RECENT CHANGES.

Among the things accomplished in this city
during the last year according to one of the
associate city superintendents, were the su-
pervision of ungraded classes which are for
the mentally defective, who must be passed on
by medical examiners and receive manual train
ing mostly. work for crippled children. the
placing Of a teacher in the home for consump-
tive children at Coney Island and a kinder
gartner in the home for blind children at Dyker
Heights
The public schools of the country are Of
the greatest agencies, if not the greatest, in fit
ting the young for citizenship, and if all the immi
grants were children. in few years through
compulsory education they would be competent
to exercise the right of citizenship. But what
is to become of the adults who arrive here in
increasing mum bers from foreign lands. knowing
nothing about our language, customs and laws?
1t is here that the adjuncs of the public schools
referred above, come in-namely, the free
evening schools and free public lectures, the
latter of which have been 50 truly called -
university for the people" and primarily for
the education of adults. 1t is largely through
these branches that adult foreigners may be
fitted for citizenship. During 1905-O6 there
were ninety evening schools in this city, with an
enrolment of 107 $50 pupils The evening school
staff included 1888 persons. To show what the
evening schools are doing for the foreigners the
following, from the report Of Matthew j. Elgas,
district superintendent in charge of evening
schools, is to the point
TEACHING ENGLISH TO FOREIGNERS
''The number of non English speaking pupils
enrolled during the season was S5070, with an
average attendance of 13,047. an increase Of II
per cent.
THE teaching Of English to foreigners in our
evening schools has come to be justly regarded
as perhaps the most important branch of in
structfon. Principals and teachers have de-
voted more time and attention to the subject
than ever before, and the results have been most
gratifying The teachers, whole were bet

have proved. Last year only per cent of those

ship Arthur Sewall, Captain Gafney, is
thought by many to be lost and main
land papers refer to the finding of a
derelict off Cape Horn as evidence OF
her fate, although there was nothing
in the description of the derelict that
would clinch the argument and there
are probably few who credit the theory
that her crew we're devoured by canni-
balls.

FALL DOWN IN
GAMBLING CASES
TWENTY-THRBE ALLEGED GAM
BLERS RELEASED FOR LACK OF
EVIDENCE AGAINST THEM.

over twenty cases were on the calen-
dar this morning at Police court and
in the majority of cases the defendants
were found not guilty. Fourteen gam
bling cases were tried, and in each
case the defendant was discharged
Five Chinese who were arrested by
Chief of Detectives Taylor and Special
Officer Joe Leal for gambling were
found not guilty, as the evidence was
held to be not convincing enough to
hold them. Attorney ChiIlingworth de-
Tended the five.
Nine boys were defended by Attor-
ney Rawlins for the same thing and in
their case as in the other case, the
defendants were found not guilty. Bor-
ges, a store keeper in the Kalihi dis
trict was the complaining witness for
the prosecution, having been brought
in at the eleventh hour, as the COM
plant made by officer Leal was not
strong enough.
Special Officer Espinda was called
to the stand, but he could not state ii
there was any gambling going on or
not. Leal was also called but he stat
ed that he had not seen any gambling
The nine boys all told about the same
story and the evidence of the COM
planning witness was not strong enough
to convict them.
Attorney Rawlins in closing criticized
the police for queer ways he said they
were using in getting up charges a.
gainst prisoners.
Sam Campbell, who was arrested for
assault and battery and for using bad
language, was let off very easy, as the
complaining witnesses against him
were not present. He was fined $1C
and costs, which he paid. T. BOOKSELLER
who was arrested for drunkenness the
other day, had that case nohe pressed
but asked that he might be declared g
vagrant as he was unable to get job
and he was unable to get enough
money to get out of the country. H;

to see some very interesting events
Jordan, Kennedy, Brown, Cooke and

Seven events have been decid-

be very well entered. The events will
start about nine o'clock, so that they
can be finished in plenty of time to
allow people to get their lunch, and be
ready for the big baseball game that
will be played in the afternoon. The
complete list of events will be decided
upon tomorrow at meeting to be held

NEW RESERVOIR

superintendent Campbell, Of the De-

to the new Makikd reservoir this morn
ing, and reports that within a week or
ten days the new work will be put in
service. All that remains to be done
now is the putting in of a strainer,
and clearing away some vegetation.
With the new reservoir in commission,
the high level water service which it
will accord will be particularly valuable
to the higher residential districts OF
Makild, and will also furnish a much
more adequate fire protection for a
large section Of the city.
