PROFS. FOSHAY AND VAN LEW
Address the County Teachers Asso-
ciation-Election of Officers

The Los Angeles County Teachers
association met yesterday morning at
the high school at TO- o'clock. After a
vocal trio, rendered by Messrs. w. A.
Frew, F. A. Bouelle and e. r. Young
Superintendent j. A. Foshay gave a
very interesting resume of the National
Educational association that met this
last summer, in Milwaukee, and to
which Mr.. Foshay was delegate.
He spoke of the inspiration derived
from a large and representative gath
ering of the leading educators in the
country; of the advantages to be de-
rived; the stimulation and inspiration
that resulted in actual contact with
others working along the same lines
Mr. Foshay spoke of the interest every
body he had met had shown concerning
California;; of the value of educational
gatherings to q place as well as the
individual, and said it was estimated
that $500, 900 had been left in Milwaukee
and vicinity.
Prof. c. c. Van I.iew of the State Nor
NAL school was introduced and followed
with an able and convincing talk on the
Community Life of the School," which
was followed with close attention and
called out enthusiastic applause.
Election of officers was then in order
and all of the present officers were unan-
imously reelected, as follows: ]. b.
Nillard, president; c. W. Plummer, vice
president; J. w. Henry, secretary; j. w.
Hornby, treasurer.
After the transaction of other routine
business the meeting adjourned.

The Associated Charities

To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald The officers and directors of
the Associated Charities are disgusted
and discouraged.
If the people of this city could realize
what efficient work is being done, how
one dollar is made to do the work of two,
otherwise expended, to what extent they
are relieved from the solicitations of the
needy and would even take the trouble to
investigate the work of the Associated
Charities just a little bit, they would
certainly render it better support.
A few days ago there We're sent out
1000 return postal cards appealing to the
people of Los Angeles to take member
ships at 81 per year or to contribute
larger sums, as they might prefer. To
these there were only seventy-siX re-
sponses-nine of which We're regrets
The 924 persons thus far not heard
from not only failed to respond, but have
kept the return postal cards, which cost
the Associated Charities 1 cent apiece.
The faithful workers of the organiza-
tion have for months and months been
working absolutely without compensa-
tion. They have relieved untold distress
and they have saved our citizens thou
sands of dollars in money, as well as re-
lieving them from numerous importuni-
ties of the INDECENT. They are willing to
continue the good work if they can be
supported in it.
The officers and directors desire to
know whether or not the people of Los
Angeles want the Associated Charities
to disband and cease operations. I'm
less substantial encouragement is speed
lily forthcoming steps will be taken to
disincorporate and suspend the work
which is so ill appreciated and the ef-
forts which are not being supported.
VIC PATTERSON,
One of the Directors.

Helena is about to begin Il cruise in foreign

never but once before visited by an American
warship. She will spend ono year in reach.
ing tho Asiatic station. to which sho has been
recently assigned. and during this time will
cruise far up the Euphratcs River, explore the
Gulf Of Persia, and show the American flag in
ports where 1t has not been seen from a war

department direct that the ship sail from tho
Norfolk Navy Yard, where she is coaling, on
Thursday next. She will first go to bermuda
for q few days, and then start for Gibraltar.
From there she will go to all the ports on tho
principal islands Of tho Mediterranean not
usually touched by United States vessels. She
will arrive at Alexandria the latter part Of tho
winter in time for the gay sea son. and leave q
week later for the Red Sea- All ports along the
Arabian coast which she can enter will be

For years he was secretary of tho
M. E. Sunday-school Union, and
editor of its publications. He was
one of the founders of the Normal and
international Sunday school Lesson

for the Government. in accordance with a re-

ing the Kansas Pacific property, with a view of
bidding in case the postponement occurs. Gov.
Hoadly was asked by the Attorney General to
ascertain from the Reorganization Committee
whether that body will object to tho postpone
ment of the sale. 1t was believed to be neces-
sary to do this. as the committe controls q
largo majority Of tho first mortgage bonds.
