MORE TEACHERS
TO Be ASSIGNED
Board Of Education Ready
to Place at Least Ten on
the Day Substitute List
NEW CLASS FOR CHINESE
School Director ROncOvieri
to Be Continued as Presi-
dent by His Associates
NEW CLASS FOR CHINESE

The Board of Education is preparing
to place at least ten new teachers on
the day substitute list, taking them
from the eligible list of successful con-
testants in the last competitive exam
ination. There have been already fifty
two teachers assigned from the latter
list and it is expected that before the
next competitive examination for
teachers is held next June seventy-five
teachers will have been appointed
The board is instituting inquiries
among teachers as to their desires in
the matter of leaves of absence, In or
der that sufficient number of substi-
tutes may be selected for the opening
Of the spring term on January 16, the
winter term, under the new order, be-
ing concluded on January 13. The
names of the ten standing the next
highest on the eligible list have not
been made public and probably will
not be until the board meets next
Thursday or at a special meeting to be
called at an earlier date. The assign
ments and transfers of a score of
teachers will also be made at the same
time.
The board will also establish one or
two more classes where the attendance
is very congested. 1t is contemplated
to form a new class in the Chinese
Primary School, where the principal
reports an increasing number of pu-
pills.
AS School Director Altman will con-
tinue in the place by grace of Mayor
Schmitz there will be no special cere-
monies in connection with his rein
duction to office. The board will meet
informally and proceed to the election
of a president for the ensuing year.
1t is understood that Roncovieri will
be continued as such by his associates.
Director Boyle, having but one more
year to serve would be entitled to the
presidency, but elects to withdraw in
favor of Roncovieri, whom he believes
to be deserving of the honor in view
of his Jealous efforts in behalf of the
welfare of the public schools.

The students of the Santa Clara Col
lege are making great preparations for
the production of their latest play,
which will be given by them at the
Alhambra Theater on February s. The
play, which is called THE Light Eter-
nal" is the work of Martin v. Merle,
a member of the junior class of the
college. 1t deals with the rivalry of
two students, afterward soldiers, in
the reign of Emperor Diocletian Of
Rome.
A strong character in the production
is Affius, which will be portrayed by
August Aguirre. In the original pro-
duction of the play at the college his
success was so great that the young
student won exceptional honors. Many
of the Santa Clara alumni who failed
to see the play at the college will take
advantage of the opportunity to visit
the city and see it at the Alhambra.
More than $50 students will also be
present from the college.

fore the Grand Jury. Judge Heacock
said:
The defendant himself has testified that he

even once you would know him again. It ie
not the person whom Mrs. vaIlade and her
daughter have identified as the man who pass

on December 20. They have positively iaen
tified him as the man who was there on Mon
day evening and on Friday evening. from

to his identity
The remarks quoted were melted by
the request Of r. N. Frick, of counsel
for Lee, for an adjournment until

the attendance of a witness VINO
would swear that a man resembling
the defendant, but not he, had passed
at bakery on the same street a IL

journment until 10 o'clock this morn
ing and then made the remarks just
quoted.

chant; F. ]. King Jr.. a butcher. and

that he had been under the impress
sion that he had arrested the defend
ant twenty years ago for forgery. On
further investigation he said he found
that 1t was Lees brother, Lyman Lee,
whom he had arrested on that occa-
sion.
The defendant went on the stand to
correct statement he had made un-
der oath on the preceding day when
he said that he had never been ar
rested before. He said that he had
forgotten at the slime his arrest sew
eral years ago for having deer meat
in his possession during the close sea-
son while camping. He had been ac-
quilted on that charge.

people got up very late I would not
cook breakfast but only make the cof-
fee. Tired of working and in a hurry
to go to school l would eat but a snack
and a cup OF strong coffee for my
breakfast and 1t was not long until
