FLATTERINa OFFER.
Charles H. Keyss, of Throop Poly

tiattering offer to assume the presidency
Of the new Lick school, which is about
to open at San Francisco. This school,
which was founded by the sane man
who put up the largest telescope of the
world, on Mount Hamilton, is TO be con-
Quoted on the same plan as Throop in
stitute OF this city, and the directors are
anxious to obtain the services OF pres
ident experienced in this particular line
of work. 1t is to be sincerely hoped
that Throop will not loae the valuable
services Of Mr.. Keyes, as undoubtedly it
owes its success largely to his energetic
work. The Lick school, on the other
hand, would be congratulated if it sue
ceeded in getting such q man as Preei-
dent Keyes at its head. Mr.. Keyes is
now in San Francisco. but it is not
known whether or not he is seriously
contemplating making the change.
