REBUILDING THE Y. NJ. c. A.

Secretary J. H. Mccoy OF the Young Mems
Christian Association has written a letter to
Assistant Secretary Miller in which he says that
New York capitalist has offered him $4,000
toward the fund for reconstructing the destroyed
association building at the corner OF Ellis and
Mason streets in this city. Secretary Mccoy has
also been informed by members OF the association
in the large Eastern cities that they will give ibe-
rally to the fund.
The Young Mems Christian Association OF San
Francisco was one OF the best in the country. Even
wealthy classes have suffered severely by the
fire, but some perhaps still have something to spare
for subscription to the local association rebuilding
fund. The branches of the association throughout
the State, however. are all in healthy financial
condition and these have given promise OF assist
ance OF a very substantial financial character.
The association desires to rebuild along the lines
Q. the old building, which strikingly hand
some creation OF the architect. II funds permit
there may be another story added and a larger
gymnasium annex provided. There is little doubt
that Mr.. Mccoy will accomplish the task of raising
sufficient funds for his work, and in his effort to
re-esablish the great institution he has the best
wishes OF all the Christian people OF the country

MEN TEACHERS NEEDED.

Out OF class OF ~ graduating from the State
Normal School at San Jose last week but four men
received diplomas. The percentage OF men to women
graduates from our normal schools has always been
small. but OF late Years il is fast fading away alto
gether. This is chiefly due to the fact that young
u5en with the ability to make good teachers can
cotantand a higher salary in dozen other. occu-
pations.
And yet, educators hold that men teachers are
needed for the all-round training OF the child.
Illey point out that boy especially needs during
at least portion OF his school life masculine disci-
pine and influence in the schooroom. Under the
present arrangement boy may enter the primary
grade and pass through all the grades up to the
: high school without once being under man
teacher. The same is last becoming true OF the
high school. But small percentage of high
school teachers and their number is grow
irg less.
All this is not saying word against the ability
or. the~usefulness OF women teachers. AS matter
OF fact women are the natural teachers of the race
No man IS temperamentally fit for the careful work
OF the lower grades. In the higher grades, how
ever, his services cannot we'll be dispensed with
not because women do not make good teachers OF
advanced courses, for they most assuredly do some
OF the best and most successful high school teach
ers in the State are wOmen-but because it is gen
orally held that the best training OF boy requires
that for portion of his life he study under man
teacher.
There is no good reason, particularly in a repub-
lie, where education is above all so important why
the profession OF teaching should not be made as
attractive alike for men and women as anv other
honorable calling. That this is not the case sug-
gests fault in educational system that re-
qures correction.

CLEAR AWAY THE RUBBISH

1t IS unfortunate that the Board of Public Works
cannot hnd means OF raising money with which to
clear the downtown streets. especially Market The
board says that II has not the necessary funds and
that it has asked the relief committee for $4,000
with which to pay for the cleaning
The board assumes that the propertv-owner has
no responsibility in the matter OF clearing awav
debris from the sidewalks in front OF his DESTROYED
buildings. Competent students of the charter saw
that the owner IS liable and that he can be made to
clear the walks. Many owners have been i'm
poverished by the FIRE and waiting action by the
insurance companies before going ahead with the
work OF clearing away rubbish Where an owner
has been hit hard by the disaster it is right to tenn
porize with him. but there are many owners who
have money and who will not act until forced to
do
A prominent contractor is quoted as saying that
he has had trouble getting pasterers and brick
layers for big jobs, even though he has offered ST
per day above the scale. The worImen give as the
reason for not accepting the tender that it is bet
ter for them to work in cities and towns where
there is relief from dust and dirt. Visitors from
the East tell that doing ourselves a great
injustice by not concentrating attention to the
serious question OF clean house. Pile. of debris
are menace to health and comfort and il is the
part of every loyal citizen and every city official to
give the street cleaning problem the closest study
and follow with prompt relief measures.
Market street from the ferry depot to Van Ness
avenue, should be cleaned without any further de-
lay. The Mayor, the Board of Public Works and
the property-owners along the thoroughfare should
get together Immediately and devise means of rails
ing funds for the work. Drastic action may be
necessary, but something has to be done. Day-in
and day-out waits viii prove detrimental to prop

SAN FRANcISco's SMALL POLICIES.

Up to the time of the great fire OF April San
Francisco had been one of the most profitable fields
for the underwriters in the world. axe it the
whole country over, the insurance companies dur
iug the last twenty years have paid in fire losses
about S54 out OF every SIoo collected as premiums
In California for the whole State the losses have
been about $40 less, the amount being about S44
out OF every SIoo.
This good showing in California has been due
to the extraordinarily good fire record in San
Francisco. In this city the losses have been only
about S27 out OF each SIoo collected as premiums.
The small losses are due to the fact that San Fran
cisco had been remarkably free from fires. SO few
were the fires. indeed. that the people got careless
about their insurance. Some large establishments
went so far as to carry their own insurance Thou
sands OF firms and individuals cut the amount car
ried down to the minimum. In some cases the in
surance did not equal p per cent OF the value OF
the property insured.
Fire risks in San Francisco have thus been good
risks The insurance companies have collected large
premiums and returned small percentage Of
losses Few OF the policies represented the amount
that the companies would gladly have written.
Thus the attempted shaving of policy represent
ing from half to a quarter of the value OF the
property insured can scarcely be regarded as an
honorable business transaction In the light OF the
insurance situation in San Francisco before the
fire. well as after it. no reasonable excuse, except
inability obligations, can be given why the
companies should not paw

WORK OF THE FIREBoATs.

The work OF the tugboats Sunday in preventing
the spread of the hay wharf fire at Third and Berry
streets shows that it would be good investment
for the State and city maintain at least two more
freboats The Fire Department did splendid work
from the shore side and successfully prevented in
roads of the flames on the inhammable buildings
near the scene of the burning hay piles The tugs
not ONLY kept the fire we'll covered and confined it
TO narrow strip OF water front. but they towed
vessels to safe docks and saved much valuable
shipping.
Owing to the blocked condition OF the streets
the fire engines found some difficulty reaching the
fire. The engines OF outlying districts had to take
circuitous routes to reach the docks. However,
the tugs held the fire in check and until the depart
ment got to work, and then Chief Shaughnessy
showed how capable he in handling danger
Gus situation, and he demonstrated that mistake
lad been made when he was made the head OF the
Fire Department.
The iretugs Governor Markham and Governor
Irwin maintained by the State Board of Harbor
Commissioners, are both fine fre-hghters Unfor-
tunately it is frequently necessary to detail one OF
these vessels to assist in towing State barges and
dredgers The Commissioners aim to keep one
boat on fire duty at the bukhead but it, too is
the dredger department Two fireboats ought to
be at the bukhead at all hours of the day and night
to answer fire alarms If the City could afford to
provide one of such craft and the Harbor Commits
sioners the other the shipping district of the city
would be given better fire protection than it has
ever had before.
