The court of appeals in unfolding
the constitutionality of the new
school law, holds that the county
board of education has the right to
determine what amount OF money is
needed by the schools; what is more
10 the purpose. 1t provides the means
whereby the fiscal court can be made
to supply the money. The money so
raised is to be applied to the needs
of the schools themselves, the state
making liberal provision for the pay
OF the teachers. The value OF this
decision cannot be over-estimated.

THE sIcEL MURDER.

There are many social phenomena.
which Indicate condition, that
should arouse anxiety; but there is
little occasion for hysteria in the
murder OF Elsie sigel by her Chinese
lover; though there might be lesson
for mothers In her sad ending. Not
everyone Is 1T TO be a missionary,
foreign or home. Age, preparation
and conservation are necessary. II
seems in this case that the mother
was very much Interested in Chinese
missions, and she brought up her
daughter TO that work, regardless OF
the girls age and qualifications
There is some occult attractiveness
in the oriental dress. customs and
environments, which naturally appeal
TO young people of the susceptible
age of Miss Sigel Apparently she
was more than missionary teacher to
the willy Leon Ling. who was an
adept in
"Ways that are dark
"And tricts that are vain"
for which the Heather Chinee is
peculiar.
The parents were warned of the
character and intentions of Leon
Ling. They did not heed the warn
Ing, and the murder followed. There
will be an overhaullng of the Chinese
missions in New York. These settle
ment workers are not always repre-
sentatiyes of churches and orthodox
creeds. and people who go unarmed
TO contend with the centuries old
philosophy and civilization of the
orient. sometimes are the vanquished.

English Women Are Tall

The searching glare of the law courts
has been brought to bear upon the sub
ject oe the English woman's figure, SAYS
a writer in the Gentlewoman. During
the progress Of a case between a whole
sale costumer and a draper expert opin-
ion was called to compare the figures
of English women with those of the
American and French
1t was discovered that Americans lack
the English woman's height, though
their shoulders are broader and waists
larger. The stock shoulder size for Ia
dies across the Atlantic is six inches
while madam on this side of the water
can boast but four and three quarters.
But the lergth from neck to waist for
the average woman in America is only
14A inches, while in England il is 161[

baums Sunday "pop" concerts
will be given next Sunday after
a noon at Lyric hall. The local inn
presario's zeal in behalf of cham
Der music has been the theme of frequent
praise in this column. It is pleasant
to observe that others have noted the
efforts of Greenbaum, Minetti and 9TH
ers to keep alive the demand for string
quartet music and to cultivate taste
for it.
Everybody relishes even distant ap
proval. Our efforts to keep chamber
music before the public and Green
baums plan of reduction in seat prices
has inspired Eric de Lamarter to write
this in the Chicago Record Herald:
Just as true as the Manhattanese
turns his eyes only eastward or within
his own sufficient self whenever things
artistic are subjects OF medita ton, so
we forget here that there are musi-
clans and music lovers and concerts to
west and north and south
1T will be with some surprise, but
with much greater satisfaction, that
many musicians will learn of three
high class string quartets in San Fran
cisco alone. To be sure their present
prominence is due to their valiant ef-
forts to keep alive. But they are there,
and that is a point much in their favor.
Lately the managers of these quartets
have had to face the ineXhaustible pos
sibilities of empty houses. One organi-
zation of the three has determined that
this misfortune shall not be the pro-
phetic handwriting on the wall.
ITO remedy conditions a plan not the
easiest of the only two possible has
been perfected. No one is TO go around
with the dilapidated hat and a tale of
woe soliciting subscriptions to keep
alive an organization for which there
is no field of activity. They are deter
mined to create the field. Which is a
heroic decision, one that touches on
the heart of things.
There is a novelty about the idea as
well as the decision. The standard of
music is not to be lowered The ticket
price alone is to suffer. This is more
sensible than it may sound. The rea-
sonable admission fee will permit mu-
sicians of modest means to attend regu-
larly. students, who will determine the
tastes of the next generation, will be
enabled to make the acquaintance of
the musicians music Of the present
generation.
San Francisco has long been noted
for its appreciation of opera and its
support of famous visiting soloists is
proverbial. 1t is high time that some
thing definite should be done for the
great instrumental forms, and this
seems to be an earnest effort About
two dozen more chamber music concerts

This we'll has been remarkable. not
only on accountsof the fierce cOnhaGra-
