There are endless studies of still life,
not few of them deserving of praise, and
there are two of Lemons and Rad

almost concealed by the associations tag
Alice b. Chiltenden exhibits two very
creditabe pictures of Roses" One of
them shows mass of flowers in wheel
barrow and is particularly fine. None of
our hower-painters. judging by exhibited
work, have reached the high plane of ex-
celence on which this artist stands Her
work Is sure TO meet with high praise
from visitors to the exhibition.
Henry Roullier's "Goat-keeper" shows
conventional treatment, but il is above the
average. Its best point is the careless at
titude of the girl on the grass in the fore
ground and the cast-off shoe, bit of
genre work that shows up well, these
features relieving what might easily have
been tame picture.
Nj. Evelyn Mccormick shows a piece of

which gurges a little stream that reflects
the green Of pines and ferns and the brown

A NOE VALLEY SCHOOL.
The Board of Education Asked to
Build a New House.

The most important business before the
Board of Education last night was the
consideration of an application by a dele
CATION from Noe Valley residents for the
erection of a new schoolhouse in that
district.
E. j. Mcnamara was first heard. He
spoke OF rumors of intention to take away
the Douglass-street primary school and
elect a consolidation with the Sanchez
street school. TO remove this school
would be to inllct great injustice on the
children In the neighbOrhood. They have
even now to walk many blocks. He con-
sdered that the board ought to take in
hand the matter oil erecting a good school
house TO accommodate the children in a
rapidly growing district.
Hermann Samuels of the Eureka Valley
Improvement club, was heard in the same
connection. The children in this section
have now to walk twelve blocks to school.
and 1t Will involve in the winter season
all the risks Of pneumonia and other
diseases, arising from sitting in school
with wet clothes and wet feet. He could
Bot look on any such deaths as might
arise from this condition except as murder
in the first degree.
Behrend Joost pointed out how easily a
schoOlhouse might be built at the needfuI
spot-in the vicinity of Seventeenth aud
Douglass streets. for about $50 O0O-a
wants.
The matter was taken under advise
ment.
The following probationary teachers
were finally elected as regular teachers in
the department: Miss Nora O'Brien,
James Lick Grammar School: Miss NJ. NJ
Torpey, James Lick Grammar School; !;
Mrs. NJ. A. Doughty. South Cosmopolitan
Grammar School; w. G. Hyde. Washing
ton Evening School.
1t was resolved that the last clause of
section 21S of the rules of the board be
amended to read as follows: "Any
teacher appointed after June /, 1893 in
accordance with these provisions shall be
conditionally appointed on trial for a
period of two years and shall be known as
a probationary teacher"
This replaces the six months probation
ary rule.
Under protest from Mr.. Rosewald and
Dr. Decker 1t was resolved that the board
adjourn to week from to-day. The ayes
and noes being called for the vote stood
six to three.

Books Printed in 1856 Examined by

A conversational meeting of the San
Francisco Microscopical Society was held
at :heir rooms, 432 NJ Montgomery street, last
evening.
Several members had brought their in
strumentS and exposed some verS inter-
esting specimens of minute objects. Presi-
dent Breckenfeld and A. w. Runyon ex-
hibited number of very elegant and
costly mcroscopical slides of diatoms, be-
longing to the estate of the late Henry c..
Hyde, former member of the society.
Among the most interesting objects ex-
hlbited were 4 number of ancient books
on mcroscopical subjects owned by C. c..
Riedy. Tie oldest of these was a time
worn volume written by Peter Borello in
the year 1886. 1t is divided into two parts.
the former being "a history of the micro
scope and telescope" and the second part
containing over 100 observations.
Another Of his collection was the first
English book printed on the subject in
1864 written by Henry Powers and pub
lished in London. "Misrographia,' a
standard volume of the seventeenth CEN
OF minute bodies made by the magnifying
glass, with observations and inquiries
thereon, was also on exhibition, and
showed some splendid illustrations of

Mr.. Riedy also presented numerous
other early publications, and claims tnat
he has in his possession over one-half of
all the microscopical works which have
been published since the beginning Of that
study.
A microscope manufactured over $50
years ago was tested, and showed that our
ancestors had well-formed idea of
study which has found its way into the
