had fought over and studied the question, and now they had begun to see some daylight ahead. He said that If each pupil in a district wvas not receiving an equal amount of educational ad- Continued on Page 3, Column &
