Education is more than a transform
ing process. it is a creative process. BY
it we become a new creature. Our
problem then would seem to be, in its
broad aspects, a study of what our
native common endowments are, and
a study of what educational processes
at work upon this native material may
produce The emphasis of study should
rest upon the second of these PROPOSE
tiOns At the outset we shall believe
in the creative value of education. We
are warranted both by experience and
by study IN believing that education is
far reaching and momentOus infiu.
ence. To be man, man must be ed
ucated To he a teacner, man must
be made over again into new agency.
No fixed and Iigid laws CAN determine
what this making over implies, since
the teacher must from time to time be
made Into AL agency adequate to the
needs of a changing and growing
Christian civilization The accepted
teacher of yesterday is by no means
the accepted teacher OF tomorrow. We
shall understand our problem best as
we attach increased significance to the
function Of the teacher in civilization.
and as we interpret our standards of
efficiency in the light of tomorrow.
Teaching is always prophetic. 1t
aims to describe the needs of the flu.
ture, and to equip the childhood of the
present for the mature life that is to
be. Teaching must always proceed On
the assumption that it's test is to be
found not in the immediate product
which it sends out from the class room
but in the wider circles of influence
which it will exert on the days and the
activities that are to be. A wise teach
er concerns himself primarily with the
task of euuipping human souls for
Iife's service. 1t lays the emphasis OF
it's concern not upon the scraps ol
knowledge which it gives from day to
day, but upon the fibre of character
which it builds for all the wears t(
come. The Making of Teacher

There is too much luxury about our
present day college life, Young men
who cannot afford to spend some thou
sands year are becoming afraid to en-
ter certain universities. This unfor-
tunate state OF things prevents many
parents from sending to college boys
who would be greatly benefited by a
university course. 1 am happy to say,
however, that there are still unlversi-
ties whose regulations and general
conduct are dead against luxury of
any kind. At Cornell, for example. at
Ann ArbOr. aud at the Leland STAN
ford institutions in California, the
principles of trugality are taught and
practiced, and our American fore
fathers custom of paying for their col

Song Of the New Year.
BY :. Z. KISER


What shall the New Year bring to me?
How shall this glorious year of years
Give fits triumph and its glee
And gifts failures and its tears?
All, let the idle dreamer sit
And sin through such vain questioning ::
Let him ask what the year may bring;
l ask what l may give to it.
Here lie the riches of the past
Where we may claim them as our own;
Across cNpanSeS gray and vast
Times treasure fleets are hither blown.
The dust is deep DER Ilium's walls,
The past is silent with its wrongs,
The present unto us belongs,
And glad with hope the Future calls.
The sun with new magnifcence
Sends forth his beams. and am here
To hail with buoyant reverence
The dawning of this latest year.
l ask not what its gifts may be;
But, hoping, start upon my way
To make it richer day by day
Through profits it may gain from me.

GETS FIFTY DAYS IN JAIL
Monrovia Negro Receives Heavy Sem
tence From Pasadena JUS
tice for Cruelty

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Aug. 2.-Justice Klam-
roth this morning administered fine
of $50 to a Monrovia negro convicted
of excessive cruelty to animals. Ben
Mclean. the negro in question, ac-
companied by two others of his color,
drove a colt to Arcadia and back.
Reputable citizens of Monrovia tes-
titled this morning that Mclean had
whipped and overdriven the colt until
it could hardly walk and that they
finally interfered and notified Constable
Austin, who made the arrest. The
witnesses against Mclean were r. c..
Cramlet. ]. H. Thomas, Daniel Thomas,
G. H. Dusenberry and w. N. Lent. HUI
name Agent thinner of the Los An
geles Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals had charge of the
prosecution.
1t will cost Mclean $50 or fifty days
in the county Jail, and the justice as
sured the dusky gentleman that he
could take his choice freely. The negro
is not in very high favor in the Mon
rovia neighborhood, according to those
who witnessed against him today, and
is reported to be threatening all sorts
of terrible revenge upon those respon-
sible for his conviction.

STATEMENT Is UNWARRANTED
Dispatch From Cleveland Concerning
Street Railway Situation Said
to Be Erroneous
By Associated Press

By Associa ted Press.
CLEVELAND, Aug. I'm the dis
patch handled by the Associated Press
on July %, in describing the controver-
sy now proceeding over the street rail-
way situation in this city, the state
ment was made that the line of the
Cleveland Electric Railway company
was torn up by men acting under the
orders of Mayor Tom l.. Johnson, and
that this action was taken owing to
the pending controversy in behalf of
the Forest City railway, a three-cent
fare line, and which under certain con-
ditions can come under the ownership
and control of the municipality.
In addition to relating the facts as
to the tearing up of the rails of the
the additional statement was made that
ing largely interested in the Municipal
Traction company.
This statement was unwarranted, is
believed to be entirely untrue if in it's
reading it tended to create the impress
sion that Mayor Johnson had any finan-
cial interest whatever in the Forest
City company and is contrary to every
public statement made by that official,
he specifically having anticipated by
public announcement any such possi-
bility. That he has been interested in
the success of the company as an
ultimate municipal ownership PROPOSE
ton, but primarily to secure a lower
fare, he has openly proclaimed.
The Associated Press, therefore, de-
sires to disclaim and disavow any other
suggestion in making the statement
telegraphed.

PASADENA. Aug. 2.-Justice Klam-

jury was impaneled and the case
was ready for trial, representative OF
the district attorneys office who was
to conduct the case being alone miss
ing.
Finally Senator b. w. Hahn was
called into the case. Then ensued an
other long wait, after which Senator
Hahn announced that a compromise
had been reached by the interested par
ties by which the papers are to re-
main for six months in the possession
of Judge Rosslter, Gallant's attorney,
during which time every effort possible
is to be made to discover the rightful
owner. This agreement having been
reached the case was dropped, and
Gallant. who has been in Jail for five
days, was dismissed. A man named
Thomas Collins, living in Los Angeles,
has come forward with the assertion
that the papers certainly belong to his
brother-in-law, A. Y. CroSSley, who Is
now travelling in Europe. Most of the
promiSSory notes, amounting to some
$35, 900, are made payable to A. T.
Crossley, and it Is alleged that while,
according to the laws of Minnesota in
which state the notes were given, they
have all become outlawed and there
fore worthless, there may still be
enough of value in the bundle of pa
pers to warrant that gentleman in Of
fering proof of ownership and clearing
up the mystery.
Collins states he believes that Cross
ley was in Duluth, Mimi, prior to COM
ing to Pasadena, and that in all proba-
bility after the financial crash there
Crossley decided that the notes were
worthless because the signers were
bankrupt, and so decided to allow the
papers to remain where he had buried
them. Efforts will be made to COM
municate with Crossley as soon as his
whereabouts in Europe can be learned.

San Francisco Refugee Doctor Accepts
LoWly Position in Lieu Of

ment by the board of health last night.
He is DIR. M. C. Bamji, and for his SER
vices as janitor he will receive the
munificient sum of $40 month, with no
perquisites.
DIR. Bamji is still a comparatively
young man, but he has crowded more
experiences into his life than is usually
the case with men many years older.
He was born in India, educated in Lon
don and is a medical graduate of Har-
ward. When he graduated he wrote two
books on theoretical medicine that won
him fame among the medical fraternity.
He was establishing a medical prac-
tice i'm San Francisco when the disas-

Angeles as a refugee and since he has
earned a precarious living by washing
dishes. Although he is but a janitor
he had to pass a civil service examina-

remains in his position as janltor he
will be advanced to sanitary inspector

Mine Stock Considered of Small Value

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
VENICE, Aug. 2.-That mining stock
which she owns and had considered TO
be of very little value could be sold in
the open market for $4,000 was the text
of a telegram received last night by
Mrs. l.. Marmaduke Eskridge of s.
Louis, who, with her two sons, is at
st. Marks hotel for the summer.
The announcement came as a surprise
to Mrs. Eskridge, inasmuch as she had
only recently transferred a lease of
three years which she held on the mine
to a small company of promoters. IIor
desire at the time was chiefly to have
the assessment work done with as liz
tie expense as possible. In speaking of
the claims today Mrs. Eskridge said:
Il bought the stock a long time ago
on the advice of Mr.. Lucas, whose par
ents, with mlne were st. Louis pioneers.
l have always thought well of my in
vestment, although never dreaming
that it would some day be worth the
amount named in the telegram. The
mine or mines are a placer property
and cover 22OO acres in Taos county,
New Mexico, and my interest consists
of 100000 shares"
When asked If she had decided to dis
pose of her stock Mrs. Eskridge said:
"None of it. I'll hold on now until
my holdings are very, very valuable -

st. Louis, a distinguished writer, with
