Scaly
scalps

Nine people out of every
ten have trouble with their
heads. Many of them
suffer from a species of
eczema, which forms dry
scale upon the skin of
the scalp, popularity known
as dandruff.
If this condition be
neglected the hair folliclc
loses all its vitality, the
hair becomes brittle and
falls out and badness is
the inevitable result.
Coke Dandruff Cure has
proved to be the only
reliable cure for this
annoying condition. It
positively removes, with
one or two applications,
every trace of dandruff.
Faithfully used it will cure
every diseased condition of
the scalp Except
constitutional blood
disorders), and will
produce a luxuriant, glossy
growth of hair after all
other remedies have failed.
This is strong
statement and one which
we would not dare to make
if we were not in
possession of thousands of
grateful letters from people
in every walk of life, who
have proved, to their
intense qualification, the
wonderful powers of
Coke Dandruff Cure.
If you are annoyed with
any scalp trouble
whatever, get bottle
to-day. Your druggist
will tell you the same story
of uninterrupted triumph.
Coke Dandruf Cure
contains absolutely nothing
of an injurious nature
and may be used on the
heads of the most delicate.

PROPOSED BILL A MENACE

WARNING TO THE ASSEMBLY Y
Andrea Sbarboro Sets Forth Views in
Open Letter to People.

Andrea Sbarboro. president of the
Italian Bank and of the Asst Wine
Company, believes that the building
and loan bill, which has passed the
State Senate. will prove Of great in
jury to several Of California's strong
financial institutions without corre-
spending benefit to the people In gen.
eral. In the letter which follows he
has set forth his views on the situa-
ton:
It Is to be regretted that our State
Senators did not understand the work
ings Of the proposed bill to protect
investors in building and loan asso-
Citations.
1t is to be hoped that in the Assem-
bly,, where there are some members
Of building and loan associations with
long experience, the bill will either be
killed or amended SO as to protect the
people from being hoodwinked by
sharp schemers.
On page 2. line 80 of the bill just
passed. loans are permitted to be made
to shareholders, members and others.
This removes the mutually of the
building and loan associations and
greatly endangers their securities.
On the same page, line AZ. reads
that shareholders shall be permitted
10 withdraw their funds when the as
sociation shall desire to repay the
same" This is simply preposterous.
No man would put dollar into any
building and loan association If he
knew that he could not withdraw his
money when he desired, but could only
do so when the association would per-
nit him.
Building and loan associations
should be nothing more than co-opera-
tive savings banks, where the mem
bers could withdraw their funds at
any time as their wishes or necessities
might require.
Page 3. line Sc. states that shares
shall mature at the par value of 500
Except as to corporations now exist
| ing). This is inserted to deceive the
public, as all the meritorious local"
building and loan associations mature
their stock at 5000 per share, while
the speculative, so-called nationals
promise to mature their stock at 500
per share.

SCHOOLS THRIVE
IN OLD EGYPT
Frank Marston, the Normal
Trustee, Writes Interest
ingly of Education There
MANY SUBJECTS TAUGHT
Children Learning to Write
and Read Their Native
Language in Quaint Rooms

The interesting letter printed be-
low has been received by The Call from
Frank w. Marston. Trustee of the
State Normal school. Marston has
been travelling in Egypt for some time
and has made the schools and educa-
tional institutions Of the ancient land
his special study:
Editor Call:-During comparative
ly recent period. very great advances
have been made in educational matters
in the Land of the Pharaohs. At pres
ent the Egyptian Government schools
are divided into Elementary, Primary,
Secondary and Professional schools.
1.-The Kuttabs are the Mohammedan
elementary schools. Here the Koran is
taught and the pupils receive lessons
in reading and writing Arabic to enable
them to memorize the Koran. If the
teaching proves to be satisfactory,
these Kuttabs may receive Govern
ment grants based upon the average
attendance, but before this Is received
the pupils must be taught arithmetic.
Children may attend these schools up
to the age Of eight years.
Private schools may come under
Government inspection by showing
that they meet Government require
ments as to standards. but the only
ones that receive grants are the ele-
mentary schools or Kuttabs.
1.-The greater number of these Kut-
tabs present a very primitive appear
ance.
'The rooms are dark with stone walls
and mud floors. Some have benches
without backs. but in many there are
no seats: both children and teacher
sit on the floor. The walls are rough
and bare. without decoration. The
children repeat their lessons in classes
or singly, swaying their bodies as they
recite. They present a bright, keen ap-
pearance and are furnished with tin
or wood states and Arabic primers,
while the teacher has rod to enforce
attention.

AMERICAN SCHOOLS.

"The social elevation of the people
of Egypt depends entirely on the up
lifting of the women of the country.
The American United Presbyterian
Mission was begun in Egypt in 1854.
and in addition to the work. of preach
ing the gospel it has established
schools all over the valley of the Nile.
In Cairo the Presbyterians have a
substantial building for the schools In
a central position. On the boys side
they have over 800 pupils enrolled and
on the girls side $50 pupils. The great
feature of this school is the girls
boarding department, for they have
ninety girl boarders, of whom ten are
Mohammedans.
I'm this school are to be found the
children of Copts and Hebrews. Greeks
and Romans, Mohammedans and Pro-
testants side by side in the classes. The
first hour Of the morning is devoted to
Bible study and then they take the
usual course OF reading, writing, gram
mar, arithmetic, composition, history
and geography. These subjects are
taught in English and Arabic, with
both oral and written translations from
one language to the other. 1t was spe-
cially interesting in visiting these
schools to see an Egyptian girl walk
up to the blackboard and there work
out sum in English arithmetic. Also
in another classroom to see similar
work in Arabic. The pupils appeared
to be bright and intelligent and so de-
voted to their work that the majority
were studying their lessons during the
recess. All the boarders are taught
housekeeping and cooking in, addition
to the ordinary school subjects. The
dormitories are lofty and kept scrupu-
lously clean, with large dining and sit
ting rooms
There are more than $4,000 children
attending the American mission schools

pearance and are furnished with tin
or wood states and Arabic primers,
while the teacher has a rod to enforce
attention.
PRIMARY SCHOOLS.
Pupils usually attend the primary
schools up to the age of twelve years.
Here they are taught reading and
writing in Arabic. Over go per cent
of the population of Egypt is Moham-
medan, and this being the religion of
the country, the Koran is taught In all
the Government primary schools The
study of English is compulsory in
these schools and includes reading,
writing, grammar, dictation, compost
ton, arithmetic. geography, history,
geometry and translation from Arabic
to English and from English to Ara
bic. The teachers are Arabs and
strenuous efforts are put forth by the
Government to train competent men
for this profession.
"All the teaching in the secondary
schools Is in English and they occupy
a position similar to the American
high schools; the ages of the pupils
are from IL to 16 years. The curri-
culum is somewhat similar to that of
the high schools of America, with the
exception of the Greek and Roman
classics, which are not taught here.
What are known as free schools in
America are absolutely unknown in
Egypt, for here all pupils must pay
some fee for their tuition. The study
of the French language is optional,
and only a percentage of the pupils
in the secondary schools are studying
French.
Although there are no free schools.
on the other hand 1T must be said that
the Government encourages the study
of the higher branches by giving
grants to pupils for the payment of
their expenses while engaged in their
studies for the profession of teaching,
medicine or technology. Professional
schools have been established for the
study of the law, technology, medi-
cine and teaching. The stimulus to
education is not confined to the Gov
ernment or to the European residents,
for the wealthy Arabs are founding
and endowing private schools and ask
ing for Government inspection. The
Egyptian Government school system
has been established about twenty
years and at the present time there
are 5000 pupils attending the Govern
ment schools.
