10000 SCHOOL PUPILS

The greatest and grandest of all
parades in the history of Los Angeles
will be witnessed next Monday morn
ing. The spectacle will embrace 10000,
approximately, of the brightest, hap
piest and prettiest pupils that ever hied
to school on the first day of a term
The number of marchers in that in
formal parade will be the largest by
several thousand, ever witnessed in the
streets of Los Angeles.
An unusually propitious vacation
period has been enjoyed by the boys
and girls of the Los Angeles schools
The summer that will close next week
at the time of the autumnal equinox
will go on record as one Of the most
enjoyable in the modern history of this
section of California. No excessively
high temperature married the enjoy
ment of the youngsters at the seaside
in mountain or country, nor even in the
home environr. mt. All have had a de-
lightful vacation and all are eager now
to resume the work of storing their
young minds with knowledge acquired
in the admirable schools of Los An
geles.
AS an indication of the expected in
crease in the number of pupils in the
local public schools the figures relat-
ing to the high schools, as they ap-
pear at this date, are interesting. The
school superintendent says: "I have
assigned all the pupils who thus far
have applied for admission to the high
schools of Los Angeles. dividing them
between the two schools as nearly
equally as possible, with the result that
thus far 347 students have been de-
tailed to the Polytechnic high school
ard 334 to the Los Angeles high school
The Los Angeles high school will start
with about 100 of last years students
and the Polytechnic high school with
about 1916"
The usual difficulty in finding accom-
modation for the large increase in the
number of pupils will be experienced
next Monday. Probably not more than
25 per cent of the new school rooms, In
buildings now in course of construction,
will be available. Various makeshifts
will be resorted to, such as the use of
temporary shacks, rentable rooms and
halliday service. All of which is
greatly to the discredit of Los Angeles.

DISCIPLES OF NEW LANGUAGE
LEARN LESSON
Falterlng Tongues Stumble over the
Strange Words, but as All Be.
gan on Equal Terms Embar-
rassment Ceases

Members of the Society of Esperant-
lists held a meeting last evening in
Monmouth hall. Two weeks ago they
met and eleven people attended; last
night fifty people were there
Nearly everyone is familiar with the
facts that, Kamenof of Warsaw, Po-
land invented Esperanto about ten
years ago, and that the language is
compounded from all the principal Ian
guages of the world.
The eastern cities have taken up the
study and Los Angeles is waking up
to a knowledge of the language. The
society of Esparantists in Los An
geles Is still young, but all the MEM
bers are enthusiastic and hope much
for the new language.
Several classes have been formed
through the effonts of the society,
among them being one at the Young
Mems Christian association, and one
at the Young Women's Christian as
ISOLATION. Professor Howard Swan of
the University of Southern California
is also getting up several classes.
Last evening the first lesson in Esper-
anto was given and everybody was
supposed to take part. Much merri-
ment was caused by some people being
timid and afraid to try their tongues
with the new language. BY the end of
the evening, however, this had all
worn off. and everybody was looking
at the other with a little surprise and
much congratulation when they all
found they could reel off several yards
of finished material without effort.
J. M. Kean, president of the society,
had charge, and Professor Swan gave
the lecture, and a very interesting one
it was, too. Professor Swan said,
among other thing that the name,
Esperanto, which means, l hope much,
always reminded him of Los Angeles.
He said he thought Los Angeles could
very well be named that.
If every lesson was as easy as the
one last evening the language could
very well be learned in six months. The
grammar is easy and the spelling is
still more simple.
AS few know this language, everyone
starts in at the same place and every
one can feel exactly as foolish as the
next one
One old man was particularly obsti-
nate about speaking last night. He

A POLITICAL sIDEsHow

In Sundays local product Of Hearst
yellow journalism a dispatch from
Oakland appeared with the exclusive
news: "The independence league has
just closed it's labors by nominating a
state ticket in its convention held at
Oakland, September 6 and T."
The dispatch was brief and particu-
lars meager. but II was stated thai
THE atmosphere in the convention was
remarkable for its unanimity Of pur.
pose and the consequent harmony Of its
delegates" The quality of atmos-
phere surrounding a Hearst gathering
can readily be imaglned-it's rot. Like
wise the Harmony" among handful
of Hearst's stipendiaries.
No intimation is given about the
number of delegates present. An OBJ
viously malapropos admission is that
1.-THE eagerness Of candidates to be
placed in nomination was conspicuous
by its absence" No doubt 1t must
have required a coplous flow from the
Hearst barrel to induce even enough
wearers Of the Hearst collar to pose
as candidates on a sCarecrow ticket.
But a San Francisco lawyer named
Langdon, who Is a feeder at the public
crib in the capacity of a Schmitz ad-
ministration attorney, drew the "booby
prize" for Hearst's gubernational nomi-
nee. This person, as described, was a
country school teacher who invaded the
law business in 1895. He is a Labor
party leader and owes his present job
to the Ruef-Schmltz victory in the last
San Francisco election.
The young man Of thirty-five sum-
mers whom Hearst has adorned with
a yellow collar had his acceptance
letter ready before he received the COL
lar evidently, as it appears along with
the proceedings of the alleged conven-
ton. He says, with an air of conde-
scension, 'T believe in associating with
on the questions of political import
ance." He is initiating Gov. Pardee in
Stimulating a love for the laboring man,
as per example: Nearly every day
meet laboring men in San Francisco
and sit with them on lumber piles or
in machine shops and talk with them. 4"
No doubt they call him "Billy," as
the same class called Pardee George" 4"
as described in the governors SPELL
binding efforts.
1t adds picturesqueness to a political
circus when sideshows are in evidence
offering sights at freaks and monstros-
tiles, for small consideration. The
Hearst league sideshow in the state
campaign will be as interesting no
doubt, as Artemus Wards exhibition
of "snaix and a cunnin' little cuss of
a kangaroo"

Picking the teeth in public.

WANT THEIR NAMES CHANGED

Many of the Indian students shortly
after their arrival at Haskell Institute
ask Superintendent PEARS to change
their names, as the English transIa tion
is often ridiculous and source of con-
stant humiliation to its bearer Many
of the musical sounding names of the
various tribes are uttedly silly when
translated into a different tongue.
Strike-in- the-Face, Feather-in-His
Hat, Tobacco-in- His-Pipe and Hears
-With-Hs- Ears are good illustrat tions
and it is no wonder that dignified young
Indians sometimes object
The question of Indian nomenclature
is getting to be a serious one with
the department on account of the pro-
miscuous changes made by the Indians
in their names. When the Indian en-
ters the school he is given a school
name which is usually a translation of
his Indian name unless the former is
too ridiculous. This name he usually
retains all his life in spite of the fact
that he holds his allotted lands in an
other name, probably spelled in five
hyphenated syllables
The troubles of the department along
this line also increased by the fact that
no two members of the same family
keep the family NAME
The department has awakened to the
fact that on account of the Indifferent
attention given by the Indians to the
naming of their children there will be
serious complications in few years
when the settling of large estates be-
comes necessary on account Of death
of the founders of the families. Legal
disputes over relationships and inherit
anee are already becoming numerous,
and the mix-up over the inherited
lands Of the Indians will be a very
serious problem the department. viii
be forced TO face IN the near future.
Although no legislation to the effect
has already taken place, a strenuous
effort Is being made at the present
time to make the children Of one family
all retain the family name.-Lawrenee
