TEACHERS PLAN IMPROVEMENTS
FOR THE BENEFIT OF PUPILS

He favored: the abolishment OF the
present system and the distribution of
the school funds on the number, be-
longing to- each school. - The present
census was declared useless as it con-
tained too many factors of uncertainty
This afternoon Secretary McClymonds
stated that he and probably all the
other teachers in the State had received
an unsigned communication from
Sacramento in which the universities
of the State were charged with an at

to Grant ExtraditiOn Pa
pers Causes No Delay

: ALBANY, n. Y, Dec. 26.-Sheriff
Barry Of Cleveland, was refused an
extradition warrant for DIR. Leroy S.
Chadwick at the executive chamber
here this morning. The ground Of re-
fusal was that his papers failed to
prove that DIR. Chadwick was In the
State of Ohio on March 5, 1903. when
the forgery of the signature of Andrew
Carnegie, in which he is accused Of
having been concerned. with his wife,
Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, is alleged to
have been committed.

There was a good attendance. when

retary McClymonds read the minutes
of the last meeting. -.
The committee to prepare a. manual
on the teaching Of history. appointed
at the last meeting. reported through
D. S. Snedden, the chairman. The re-
Port was d verbal one. Snedden stated
that the committee had under consid-
Grafton the preparation of a manual,
but had not made much headway. 1t
was the sense of the committee that
tc make the study interesting and use
ful to pupils it should be supplemented
by other matters, such as stories and
biographical works. 1t was held that
no teacher can depend entirely on text
books TO make the study Of history in
teresting and profitable. Mr. Snedden
said the committee hoped to haye it's
manual completed by the close OF the
present year.
Professor Thompson. Of San Diego
ands Miss Ames of Napa took the. same
view of the matter as expressed in the
OL OCnOOlS
Langdon of San Francisco said he
found the use of several supplementary
books advisable and Professor Linscott
Of Santa Cruz thought the manual
should state what historical books
should be taken up and show the teach
ers just what to teach.
]. W.. McClymonds, chairman of the
committee on proposed school legisla-
tion, reported for the committee. He
said that the most important question
before the teachers was the proper dis
tribution Of State funds to counties and
districts. Before any increase was
asked. he said, there should be some
provision made for its equalization. AS
a remedy he suggested that the State
money should be apportfoned to the
several counties on the same basis as
the apportionment Of the county
money.
McClymonds also objected to the
manner Of taking the school census

POOR CHILDREN
NOT FORGOTTEN
Santa Claus Is Generous
to San FranciscO's Less
Fortunate Little Ones

Between FIVE and six hundred poor
little children were made richly hap
py last night when they were handed
Christmas gifts by the Volunteers of
America. The Juvenile festival of sur
prises and thanhfulness took place in
the basement of Pioneer Hall. which
was packed TO the doors. Colonel and
Mrs. Duncan and Others of the organi-
zatlon assisted Santa Claus to deliver
to the eager little chaps and lassies
the toys which will be cherished bv
them until another like season returns
There were go-carts for the scantilv
clad boy. who perchanos had never be-
fore known such kindness: there were
books and iremen's big. red protecting
head gear and fire department trucks
and ever SO many other articles which
will assure hours of innocent pleasure
for the recipients.
The girls were presented with great
dolls and medium dolls and small dolls
and toy furniture, which came pretty
nearly being the real thing: books
and blackboards and other articles
which would give the child receiving
them an impetus TO study
When all the Christmas gifts had
been distributed there came the presen-
tation Of boxes of candies and great
luscious California oranges and the ewes
Of the children fairly bulged with de-
light as they carted all their presents
away from the building to their. in
very many cases. exceedingly humble
homes.
Colonel Duncan and his wife planned
a musical programme as a preface to
the presentation of gifts, and the good
behavior of the children while the en-
tertainment was proceeding spoke
volumes for the little ones, some of
whom are being reared under sac con-
ditions.

The boy. with other companions Of
similar age, undertook TO climb per-

workmen do while erecting the struc-

accomplished. but JOhnston's descent

lacerated wound on his head. He told

STRIKERS ATTACK THE POLICE

Several Ohscsrs Hurt and One Of the Riot
There has been more or less threats
Of violence ever since the strike broke
out and some actual outbreaks, but it
became more apparent last night. A
party Of strikers met q detachment
Of pelies under the command of Lieu
tenant Moore, on Paulipa street near

hurled q stone at the officers, and was
at once placed under arrest. The po-

attacked them with stones. Several

the police drew their revolvers and
fired several shots at the crowd. Al
fonse Andrulius fell with bullet

ions fed.
Andrulius and the man first ar
rested were taken by the police to the
police station, which in a few min
utes was surrounded by a crowd OF
several hundred men. women and boys.
The temper of the crowd was ugly,
and for a time it looked as though
they would attempt to storm the sta
ton. Calls were sent for reinforce
ments, and in a short time several
patrol wagons filed with officers from
other stations cane upon the scene.
The crowd refused to give way, ana
the officers were compelled to fight
their way through to the station doors.
Several riots occurred along Marshfield
avenue. where mobs attacked squads
of policemen with bricks.
Lieutenant Prim, Of the Stock Yards
station. was badly injured by a large
dog while attempting to arrest
rioter who had fed into the saloon of
Tony Ezrskes, at 45S1 Hermitage av-
enue. When the officer stepped inside

his leg severely before be could beat
