SELF GOVERNMENT FAD

In their anxiety to adopt the latest,
newest and best methods for the edu-
cation of the young, school authorities
are sometimes prone to grasp at ex-
perimentaI things merely because some
other one city has tried it and found
it beneficial.
AS a consequence of this commendable
desire to keep at the front, 1t OCCASION
ally happens that a feature is en-
grated upon the public school system
which is soon demonstrated to be only
fad and of no commensurate assist
anee in the general results desired.
The latest and most noteworthy is
that of self-government." Somebody
away down east conceived the idea of
abolishing the monarchical or parental
authority of the school teacher and es-
tablishing in its stead the authority of
the scholars themselves. Then sys-
tenn was quickly prepared by which the
pupils should elect their own committee
who should sit as court and mete out
punishment to their fellow pupils for
own written constitution.
1t sounded good and looked good. In
some of the higher institutions of learn
ing it has met with apparent success.
But In the grammar schools, according
| to all reports, 1t has stirred up an
amount and character of opposition
which in Los Angeles is seriously
threatening the peace, good order and
progress of these cherished institu-
tions. This is notably true in the East
First street school, where a condition
described as "mutinous" exists. and
the patrons yesterday signed long petit
tions to the superintendent and board
of educatio requesting the abolishment
of the fad.
The children say they were asked
to try self-government in the latter
half of last years season, with the un-
derstanding that if it were not agree
able it would, not be resumed at this
session. Promptly with the opening of
this fall term the children reported
their unanimous opinion that the
scheme had been fraught with nothing
but heartaches. quaTrels and general
hatred and that they asked its abol-
ishment. Instead, the school authorities
insisted upon its renewal and are still
engaged in efforts to persuade the chill
dren that "self-government" is a good
thing.
Results have clearly shown to the
patrons that the children are right
"self-government .as applied to gram
mar schools is worse than failure. and
its abolishment shouldebe ordered by
the board of education.
Any person who understands the
childish mind will at once appreciate
the folly Of setting above one child the
dlctum of another child, or above one
set of children the childish whims and
caprices OF another set Of children

committees have become personally SC

The situation appears 90 be suff-
ciently serious'to demand OF the board
Of education-if the superintendent cam

steps to retire the government
fad and give the children an opportu-

public schools are established and

When L hear the tales of blizzards coming
from away back east,
And the telegraph is telling of the chill
on man and beast;
When the snow is falling. falling, cloth
ing all the earth in white,
Then this land of California looks to me
about all right.
Sometimes I grow rather weary of its
ceaseless bright SUNSHINE,
And I rather long for showers and
cloud or two in mine;
I'll admit it's dry and dusty and needs
water pretty bad,
But it's still the best of climates, and
that 1 am here I'm glad.
Yes, I know the Maine coasts lovely
when the August sun is hot;
All the charms OF the st. Lawrence even
yet I've not forgot;
On the fish streams of Wisconsin would
long to wet a line,
But these blizzards just remind me, Cali
forniall do for mine.
There's a charm about the cornhelds and
the woods of old Mizzou;
While the Colorado mountains are quite
fetching TO the view
In the summer. But the summer now
is over and, you see,
California has it ever-so it's sunshine
land for me!
It's long ways off. they tell me-but
you're just as far away
From this golden cline of beauty where
we've blossoms every day;
East is east and west is west-yes, you
have charms to offer, too
But your joys are evanescent; here they
last the whole year throughl
You have had your happy summer, and
you're frozen now. they say;
We are in an always summer. where it's
balmy every day.
You may have some things we lack here.
now and then, once In while,
But for iall-and-ever climate why, we've
got you beat a mile!
So I'll stick by California; you can have
your joys-and snow;l
Here, the earth is like a heaven; every
hour, new roses blow
oh. perhaps I'll make a visit to my old
home once again,
But it's here my feet are planted, and,
God willing, I'll remain

attract attention. The Cox family,
a juvenile quartette, will do some
good singing and dancing. Barth
