that one rarely sees an old man in the

Brown, Instructor in Pedagogy, tc
| those assembled
After the professor had thanked his
audience, Inspector-General Townsend
gave the different courses of study and
proceeded to organize the classes.
After the explanation of the courses
to be given, a short intermission was
taken, during which many questions
were asked and answered. Mr.. Town
send opened the discussion of the new
course of study, saying that when it is
printed, which it will be within a few
days, teachers will note changes of con-
siderable Importance. These are of two
classes, those made from necessity and
those made because they are thought to
be desirable. 1t has been found that
the present course of study calls for
more work during certain years than
the teachers are able to do in that time.
The course has been modified, with a
view to requiring only possibilities
Then it is thought desirable to intro
duce more thought work into the
course. This is done with no intention
to reduce the amount of work on Ian
guage, but rather with view to max
ing that work more fruitful by placing
thought back of it. A large amount of
the space of the course of study is filled
with matter under the title ''geogra-
ply" 1t is not the purpose to make
this work in geography occupy any
such part of the time in the school as
it does of the space in the course.
There is no textbook to give guidance
in this work, so it has been found nee
essary to treat the subject more in de-
tail in the course of study. But little
change is made in the course in pri-
mary arithmetic, and that only with a
to make numbers measure. The course
in singing gives more attention to rote
singing at the beginning and staff nota-
ton at the end, the tonic sol-far meth
Cd being retained. More detailed dis
cussions of these matters will be car
ried on when the printed course ap-
pears.
Various other classes were conducted

Professor Brown is a graduate OF
Illinois State Normal University, OF
the class of 49, After some years in
the schoolroom as teacher he entered
Michigan University, where he took a
complete course. After this he devot-
ed himself to Y M. G.. A. work for a
time, being general secretary of the
Hillsda1e Association. Being all this
time especially interested in education
al work, in 1889 he went to Europe to
study pedagogy. In 1892 he received
his degree of Doctor of Philosophy
from the University of Jena. and was
at once elected Professor of Pedagogy
in the University of California The
following year he was given the assist
ance of fellow, and in 1894 an as
sistant professor was added to the de-
partment. Last month the regents vot-
ed him another assistant professor
(Dresslar) and a fellow, thus setting
the seal Of their approval upon his con-
duct of the department in an unmis-
taxable way
DR.. Brown, like all recent graduates
in pedagogy at Jena, is deeply i'm
pressed with the Importance of the
school Of pedagogues known as the
Herbartians, without himself being in
the strictest sense an Herbartian. He
was one of the organizing members of
the National Herbart Society, and is
one of the well-known men about the
meetings of the National Education
Association. He is a member of the
Committee on Course of Study of the
California Council of Education, and in
this capacity comes in close touch with
the best thinkers and workers in the
elementary schools of the State He is
also worker in Institutes, and in this
capacity has instructed a very large
percentage of the teachers of Califor-
MIA.

There is difference between Art
and Fashion. Fashion is not seeking
after beauty. The newest is not neces-
sarily the most beautiful. Witness the
modern hat no longer a thing of
beauty. Fashion has to do with new
things because they are new, and what
is new and therefore the fashion now
will ere long be old and out of date.
The teacher should seek the things that
are beautiful. because they are the
things that are good. Good teaching in
the days of Socrates is good teaching
today. Trick teaching is so new that
it will be old and out of date before
long. If we are to consider teaching a
line art we should ask: What are some
OF the characteristic features of Fine
Art?'

the new cases did not run up rapidly
here today, the deaths were somewhat
numerous, comparatively speaking
having reached five as early as 6
o'clock this evening. One of the fatal
cases, however, presented the same old
story of neglect and concealment. Do

his sickness was made to the board
and no doctor called in until it was too
late to do anything for the man. He

case of Matthew Levy was Of some
days standing. William Bockfield, who
is among the deaths today was the
bookkeeper of the Metropolitan Bank.
He came here a few years ago, has
wife and six children in Germany and
was in good circumstances. He was
taken sick on Monday and he died be-
fore noon today. The bodies of these
five people were promptly buried. The

There were sixteen new cases today.

CONFLICT OF COURTS.

When the supreme court of the Dis
trict of Columbia held that the order
of the president, forbidding the arbi-
trary discharge Of employees within the
classified lists of the civil service, and
requiring removals to be for cause I'M
der charge and specification, with a
right of defense, was ultra wires, the
common opinion was that this would
put upon the president the responsible
ity of the execution of his order. Judge
Cox plainly intimated that the presi-
dent could enforce his order through
his power of removal in case of dis
obedience. Since then there have been
several such removals made for the
sole purpose of giving place to Repub-
lican favorites, but we have had no
instance of the president attempting
to secure from his subordinates respect
for his order.
In several cases there have been ap-
peals to the courts for protection
based upon this presidential order.
Judge Cox, as we have seen, held that
the order was beyond the power of the
