Japanese immigration.

Japan has brought a higher class with

TEN. Education is relatively hard to
get in Japan, where wages are so low
that student cannot afford to sup
port himself and go to school, too. But
the public schools in San Francisco
and the two great universities at
Berkeley and Palo Alto are free to
them, and ambitious young men of the
upper classes have been glad to come
to California, where they could work
as servants in private households and
hotels while preparing to take their
degrees. To such an extent does this
practice prevail that two years ago 1t
was estimated that there were 5000
japanese seeking education in Califor-
mia alone.
Only about 1925 were on the whole
Pacific coast in 1890. In the next two
years 1854 arrived at San Francisco,
and many more came by way of Vic
tora and the northern ports. The ar
rivals in San Francisco were 1880 in
1898, 1881 in 1894, 1850 in 1895, 561 in

San Francisco, with climate which

to supply adequate outdoor spaces
which are the property of its citizens

cart horse is less restless than his high

the bit in his teeth and run. We must
provide for him accordingly If we have
wit or wisdom.

the interest of good citizenship and of

The Knight on his prancing steed,
rode up to the Castle gate, and striking
his halberd upon his brazen shield the
changing sound rang out upon the
morning air and echoed through the
moated grange.

visiting Knight and responded.

into the grand hall where the fair lady
sat upon n raised dais beneath can

John shcrman,s First Speculation.

John Sherman lost his first position
in a surveyors party when he had

Salt was cheap in the head waters
of the Muskingum River, and it com.

1t seemed to young Sherman that it
would be a good scheme to put his lit
tie capital into salt, place the barrels
in small, tiat-bottomed boat, and let
1t float down to Cincinnati. making a
good thing out of the salt, as well as
getting back what the boat would cost
him. This is the description of the
speculation that is given by native
of Shermans birthplace:

upon the little whale yesterday said
they had never seen so diminutive a

that he was nevertheless whale. His

Tho story of q Musical Prodigy

Elbridge II. Gerry's fixed conviction
that the use of children as public en-
tertainers Is ruinous to their moral
and physical being has resulted in
much benefit for talented youngsters
and in deluge OF abuse for their pro-
tec:ors. Several years ago he called
in the aid of the law to prevent the
performances of IL child pianist. The
child was admitted by all qualified to
judge to be marvelously talented, and
as the young prodigy seemed to be
well cared for, the outcry against the
society was loud and long. But Mr..
Gerry never flinched and the law up
held him. Shortly afterward the child
was taken to Europe, and the episode
faded from the public mind. Ten years
later the same pianist reappeared, now
in the vigor of youth. His musical
gifts had been developed under the
guidance OF the most accomplished
foreign instructors. The public Won
dered and admired, but few knew that
the musician owed the training in his
art to the generosity Of the man who
had restrained him from concert play
ing ten years before. Maya
