DIR. JORDAN LECTURES.
DIR. d. Starr Jordan, principal of STAN
ford University, California, delivered a
short address yesterday afternoon in the
geological rooms of the Imperial Uni
versty, Tokyo. There was a large at
tendance of students. Introduced by Pro-
fessor lima, president of the University
Geological Society the speaker announce
ed at the outset that he did not propose
to tell them of the history or $50 nvesti-
cations Of Louis Agassiz, because they
could find those in "A cyclopoedia. He
intended to bring before them "A man who
was the greatest in science that America
or perhaps the world had ever seen. He
emphasized what he called the keynote of
Agassz teachngs-that the things them
selves, not the books which dealt with
them. should be studied. He sketched
briefly the early life of the subject of his
lecture, his enthusiasm his love of ma
bire, and his vicisstudes, coming at
length to the career OF Professor Agassiz
In America. AS showing the thorough
ness OF his methods, a story was told of
his system OF teaching, and eventually
the speaker disooursed upon his own per-
sonnl experiences Of the Professor, He
described I'm some detail the experiment
made by Professor Agasslz. who, IN order
to disseminate his methods OF teaching
over the country held three months
class, attended by th'rtv men and twenty
women on an uninhabited Island eighteen
miles from the mainland. The methods
resorted TO by the great teacher and va
rous incidents attending the stay Of the
class there were dwet upon, and DIR.

Maps showing the proposed street
changes In Chinatown were brought be-
fore the heads of departments yesterday
by Superintendent McCandlesf There
was a general consensus of opinion that
commended 10 Mr.. McCandless that he set
apart certain day on which all property
owners OF old Chinatown he invited to
meet with him to look over the plans and
offer their suggestions.
Mr.. McCandless believes that this will
accelerate matters and allow him TO pre-
pare maps OF the new streets and extern

finally allows the owners to build on their
holdings no hitch will occur.
