1.-THE principal end of all education il
training" This Is given in that valuable
educational document, Report Of the
Committee Of Ten," and we are left to
interpret the word training" 1t must
mean the preparation for citizenship, or
the physical, mental and moral devel.
opment Of the children. Physical edu-
cation receives considerable attention,
and is directed by a special supervisor.
Two special supervisors direct the draw
ing. and the music is under the direc-
ton of specialist. To give this train
ing in the primary and grammar grades
there are 341 teachers, including the five
supervisors in special lines.
Regular promotion occurs twice q
year. but individual promotions are
made whenever pupils show that they
can do the work of the next grade.
Manual training as a subject is con-
fined to Sloyd, for the boys Of the sixth,
seventh, eighth and ninth grades. This
department is well equipped, and Ii
carried on by seven efficient teachers.
There are seven rooms for this work in
the following school buildings: Griffin
avenue, High School, Spring street. Sem
tous street, Twenty eighth street, Ann
street, and Second street.
The High School is the just pride Of
Los Angeles. 1t is the largest in the
state, having 1900 pupils enrolled and a
corps of thirty-five teachers. There are
five courses-classical, Latin, scientific,
English and commercial. Our High
School is now we'll supplied with appar-
atus to carry on thorough work in physi-
cal and biological science. according to
the best methods, as given in our uni
versities. The State University has es-
pecially complimented our English de-
partment this year. The commercial de-
partment is very popular and graduated
its first class of twenty-four last June.
The other departments are doing thor
|ough work.

DESTITUTE MAN AND WIFE
Pathetic Story of a Sixteen
Year Old Bride.

John Doddy, twenty-one years old, and
Amelia Doddy, sixteen years old. were
arrested at two o'clock this morning by
Patrolman Wilson. who found them
asleep in the shadow of a building on
Railroad avenue near Grove street. He
woke them up and asked them where they
belonged They declared that they had
no home, so he arrested them.
The story of the pair is a peculiar one.
They were arrested several weeks ago
for sleeping in vacant houses. Police JUS
tice CNevin conducted the examination and
became much interested in the case.
Doddy and the girl had passed as husband
and wife, but they were not married. The
girl. who was the daughter of a former
policeman who died three years ago, said
that her mother had married again and
that her stepfather had turned her out
of his home because she lost her work
and could not contribute to the support
of the family.
She had been engaged to Doddy for sew
eral months. When she was turned into
the street he secured a home for her with
one of his friends. She remained there
as long as he was able to pay her board,
but he lost his job and she was forced to
leave She walked the streets for two
nights and then she told him that she had
rather live with him than have no place
to 60 He was forced to leave his home
because of his love for her Together
they lived for some time in vacant houses
and wherever they could. They told Jus
tice Nevin that they wanted to get mar
ried Doddy said he would go to work
and support the girl Justice Nevin mar
ried them.
Doddy got work and they were dis
charged from jail. When arrested this
morning the pair declared that they had
no home. In the First Criminal Court
this morning Doddy told Acting Police
Justice Mccormick that he was working
and that as soon as he received his pay
he would provide place for his wife.
Justice Mccormick discharged them.

WANTS TO TAX EAST JERSEY.

Mayor Hoos today sent a Letter to the

that they ascertain if there Is any way in
which the East Jersey Water Company
can be assessed for personal property.
The Mayor is of the opinfon that the COM

delivering to the city.
The Tax Commissioners, upon the re-
eeipt of the Mayors communication met
and adopted resolution requesting Cor
poration Council McDerniott to give them
an opinion as to whether they can levy
an assessment against the company.
Mr.. McDernott has promised to make
reply in day of two.
