HINDO0S PRAY FOR
GREAT BRITAIN'S SUCCESS

NEW YORK. Dec 27.-Hindoo astrolo>
gers. according to Bombay papers which
have Just been received, are connecting
the famine plague and British reverses
TO the peculiar conjunction Of the planets,
when on the 18th OF November seven
planets were in the sign of Scorpio. The
Hindoos OF Bombay. therefore, TO avert
further calamity and insure success to
the British arms. arranged for special
prayers and religious ceremonies at one
OF their great temples. Seventy-flve
learned Brahmins officiated. The first act
was the presentation of gifts 10 these
priests OF valuable shawls and money.
The priests then invoked divine blessings
on the rulers and ruled, and the people
sang hymns in Marathi and Gujarati, of
which the Indian papers give the fol-
lowing translation:
God grant that the illustrious and
merciful Victoria may always enjoy per-
feet peace and happiness; that feelings
of loyalty may remain deeply rooted in
the hearts OF her subjects. and that her
domain may be free from all foreign In
vasions. May all differences between the
rulers and ruled vanish; may her Ma
jesty's subjects move on the path of
righteousness: may all treason disappear;
may famine and pestilence fly away; may
the people Of the Transvaal come to re-
pent their acts OF folly, and may her Ma
jesty's forces gain glory and success on
the fields of battle in Africa
At the close Of the service three cheers
were given for the long life. glory and
success of her Majesty, the Queen En-
press.

grading on the teacher. Children. quick

the teacher got her job and would soon
attempt TO exercise pull on the teacher.
=. Alexander BeTgerot. president OF the
San Francisco Board OF Education.
thought that the chief causes of the evil
were the election OF school trustees. by
popular vote. the method of examining
teachers by the county boards and the
lack OF uniformity in the selection of
teachers. He suggested as remedy ma
uonalization and Capitalization of the
schools under a uniform system OF laws
He held that examinations should only be
conducted upon plans formulated by a
board consisting of the president and the
Stiles.
Frank II. Short of Fresno took a pes
slmistic view OF things, seeming TO fear
that the end of the nation might come
through political bosses and corruption
II teachers did not impart 10 their pupils
true ideas of good citizenship.
Benjamin Ide Wheeler closed the discus
sion with brief talk that was applauded
at frequent intervals. He expressed him
self as sorry that so much had been said
against politics and not one word in its
favor.
Political methods were declared to be
part OF the machinery for getting the
Government In running order and every
toral system Of choosing a President of
the United States showed how our fore
fathers had feared 10 place this function
directly In the hands of the people but
the politicians had manipulated things so
that now the electoral college was obso-
lete and stood upon the statute books as
a something that might some day get
us into trouble. He declared that as par
" organizations and party leaders are
fsScts the sooner we recognize this the bet
ter and that all citizens should take part
In such organization. At the present time
there was so much work OF the Govern
ment that was highly specialized that II
was being taken out of the hands OF the
politicians end placed in the hands OF ex-
perts. AS teachers are experts they
should be chosen by educators and not
by body OF men elected by the whole
people without regard 10 their qualifica-
tions, and the safest way 10 get profes-
sional excellence was TO invest special
lists with the appointive power
Several departmental meetings were
held at which business OF a purely tech
nical nature was transacted. Tonight
the teachers OF Sacramento gave a recep-
ton TO the members OF the association
The Capitol was brilliantly lighted up and
the corridors were filled with music and
well-dressed men and women. Tomorrow
will be business meeting and there will
be a reception tomorrow night at the
Crocker Art Gallery to Benjamin Ide
Wheeler.
