animation on the charge of making s

try as the greatest judge and slipper
respectively, in the United States. and
also Dominick Shannon and j. r. Dick
son, President and Secretary of the Oc-

of coursing in California, and their
presence here will do much to stimulate
the sport in this county
The coursing men here intend to show
the visitors that they know how to con-
duct a meeting, and will do everything
in their power to give them a good
time. The grounds are in fine condi-

Meeting of Principals and Vice-Prin-
cipaIs to Discuss 1t.
The Committee on Course of Study
OF the City Board of Education met
yesterday with the Principals and Vice
Principals of the city schools to dis
cuss the proposition that has been I'M
der consideration for teaching music
: by note in the schools. Several mem
bers of the board were present besides
those composing the committee.
At the request of Dr. Huntington the
Chairman of the Committee, President
Davis, presided. He stated that the
meeting had been called for free and
informal expression of opinion as to
the feasibility and practicability of
giving the time allotted to music to
systematic teaching Of it.
The general sentiment of the Pri-
mary Principals was strongly il favor
OF the proposed system, while those of
the higher grades were rather disposed
10 be doubtful as to the feasibility of
the scheme, fearing that it would take
up too much time, as they evidently
thought that the whole system would
be introduced at once
Ex-Superintendent of Public In
structiOn Campbell, however, ex-
planned to them that the introduction
would be gradual, and would not weigh
down the course of study, but would fit
in as easily as the time now taken for
rote singing.
No vote was taken on the subject, the
meeting being simply to aid the coz
mittee in arriving at a conclusion as to
what action had best be taken in the
matter. The teachers expressed them
selves as being much pleased at the OPP
pcrtunity afforded them for discussion,
and before the meeting adjourned most
OF them expressed themselves in favor

There viii be a Generous Christmas
Tree for Them.
The Idea Started With the Salvation
Army, and is Being Helped
Along by Citizens.

In addition to the free dinner to the
poor on Christmas Day the Salvation
Army proposes providing the neces-
sary money can be raised to have a
Christmas tree for the poor children of
the city. Instead of the usual toys and
candy for presents, shoes and clothing
will be given to those children known
to be in need of them No discrimina-
ton in color, creed or nationality will
be made. The plan that will be car
ried out, as far as possible, is as fol-
lows:
A canvass of the city will be made
and where child under 10 years of age
is found in need of any article of cloth
ing or shoes to protect it from the cold
and wet weather of the winter months,
the parents will be consulted, their
names and addresses taken, also the ar
ticle, size, etc. The article will be
bought and a tag attached, a duplicate
OF which will be delivered to the child
and another duplicate attached to the
Christmas tree
In addition to the canvass of the city,
an office will be open every day from 8
m. to 6 p. m. at S21 j street The
main register will be kept there. and
anyone not reached by the canvass can
have their cases attended to.
Smiths Hall on Seventh street, be-
tween K and l., has been secured for
Christmas Day. Dinner will be served
from II till ,, and the distribution of
clothing to children will take place at 3
p m. In order to carry out the above
plan S400 at least will be needed.
Following are the amounts already
given of 50 and over according to the

There are few persons who cannot af-
ford to give something toward helping
along this most commendable move
ment. Every little helps, and there
should not be the slightest difficulty in
raising the small sum of $500 required.
If it were thousand the money ought
to be raised in few days.
People should not wait to be called

enough to do in canvassing the city in
the search for the names and addresses
OF the poor. Our Well-tO-do citizens
subscribe literally enough when money
is asked to promote some local enter
prise or public demonstration, and they
certainly can find something to give to
the poor and needy in the way of Christ
mas cheer.
The young men of the city who
think nothing of blowing in" dollars

the sums thus saved to purchasing
something for those who have not the

help those who are not thus blessed.
