Peter Magerus Causes Considerable 9
Excitement ON Third Street.

Peter Magerus Causes Considerable Q
Excitement on Third Street.
Peter Magerus, proprietor of the Ala
media lodging house, 147 Third street,
startled people in that locality last night
about 10 o'clock by rushing into the
street shouting and throwing his arms
wildly about.
Policemen Beamer and O'Meara were
attracted by the crowd and the noise, and
when Magerus saw them coming he ran
back into the house followed by the off,
GERS. They caught him on top of the
stairs and grabbed hold of him. He
fought desperately, trying hard to bite
the officers, and it was with the utmost
difficulty that they succeeded in putting
the handouts on his wrists.
He continued TO fight all the way TO the
Receiving Hospital in the patrol wagon,
and in his madness bit piece out of the
cushion that was under his head. He was
locked Il o in padded cell.
Magerus WAS arrested Thursday night
for throwing man downstairs in his
lodging house. The charge against him
was assault to do great bodily harm.
The case was dismissed by Judge Joachim.

come TO the school.-Jennie M. A. Hurley, prin-
cipal, June 1S, 1897.
This list nor the supplementary notes
was not supposed to be made public IN
any way, but it leaked out that changes
were in contem platioG, the reports to be
used as excuses for the same, and then
there was a general roar.
A mum beT Of teachers who knew that
their names were on the list called at the
Board of Education yesterday to learn
what there was in the reports, anu were
assured that the matter would be 1u'ly
Investigated before any action was taken,
and that it would depend somewhat on the
tenor OF previous repor.s whether any
changes were made.
Director Derham speaks in plain terms
what he deems the boards object is In
contemplating changes.
This is simply plan to make places
for the friends of the majority IN the
Board" he said. 1.-THE Solid Nine has
ruled things ever since we went into ONCE
with a high hand and 1 have no doubt
this Job will go through like the rest.
There is no end to the raw work OF this
board and those directors who try to do
the duty for which they were elected are
prevented from doing it by the methods
of the ma iority.
'It may be tnat some Of these teachers
should be transferred or removed, but
wherner they are guilty or innocent they
will be turned out, if the majority dares
to do it, simply because their positions are
wanted"
Director Armer is also outspoken and
declares that the operations OF the
ma jority are shameful. He cites the in.
stance of sister of Director D-ucker. who
was placed on the unpaid substitute list
recently and in less than thirty days was
promoted to q vice -princlpalship at $1OO
per month, when dozens of more com Pc
tent teachers, who had long been waiting
for positions, were overlooked.
The reports will come up at the next
meeting of the board.
The following is self-ex planatory:
OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF CoMMoN)
SCHOOLS SAN FRANCISCO July "a, 1897.
To the Editor Of the Cdt-DEAR SIR: Permit
me, in reference to the adverse reports ON the
qualifications of teachers which have recently
found publication, to quote the rule OF the
Board of Education under which the reports
of principals to the efficiency of teachers
are required:
"To make a written report TO the Superinten-
dent the month OF June each year as to
the efficiency aDd success OF the teachers In
their schools. Such reports shall be submitted
to the committee having charge of such
schools"
In accordance with the rule quoted above
the reports were made, copies drawn and filed
with the proper committees by the Superin-
tendent required, their contents otherwise
maintained as secret.
Not having been able to make an extended
investigation OF schools before the termina
ton of the school year owing 20 brief occu-
pancy OF office, the Superintendent has made
no report Whatever on efficiency of teachers,
and any statement otherwise is made under
mlsapprehension.
1t is matter of legitima to regret that affairs
involving the professional status of teachers,
the majority of which could be adjusted by
judicious reclassifcation, should have been
published. Very respectfully yours.
r. H. WEBSTER, Superintendent.
