The first volume of this work Is just
from the press, and careful perusal OF
1t shows that 1t is worthy of a high place
in educational literature. Richard u
Faulkner, principal of the Franklin Gram
mar School, San Francisco, has written
the Introduction to the book and also sup
piled some suggestive correlations.
Principally the work is intended for
school use but will also prove high
class work of reference for the broauer
phases of the history of the State. 1t be-
gins with the discovery of California ana
contains concise accounts of the early
voyages to the coast The establishment
of the missions is handled in a broad
way, and the principal facts are so ar
ranged as to be readily accessible and at
the same time show other important
events that hinge on them.

A SCHOOL INCIDENT
Little Birdie Soule Slaps One Of Her
Fellow Scholars

There was quite an exciting little tempest
in a teapot at the Olive street school yester-
day. 1t was the occasion of the giving
out of the report cards, and a number of
the pupils were disappointed at not being
promoted. Among the most expressive
of the scholars was little 12-year-old
girl named Birdie Soule, of the fourth
grade, of which Miss Devens is the
teacher. The authorities of the school re-
port that the girl has not behaved herself
very we'll, and thus her department was
marked low. When she reached the side
walk she saw another girl, Marjory Cross
ley, who, for some reason, she blamed for
her low marking, and at once attacked her,
siapping her face. The Crossley girl at
once reported the matter to Prof. Plummcr.
the principal, who told Birdie to go home
at once, but she refused to obey him. He
then told her to go to the office, and this
she also refused to do, when he picked her
up and carried her in, keeping her there
until the Crossley girl had gone, when
Birdie promised to go to her home without
further demonstration. The affair created
excitement among the schoi-
ars, who took sides according to their feel
ings. The Crossley girl denied positively
having been in any way the cause of
low marking. The incident would
seem to indicate the need for some old
discipline in the school,
