WANT HIGHER EDUCATION,
An Enormous Recent Increase
of High School Students
in the State.
State Superintendent Black Visits
City Schools and Talks of
School Affairs.

S. T. Black, State Superintendent of
Public Instruction, is in the City visiting
some of the public schools, particularly
those in the districts south of Market
street and around Telegraph Hill. Yester-
day he gave some of his views on the con-
dition and needs of the public schools gen.
orally.
81 think" he said, 'that the public
schools ought to be entirely beyond the
influence of partisan politics. The mem
bership of school boards might well be re-
duced, and the personnel OF board should
be only partially changed at each election.
cit seems to be the opinion in the prin-
cipal cities I have visited in the East that
continuous boards are needed. 1t would
be much better if only one-third instead of
all the members of the San Francisco board
went out of Office every two years.
"While in this City L wish particularly to
examine the conditions of attendance upon
the schools in the poorer districts. If there
be a smaller proportional attendance than
in other parts OF the City L want TO learn
the reason for it-whether it be on account
of poverty of because of lack of interest
among the foreign element.
AZ hope TO visit every school in the State

iourned have travelled $500 miles for that

Superintendent remarked that there has
been in the last year great increase in the

cipalIy to the establishment throughout

EGGS ALL SUMMER.

How to induce hens to lay eggs all summer
in California, as they do in the other States
east of US, appears to be not generally known,
and yet it is simple thing to do, which the
writer demonstrated twenty years ago in Santa
Barbara with the most satisfactory results.
Carloads of eggs constantly come to California
from the East, and our money is sent away TO
pay for them, while the poultry business in
this State is sadly neglected. Here is home
industry which can easily be developed and
made an important factor in the increase of
our prosperity and in the enjoyment of our
people.
The production of fresh "home-made" eggs
in summer would be no insignificant item in
the development of home industries, and to
that subject invite the special attention of
our farmers and fruit-growers, and ask them to
put to practical test, on ever so limited a
scale if need be, the method which is herewith
submitted, and to make thorough trial of it.
If the hens have quit laying, month or six
weeks may be required to put them in the
''notion" of laying again.
Every poultryman and every groceryman in
the State knows that after the fall rains come
and the grass grows for month or SO the hens
begin to lay And why is it? Simply because
they are supplied by nature with the proper
food. The poultryman who wishes his hens to
continue in the business must offer them the
inducement which nature does when the fall
rains renew the green grass and cool and
moisten the ground; that is, he must provide
them with all the green feed they will eat, but
IL may well DC CdDDhSe dllu NcSctdDIes SUCH rs
hens like in the place of green grass, and a
supply OF coarse fresh meat in the place OF the
worms and bugs which come with the green
grass. They are also very fond of fresh fruit,
tomatoes etc, which may be unfit for the
market or which will not pay to ship to mar
ket
Hens suffer in summer from the heat, as any
one who has eyes in his head can see. but only
because they are not properly protected against
it. They need deep shade and plenty OF fresh
water, with fresh, moist earth turned up daily
with the spade or pillow for them to use in
cleansing their feathers and getting rid of
vermin. Their yard and nests should be kept
clean and fresh, the yard cleaned thoroughly
every day. In many places in California the
sunfower will grow as a weed If IL is planted,
but will grow with great yigor if properly Gull
tivated. 1t will then afford a fine shade for
the hens, though fig trees afford better shade
and leave room for the air to circulate. Sun
flower seed is superb feed for the hens.
These hints will serve to point out the way
to success in producing eggs in abundance in
summer, If Intelligent men and women will
follow them out with thoroughness in the
management of their poultry. 1t is high time
for better development Of the egg industry.

the State of district and union high schools,
but in a measure owing to a growing desire
to prepare for college.
1t seems that in the last four years, or
since Stanford University opened, the num-
Der of college students in California has in
creased 400 per cent.
Mr.. Black said that last year s school
census tor this State showed an increase
af about 10000 children between the ages
OF five and seventeen years, and $500 OF
that increase was in Los Angeles County
alone, 300 being in the city itself. The
so-called school census, he explained, is
misleading to the public when the census
number is compared with the actual num-
Der enrolled in the schools. The census is
taken only as a means of forming some
basis for apportionment of school funds
by the State, and does not show the num-
Der of persons of school age, which is be-
tween six and twenty-five years.
With respect to teachers and teaching
he said:
1--WE want State normal graduates in
our public schools, and preference given TO
teachers who have received a grammar
school or high school training. And I
should like to see more men teachers.
The proper education of a youth requires
that he should come in contact with teach
ers of both sexes. The mother properly
has the earliest influence over the child,
and even up to the age of 9 the child
should have woman teacher. There is a
time in the boys life when he has little re-
spect for a woman, a time when children
generally give their teachers the most
trouble-about the age of Ii. or when they
are in the sixth grade. After that the boy

Chief Deputy Collector Loup walked up
to him and said: my good fellow, ! am
not in the habit of giving advice, but II you
know what is good for you pay that $25
and $12 30 fine at once and say nothing
more about it''

When the restaurant-man got home dep
uty marshal was in charge of the restau-
rant anG he was arrested for selling liquor
without license. He sent for his attorney
and once more repaired to the Internal
Revenue Office.
This time he was very penitent, but
Chief Deputy Loup could do nothing for
him, so he had to go to the Marshal's Office.
There he paid the $25 license for his res
taurant, the $12 30 fine and SAT so ex-
penses, and went home sadder but wiser

up with the cracked and fading master
