TUTORS FAVOR
SPECIAL LEVY
Teachers Prepare to Secure
Signatures to a Petition
for Charter Amendment
WILL REAP BENEFIT
Salaries and Annuities May
Be Increased as the Re-
suit of Proposed Change

Ten hundred and twenty teachers
in the Public School Department are
preparing to support the Board Of
Education in it's announced intention
to petition for the submission to the
voters of a charter amendment provid-
ing for the levying of special munich
pal tax of 10 cents on each $l0O OF
assessed valuation for the maintenance
of the public schools.
Already the Board of Education
has received assurances, both verbal
and written, from number OF teach
ers favoring the proposed change and
pledging assistance in the consumma-
ton of the plan.
The teachers are prepared to act
under the charter provision requiring
the Board of Supervisors to submit
charter amendments upon the petition
of Is per cent of the electors who
voted at the last general election
They believe they will experience no
difficulty in securing the required
number of signatures TO the petition,
which must number 5000. This course
will be pursued only in the event that
the Board of Supervisors refuses to
pass an ordinance submitting the pro-
posed amendment to a vote.
The teachers are interested in the
proposition because it may result in
a slight increase in their salaries.
Again, with sufficient funds the
board could make an allowance so as
to increase the pensions of annuitant
teachers, now reduced to SIS month.
Then, too, the board would be enabled
to replace wooden school buildings
with modern structures. One of its
first acts under the change would
probably be TO erect Commercial
School building.

ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN
BY CLEVER CHILDREN
PupfIs of Miss Noonan Render Elab-

Pupils Of Miss Noonan Render Elab-
crate and Interesting Programme
at Steinway Hall.
An interesting affair was the recital
given by the pupils of Miss Agnes
Marie Noonan in elocution and
dramatic art at Steinway Hall last
evening. The opening number, Dun
bars Angelina in Dixie dialect, was
daintily given by ten young ladies in
white. with large yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS and white picture hats.
The harmonic poise movements by
several little girls in fluffy white, with
tambourines, showed fine training and
was the very poetry of motion.
''Wynken, Blynken and Nod" Eugene
Fields lullaby. was illustrated by
twenty little tots in nightgowns, carry
ing candles, and indulging in some
very artistic yawning. This was beau
tifully accompanied in song by 5.
Homer Henley.
The grandmothers, given by little
tots In the costume of 1882, hoopskirts
ana poke bonnets, made the audience
laugh merrily. Quite artistic and
pleasing were the maids of Japan,
with their graceful costumes and
pretty fan motions. The living dolls
an original conception by Miss
Noonan, was especially taking. Talent
ed little Ruth Smith. as the Partisan
doll. and her clever brother, Ormonde,
as the clown. introduced by Lewis
Ford. as the Snowman. evinced real
talent.
The single numbers, some Of which
were dialect and dramatic recitauons'
were especially well rendered. Ihe
closing number, THE Star-Spangleo
Banner" in pantomime by young Ia
dies in white Grecian costumes, was
beautiful, the effect being heightened
by the singing OF the solo by S. Homer
Henley, ably accompanied by Mrs
Edward Tillson on the piano.

ceed More Than Half Assessed
Valuation of Property.

the Objectionable swamp on Twenty
sixth and Army streets, between Ala
bama street and San Bruno road, be

necessary to grade Bryant, York, Har-
rison and Army streets, which run
through the swamp, at cost of $19,-

enthusiasm for the republican national
