With A TEACHER
0'C0nnor Wants the Head of
Classics in the Mission
High School Transferred

Trouble is brewing in the Public
School Department as a result of the
filing of charges by Joseph O'Connor,
principal of the Mission High School,
against Albert NJ. Armstrong, head of
classics in the same school. The
charges were recently filed by O'Con-
nor with Alfred Roncovieri, president
Of the Board of Education, and with
superintendent Langdon, who has
them under investigation and will
shortly report thereon to the board.
Roncovieri left his copy of the
charges locked up in his desk before
he went East and superintendent
Langdon declines TO make public their
nature before he has made his Of
fetal report. 1t is understood; how
ever, that the charges concern the
friction which has eXisteda for some
time between O'Connor and Arm

HOBSON v ANTS
HIS COIN BACK
Goes to Law to Recover Sum
From Alleged Get-Rich-
Quick Contract Concern

Believing himself to be a victim of
a get-rich-quick scheme, II. F. Hob
son yesterday commenced suit in the
Superior Court for the appointment of
a receiver for the Pacific States Mer-
camille Company and for the recovery
Of $4525 invested in 374 of the con-
GERMS merchandise contracts" Hob
sons attorneys are /. G. Carpenter
and f. w. Sawyer.
The complaint throws considerable
light upon the companys methods and
makes the declaration that in order TO
evade its obligations the mercantile"
combination has caused the organiza-
ton Of two other corporations, to
which It intends 10 transfer its prop
erty, stock and assets.
Hobson alleges that the business of
the defendant company is contrary to
public policy and he says that it is
guilty Of fraud in that it's contracts
cannot mature. He says that the
Postofiice Department has instituted
proceedings to shut the company out
of use of the mails and that within the
last few days four suits brought on
matured contracts have shown that
the concern cannot pay its obligations.
1t is further declared that the At
torney General of the State has been
requested to start proceedings for the
revocation OF the license of the com
pany and It is believed that the action
will be instituted, but Hobson SAYS
that before that time the company
will get rid of its assets unless a re-
ceiver is appointed.
Hobson AYERS that it has been the
object Of the company to sell as many
contracts as possible and then cir
culate stories as to its insolvency In
order to cause defaults of installments,
A sample contract is given as an ex-
hibit in the suit, from which 1t an
pears that the company's plan was to
give 500 worth of merchandise for
$50. It was required that IS down
should be paid and installments OF
81 so a week for thirty weeks. On
default the contract was voided, but
those who had made all the payments
could get 500 worth of merchandise
or the company would agree to sell
the stuff for SIS. Out of the payments
the company retained the $5 for its
own use and 25 per cent additional
Ten per cent went into the reserve

demption fund" for the purchase of

two educators have reached such a
stage that O'Connor declares it is i'm
possible for him to get along with his
subordinate in a way that would re-
dound to the best interests of the
school and he therefore requests the
Board of Education to transfer Arm
strong to some other school. The re-
suit of the controversy is being await
ed with much interest by local peda-
gogues. 1t is certain, however. that
no action will be taken in the matter
until Roncovieri returns from his
Eastern trip. This will be about Aug
ust 1.
The Board of Education is making
preparations for the opening of the
public schools tomorrow. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be a large in
crease in the attendance OF pupils and
in order to accommodate all applicants
a number of new classes will be estab-
lished in some of the schools. Among
these decided on are the Noe Valley
and the Dudley Stone schools, in each
of which a new class will be formed.
The latter school is having IN addi-
tionaI story constructed, which will
not be ready for occupancy until Sep
tember 1. Every preCautiOn has been
taken to prevent accidents during it's
construction. Platforms have been
erected all around the building and

Lecture number three on 0bed
fence, its value in the home, in the

delivered by Prest. Andrew Kim
ball who quoted "Train up a child
10 the way it should go and when
it is old it will never depart there
from" Said it is easier to obey
than direct, as the responsibility
rests on the those who direct.
Obedience is the first law of heav-
en- and order is the result 'Put
your house in sorder," said
the Lord, which can be done only
by obedience. Quoted from Paul,
Cor. Z. Gen. 16 If we were only
obedient we should have no need
of the words command or demand.
Referred to the prodigal son as an
example Of obedience after long
suffering. Said that in the church
the president stands as the father
or head and that by obedience to
the principles of the church, all
are benefited and therefore, there
is no sacrifice made.
There are two kinds of obed-
ience, implicit and blind. Implicit
is responsive, heartfelt obedience,
while blind obedience is that
which is forced by law. The
order 10 the church is so arranged
that each member must render
obedience, likewise the order OF
the Nation is that every citizen
must obey its laws.
Without obedience there would
be 10 harmony. Everything "a
