in their various fields, act in hearty cooperation with this special work thus sweeping away the oft-repeated objection that there is no time for this subject
 Working toward the end that there shall be no break between the kinder garten and the higher grades, where manual training usually first finds a place, one step in advance has been taken this year by the introduction of this work into the fifth grade. There are simple models in the sewing course for the girls, and for the boys the Sloyd course in drawing, as we'll as woodwork, arranged by Gustaf Larson of the Sloyd Training School, Boston. Owing to the number of classes to be accommodated it is possible to give the fifth-grade pupils only a one-hour period weekly instead of two hours, as in the other grades but the experiment is proving most satisfactory.
 "The present arrangement provides for the girls instruction in sewing dur ing three school years-the fifth. sixth and seventh grades - and in cooking two years-in the eighth and ninth grades-with Miss Etta P. Flagg in charge of both departments The boys, beginning with the fifth grade. have four consecutive years of training in Sloyd, with the privilege of return ing the fifth year if for any good req son they have been unable to complete the course. The series of models taught by MT. Larson are adopted in the course.
 In addition to the public school work there is a class in sloyd from the pri- vate schools paying tuition. Occa- sionally when opportunity affords eighth grade and high school girls are admitted to the sloyd classes, three having already completed the course.

.: found them; but it must be confessed that on first entering the building you felt as if you had stepped into some sort of an enchanted maze, with before .. you the solving of the puzzle of just wiere was the elevator, and on which floors were the various halls in which
 the Round Tables met. Had it not been for the polite ushers who took you in charge and steered you down the right corridors, you must have
 been hopelessly lost. These young
 ladies were students of the San
 Francisco Normal, under the able su- pervision of Mrs. M. M. Fitzgerald. The, spacious parlors of the Baldwin
 Hotel at all hours presented a busy . scene, for here was established the
 bureau of information, committee meetings were held and teachers from various parts of the State met to re- * new old friendships.

 weather which prevailed during the whole week, enhancing the pleasure of :the:cenvention and faYorably contrast ing with the rainy spell Of last year at this time

You are situated here by yourselves. With the people on the other side of the mountains it is diff ferent; they do not feel like taking radical action unless there is a wide spread concurrence of opinion.

 The vote for the special tax of $3O0O for this purpose was carried al- most unanimously, and the people of santa Barbara feel that manual train ing, which has hitherto proved itself so valuable, is now necessary and firmly established institution. The children, at all times full of interest, now accept this work as their right, and the matter of attendance is never questioned. Their fondness for the work leads them to put forth their best efforts, and rank in manual train ing is included with their other studies in the terms average.

 As far as l have yet observed it." continued Dr. Draper, this association of California teachers shows a com pany of men and woman who are thor ough!y aroused to the solution of pending educational problems of the day. 1 have never met a gathering of teachers who seemed more earnest and intelligent.
 From conversation with individuals. from the papers I have listened to and the discussions l have thus far heard at the Round Tables, I can readily be- lieve that the educational work of the 1 Pacific Slope is advancing as rapidly as anywhere else in the country. And I repeat that I believe the interest in | school affairs affects the masses here

A Harmless Crank.

= -An.old man named Thomas Dolan, em- pIoyed at 52 Eighth street as dishwashcr by Amos Peacock, managed to create a breeze in the Coroner's office last Thurs day evening by his striking resemblance .to; Albert Hoff, arrested for the murder of Mrs. Mary A. Cute, and by the pe- .usfliar. questions he asked. When he first came he wanted to know Mrs. Clute's maiden name, and on being in- formed by Deputy Coroner OBrien, dis agreed with his informant. He was eveatMaly induced to hunt pastures new and said he intended to pay a visit to
 the Chief of Police. Bui he did not do it. It has been learned that the old feI- low is d little cranky and was once given an. order for S50OO0 on a certain local bus iness firm, which he tried to cash and caused himself to be arrested for insan- ity. He was released as harmless.

to a greater extent than in the East ern States.
 T have always found that a cosmo- politan people influence each other in behalf of schools. The Germans, in particular, are very jealous of their privileges in the public schools, and they place very high estimate upon the value of good teaching. But of course there is always room for im- provement everywhere.
 
 The following report on manual training in the schools of Santa Bar bara was read during the session of the Round Table in the department of manual training, over which James E. Addicott of the San Jose Normal School presided:
 Those who have read the report of Manual Training in Santa Barbara as it was presented at the Round Table in 1896 during the meeting of the State Teachers Association at San Jose will remember that Miss Blake, the generous woman who founded this work six years ago, was still main taining the school, with a very little assistance from the public school funds, although manual training was virtually a part of the public school system.
 ''Ill health necessitating Miss Blake's release from the responsibilities occa- stoned by her ownership of the school, a formal proposition was made by her through the board of trustees that the running expenses of the school, in- cluding the salaries of two of the teachers. be assumed by the city-Miss Blake agreeing to be responsible for the salary of the principal, whom she named for the ensuing two years. At the expiration of this time she prom ises to deed to the city the lot, the man.

The exhibition of their drawings and models, including the last, which was the tool chest, was quite equal to that of their classmates; the twenty are boys, whose work was shown at the same time.
 Miss Rich. the principal of the manual training building, is this year ably assisted in the sloyd school by Miss Harriet Johnston, recent gradu- ate from Boston, and it is expected that the results at the close of the school year will prove even more sat- isfactory than heretofore.

 Mrs. Carrie Shaw Rice. one of the distinguished visitors who attended the State Teachers Association, is a member of the State Board of Educa- tion of Washington.
 Mrs. Rice came originally from Illi- nois, where she received her education in the public schools of that State
 In 1883 she went to Tacoma, and has ever since taught there long and faithfully. She is at present critic teacher in the City Training School.
 Mrs. Rice is widely known as a writer. Many of her poems are found in the lately published school readers, and her work has met with ready acceptance by number of fore most literary magazines of the coun- try. A volume of her poems, entitled Tn Childland Straying," has been re- ceived with marked appreciation, and is highly commended by critics of the United States and England.
 We print below a short poem, which goes right to ones heart: A NEW LEAF. He came to my desk with quivering lip The lesson was done Dear teacher. I want new leaf" he said ''I have spoiled this one." l took the old leaf stained and plotted And gave him one all unspotted, And into his sad eyes smiled: Do better now, my child.'

CARRIE PRICE SHAW.
 -Four years ago." said Superi@tend- ent Job Wood of Monterey County. we adopted in our districts a set of books for each grade of pupils to choose from and take home to read. In doing this we at first sent out a large list of suitable books for the teachers to experiment with, and later we had reports from various sec tions at the next County Institute. Then the books that the children didn't like were rejected, and the list of forty-five different books were scat tered through the grades of the pri- mary and grammar schools. It was only last year that We completed this list and placed it in the course of study throughout the county. In each grade, beginning with the second, there were eight or nine books for the children to read at home, and later they were ex- amined on their reading by the teach CTS and marked accordingly. The children have taken great interest in the plan, and at the institute meeting last fall it was reported that over 5000 books had been read during the whole time by the various grades.
 Tt was satisfactorily proven that children do enjoy standard literature as much as adults Scott, Dickens and George Eliot were the favorite authors in the grammar grades. In the pri- mary grades there is displayed a fond ness for fairy tales, mythical lore and stories of adventure.
 "Our experience has shown conclu- sively that school children do appreci- ate a higher grade of literature than is commonly supposed.
