SOME NEW SCHOOL LAWS.
AND SOME BILLS THAT DIDN'T
BECOME LAWS.
State Superintendent Harrington
Sits Out Some Bills That
B.coms Laws.

There were SO many bills introduced
in the legislature during It's last session
that the average citizen is at loss TO
know what became laws aud what did
not.
Many seem 10 think that the recent
legislature passed some bills affecting
schools that it did not pass, Several
bills were introduced touching changes
in school district boundary lines. One
providing a means flor changing bound
AIRY lines OF city school districts passed
both houses, but it was vetoed by the
Governor.
\ bill passed the House to compel the
county board Of education to endorse a
certificate issued in any other county.
1t failed TO pass the Senate. There is
no law authorizing reciprocal rccugui-
ton of certificates between counties.
The best that county board can do in
such matters is to accept pnpers written
at an examination in another county.
There was 20 legislatic eirccting the
election, duties or compensation OF
county school commissioners. A bin
providing for general county supervision
failed ia the Senate after having passed
the lluuse. \ bill 10 increase the power,
duties and compensation Of the county
commissioner failed in the House after
having passed the Senate.
The bill to authorize school boards to
employ superintendent of schools for
two years passed the Senate, but failed
to pass the House The decision OF the
courts that one school board cannot bind
/ its successor is still the law ano super.
Intendeuts and teachers can not be
employed for longer term than one
year.
Attorney General Hadley's opinion
that county boards Of education may
select the text books to be used in the
schools under their jurisdiction vii
haze the effect Of continuing uniformity
/ by counties and Of preventing many
changes in books for two years at least
The county board 5 term is two years
I hence its selections will be for that
period
Tho most important work Of the pub
tic schools is the lihe Of English and il
has been perhaps the poorest work done
iu the schools Of Missouri for sey,ra
years. The language lessons, grammar
aud rhetoric that have been used for
years do not make series in any sense.

Rates.RosbxsheIl Wedding

Two weddings of more than ordina-
ry interest were solemnized at the
same hour last evening.
At $3.50 o'clock Miss Ruth Bosbyshell,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Bosbyshell, became the bride of Frank
Bates, the ceremony taking place at
the home of the brides parents, 1865
West Eleventh street The bridal par
ty stood during the service under a
canopy composed of white tulle and
asparagus ferns arranged in fan shape
and extending from the chandelier to
the bay window.
Rev. Warren F. Day conducted the
service and the music was in charge
of sister of the bride, Miss Clara
Bosbyshell. The bride was charming
ly gowned in white embroidered chif-
fon and lace and her veil was fastened
with a cluster of orange blossoms.
Miss Nina Bosbyshell, who attended
her as maid of honor, wore white silk
organdie and her flowers were pink
sweet peas. Bennett Bates, brother
of the bridegroom, assisted him as best
man. After the ceremony a wedding
supper was served and the decorative
scheme in the dining room was carried
out in pure white. White geraniums
and satin ribbon formed festoons for
the walls and the centerpiece of the
brides table was composed of the same
blossoms, while great quantities of
them banked sideboard and buffet.
The library was brilliant with red and
green, and here too, geraniums were
the central feature of the decoration.
Mr. and Mrs. Bates left for short
wedding trip.

At the ReIasco

Not the least interesting part of the
matinee performance of Ibsen's
Ghosts" yesterday afternoon at the
Belasco was the audience, and just
how many society people there were
there and just how many different
thoughts they had about Ghosts
would make an interesting study. Har-
ry Mestayer, ever a favorite, has lost
none of his attractions for a matinee
girl, and yesterday he started her
thinking in way she may not often
have thought before. Among the wo-
men noticed in the boxes were Mrs.
Will Innis, Mrs. Isadore B. Dock
weller, Mrs. A. j. Scholl, Mrs. Bert
Beverly, Mrs. j. G.. Hanst, Mrs. A. K.

THE BOSS RULE OBSTACLE

There can be no great reform in the affairs Of
American municipalities until the political boss and the
labor union to be dictators"
That is the Judgment Of the Scotch street railway
pert who went to Chicago to aid Mayor Dunno in in
stallng municipal transit system.
The mayors confidence in public ownership and
operation Of Chcagos street railways based mainly
the wellknown of the general plan In Eng
lish and Scotch cities particularly in Glasgow Mayor
Dunno concluded that in order to duplicate such success
abroad IL necessary only to obtain the services Of
who thoroughly understood the business Hence
the visit to Chicago of the chief manager of public
transit service in Scottish cities.
II Is the difference in environment between Glasgow
and Chicago that makes municipal ownership mprac
tcabe in the latter city That conclusion Of the Scotch
expert made after stay of several weeks in Chicago
is based upon what learned about political and labor
influences there.
In Glasgow, it is said no such influences are in ev
dence That they an insurmountable obstacle to
public ownership, as viewed by the expert is evident
from his sharp declaration that they the greatest
curse the United States has to contend with"
Just Los Angeles has corroborative evidence
of the correctness of the Scotch experts judgment The
political bosses of this city styled the Republican or
ganizaton boldly declare that there shall be pub
lie works commission which does not meet the approval
of the said organization That is to say the patronage
of the commission must be farmed out to the political
bosses sine qua to appointment.
It looks as If the Scotchman had sized up the situa-
tion about right.

FROM S0CTETY'S NOTEBOOK

here and was in charge OF the political
work in Southern California In favor
of the exemption of Stanford universl-
ty property from state taxation.

BOARD HAD RIGHT
To GUST LIBRARIAN
CITY ATTORNEY GIVES HIS
OPINION
WHAT is THE INVESTIGATION?
Members of Commission Are In Doubt
as to What viii Be Brought
Out at the Hearing
Tonight
WHAT is THE INVESTIGATION?

"The library directors acted within
their legal rights when they removed
Miss Jones from the position of libra-
rian of the Los Angeles public library.
1 take the Carter decision of the su-
preme court to be the law in the case"
This is the ruling rendered the board
of library directors last night by City
Attorney Mathews.
The directors were at first a little
over anxious and fired questions so fast
at the veteran city attorney that he
simply smiled and asked them why
they wanted to know so much.
"Why, the Friday Morning club has
accused us of violating the law" they
explained. "Then,' replied the city at
torney, 1T do not see why the city at
torney should be called in to settle Il
squabble between the Friday Morning
club and the library board"
The investigation of the act of the
board in discharging Miss Jones will
begin this evening in the mayors Of
flee with Mayor McAleer as judge and
jury.
IF our act was legal, what is this
investigation to decide?"
This is the question the library di-
rectors were asking each other when
the meeting broke up last night.
Counsel Is Employed
Attorney Oscar Lawler is to represent
the library board in the investigation
and it is said that Will A. Harris will
take Miss Jones' side of the argument.
In the discussions last night the di-
rectors were laying particular stress
upon the legal points involved, when
City Attorney Mathews informed them
that they were not going to try a case
before a court of law, but before the
mayor and that he would advise, at the
investigation, against attempting to de-
eide upon legal questions and that he
would refuse to render opinions, as the
proper place to offer such questions to
be settled was a court of competent
jurisdiction.
The directors were closeted with At
torney Lawler until late last night ar
ranging for the ordeal. All appeared
confident that everything would be to
their liking, though they have found
they have no power to subpoena wit
nesses.
With the legality Of the act decided
SO far as the present investigation is
concerned it is thought that the issue
will be to prove that the library board
did not act in good faith when it re-
moved Miss Jones.

THE SPEED MANIAC

One of the police commissioners hits the mark exactly
in saying anent automobiles that ''there is no excuse
for abusing their use something must be done quickly
to protect the people against these speed maniacs"
Then why not do something without any daily
ing? If speed maniac" driving horse should ap-
pear Los Angles thoroughfare he would be hailed
the police station in short order recklessly driven
auto Is dangerous than rapidly driven horse.
If it is easy to stop the reckless horse driver should
be easy stop the auto maniac.
1t is sheer to argue that community
has lawful power take any necessary precauton
to protect the lives of its people The public patience
in Los Angeles has been sorely tried by these
manacs and the strain has about reached the swapping
point Unless the abuse be stopped at will not
be strange if such reprsals resorted to here
have made it hot for scorchers in eastern cities
If the authorities find other of pro-
tecting the lives of citizens from the manacs the
picturesque plan humorously suggested by the mayor
might be tried That is:
Il suggest that might hire couple of genuine
with ratas and instruct them to rope tie and brand
every chauffeur who mistakes the public street
track"
No person would expect to be allowed to drive
horse at high speed in the crowded streets of Los
Angeles Why then should it be expected that the auto
will be tolerated swfer gait than the average
horse run?
The auto maniac must be suppressed even if it is
necessary to swing the riaa his head
