Public Schools

There is one requirement
of law that school boards
ought to enforce now, just as
the schools close. The teach.
er is not entitled Ia the last
months salary until every re.
port is properly made. The
term report consists Of more
than enrolment, attendance
and tardiness. 1t must un.
der the law, include u detailed
statement Of what each child
studied, how far he progress.
ed and how well he did his
work.
This is the season for school
commandments. First came
the closing of the rural
schools after six. seven or
eight months terms, then the
rural final examinations and
graduations by county. In
many counties, graduation is
made Il great school rally day.
1t begets Interest and enthusi.
assn in the schools. Every
county should make much of
rural school graduation. 1t
will mark an epoch in the
lives of many country boys
and girls and tend to hold
them in school longer and to
more faithful effort while in
school.
In recent years. standards
Iof efficiency in teachers have
advanced at the rate of ten
per cent a year. The only
way a teacher can keepabreast
OF the progress is TO spend a
summer now and then in a
good summer school. All the
State Normal Schools and the
Teachers College maintain
high grades Of work.

STRIKE BROKEN,
SAY EMPLOYERS
PRINTING SHOPS SECURE AN
ADEQUATE FORCE
Secretary |. n. Rice Says Blame fol
Trouble Rests With Typographical
Union-Declares Employees
Were Duped

THE strike is broken--thero was
really nothing to it."
This is the statement made by 1. II.
Rice, secretary of the Employing
Printers association, yesterday in
speaking OF the strike declared by the
Typographical union
Il am speaking officially" continued
Mr. Rice. THE shops are filling fast
and by the end of the week they will
all be full. In fact, none of us have
been seriously put out at all.
"The whole affair is a shame which
should be placed upon the shoulders of
the members OF the Typographical
union who are holding down good jobs
and did not strike. They simply used
the boys employed as press feeders as
their tools and for the purpose of bet
tering themselves.
"The consequence is that we are now
training boys and girls to do this work
and 1t will be only q short time until
they will be competent to fill the places
of the strikers. 1t Is really too bad,
too, for many of the boys who struck
were just learning their trade and were
in good way to better themselves. Now
they will he entirely out of work.
There have been a number of men
today who have offered to throw up
their union cards If they could get
their old places back, but this was i'm
possible except in one or two cases,
because new help had been employed
and their contracts could not be dis
charged.
There are not a half dozen places
for men in the city today and we have
TO refuse applications by the score. We
have been receiving them from men all
over the United States and in such
number that we have had to get out a
circular letter to answer them. So
many people want to come to this
country to live that we could get
thousands of men in few days.
THE business men have shown that
their sympathy is entirely with us and
today we have had several calls over
the phone telling us that we have
taken the right stand and to not worry
if we cannot get their orders out on
the specified time but we are doing
business the same as ever.
81 don't believe that any shop has
had to refuse a single order. The Out
West company had the greatest trouble
of any of us, but we have helped them
out and they will open up tomorrow
morning with full force of men.
"Al that this strike business hao
amounted to is to throw out of em-
ployment many innocent boys who
struck because they thought they had

DISTRICT ATTORNEY DECLARES
YOUTHS INcoRRlGIsLE
Accused of Damaging Forest by Fire,
Stealing Dynamite and Leaving 1t
in Dangerous Places on Road and
Killing Oaks by Hacking Them

"In my opinion, these are two in
corrigible boys and / think they
should be placed in some institution
where they could learn the error of
their ways" said United States Dis
trict Attorney Oscar Lawler yesterday,
in commenting on the case of Donald
Mellette and William Wood, both un-
der fifteen years of age, who We're
charged with setting and leaving n
fire in the United States forest pre-
serve.
The boys were up before Deputy
Commissioner Williams yesterday for
their preliminary examination. it
was admitted by the defense that the
fire in the San Gabriel forest preserve
was started by the boys last Satur-
day, but the defense was based upon
the supposition that they had taken
due care to kindle fire in n spot
where the adjacent forest would not
be ignited. The boys were bound over
to answer to the grand jury in the
sum of $500 each.
r. M. Follows, who conducts the
Follows series of camps in the san
Gabriel canyon, was the principal wit
ness for the prosecution.
Follows asserted the boys had been
camping a quarter of mile from his
camp and they had frequently stolen
provisions from him. Both of the
boys live in Los Angeles and they had
gone up into the canyon to spend the
holidays. / t was also alleged they
stole a quantity of dynamite and
placed 1t in the road where it might
have done an immense amount of dam
age.
Rangers stationed in the San Gabriel
preserve said the pair of youngsters
had nicked several live oaks with
their camp axes to such an extent that
the trees will die. Other malicious mis-
chief was alleged to have been COM
mitted by the boys and it was admit
ted by the defense that the boys had
acted i'm a most mischevous manner,
but the youth of the prisoners was
pleaded as an eXtenuation.
The defense asserted the required
bail would be forthcoming i'm few
days and until it Is. the boys will be
confined in the Juvenile department
Of the county Jail

No Longer Danger From Frost and
Orange Growers Can Breathe
Freely

The cold which has been threa tening
the orange orchards for the last week
is at last subsiding and orchardists can
again breathe freely with the knowl-
edge that frost will not injure their
crops.
The smudges which have been con-
sistently maintained to shoot" away
the cold from the young and tender
fruit need no longer be kept up, for the
backbone of the cold spell is broken,
according to the weather bureau.
Peas, beans, young potatoes, celery,
blue gum trees. young oranges and
lemons have been generally severely
injured by the frost and it is believed
that a setback of several weeks will be
the result of the cold weather.

his handling of the Harris &c Frank

Chief Lips was on hand for the in

telephone and that she went to call
the woman. She received no answer

Relieving that the woman was in her

found the dead body.
Coroner Claims Accident
The coroner based his assertion that
the death was accidental upon three
things Mrs. Croft had placed bag of
hot water at her feet when she retired
which he believed a person intending
to commit suicide would not do.
The dead woman was lying in a very
natural position and by her side was
a book which she had evidently been

Besides this there was no note or let

Mrs. Croff's room was in a secluded
rart of the house and the only door
leading out of it opened onto a We
randa. She did her own cooking and
did not mingle much with the other oc-
cupants of the house. She supported
herself by sewing.
The last person who is known to have
conversed with Mrs. Croft is Mrs.
johnson, the conversation taking place
last Tuesday. Mrs. Croft then appeared
to be in very good spirits.
The only relatives of the dead woman
living in Los Angeles are F. o. Jones

grocery store at the corner of Seven

body was removed to Bresee Bros.
