JUST AN ORDINARY
SCHOOL EXAMINATION
NO POLITICS IN THE LATEST DE-
MAND OF SUPERINTENDENT.
Schools Can Only Be Graded by an
Inspection of the Pupils Work
and That Must Be Writ
ten Out

There has been a great deal of criti-
cism of the parents of school children on
the scheme of the Superintendent of
Schools TO demand from the classes writ
ten examinations to qualify for promo
ton. 1t has been denounced as a plan to
save work for the teachers and an at
tempt to shift the responsibility for
failure from the teachers who should
know the capabilities of the pupil, to the
pupil. 1t is charged that it is an attempt
on the part of the teacher to cram the
undone work of months into few weeks
much to the detriment of the child 5
standing, and it has also been charged
that it is an attempt to evade the proper
responsibilities of the instructor.
Superintendent Webster says. however
that the scheme is only to allow of a
more uniform grading of the schools As
IT is now he says. the only way he can
Judge of the standing of a school is by
an examination. He cannot go to every
school in the city and personally exam
inc each class, and so he must judge by
the standing of the pupils in an eXamina-
ton. 1t is of vital Importance, he says that
each school be on an educational equal
ity with every other. In some schools the
highest grade is below the second grade
of another, and when pupils are trans
ferred from one to another they find
themselves either far behind and unable
to catch up, or they are far ahead and
have to go over the work they have often
OO0e before. JneN lose time, grow HSl-
less and idle. and a real harm is done.
The only way to keep the schools on an
equality, Mr.. Webster says, is to exam
inc the pupils to find out just how far
they have advanced, and having done
that to hurry the slow ones and keep
back the too rapid.
There is no political significance in the
examinations. he says. 1t was reported
at one time that the idea of examinations
grew out of desire to find fault with
the teachers, and by securing resigna
tions from those whose classes made the
poorest showing make room for more ap
pointments to pay the political debts
of the board; but this idea is secuted by
the Superintendent. He says there can
be no politics in such proceeding, and
he lets it go at that 1t is well known
that one teacher may have an exception
ally dull class, while another may have
an exceptionally bright one, and it is re-
allied that the best proof of teacher S
ability is not always found in the stand
ing of her pnpilS.

A GENEALOGICAL RECORD.
Forecast Official McAdie Makes al

Alexander G. McAdie, forecast official
and section director of the Weather Bu-
reau, yesterday completed the April re-
port of the California climate and crop
service.
An innovation in the bulletin is the
table showing the weather and tempera-
ture conditions of this city for the past
twenty-eight years, compiled from the
records of the local bureau. The fact is
established that the climate has not
changed during the period covered by
these records. The highest monthly mean
temperature is 609, for September, and
the lowest SOL, for January. The rain
fall will be considered in the next issue
of the monthly bulletin. 1t is proposed
tC publish each month data relating to
some one or two stations, beginning with
those having long period records. Volun-
tary observers are requested to send rec
ords of five years or more, together with
any notes showing extreme conditions.
Mr. McAdie takes the opportunity to
thank the many voluntary observers for
the faithful work performed by them un-
der his predecessor. Professor Harmon.

Charges Against Him Dismissed.
Receiving Hospital Criticized.

The Board of Health held a special ses-
sion last night to investigate charges
against Deputy Meat Inspector j. j.
Flanagan, which were embodied in re
port filed by Chief Meat Inspector Davis.
While engaged in the performance of his
duty at Butchertown last Wednesday
night Flanagan became engaged in an
alteration with Albert l.. Noll, engineer
for Miller & Lux. Blows were struck,
and during the excitement of the mlXup
Flanagan bit NoI on the finger.
When the board convened Secretary
Dunno read a communication from Miller
& Lux in which they stated that the mat
ter had been brought to their notice and
that they had no desire to prosecute
Flanagan. Non did not appear, as he did
not wish to air the facts of his quarrel
with the Deputy Inspector before the
board
After hearing Flanagan's story the
board decided TO drop the charges unless
the representatives of Miller & Lux en-
bodied them in a formal complaint. AS
Flanagan has deeply regretted the oc-
currence the firm will in all probabl!lty
fail TO press the case any further. After
the meeting Flanagan was taken INTO
custody by Policeman Butterworth and
booked at the City Prison on charge OF
a letter was received from w. NJ. Page,
secretary of the Building Trades Coun-
ell in which he complained OF the treat
ment accorded one Zinkan at the ReceiV-
ing Hospital when he was taken there
last Saturday to be treated for severe
injuries sustained in falling from build
ing on which he was working. The com
munication was read and the board de-
cided to investigate the matter at the
next meeting. 1t ran as follows:
ITO the Honorable Board OF Health
Gentlemen: ] am instructed to bring TO
YOUR notice the case of Mr.. Zinkan,
carpenter, who was on last Saturday.

ing upon which he was working. He was
examined at the Receiving Hospital by
the doctor in charge at p. m. on that
afternoon and left in a ward without
any attention, not even being given
drink of water until 9 q. m. the next
morning. When his friends called and
requested TO see him permission was de-
MED. 1t was not until the following
morning when they called to take him to
another hospital that they were allowed
to see him.
Now, gentlemen. this is very serious
matter and | have no doubt that men Of
your standing in the community will see
that this shall not happen again. We. as
working mechanics, rely upon the service
of the Receiving Hospital while in the
pursuit of our daily bread. Such treat
ment as heretofore described should not
be tolerated in a civilized community.
Trusting that you will give this matter
early consideration, l remain: yours.

DEWEY'S COUSIN is HERE.
Arrived Yesterday on the China After
a Visit to the Admiral.

A. B. Dewey of Chicago, cousin of
Admiral Dewey, arrived yesterday with
his wife from Hongkong on the steamer
China. Mr.. Dewey has been in Manila
and Japan since January and in March
called upon his illustrious relative on his
flagship, the Olympia. in Manila Bay. He
spent three weeks in and about the city
and on the American firing line.
He ridicules the reports of Dewey's i'll
health and says that, on the contrary, the
admiral was in as good spirits and in
much better physical condition than he
after the ordeal he had been through.
Mr.. Dewey says the American volun-
teers, while they would be glad to be
home, at the same time are anxious to
stay where they are as long as there is
fighting to do. The health of the boys,
he says, is better than at any time since
they left San Francisco and the hospital
service has been reduced to an almost
perfect working basis.
Mr. and Mrs Dewey leave tomorrow
for Monterey and Santa Cruz.

DIED WHILE TRAVELLING
James de Fremery, the Well-Known
Capitalist, Passed Away on
Train in Colorado

James de Fremery, who, according to
the telegraphic dispatches, died in Colo
RADIO while en- route to this city, was the
founder of the well-known firm of Glide
meester De Fremery & Co. of this city
which is still in existence under the firm
name of James de Fremery & Co.

best known in this city was in eonnec-
Union, founded by himself, John Archi-
bald, Albert Miller and others in 1862, and
of which he was president for about
twenty-five years, the success of the insti-
tuition being in great measure due to his
financial skill and the confidence reposed
by the public in his prudence and integ-
rity.
Mr.. de Fremery was born on February
II, 1926. on the estate of his family at
Ouwendyck, near The Hague, Holland
in New York in 1S4S, where he engaged in
commercial pursuits. He remained there
three years and left for California by way
OI dIilNlDS mere III 1913.
Socially he was excellent company, hos
pitable and charitable; deserving poverty
never appealed to him in vain. and his
charities followed the ungrateful as they
did those who appreciated his benevo-
lence. He was man of extensive read
to the newspapers when there were OBJ
jects to accomplish in the interests of
progress and good government; he wrote
miscellaneous articles on many occasions
and published several books Of late
years he has been busy with the prepara-
ton of a local history.

years since in Switzerland For descend

A FIT SAVED HIS LIFE.
A Despondent Lover Was About to
Make Second Attempt at
Suicide

Fred Redhouse. who threw himself IN
front of one of the Sutro electric cars
about three days ago and who afterward
stated that his perilous position was the
result of an accident was taken to the
Receiving Hospital early this morning
suffering from the effects of fit. Short
ly after his arrival there some one COM
municated with Alice Reynolds, with
whom Redhouse is in love, stating that
he had cut his throat, and shortly after
ward the woman appeared with the fol-
lowing letter which she had received a
short time before
NY Dear Alice: When you read this letter

After writing the letter Redhouse went
to the Louvre, but before he had a chance
to carry out his intentions he was seized
with a fit and taken away in an ambu-
lance. He had no weapno In his possess

It Is Not a Trust,

The Supreme Court yesterday handed
down an opinion in the case of the estate
of Charles A. Steel, deceased of Los An
geles affirming the judgment and order
of the lower court. w. NJ, Charles A.
and Idella D. Steel, children of the de-
ceased. applied to the Superior Court for
an order of distribution of a norton of
the property. which was denied 1t was
from this denial that the appeal was
taken. They contended that the will of
their father purports to vest the estate
in trustees for the benefit of the widow
and certain other children, and that the
trust is void under the statutes of the
Civil Code against perpetuities, The Su-
preme Justices do not take this view of
the will and the appeal was denied.

COSTLY SUNDAY FISHING,
]. TILES Paid Two Hundred Dollars
to Break the Sabbath.

1t cost John TILES, a fisherman. just $500
and fees of an attorney to go fishing on
Sunday. Yesterday he was fined that
amount by Judge Hitchcock of Suisun for
violating the State law which prohibits
the catching of salmon between sundown
Saturday evening and sundown on Sun
day evening. The law was passed in or
der to give these fish an opportunity to
go up the rivers to spawn, but if the
nets of the fishers in the lower bay are
set all of the time during the run but few
escape.
The up-river fishermen favor the law.
but those farther down the bay want it
changed. The arrest of Titles was made
by Deputy Davis on April 9, together with
the contiscation of the mans net and
boat. Another net, for which no one has
laid claim, was found and taken at the
same time. This has brohen up the Sun
day fishing in Montezuma slough.
