ARTISTS MODELS SCARCE
New York's Colony Is Limited in
Numbers and Demand for
Them Is Stronu
Special TO The Herald.

Special TO The Herald.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Artists'
models in New York seem to be unlike
their sisters, the chorus girls, in one
detail at least They object to public
ity. 1t has never been known to help
them and very often it hurts. Artists
were suddenly confronted with the fact
that it was almost an impossibility to
secure interesting and refined types as
models, and for proof of this one had
only to visit the exhibitions, especially
those representing students work.
Many of the studies portrayed any,
thing but refined types of women. This
was the rule and not the exception.
OF course, it is a well-known fact.
and perhaps fortunate one, that New
York has no equivalent for the Latin
quarter and there are no colonies Of
professional models here as in Paris
and Rome. Painters for this reason
often have great difficulty in pro-
curing good models, and it is a pure
game of chance at that. Taking into
consideration the needs of the girls
who find it necessary to pose, and the
needs of the artists, too, there was
organized in New York several years
ago the Art Workers Club for Women.
The sole object of this club was to
establish more of a mutual sympathy
between artists and models as we'll as
to dignity the profession of posing and
put 1t on a recognized basis.

petent Men and Women and Ia
Apply Remedy

Self government in the schools, its
advantages and disadvantages, was
discussed by the teachers of the high
school division of the teachers institute
| yesterday.
The experiment has been tried in Los
Angeles for one year and It was voted
u success, though some of the speakers
raised objections to some parts of the
system.
Mischief and truancy," declared one
of the speakers, ARE the two most
prevalent crimes in school life. and the
self government plan has done more
TO put down these two than anything
which has heretofore been tried"
Some speakers raised the objection
to the system that the officers some
times fear to incur the i'll feeling Of
fellow pupils and thus refrain from
administering punishment when 1t is
due.
The polytechnic high school and the
system of controlling the lunch room
at that institution was cited as an ex-
ample of the effectiveness of student
control.
Arguments for and against compul-
sorry athletic and interschool were also
advanced by some of the speakers.
The Los Angeles and Ventura county
school teachers met i'm Simpson audi
torium and President j. f.. Millspaugh
uthNtItu lllC lctulllb duuIGSS OIL InC
session.
DR.. Millspaugh depored the early
age at which students leave the schools
and declared that as a result of this
society is inflicted with frivolous, half
trained and incompetent men and wo-
men in business and professional life.
TOO much materalism," says DR..
Millspaugh, and he advised the care
full attention of the teacher in remedy
ing the conditions
Kate L. Ames, superintendent of
Napa, Cal, addressed the city teachers
on THE Secret of Culture" Most of
us have too many social duties," said
Miss Ames. 1--WE must select Too
much time is spent in busy idleness.
For broader culture we must read
books, in addition to our studies"
And then she gave advice as to the
kinds of books to be read. Miss Ames
also advised that teachers refrain from
adhering too closely to examination
marks when testing the ability of a
pupil, saying that the general environ
ment of the boy and girl should be
taken into consideration. Measure the
child not by his examination papers
but by what he is and shows" she

FOR A HORSE SHOW

A movement is under way to organ
ize a horse show for Los Angeles. 1t
should succeed. A horse show is a
good thing for any city, when it is
properly conducted, making, as it does
for better horseflesh, better and more
correct equipment, higher class driv-
ing and more thorough consideration
of the horse and it's needs.
Horse shows in the east have been
held for many years, and are great
social and financial successes. New
York, Chicago, Louisville, Kansas City,
st. Louis, all hold fashionable indoor
affairs, while Newport, Philadelphia,
Atlantic City, Minneapolis and other
places hold open air functions. In
either case, some of the finest equines
in the country are sent for exhibition,
society turns out in droves, the pa
rade of both animals and humans Is
stunning and inspiring, and the con-
tests for ribbons are keen and close.
Showing at such an event is, of
course, rich mans sport. Fine horses
are costly and their keep and care
are expensive. But the poorer folk
love fine horses, too, and a show gives
them opportunity to feast their eyes
on the best in their several classes.
The sport is utterly free from the evils
that hedge about races; no betting is
permitted, and the judges are above
question.
If Los Angeles can have a high class,
well-entered and clean horse show, by
all means start the movement for It,.
Out of doors shows are possible here
any day i'm the year. and good horse
flesh hereabouts Is not scarce. 1t
would be interesting indeed to compare
the cracks of the east with the best
blooded equines of the Pacific coast.

OLD FIRE GLORIES PASSING

From the Plttsburg Dispatch.
Pittsburg will look still less like "heli
with the lid off, after the first of the
year, when the hot Stag trains from
the blast furnaces of the Carnegie
plants will be discontinued. Hereafter
the Stag will be moved and dumped
cold.
These Stag trains are about the last
OF the old-time fiery gories that made
Pittsburg's environs picturesque at
night. Years ago the Canada tops"
put stop to the great bursts of flame
that used to come from the blast fur
naces when charges were dumped into
them in the old-fashioned way, and
incidentally, saving the heat. Then
open hearth steel furnaces began to
dsplace Bessemer converters with
their magnificent towers of golden
flame, the open hearth furnaces show
ing no fire at all. The Stag trains con-
tinued a picturesque feature of the
Monongahela banks at night, but now
they, too, are doomed.
By the new process Stag is passed
under a spray of water as it is poured
from the furnaces into the cars to be
removed. This causes it to break into
fragments and cools it so that the
trains loaded with it are no more pic
turesque than trains loaded with pig
iron. The gPanulated Stag is used for
railroad ballast and other purposes.

THE NERVE OF A GIRL

From the Sedalia (Mo) Capital.
This is the story of Warrensburg
girl who is frequently the guest OF
a Sedalia friend. The president OF the
Warrensburg normal is greatly op-
posed, it is said, to students of the
college calling up friends over the
phone or being called up during the
study periods. Consequently he keeps
one ear primed for the jangle of the
telephone bell and answers the phone
himself when he can manage to reach
ii first. one day last week the girl In
question had agreed to call up one
of the normal students with regard to
some trivial matter which they had
been discussing. Never thinking of the
presidents antipathy to the phone, she
called the normal. The president was
busy with class, but he heard the
bell and rushed to the charge.
"Hello!" he said grumly.
"Hello!" answered a sweet voice.
Hello, who Is this?"
The president rose to the OCCASION
This" he responded oracularly, Is
the president"
The girl gave gasp of surprise
Then She too rose to meet the emer-
geney. "Why howdy, Teddy" she
said, sweetly and cordially. 80 glad to
hear you. When did you reach town."

Thorouehfare-Formal OPEN
ing viii Take Place
Tonight

After months OF earnest work on the
part Of number OF interested property
owners of Spring street the fondest
hopes of the merchants of that busy
thoroughfare will be realized tonight
when the new lighting system will be
put into operation.
During the past few weeks workmen
have been busy erecting the ornamental
posts along the thoroughfare and when
the signal is given this evening the
lights on 1872 posts will burst forth in
illumination. Following the example
set by Broadway the Spring Street I'M
provement association has provided
electricity equal to 3Si candle power for
each post, and although there will be
only five globes to a post the voltage
will be as heavy as that of the Broad
way lights.
The members of the Spring Street
Improvement association have had a
hard time in securing the much-coveted
lights, but their efforts have at last
met with success. At o'clock last
night as n preliminary experiment the
lights were turned on and the street
illuminated. All the lights were in per-
feet order and the effect was mag
nificent. The strength of the new lights
is not as apparent OH Spring street as
on Broadway because of the many pri-
vate illuminations along the former
thoroughfare.
