Of the teachers and try to ascertain how and why they were appointed.
 If the reports that I have heard of the matter are correct" said Director Head yesterday, "the whipping of the boy Mcknight was nothing less than an assault and an outrage that de- mands full investigation.
 ''I never heard that it was the duty of 1anitors to assist teachers in per forming their duties, and I don't be- lieve that 1t was ever contemplated that a burly, puffed-up janitor should handcuff a stripling of a boy in order that he might be beaten to the satis- faction of the teacher or principal. His denial that he ever put the cuffs on a scholar, when this boys story was corroborated by Miss Mead, the prin- cipal. Is evidence that he knew he was doing wrong and that he feared the consequences.
 Miss Mead had her proper recourse, and that was to send the boy home if he became too unruly to handle. think this case, as well as others l have heard of, simply through rumors that now appear to be worthy of fol- lowing up, seems to call for the fullest overhauling and the passage of strict rules that will stop all such methods of cowing the rising generation of boys that are to become our citizens
 What The Call reporter saw at the school simply bears out what I have always contended-that half of our evening school-teachers are young girls, who are not competent to handle the classes that they are paid to teach. The larger portion of the evening school pupils are large boys, and. from

Tho Whole Matter Will Be Brouoht Up by Director Head Next
 Wednesday.

The story published exclusively in yesterdays Call of the manner in which James Mcknight, a scholar of the John Swett Evening School, was beaten by the principal of the institu- ton after he had been handcuffed by the Individual who holds the dual po- sition of tanitor and special policeman mas caused intense indignation among certain School Directors, and an in vestigation is certain to be demanded at the next meeting of the board.
 The main demand for a thorough 'overhauling of the school will be on account of the Mcknight case, several Directors deeming that such methods are not only prejudicial to the best in terests of the department. but tending to degrade the boys who are so pun ished. The lack of discipline shown at the school will also come in for an investigation.
 Director Head. who has always made a stand against severe modes of pun ishment and whose contention has al- ways been that the evening schools are over well supplied with incompetent teachers, will open the ball on Wednes- day evening next by requesting that in future janitors be required to attend strictly to their duties for which they are paid, that of cleaning class rooms, lighting and eXtinguishing lights and such other matters as are required of them. He will demand that 1anitors be ordered not to assist teachers in pun ishing pupils.

The Lucky Louise mine, in Madeira County, owned by the Shaw brothers and the Lauguenour family of Wood land, Is producing ore of great value. Samples tested at Selby's indicated value of $500 to the ton. The mine was discovered twenty years ago and only slightly developed. Subsequently there was lucky find, but the treasure un- covered was thought to be only pocket The Shaw brothers bought the property for $10.00O.

SWINDLED BY BULLETIN

$. B. Leavitt, senior partner in the paper firm of s. B. Leavitt & O., of 509 Sacramento street, had a similar experience to so many of the other patrons of the Bulletins special edi- tion. In response to a request for a statement of his experience, MT. Lea witt said:
 Yes, we were swindled by the Bull letin. representative of that paper came to us and kept bounding us for a week for write-up. He told us that 1t would cost us nothing, as the Bulle- tin was engaged in writing up the commercial progress of the city and desired to include all the well-estab- lished houses. We told the young man that We had nothing to advertise; that our business was all with the printing trade and needed no advertising. The young man returned several times and we made the same reply. Finally he came in and said that they proposed to give cut of the building and want ed few data as to the history of the | house.
 As they insisted that 1t would cost us | nothing we finally consented and told him to write 1t up himself. This he aid, and proof of the matter was re- celVed by us with request that 1t be returned. We paid no attention to this. and next received letter similar to that published in yesterdays Call ask Ing why we did not send back the proof. We paid no attention to this either Then another letter came asking for return of the proof. and thereupon it was sent back by us. Then another solicitor called and asked me if we would not be willing to give a little something to help the paper along. talked 1t over with the book keeper and we decided we would give 50 to help out Then the solicitor asked me to sign paper stating that I was willing to contribute something toward the expense and for the first time in my | life 1 signed document without read | ing 1t. supposing it was merely a prom | ise to contribute small amount at my own option. In a few days the article appeared, and almost Immediately came collector, who. presented a bill | for S31. l was thunderstruck to think that we should be called upon to pav such sum. Thereupon the collector produced contract signed by me by which l agreed to pay s1 line. I read 1t and told the collector that if was true I had signed the contract. but 1t was under gross misrepresenta- ton, and that I would not pay it. I told him that the solicitor had assured me 1t would not cost anything further than any small amount we might care | to contribute toward paying the ex pense of the edition The collector de- nied that they had represented it would not cost anything, and said it in such way that I and the book keeper both told him he was liar and ordered him out of the house. The next we heard was that the account was in the hands of a collector, where 1t still remains We certainly shall not pay it. l have always had a great re- spect for the Bulletin people, and never l supposed that they would resort to such methods. Why, they are worse than highway robbers, for a highway robber will give you a little chance to protect yourself"
