SUMMER SCHOOL WORK
Valuable Courses Of Study-Long
Beach Post 181

LONG BEACH, Aug. 1.-The summer
school is every day proving its value and
growing more popular. Prof M. A. Tucker
began his work this morning in child
study with a lecture on Individual Differ
ences in Mental Character" The study
dealt with precocity and genius as against
degeneration. Education must consider the
laws of heredity. Teachers must encour-
age the helpful tendencies and discourage
others.
The class in geography is working on the
beach, modelling the different continents.
The different slopes of the continents are
considered and the effect which the ele-
vations have on the climatic conditions,
commerce and industries of the people.
The work in Tennyson. also conducted
by Prof. Tucker, has just finished con-
sideration Of the poems giving Tennyson's
outlook and religious thought. "In Me-
moriam' Is to be taken up today.
The class in languages conducted by
Mme de Clairbeau Wilson is large one
and under the lady's instruction is making
rapid Roadway. Nine. Wilson, by the way
is native Of Paris. Conversation on
everyday topics Is carried on in French
by the more advanced pupils In her class.
M
German.
The civics class today studied, first, 1.-THE
County" and, second, 1.-THE State of Cali
fornia," comparing them in their special
features with the same forms of govern
ment in other parts of the union. Under
the first topic, the type represented, form
ing new counties. County officials and
their duties were considered. In the study
of the state the admission to the union,
political subdivisions, state officials and
their qualifications, term of office, salaries
etc., were discussed.
In today's lesson on physical culture ex-
ercises were given teaching the wrist to
lead, rather than the hand. This gives
perfect freedom to the hand by calling at
tention to the wrist, which is the thermom-
eter of our' vitality. New classes are to
be formed for a two-weeks' course. as
many are DESTROYS of taking UP the work.

HORTICULTURAL COMMISSION
What Is Being Done Among the Fruit
Pests and Scale

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug 1.-The
monthly report of the horticultural COM
mission for July shows that the expenses
were $5S6.5O, of which $2OS was paid in SAL
aries of commissioners, $31510 in salaries
Of inspectors and $63.4O was incidental. AS
regards the work, Chairman s. A. Pease
says in part:
I'm the past month we have been making
active preparations for the coming fumi-
cation season. The old tents are being
overhauled, mended and painted. We are
introducing some new features, one of
which Is a rotary sewing machine to be
used in the field which we expect will ex-
pedite the work to such an extent we can
avoid entirely the use of glue In menling
the tents.
Comparison OF our last seasons fumi-
eating with that done by contract work
shows emphatically in our favor. Proba-
bly, $50 acres in this county were fumi-
gated by two contract outfits and think
it safe to say that there Is not one tree in
the lot today free from black scale; some
of them are very badly infected. This
shows conclusively that 1t is absolutely nee
essary to have the work done by methods
which will abolish the excuse or incentive
to withhold chemicals or shorten the time
of exposure, keeping the tents over the
trees, for the purpose of increasing the
profit to individuals.
1--WE have supplied Vedalia Cardinals for
white scale in twenty or more orchards and
few orchards have been found infested
with few Aspidiotus Aurantii and Aspi-
diotus Citrinus and been fumigated. One
ornamental tree was found infested with
Aspidiotus Ficus and fumigated. This Is
the first instance have known of Florida
red scale thriving outside of a dollhouse.
and can account for it only by the fact
that the tree grew directly under large
acacia tree.
Notwithstanding the commonly accept
ed theory that black scale succumbs to
excessive heat, the season thus far proves
70 be very favorable to them and they are
found in many places which have hereto
fore been exempt.
Among lot of orange trees, 300 IN num-
Der, brought in from another county,
which had been dipped, our inspector has
found a number infested with Aspidiotus
Aurantii, showing the careless manner of
work that prevails in other counties. The
whole 300 will be fumigated without de-
lay
Some of the fumigating outfits will be
at work by Auguct 10. and the balance will
follow as soon as they are ready. About
900 acres have already been placed volun-
tarily on the list for fumigating and orders
come in daily that increase the acreage
materially"

RIVERSIDE, Aug John White, the
Los Angeles boy who was arrested and
lodged in Jail here some days ago to answer
a charge of grand larceny, was today dis
charged from custody on the motion of Dis
trict Attorney Gill. The latter officer. after
looking into the case and examining the
evidence concluded that it would be diff
cult to get conviction In Whites case.

to make hard fight for the release of her
son. Leonard Cunningham, the boy who
was implicated with White in the theft of
DR.. Macomber's horse, was Whittier pa

Company l. han received sums of money
ranging from $500 to $500 from their homes,
and as consequence all the companies
have floors in their tents and other con-
veniences. Captain Finley, in recent let
ter, stated that each member of the COM
pany had agreed to donate 81 out of his
next months pay towards few comforts,

remembered the boys in many ways, might
contribute something towards the fund.
