narrowness of their individual expert ence? Is 1t because our actual lives can not possibly bring to us the thought and activity of past generations that we turn to history for expansion and enrichment of knowledge? But to profit by this with sympathy. and we must never for get that the men and women of the past thought, felt and acted largely as we do to-day. And so, by studying ones own life and community in its tangible his tory, the student builds a bridge of sym pathy between the present and the past, and the broad avenues of history will life and thought.
 Our school children do not take them selves or their community very seriously. They are not students in these lines. Here, then, Is an imperative need for this bridge Of sympathy. and if needed for the pupils how much more fer the teach CTS. At this point we may call to mind that we influence our pupils not alone by what we are, but also by what We try to be, and that to be teachers truly We must be students and learners as well.
 Tn order, then, primarily to advance the thought and work of our schools and of universities in history study, and if possible to contribute something to the Teachers Club proposes to form a sec ton for work in local history. It mat ters little who Is leader. The three main points that will bring success are, that each teacher interested take up some par tcular question and work at it; that all cooperate by meeting and discussing the results of the work, and that a fresh spirit of enthusiasm and belief in the importance of history be infused into our schools

ON THE BLACKBOARD

Contrary to popular opinion, the weeks vacation accorded to the San Francisco schools during the Jubilee celebration does not meet with approval of the ma Jority of teachers in the department. for every day thus taken means so much greater crowding of pupils and teachers in the definite amount of work which must be accomplished before the close of the term.

 The matter of the High School teachers becoming contributors to the fund has been referred for decision to the District Attorney. The difficulty lies in the read ing of the law, which is not clear as to the position of these teachers in regard to the fund. The law provides that the County Treasurer shall deduct $1 from the monthly warrants of teachers, to be placed in the annuity fund: but as the High School teachers are paid, not through the County Treasurer, but through the city, no method has as yet been provided by which the contributions of these teachers to the fund can be re- ceived by the County Treasurer.

Our city is a financial center, center of capital, credit and exchange; it is a market for the products of farm and dairy of a great part of the surrounding country; it is a supply point for imported of commerce, is a port of entry for the growing trade from across the Pacific and around the continent, and 1t is the prin- cipal shipping point for the surplus wheat yield of the State.
