TO RENEW
ANNUAL AFFAIR
League of Cross Will Give Drill
and Concert at Audi
tOrium
Reorganization of Young Men
Enrolled in Cause of
Temperance

Another of the famous institutions
OF old San Francisco before the fire."
and annual drill and concert of the
League OF the Cross Cadets, has re-
turned to it's own. Announcement was
made yesterday that for the first time
in three years, with new uniforms and
forces reorganized, and a trained regi-
mental band of so pieces. this yearly
event OF the cadets will be celebrated
in fashion bigger, better and finer
than before at the Auditorium Aug
ust 6.
For a dozen years previous to the
fire the League Of the Cross Cadets, a
splendidly drilled and disciplined body
of young soldiers Of the cause of tenn
perance, gave an annual drill and con-
cert that came to be regarded by San
Franciscans as one of the features Of
the year. The young men drilled
themselves for months beforehand in
enthusiastic rivalry TO win for their
respective companies the valuable tro-
phies that were awarded for their skill
and knowledge of military tactics. But
in the fire their uniforms and equip
ment were destroyed, their organiza-
tion disrupted and the cadets scat
tered far and wide. Two cadets helped
the clergy of st. Mary's in lighting
flames when the tower caught fire
April 19.
CADETS REORGANIZED
Reorganizing the cadets meant prac-
tically making a start anew. During
the last year, however. the work has
been going on quietly until now all
is in readiness for their first appear
ance. In natty new uniforms and with
guns in place of the sabers with which
they were formerly armed in their
drills, they present a splendid front.
The new League of the Cross Cadets
consists of six companies, with their
regimental band. Colonel James z.
Power is the commanding officer, and
will head the regiment at the Audi
torium August s. The program will
open with a concert by the league baud
under the direction OF Professor Won
der Mehden The band is one of the
best trained musical organizations in
the west.
The concert will be followed by a
regimental review and the following
special numbers:
Drill exhibition by Company A. Cap
tain Milo Kent commanding; physical
work by Company G, Captain Frank
pany L, Captain Frank Grimley COM
manding; guard mount by Company y,
Captain II. J. Leonard commanding.
There will also be other special fea-
lures on the program.
Great numbers of San Franciscans
are expected to turn out in welcome
to the cadets in this. their first pub
lie appearance since 1905.

The applicant must demonstrate by
working out 10 or 20 problems with his
tools, and if he can do that he is ad-
mitted, otherwise rejected. This rule
has been adopted because of many COM
plants that membership in a union is
not absolute proof of competency.

writing of his best teacher said Another thing
which made great many respect him, especially
boys, that when he speaking to you he
seemed to put you on the same level with himself,
and not to treat you pupil almost entirely under
his control"
When remember what critical, dramatic
period in life the high school age is how very many
are misunderstood, discouraged and drop out, how
many young hopes and ambitions crushed, how
many promising careers nipped in the bud,-we
realize the Importance of the work the teacher per-
forms in the community The one large and i'm
portant conclusion that issues from all that has been
said, is the Importance of the moral qualities,
pathy, insight, self control, as compared with the
intellectual qualities in the makeup of the child's
ideal teacher.
Personality is the thing that counts in the
school, outside of it. Emerson clearly recog
nized this fact when he wrote his daughter at
college that it mattered little to him what her
studies were what he wanted to know most of all
was who her teachers were. And Emerson

atmosphere.
1t is like the smoke and dust
of a journey; for the earth is
really Journeying, along with the
sun, toward the northern part of
the universe, and as it goes it
draws in with its attraction the
refuse particles that apparently
exist throughout space.
But while there can be no
doubt of the existence of this
silent rain of minute matter on
the earth, the difficulty has been
to recognize it after it reaches the
ground. Of late years, however,
it has been found mingled in the
ooze dredged up from the sea
bottom, and a few years ago,
when Baron Nordenskjold visited
Greenland, he gathered a guam
tity of dust particles from the
great snow fields there, which
were believed to have come from
the sky.
This conclusion was after
ward disputed; but a new
analysis has now been made,
which seems to show decisively
that large part of the material
is really cosrnic dust. A compu-
tation based on the amount
found on the Greenland moors
indicates that the earth must
gather in. over the whole of its
surface, at least one hundred and
thirty-two thousand tons of the
dust of space every year.

hurried across the square, and in
quired for Bray. Shown into the
dim library to await his hosts
coming, he was confronted by
young girl strangely like his long
dead sweetheart. Alice's daugh-
ter! Oddly enough, he never before
had thought of her in this con-
nection. She had seemed all
Bray's whenever her existence
had occurred to him. And here
she was speaking in voice that
might have come from that far
Kentucky grave.
You're Professor Daxis!" the
girl cried with soft excitement.
And you've come toto talk
things over with papa. Gilbert
said he knew you would, and he
has such faith in you that L

YOU will make papa see that it's

Again the old mans bodily
powers betrayed him. He found
himself drawing this second Alice
toward him, and kissing her gently
on the forehead. I'll see, my
dear, I'll see about it, his quiet
voice said.
Then, Good morning, good
morning! Have you been wait

who had wooed and won the

friendship between your daughter-Aice's daughter
and Mary's boy"
There was long silence in the room, while each
silently lived his youthtime over, each heart
sweetly aching with memories long pushed into the
background Then:
They're too young for anything definite" said
Bray weakly. The boys not really settled to
work and the girls only just out of college. But
suppose we might-might let them be friends. any
way, seeing they're so set upon it. nd-and the
hand he held out shook slightly; but the smile on

Must Inspire Loyalty
THE ideal teacher must inspire of personal
loyalty in his pupils This point is touched on by
the boy who wrote She seemed to think 1t necessary
that YOU should swear to everything before she be-
lieved vou When teacher is like that, fellow
does not feel like helping her. And another boy
observed, Most pupils, if they feel that one trusts
them feel very low and sneaky if they do anything
wrong; while on the other hand, if teacher is al
ways afraid that pupil going to cheat and treats
him though he thought he could nt trust him, the
latter is very apt live up to the teachers trust
That, at least, is the way feel about it."
This seems to be the consensus of opinion among
high school boys though it must be noted that the
seniors at Yale recently voted against the honor
system.
