largely attained by the enforcement OF

IMPORTANT ACTION TAKEN
BOARD OF EDUCATION MAKES
STRINGENT RULES.
Report of the Committee on Elemen-
tary Schools Adopted at Spe-
cial Session-Check Placed
on the Principals.

The Board of Education made great
stride toward raising the standard of the
public schools of this city last night when
it adopted the report of the committee on
elementary schools in reference to the
examination of pupils for promotion to
higher grades. Heretofore there has been
a great deal of laxity in the matter Of
conducting examinations for promotion;
in fact in many of the schools the Gus
tom has been to promote whole classes
simply on the recommendation of the
teachers through the principals. This an
tiquated method is to be done away with
completely and the principals will here
after be held strictly accountable for the
efficiency and qualifications of the pupils
under their charge. Those pupils who fail
to attain the degree of perfection re-
quired for promotion to a higher grade
will not be able to secure advancement
through the good offices of their teachers
as heretofore.
The board met in special session to re-
ceive the report of the committee, which
was presented in the form OF set OF res
olutions prepared by superintendent WEB
ster by request, as follows:
Resolved-F'irst-Tha written examina-
lions for promotion of pupils in all grades
from the fourth the eighth, both inclu-
sive be held at dates TO be designated by
the superintendent, in the following manner,
TO wit:
supervision of principals shall examine and
credit the papers of the pupils or the grades
next preceding on questions submitted from
the superintendent's office in the following
subjects of study to wit; - ,,,..,s.
(a) Spelling, defining, word analysis;

% Grammar or language lessons; stand
(c) Arithmetic (written) standard 100

Bicycle Order DELAYED.

OAKLAND, May 1.-THE City Council
tonight again postponed action on the
bicycle ordinance. A delegation of wheel
men, headed by Seth Mann, appeared be-
fore the Council and made a plea that
cyclists who respected the law should not
be ordered off the sidewalks and that the
law-breakers should be arrested and pun
ished. Other petitions asked that the
cyclists be kept off the sidewalks entire
ly, and the matter was again sent back
to the street committee. 1t also passed
a resolution ordering the Board of Works

deavorers are to gather here Wednesday

A SCRAP Of PAPER
LIGHT COMEDY AT THE OPERA
HOUSE.
clay Clement and Company DO Credit
able Work in an Adaptation Of one
of Sardous Plays.

"a Scrap of Paper" was the bill at
the opera house last night, given by
Clay Clement and his company. 1t is
light comedy, adapted from the
French of Sardou. The plot is a flimsy
one, scarcely enough to string together
three acts of the little drawing room
incidents that French comedy-writers
are fond of presenting. In the case of
"A Scrap of Paper" the incidents are
somewhat tame, until the third act, in
which there is a good deal of bust
ness" The scrap of paper is a note,
written three years before the opening
of the playa little love message that
lay undiscovered till it's writer had been
married to another man than the one
to whom it was addressed. The finding
of this mssive by the man who should
have got it years ago and the efforts of
the writer and her friends to get II
away from him, bring about the Incl
dents of the piece. The all important
bit of paper is lost again, half burned
and frantically traced through three
acts, until the holder finally capitulates.
falling in love with a fair cousin of the
woman who was rash enough to write
it.
AS Prosper Couramont," the tardy
recipient of the note, Clay Clement
had a part very different from what
he has been playing here and the oc-
versatility. 1t is long step from THE
Bells" to "a Scrap of Paper" Mr..
Clement sustained his light role very
creditably, making the most of the OPP
portunities the author gave him. Mrs.
Clay Clement was Mile Suzanne de
Reeseville," the cousin who came to the
rescue of the imprudent writer of the
love-note. The part was very credita-
bly, taken and Mrs. Clement was vigor-
ously applauded several times. AS the
Baron de Glaciere" II. G.. Lonsdale was
very good and Jeffrey D. Williams APP
peared to advantage in the part of
"Brisemouche." Miss Bertha Foltz made
a success with the role of the Baroness
de la Glaciere," the young wife whose
note is the cause of all the compica-
tions.

HAWAIIAN TRAMWAYS.
Company Admitted Regularly Before
Court as Defendant.


Judge Perry Wednesday afternoon
overruled the motion of attorneys for
plaintiff in the Southwick- Hawaiian
Tramways matter to disbar the defend
ant corporation from appearing in the
case for the reason that it had not
complied with the law in the matter of
filing certain papers. He said that the
company was certainly entitled to the
right to defend itself against actions,
and the general issue must rest and be
determined. Attorney McClanahan eX-
cepted to this ruling and gave notice
of appeal. He will file his exceptions
tomorrow morning. This is only one of
the many phases of the case.
