COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

I'm the matter of compulsory edu-
cation the Eastern cities are far ad-
vanced. The schools of Chicago and
Boston are the best types. The Chi
cago school particularly has been very
successful in its work of reform. This
school is located near the limits of the
city, about eight miles from the City
Hall, on tract of fifty acres of land
owned by the Board of Education. No
walls, bars or bolts exist, it being built
on the cottage plan. 1t is claimed that
so per cent Of the boys are cured of
truant habits and started on the road
10 good citizenship and that the mere
establishment of the school has great
~ reduced truancy in Chicago. The
per capita cost of maintaining and
schooling these boys is 81 35 a week,
a high figure, due to the small num-
Der of boys and the great number of
employees necessary. In Boston the
per capita cost is 81 43 per week, the
number of boys in attendance being
greater and the term of detention
longer as we'll. The buildings and
equipment in Chicago cost almost half

Superintendent Langdon of the City
School Department yesterday received
circulars signed by a sub committee of
school teachers of San Jose, containing
the information that the State Legis-
lature at its next session viii be MEM
orialized to make provision for increas-
ing the salaries of all teachers through
out the State The circular is signed
by George $. Wells, Louis Bruch, Rob-
ert A. Lee, r. NJ. Bland and J. F.
Smith, and makes an appeal to teach
ers to organize for effective work and
push the proposition to a successful
finish. The circular continues:
we desire to call attention to and
indorse the recommendations of the
Superintendent of Public Instruction in
his last biennial report and the action of
the biennial convention of the county
and city superintendents of the State
Of California. held at Santa Barbara
on May 10, IL and IL, 1904, in the mat
ter of amending the laws of California
in the provisions for raising school rev
enues, to wit: That the State taxes
be increased so as to give minimum
Of 50 per census child instead of 81, and
that the counties that are not already
raising the limit of so cents on the hun
dred dollars of county school tax be re-
quired TO raise an amount sufficient TO

ture Introduction of the best features
prevailing there into the local depart
ment. In view OF the fact that some
school buildings are to be erected in
this city under the recent bond ISSUE
Langdon discusses at length the archi-
lecture of school buildings in New
York. Cleveland, ST. Louis, Chicago and
other cities. The report continues:
The kindergarten. a part of the
school system of nearly all the East.
ern cities must soon become a part of
the San Francisco public schools. 1t is
considered by school officers and
teachers a great success and in no in
stance when once established has it
been discontinued. A kindergarten
might be established in some con-
gested quarter of this city and the sys-
tenn allowed to grow steadily but grad
ually. OF course, an apportionment of
school moneys in addition to the
amount allowed for elementary and
high schools should be made for kim
dergarten purposes. A recommended
ton to that effect will probably be
made by the superintendent for the
next school year.
