ITALIAN SCHOOL
IS DIVIDED BY A
PEDAGOG|C ROW
Old eaCher Starts a
Rival Class.

The board Of directors that controls the
destinies of the Italian Government
School has dismissed from it's staff Mrs
Margherita Mosca, who for nine years
officiated as principal of the institution
AS direct result of the dismissal the
school mourns the loss of over one hun
dred pay pupils, while the Italian colony
boasts another school established under
the direction of the discharged instructor
The Italian school hourishes after the
regulation daily school hours in the LIE
Corte Primary School building on Powell
street between Jackson and Washington.
An annuity of $500 provided by the Italian
Government suffices to cover the regular
expenses of the school, which up to sew
eral weeks ago was presided over py
principal and a staff of three teachers.
Now the newly elected president of the
board, 6. Almagia, adds to his many du-
ties that of principal, and the staff has
gained in the addition of new teacher.

that Mrs. Moscas dismissal was ordered.
When Mrs. Mosca found herself school
less she looked around for other worlds to
conquer and decided to establish rival
Italian school in Washington-square Hall
in the Bersaglieri building on Stockton
street. No charge for tuition is demanded
at the Government School, and monthly
fee is optional; Mrs. Mosca fixed the tut
ton at her school at 50 cents per month.
One hundred of her old pupils Joined the
school of the dismissed teacher and the
result is the Mosca School has all the pay
pupils, the Government school $50 pupils

WHERE CANDIDATES
MUST TAKE ORDERS
GAVIN McNAB IN THE MILLS
BUILDING THE MAN TO SEE.

When the delegates to the Democratic
Nominating Convention were chosen there
was great rejoicing over the announce
ment that independent, untrammeled anti
boss citizens would take the rens of the
party and nominate a clean ticket. At
the organization of the convention anti
boss declarations were greeted with APP
plause. When the applause subsided the
delegates meekly accepted the typewrit-
ten programme prepared by Gavin Nc
Nab and adjourned to the call of the
chairman.
There has been no session of the nomin-
ating body since the adjournment three
weeks age but the work of preparing a
Democratic ticket has been going right
along all the time at the Mills building
without the assistance of delegates. The
clever programme which Boss McNab
prepared practically takes the selection of
candidates for Supervisors from the dele
gates and transfers the duty to COM
mittee of seven.
1t must be clear by this time to the
boss-ridden Democratic Convention that

gested to Jasper Mcdonald the propriety

machine in the hands of Gavin McNab
when they adopted q resolution giving
Jasper Mcdonald, chairman. the power to
appoint forty members of the County
Committee. The delegates then surren-
dered themselves to McNab's dictation
and must now take what he offers. AS a
boss he is infleXble. He will interpret the
articles of capitulation to suit himself.
Much sympathy is extended to unsophis-
ticated aspirants for office who are going
around soliciting the favor of del
egates to obtain nomination. The
trained politicians who have had ex-
perience in political campaigns view the
spectacle with sense of humor. The

seen tonight by Call representative in

becoming the dumping ground for San
Francsco,s vice. He said: 81 cannot
speak with authority on any special case.
but it is certainly a fact that everything
that is too vile for San Francisco to
stomach is pushed over the line into San
Mateo County, and vice that cannot OBJ
tain license in the city fiourishes on the
other side Of the line where our young
men are being debauched and our young
women are spending their money In gam
