his knife. The problem and its solution
may well be magined-woman, plus PEN
knife, plus pencil; result, disaster. But
though she cut her dainty, snow white
finger, she got in her vote and voted for
the winning man..
The balloting resulted in the election of
J: w. Linscott of Santa Cruz as president,
Mrs. Frances Deane of San Francisco and
F. NJ. Miller of San Diego as vice-presi-
dents, Miss Anna Murphy of Sacramento

monds of Oakland as railway secretary
and Miss Bessie G. Haslam of Santa Cruz
as treasurer.
AS the names of the successful candi-
dates were read off each was greeted with
burst OF applause. Mr.. Linscott making
neat little speech in his own name and
as the representative of the newly elected
officers. Among other things he earnestly
requested all teachers in California to be-
come members OF the association, express

destined to become an important factor in

Inc California Quartet then gave truly
charming Interpretation of Arditi's ex-
quisite waltz song, Come, Love, with
Me, in which Mr.. Wendell's silvery high
notes scared brilliantly above the other
voices, with an effect as beautiful as it was
artistic. AS an encore they sang Pinsutl's
arrangement of Lonpfellows poem, "The
Bridge, in which Mr.. Smith, the second
tenor, had chance to do some fine phras-
ing. The quartet's artistic work was
cordially applauded by the assem- bled
teachers, many of whom are known to be
exacting musical critics

force, and amid frou-frou of godet skirts

they might, they could not find more than

both were received with thanks.
The matter of making the best possible

considerable argument, but it was as III finally

ASSEMBLED TEACHERS STILL HARD At WORK,

dent. But of course woodwork does not
stand alone. Manual training is generally
believed to be a new thing. This is lar
from the fact. Thirty years before George
Washington's time this branch OF educa-
ton existed. 1t would not be difficult to
prove that manual training IS the Oldest
branch of popular education.
The next paper was by James A. Addl-
Colt Of San Jose, who took for his subject
THE Recommendation of Courses Deslr-
able and Feasible for Elementary Schools"
Among other good things, Mr.. Addlcott
said:
We are on the borders of new field of edu-
cational work. Many traditional ideas are
disappearing. The physical activities OF the
child have not been utilized as they should be
in the acquisition of learning. The time mas
come when manual training is recognized TO
be conducive OF intellectual development.
Manual training as treated in this report in
cludes bench work, paper-cutting, etc, Your
committee recommends specific course IN
each branch. In addition to the State course
OF instruction we recommend fifth course
of manual training and drawing. Up TO the
seventh grade the simple line OF work should
be followed, gradually leading up TO the
higher ways of art the artistic instinct is
developed.
The next speaker was Walter n. Bush
of San Francisco. who spoke on Courses
Desirable and Feasible for Secondary
Schools" in particular. He said:

and healthy development OF the system of
manual training In reports from twenty
seven schools it had been shown that other
studies have not been interfered with by man

manual training has not been consistent. In
a series of articles on public schools in a lead
ing daily only one article was devoted to the
system, and in that woodwork was styled car
pentering." While it was advisable to have
every boy brought in contact with manual
training, yet the committee did not feel dis

mittee Thought that the expense of an out

$4,000 If complete equipment could be Sc
cured at such a figure it would be possible to

ual high schools. II the citizens of California
are TO keep pace with the schools of the East
they must pay more attention to training in
the secondary classes.
The next essayist was Charles H. Keyes
of Pasadena, who spoke on the nature of
the preparation required for teachers of
manual training. He claimed that man
ual training would equip the student
better for the pursuit of the higher
branches when com bined with the usual
preparatory course than regular high
school studies without manual training.

teaching of trades that has its place, but
is not manual training as the committee
recommends it." He spoke of the differ
entiations of sex and said that it was I'M
derstood that the training of girls would
be directed toward their work in life
After lengthy and informal discussion
the report OF the committee on manual
training, understood in the sense of the
speakers was adopted by a unanimous
taken.

SCHILLER PROFIT
Over $4,000 Was Realized at the
Recent Monument FeS-
tival.
A Replica of the Famous Weimar
Statue Is to Be Purchased for
Golden Gate Park.

Last night in Norman's Hall the general
comm ittee of the Goethe-Schiller Monu-
ment Association met for the purpose of
rendering final financial statement.
President Bundschu presided and opened
the meeting with brief remarks setting forth
the fact that but $4,000 instead of $4,000,
the amount required to complete the pro-
posed monument, had been secured and that
the money realized at the festival held in
the Pavilion several weeks ago was not up
to the expectations of the association. He
thanked all those who had participated in
the festival, particularly the German and
American press of San Francisco.
In the absence of G. Bertheau, cashier of
the German Savings Bank, the treasurer, C.
Schmidt made the financial report, as fol-
lows:

An itemized statement from each booth
was then read by T. w. Dohrmann indicat-
ing the receipts from all quarters.
DIR. Gutsch moved the adoption of the
report and the motion was carried unani-
mously.
DIR. Gutsch read letter from the Com
missioner Of Lincoln Park, Chicago,
which was in answer to a request for in
formation regarding monument of Schil-
Ter located at that point. The work is
from Stuttgart, Germany, and is cele-
brated.
After considerable discussion on the
point Mr.. Entzmann moved that the course
taken by President Bundschu in that gen
tleman's controversy with James d. Phe-
LAM president of the Art Association. re-
garding the prospect of having a reproduc-
ton of the Rietschel monument of Goethe
and Schiller in Weimar be upheld bv the
Monu ment Association.
President Bundschu's desire all along has
been to reproduce the work of RietscheI
and the artists of this City have ed
sending away for works of art that they
claimed should be made somewhere in
America.
This practically settles the controversy
and as soon as sufficient money is realized
the Weimar monument will be duplicated

association, the election of new officers to
serve during the ensuing year and the
selection OF a place for the next annual
meeting. Much interest was manifested
in the election. The murmur of voices,
mostly feminine, resounded through the
sacred edifice, while every now and then

fit about seeking votes for her favorite
candidate, and what is more, getting them

The principle of charging for ,,. "know-how" is not forgotten by nro fessional men who have got on wei, ;n their work.

The Dog That Got the Ducks,

A good story is told of hunters from Washington who went to the coast of North Carolina to shoot ducks. There were six men in the party and they had three dogs with them. They hunted in couples. Shooting was good and from each of the six couples the sound of guns being being fired notified their friends of their success, for they were only a short distance apart Each couple was somewhat indignant, be. cause whenever duck fell their own dog failed to get it, one dog seeming to secure almost every one of the wild fowl. At luncheon time they came to- gether. "Well, what lucky" was the general greeting. Elegant. but your dog got our ducks" was the universal respond Then they looked at each other, while from out the little bay glided skiff loaded with ducks, in the forward end of which sat the dog which had gathered them in.-Wash. ington Star.

A LETTER has been issued in Phila. delphia by the American Anti-Vivi- section of Pennsylvania, appealing to the public not to circulate sensational stories about alleged mad dogs and the terrible results of people bitten by them. Such accounts, it states, fright en people into nervous disorders, and yet there is upon record great mass of testimony from physicians asserting the extreme rarity of hydrophobia, even in the dog. The letter quotes a number of prominent physicians in support of the theory that practically there is no such afliction to mankind as hydrophobia.
