Health Department Active.

San Francisco, April 25.-Arrange-
ments for the reconstruction of the
new and greater San Francisco are
rapidly crystallizing and soon the
sounds of building will be heard in
every block of the devastated districts.
The blowing up of the ruins in the
business section has already begun
and is now well under way.
Before long there will not be a
dangerous ruin standing in Market
street. A large squad of artillerymen,
assisted by the municipal authorities,
have been dynamiting all the totter-
ing buildings and walls This work
has SO far been confined to Market
street in order to open a safe artery
from the outlying district to the wa
ter front. The district north Of Mar
ket street and the business section
will receive the same treatment after
Market street Is clear.
Steel Frames Stood Shock.
A commission last Sunday investi-
gated all the buildings left standing
upon the main thoroughfare Of the
devastated city. 1t was ascertained
that nearly all the steel frame struc-
lures had withstood the earthquake,
and, although almost without excep.
ton, they had been ruined inside. the
loss was in most cases confined to the
contents.

Two months ago plans were ap-
proved and contracts were let for the
building and the steel for construction
is already on the way west. Monday
orders were given to go ahead with
the work Of building Build fast"
was the order, and this means the ex-
pendtture Of every possible energy that
money can purchase for the construc-
ton Of the building. The site is on
the south side of Market street, 100
feet east Of Fourth. The site cost
100000 and is held by its owners to
have every cent Of It's original value

Sanitary Inspection to Be Thorough.
All the habitable part of San Fran

anything Of the sort before 1t becomes

Lads In the Schools.

In an Interview published In the
Chicago Record Herald, Miss Grace
Reed, school principal, attacked the
fadsi in the primary schools curriculum
and declared that their intro ductlon
Is due to the fact THAT few people
who have a voice In school affairs wish
to stand out as advanced and as expon-
ents OF the latest hair-brained peda-
gogic philosophy. One by one the
fads have been crowded into the
schools until the fundamental work
mas been crowded into secondary DO.
s1tiol. am not old fashioned; I be
lleye In making the school work of a
child part of his life experience.
and not a mere duh routine; but this,
l am convinced, can be done with the
necessary studies, and without the
assistance OF these faddish innoya-
tions.n
That the Introduction OF fads ia
schools is due ia part to the ambition
OF persons in authority to enter their
schools in deplorable rivalry and
themselves to appear as foremost in
educational matters-to be foremost
implying advocacy of a dozen ana one
fadS-is doubtless true. And that
sober second thought has brought
appreciation of this fact is indicated
in the abandonment in many cities OF
these fads and return to the old
principles and system.
The school days Of the average
pupil are too short. A small percent
age of pupils finish the grammar
schools and much smaller percentage
enter the high school. Most of the
pupils educated 10 the state schools
are the children Of parents in poor
and moderate circumstances. The
support OF them, the purchase of
their books, the dressing of them in
presentable garments constitutes a
very heavy drain on the scant re-
sources OF the Sl.50 to $3a day wage
worker. Fathers and mothers deprive
themselves and their children of many
comforts to prolong the time they
nay spend at school but finally the
day comes at too early age when the
daughters and the sons must enter
gainful occupations and help support
the family.
IT is a crime against these parents
and against these boys and girls to
fritter away their time with the
study of things which, while they are
desirable, are not essential. The
time of the pupils should be occupied
In providing them with knowledge
essential to their usefulness as citizens.
A knowledge of music is a pleasing
accomplishment, and the same is true
OF drawing. But to state that the
education of children in these branches
or the training Of children in raffla
WORK, pottery molding and brass
work or in domestic science, is neces-
sary to their future good and useful
citizenship is to affirm an obvious
absurdity. Youth is the time for
brain culture. There are years
enough for the hand to learn skill

Various Sources for the Benefit

Ripon, Wis, June 14.-That The mai
timilIionaire should not be eligible to
a seat in the United States senate was
one Of the sentiments expressed III the
address Of Supreme Court Justice-EIect
William II. Timlin, of Milwaukee, at
the commencement exercises of Ripon
college. See to what a pitch the vulgar
rich have brought this body, which
promised in its inception to be the
grandest legislative body in all the his
tory Of the world" continued the
speaker.
All regulation of coIp0rations should
be enforced by the Imprisonment Of the
delinquent officers. Our courts should
be trained to learn that the imprison-
ment OF a millionaire is not a sacri-
lege. The laws relating to bribery
should be remedied, and I believe it is
only possible to make the same effect
uaI by providingpenaIuess solely against
the bride giver' He also advised a
constitutional limitation to fortunes.

OFFER TO SHARE PROFITS
Proposal Made by the Cotton Manu-

Their EmpIOYes.

Fall River, Mass, June 19.-The Cot
ton Manufa cturers' association Of Fall
River, representing practically al tho
cotton mill interests in this city, has
in Il letter to the textile council offered
to guarantee the mill operatives u prof
it-sharing dividend OF not less than 5
per Gent. This offer was made in re-
spouse to 4 request from the textile
council that the wage scale paid be-
fore the general reduction Of 1912 per
cent. in 1864 was put into effect be re
stored.
The officers of the textile union
would not express an opinion on the
probability of an acceptance of the Of
fer. 1t seemed to be the general opin-
ion among the operatives. however
that it would be refused, because the
request for a restoration of wages was
made chiefly on account of dissatis-
faction with the sliding scale ON ac-
count of its being open to influence by
the speculative market. This oAec-
ton. it is held, is not removed by the
manufacturers proposition and the
margin guaranteed is less than one
half Of thepercentage Of the restoration
