chise tax which the city can impose.
The city sprihkles streets twelve
months in the year or - weeks. For
this purpose they use 5000 gallons each
day: this gives $4,000 gallons per week.
The Water company offers to supply the

THEY SHOULD BE REDEEMABLE

Gardner Bros, of Cherryyille, Castor
county, writes the State Treasurer that
the trade checks they are using are
transferable and therefore not prohibit
ed by law. The evident intention of the
Legislature, however was to compel the
person or firm issuing these checks TO re-
deem them in mcny when not used in
the purchase of goods. That this is not
done is the charge against Gardner
Bros. The Treasurer has referred the
matter to the Attorney General.

1t is a Disgrace for a Man to
Send Children TO Free Schools.

The first Of the teachers lectures wa'
given last night In Assembly ball by
Prof. Earle Barnes formerly Of Lelt n !
Stanford University. He spoke on "Ihe
Democratic Revolution Of English Eduta.
tlon." Mr.. X. 4. whitehouse introduced
him to the audience.
He said, In substance, that while We
sent educators to Germany to study
methods, very few went to England or
France. England is In state OF sduca-
tIonai revolution. 10 1870 not . school
houss In England was supported by the
state, and no universities or high schools
are so supported today. There Is no CO.
education In England After the age Of
seven years. There are many ciasses and
castss. He said he had . cousin in Eng
land who was heavily In debt, but sent
his children to day school kept by a
spinsssr because he feared his practice
would suffer IL they went to the free state
school. A boy Was at Eaton, and his
mother wanted him to invite home an
other boy who had won . free scholar
ship. The boy said he could not DO this
because he was Tout Of bounds" with
the other boy. Tho one was ri,h, the
other poor. AMI out Of snhool they ceased
to be regarded 90 equals. This system

over England. Soon afterwards, the dis
sentsrs, these Of the other Religious de-
nominations, also built schools. Then
there were two schools ami finally In 1870
the state bulls and began to maintain
schools.
"Ny love for the English people Is
great and yet must say that they ara
profoundly suspicious OF ideas while the
Americans like ideas. since 1870 there
has been new force Of teachers aad here
10 where the new system has come In.
The National Union is.now composed OF
40, 900 teachers. They meet every year In
annual session. Now at our great NEST

held In Los Angeles this year We discussed
every question under the sun. What did

They met and discussed concrete
problems.
There are no free high. schools In Eng
land, but there are many private Ugh
schools. The real opposition comes not
from the church and caste, but from
vested interests. Thsss vested interests
pass all belief. Put a state high school
beside a house and the house would be
ruined"
Prof. Earle p inted out by figures on
chart and bye e statistics the natu-
raj readiness of American and the
English children, 1t 'ag proven that
the mind OF the American child ,m es
much more readily to worldly ideas and
much more readily shuns local ideas
