animadyersions upon the condition OF

Our observations have been made during
many years-in spring, summer, autumn
and winter-and we have found that at
no time have Main and Broad streets
been as well swept as they ought TO
have been. And this fault we have In
yariably attributed to the lack OF a
sufficient number Of street-sweeplng

We approve of the separation OF the

thing that is possible to make 1t more

NORMAL SCHOOL MATTERS
Mr.. Creighton's Resignation-1eet
ing of the Joint Board-Notes

It has been known for some time that
Telfair Creighton had cent In his resig-
nation as a member of the board OF
directors of the Los Angeles State Nor
NAL school. The resignation. however,
does not take effect until Mr. Creighton's $
successor is appointed.
The joint board meeting Of the two
normal schools of the state, usually held
in April. was postponed this year to meet
at the call of the governor. 1t will prob
ably meet in June, presumably in Los
Angeles, though this is not definitely
known.
NORMAL NOTES
Professor Pierce president OF the State
Normal school, returned on Wednesday
from a meeting of the state board Of
education at Sacramento.
DR.. F. B. Dressler, head of the depart
ment of pedagogy in the State Normal
school, has been elected to the same
department in the State University at
Berkeley. His labors there will begin
with the opening Of the fall term of
school. DR.. Dressler leaves Monday to
deliver an address at the commencement
exercises of the Arizona Territorial
Last Saturday there was some diseat-
isfaction expressed over the hurdle race
and shot-put at the interscholastic
games at Athletic park. 1t now tram
spires that a man was. brought in by
the high school, who had not been a
student within the three months re-
quired, and Elmo Proctor, whom they
claimed as San Jacinto high school
pupil, never went to school there, but
is resident and pupil in, Pomona. In
view of these facts the silver cup has
been given to the normal students, who
it seems honestly won it, pending a
! repetition of the hurdle race.
| At the coming commencement of the
normal school there will be four gradu-
ates from the kindergarten teachers

the only normal in the state in which
there is a kindergarten department, and
these ladies will be the first graduates
under the laws of the state.

drama, full Of fun ana frolic. tears and
| pathos. 1t Is story written in the
usual vein Of the triumph Of right over
wrong, the unhappiness of the op-
pressed and the discontinue of the viii
lain. The story, briefly told, is that of
a young girl, spirited away while a child
by the villain of the play. The child
falls into the hands of travelling show
man and fakir, lind-hearted ana in
dulgent, who does the best he can to
raise the little girl in the right way. ac-
cording to his ideas. She finally returns
to the home Of her childhood, unknown,
and falls in love with the hero. The
hero is accused Of a crime which he did
not commit, and all sorts of trouble
ensues. Finally. through series Of ad-
ventures and in various DISCUSSES, the
heroine outwits the villain, saves her
lover from disgrace and regains her
rightful possessions. In this play Miss
Putnam appears in several characters,
principally as the heroine, as Nanome,
the Indian princess, and as his Satanic
Majesty, and in such DISCUSSES does the
clever detective work which results in
the defeat OF the wrong and the triumph
of the right. New songs and dances
are introduced. There is fun and en-
joyment in this production, and excit-
ing interest in the fire scene. The COM
pany has been carefully cast, so the
parts will be in capable hands, which
will result in the splendid presentation
of the darma. The scenic effects are
to be elaborate. Prof. Krauss has a
splendid musical program arranged, in
CI,, Of his clever violin. EOInS
