TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
THE THIRTY.EIRST ANNUAL
SESSION OPENED.
Over Hundred Of the Most
Prominent Educators Of the
State in Attendance.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27.-The
thirty-first annual session of the Cali
fornia Teachers Association was con-
vened to-day in the parlors of the Lick
House. Over 100 of the most prom
inent educators of this State were
present, and a most interesting session
was held.
The officers of the association are:
President, Hon. Samuel T. Black Of
Sacramento; Vice-President, Professor
George Howison. Berkeley; Secretary,
Superintendent J. w. McClymonds,
Oakland.
After the Secretary had called the
roll, Dr. T. Wood of Stanford Univer-
sity. was introduced and read the report
of the Committee on Physical Educa ton
and Hygiene, of which he is the Chair
man.
DR.. Myra Knox of Oakland followed
DIR. Wood. She read a paper on 1.-THE
Physical Condition of Pupils in the
Schools" :"
Miss Lucy Washburn of the State
Normal School at San Jose also read a
paper upon upon the same subject, en-
phasizing all that had been said in the
former reports
Upon the conclusion OF MISS WASH
burns address a motion was made to
the effect that the report of the Com
mittee on Physical Education ad Hygi-
enc be accepted This action is an
Endorsement by the Teachers Associa-
| ton of the views expressed by the
members of the committee.
Professor James r. Addicott of the
State Normal School at San Jose read
a paper on Normal Training" this be-
ing the report of the committee on this
subject.
motion that the report of Professor
Addicott be adopted met with some OBJ
lection from Professor Heaton of Berk-
eley, who said that the report in itself
was most excellent one, but in adopt
ing the report of the Committee on
Physical Education and Hygiene, the
association had taken the position that
already the curriculum of the schools
was overcrowded. He believed that the
work of specialists broached too much
upon the regular course of study.
Finally a motion was carried that the
report be adopted for reference to the
Committee on Hygiene.
Professor Washington Wilson Of
Berkeley presented partial report on
| Reading for Pupils" or "The School
Library" which was adopted, and the
Professor granted further time in which
to complete his report.

Come to Nevada.

A new amendment to the civil code
Of California prevents the re-ma'tyiDg
Of divorced people until n year has
elapsed after the divorce.
Most OF the divorces IN the gay and
festive golden State are made in order
to give people a chance to marry some
one else, and as a rule the cutting of q
legal knot in California is followed
by a couple Of wedding, usually in
about twenty-four hours, and the
matrimonial dance goes merrily on.
Now all this is changed and people
who wish to marry Immediately after
the divorce must have the knot tied
outside of California, and the easiest
way to do it is to come to Nevada, the
land OF pure mountain air and per-
sonal liberty, the land Of pine laden
ozone, sunshine and blue skies, where
the honeymoon is one long trail OF
bliss, where the music of cascades
make the delicious mconlit air of
night melodious, and the gentle winds
bear the symphonies Of love way up
in G. No malarious heat, no fleas,

ing that his acts were to be legally in

was for some time a fugitive from
Justice. When finally captured he
admitted that he had gone through
with the money, had a good time and
was ready to go to jail. Now the
Supreme Court grants him a new
trial on the ground that no formal
demand had ever been made on him
for the money and he may possibly
have it all ready to live up when
called on All that is necessary to
convict him on the second trial is to
get the Insane owner of the money
cured Of his mental troubles so that
he can make a formal call on Page
and demand his cash. La case Page
fails to respond he can have him
again arrested and possibly may be
able to convict him. If cleared Page

THE STATE LAND QUESTION
Register Pratt Compelled Under
the Law to Decline Overdue In
rerest Payments.

Attorney General Judge has given
an opinion to A. G. Pratt, State Land
Register, that the land embraced in
each and every contract for State land
on which either the principal or inter-
est is not paid when due, Immediately
and Internationally" reverts to the
State under the terms of the contract
and in accordance with the provisions
Of Section 8 of the General Land Law.
He is of the opinion that each and
every contract on which the annual
interest is not paid when due becomes
null and void by operation OF law, in
dependent of any action that may be
taken or attempted by the State Land
Register that receiving aud certify
ing an overdue interest payment does
not renew the contract. and that for
warding overdue interest lie a useless
expense on the part Of the contractor.
Acting OF the opinion Of the Attorney
General. the State Land Register will
refuse to certify any overdue interest
payment until the matter has been de-
cided by a competent court ard it is
shown that it is a part of his duty to
do SO.
Commenting on this the Reno Jour
nal says:
This will doubtless work a hardship
on many who have purchased land
paying a part Of the contract price as
we'll as interest payments from time to
time. 1t is to be regretted that this
matter was not more thoroughly un-
derstood by the late Legislature and
the proper action taken to remedy
what will lively work an injustice to
those who are DESTROYS Of holding the
land they have in part paid for and
which now under the strict construc-
ton of the law will revert to the State
Mr.. Pratt will not have any discretion
nor can he chow any leniency in re-
gard to payments, for the terms OF
the contract not only specify the time
Of and the amount of payments, but
provide that a failure to comply with
the provisions mean a forfeiture o.
all that bias been paid. Considering
the hard times and scarcity # money
it would seem a good business prop
osition On the part OF the State to give
everyone who showed a disposition t.

The Correct Idea,

All Chartz in the Genoa Courier
advances the following idea relative
to federal patronage, which is the
correct solution Of it;
There is a very pretty fight on for

trict Attorney G. A. Jones. Judge M.
A. Murphy, E. D. Vanderlieth, o. 81
Gray and Sardis Summerfield have
SHE'D their casters into the ring.
They believe they are entitled to the
position because they were staunch
Republicans during the last cam
paign. But I see no reason why Nc
kinley should not appoint a good
silver man TO the position. Senator'S
Jones and Stewart and Congressman
NewlaDds are all staunch silver men.
But they are now the best supporters
of the Mckinley Administrallon-the
tariff policy. I say they are the beat
because they nave it in their power to
defeat that policy; they have the
power to prevent the victors in the
last campaign from reaping any Of
the fruits OF their victory.
Therefore, il they desire, they can
dictate to the present administration
who shall succeed Mr.. Jones as U. s.
District Attorney. l believe they
should do SO, and I believe they
should give it to one of tn cir own
supporters, instead Of to their defam-
ers and opponents. The value Of the
support of our representatives to the
Mckinley Administration is ~uncalcu.
liable, and should not be given free OF
charge, and without reciprocal favors
I sadly mistake the temper Of oul
representatives il they fail to exac
something in return for their support
Of the policy Of the Administration
and if they fail to punish their enc
mics and reward their friends. There
is another eason why none of the Re
publican aspirants should be ap
pointed. 1t is well-known that the,
