PASADENA, Feb. 26.-Principal Le-
roy Ely of the high school on Friday
morning announced to the pupils that
hereafter the basis of grading the
students would be somewhat changed
with more importance placed upon the
daily work. Heretofore the daily work
counted one-half, the midterm exam
nation counted quarter and the
final one-quarter. Under the new
ruling virtually two-thirds of the mark
ing will depend upon the daily recita
tons. while the examinations will
count but one-sixth each.
1t is said that this advance in the
Importance of the every day work was
partially brought about by the recent
universities of so many illy-prepared
students. 1t is expected that this
change will bring about a more con-
scientious preparation of the work.
Favor Manual Training
In the grammar grades the old rule
of grading still holds, which is thought
by many to be unfair to the average
child Here the daily work counts but
for one-fourth, with the mid-term ex-
animation one-fourth, and the final for
full half.
There is a very general and increas-
ing desire among the parents of the
school children to have manual train
ing placed in the public schools, and
TO-
ing" at the Mckinley school petitions
asking the board of education to in
troduce the system as early as possi-
BILE were passed anG very generally
signed by both fathers and mothers.
The child study circles of the city,
numbering several hundred mothers
and teachers have been outspoken for
manual training for some years, but
the time to push the demand has not
seemed ripe until this winter.
Evangelists Open Revival
There began today in the Lake Ave-
nue. Congregational church special re-
vival services, which will last for two
weeks, under the leadership of the late
Dwight l.. Moody's successor. Rev.
H. w. Pope was selected by Mr., Moody
to carry on the evangelistic work he
himself had so successfully inaugur-
ated. With Mr.. Pope is Rev. w. f.
Newton, who sings as well as breaches.
Both are under the auspices of the
Mortified (Mass.) Extension society,
and are in Southern California for six
months of exangelistic work. Success
full meetings have already been held in
Whittier, three of the churches in Los
Angeles, Bakersfield, Corona, Pomona,
Claremont and Riverside.
For several years both taught in the
Northfeld Bible school. Mr.. Pope Is a
practical speaker, who at once
attracts the attention of his audience,
and his travelling companion sings his
gospel into the hearts of the peopk. AT
the service this morning every seat was
taken to listen to the first meeting in
the series. Mr.. Pope spoke on the
training needed for vital Christian
work.

From the present plans of the men
in charge of the arrangements for the
horse show in March, that affair will
be quite as spectacular and Fashionable
as the nid-winter tournament of roses
Society people have been greatly in
terested in it from the first and owners
of fine horses in Altadena as well as
Pasadena have given assurance. of
many entries in all classes. W. j.
Hogan, an enthusiastic horseman from
Louisville, who is at the Maryland for
the winter, has entered into the spirit
of the event so fully that he has ar
ranged for Il big exhibition of his own
fine thoroughbreds and fancy stock.
1t has been announced that John S.
Cravens will enter eighteen horses
from his stables. one of these. Preiu-

Many Visit Exhibition
The exhibition of a large number og
John w. Nichols pictures at the Bentz
gallery on South Raymond avenue is
attracting considerable attention from
art lovers of Los Angeles as well as
this city.
The number of canVaSes covers il
wide range of subjects, ranging from
scenes on the Nile TO views of the
Arroyo Seco. Most of the visitors to
the gallery think the marine views
better than landscapes, of which there
are several. His moonlight scenes on
the sea attract especial attention and
call out strong commendation. The
attendance has increased each day
since the canvases have been hung
and the exhibit promises to be quite
popular this week,
Busy Day for Federation
There will be three sessions of the
meeting of the Federation of the w.
G. T. U. held here in Pasadena tomor-
row at the West Side Congregational
church. In the morning a business
session of the federation of the six
local organizations of the w. c. II. U.
will be held, at which Mrs. Emma
Cash, state president, will speak of the
coming of the great national conven-
tion of white ribboners next fall to
Los Angeles, and of Pasadena's share
in the work of preparation. Basket
luncheon will be served at noon at the
church.
In the afternoon Mrs. Mary E, Teats,
one OF the national lecturers, will speak
especially to the mothers, and in the
evening at the same church she will
give a lecture upon the subject. "The

CITY LIGHTS BIG BRIDGE.
And Gets the Power mt Half Price by
Burning Waste.

Mayor Mcclellan has formally OPP
ened the municipal electric lighting
plant designed to light the Williams
Durg Bridge over the East river. The
plant is established near the Manhat-
tan abutment of the bridge and is
operated in connection with a rub
bish incincrator recently constructed
by The Street Cleaning Department.
The operation of the two plants, it is
estimated, will bring about a saving
of $4,000 a year to the Street Clean
ing Department and a large saving
in the expense of lighting the bridge.
There was little ceremony attend
ant upon the opening. The mayor
arrived with Deputy Comptroller
Phillips, Bridge Commissioner Best
and Alderman Sullivan, examined
the plants, and at a o'clock turned
down a switch which sent a current
to the 175 arc lights on the bridge.
He then turned and shook hands
with Commissioner Best, ~remarking:
Il congratulate YOU.
The construction OF the plants is
the first step in a direction which will
be followed further in that city and,
it is believed, in other cities. The
general business purpose is utiliza-
ton of value previously thrown away
in waste but Il is also a step toward
improved sanitation.
Rrevionsly 1t has cost the city 80
centk 4 Yard to remove from the piers

age. The rubbish is very light, CON
sisting principally of paper, paste
board boxes and orn ont furniture
and could be disposed of only by
dumping at sea or for filling in land.
There were serious objections to both
these methods.
Burning the rubbish reduces the
bulk at the rate of from 100 large
carts to six. small carts and the re-
sultant ashes IAN be disposed of adj
vantageously for filing in land. All
disease germs are exterminated in
the process and great economy is eff
fected in disposal OF The rubbish.
The rubbish thus burned, serves as
fuel for the boilers OF the electric
lighting plant and there are operated
three dynamos, two of a normal ca
pacity of 100 kilowatts each and one
OF 50. With the cheap fuel the cost
of lighting the bridge, which is at
present $50 a day, vii be reduced by
at least so per cent.
The plants were constructed by the
Rabbi }. f. Gerstle Company at a
cost of $4,000 for the i~ncinerator
and $4,000 for the lighting plant.
They were first proposed by Street
Cleaning Commissioner Woodbury.,
who has constructed a smaller plant
on Forty-seventh street and utilized
the electricity for lighting the Street
Cleaning Departments stables.
