the time of the founding of the Stanford
University the friends of the State institu-
ton somewhat bitterly complained that
Leland Stanford might have put his bounty
to better use by giving it to the State
University, and thus enabled it to become
one of the richest and greatest institutions
in the world. There was some idle talk,
further, to the effect that pique decided
the millionaire on his course.
But better understanding has since
come to prevail. Two special motives in
fuenced Senator Stanford. One was to
perpetuate the memory OF his son and only
child, whose hope and ambition was to
establish a great institution which should
teach poor and ambitious children the use
full vocations, the other was knowledge
OF the fact that the scheme of State uni
versity could not include to its full breadth
the plan of a practical education which his
own ideas contemplated. This represented
the most advanced theories of utilitarlan
education, in which even though the
highest scholarship should be regarded, it
was to be employed less for adjoining
effects than as having a direct bearing
upon the practical concerns OF life.
That the presence of the Stanford Uni
versity has spurred the State University
to higher achievements there is tangible
reason to believe. The old troubles which
formerly afflicted the latter and which
grew out of conditions formerly deemed
inseparable from the presence of politi-
cal element, are now matters of the past.
The tone of Berkeley is high, clean and
dignifed, and its numerous technical col
leges are guarantee that the leading pro-
LESSONS in the State will be guarded by a
lofty standard.
1t is not to be expected, nor could it be
advised, that another great university will
be founded in California by millionaire,
nor that anything like the vast endow-
ment-originally estimated at $40, 600, COO
with which Stanford started his university
will ever again be devoted by California
millionaire to one institution of learning.
Yet it is eminently appropriate that the
splendid examples set by Lick and Searles
in their princely gifts to the State Uni
versity should be emulated by more million
aires in adding to the strength, efficiency
and glory of the Berkeley institution.

large will be concerned almost exclusively
with the declaration of the platform on the
money question. The action taken In
Ohio will of course not be binding upon
the party as whole, for only the National
Convention in 1896 can do that, but 1t Will
still be regarded as an expression OF the
views of some of the greatest leaders OF the
party upon the policy which at this juno
ture ought to be pursued. That 1t Will be
substantially the same as that OF the
National platform OF 1892 can be hardly
questioned. That platform was a PLAIN
declaration for bimetallism as opposed to
the extremists who advocate either gold or
silver monometallism, and affords there
fore a safe and secure standing for the con-
sentative elements of the country who are
in favor neither of the schemes OF Wall
street nor the vagaries of the Populists.

A SHAMEFUL CONDITION.

Andrew McElroy, chairman of the Com
mittee on Buildings and Grounds of the San
Francisco Board of Education, in an inter
view published in yesterdays CALL gave
some astonishing information OF the
shamefully bad condition in which many
of the school buildings in the City are
maintained, and he declares that it will
require an average of $4,000 each to put the
sixty or seventy houses in a wholesome
condition. Equally discouraging is his
damaging assertion that School Directors
in the past have given more time to the
marrying of teachers than to the care OF
the buildings.
If in the management of City public
schools the teachers themselves should be
permitted the exercise of large influence
there would be far better condition of
affairs. Most of them are women, and the
fine organization of women makes them
peculiarly sensitive to the presence of con-
ditions which make against health and
comfort. And yet of all refined and edu-
Gated persons engaged in intellectual pur-
suits they find themselves under the con-
troll of a system which permits of no liberty
of speech, no incentive to originality of
thought, the least liberty of opinion and
the smallest power in controlling their en-
vironment. 1t seems clear that while dis
cipline and uniform scheme are neces-
sary to their management, it would be
wise to stimulate them in all possible ways,
to make of them advisers instead of
drudges and to expand them with encour-
agement.
Fortunately for San Francisco the su-
perior natural drainage and the constancy
of the ocean winds enable us to ignore with
comparative impunity hygienic laws which
elsewhere would bring down the severest
penalties. But there is limit to the for
bearance of nature, and it is noteworthy
that about the only epioemics which
attack the City are those which originate
in the public schools, and which are due to
violation of Shygienic sense. If every
teacher in the department should be re-
quired by the Board of Education to file
his written opinion of the physical needs
of the schools the department would learn
many important things, in addition to the
bad sanitary condition of the schools, of
which it is now ignorant.
IF the schoolhouses are as bad as Mr..
McElroy says they are they should receive
prompt and adequate attention. In as
Stunning to educate its children the City
cannot afford to imperil their health. And
the thing that none of us should forget is
that though children have wonderfully
elastic vitality and, to all appearances,
quickly recover from unwholesome SANTA
ton, every outrage perpetrated upon their
health will give an account of itself in the
years to come. With all the natural con-
ditions for producing the hardest and most
wholesome race in the world, it would be
nothing short of criminal to nullify these
benefcent influences and introduce an
element of weakness at the very beginning
OF life. Every citizen of San Francisco is
morally responsible for the smallest injury
done to any of the thousands of children
who attend the public schools.

OUR TWO UNIVERSITIES.

The selection of Professor T. r. Bacon
OF the University of California to deliver
the baccalaureate address at the gradua-
ton exercises of the Stanford University
was happy and convincing evidence that
the frlendliest relations exist between these
two great institutions. While no special
reasons for unfriendly rivalry have ever
arisen human nature has its weaknesses,
the two institutions have their partisans to
operate In the direction of antagonism,
and few persons would have been surprised
to observe an absence of good feeling. A.

SPRUNG A LEAK AT SEA,

Arrival of the American Ship James
Nesmith From New York.
The American ship James Nesnith ar.
rived in port yesterday morning LAG days
from New York. When she was out three
days she encountered circular storm and
sprung leak. All hands were ordered to
the pumps. and were kept there day and
night until the storm abated. Five DAYS
later an off-shore gale struck the ship, and
put her almost on her beamends.
The captain decided to run into Ber-
muda, and at that port the cargo was
shifted forward. An examination was
made, and the leak was located aft near
the stern post. The vessel was laid ND at
Bermuda for ten days. The leak was not
as serious as was thought at first, but the
skipper to steer for Bermuda. From the
latter port to San Francisco the trip was
uneventful
