CHAUTAUQUA SUMMER SCHOOL
Meeting of the Board of Managers
Yesterday

At the recent meeting of the county
board of education. Prof. 0. p. Phillips
presented the claims of the Chautauqua
summer school to that body, and after a
| thorough discussion, in which 1t was
| brought out that the school is to be for the
study of methods of teaching, and for the
better fitting of teachers TO perform their
work, and also for those who may be in
tending to pass the examinations for GER
titicates. the board unanimously passed the
following resolution:
1T is with pleasure that we, the county
board of education of Los Angeles county,
California, recommend the summer normal
school in connection with the Long Beach
Chautauqua assembly. to the teachers of
Southern California.
Being acquainted with those at the head
of the institution, and knowing the plan
and purpose of the work. we wish to say
that we are glad that Southern California
is to have such a school, and that 1t is our
hope that 1t may be made pertinent fac
tor in Southern California educational
work. JAMES d. GRAHAM. Pres.
SPURGEON V. RILEY. Sec.
Such endorsements as this will insure the
attendance of a large number of teachers
from all over the country as It is seldom
that the so-called normal schools are of
any value to the teacher but are in reality
but place to learn the idiosyncrasies of
the instructors. Certainly such a school
as this is sure TO be under the present man
agement and with the patronage of the
Chautauqua assembly will be able to ac-
complish what could not be done by any
private institution.

When the case of Charles Compton was

it being the time set for sentence the
prisoner having been convicted some time
ago of the crime of forgery, Attorney Shinn

his motion, which, however, met with but
scant sympathy from the court, who dis
agreed on all points with Compton's coun-
sell Judge Smith nevertheless continued
the time for the defendants sentence for a
few days in order TO examine critically the
printed instructions to the jury submitted
by the prosecution and allowed by the
