BERKELEY PREPARATORY SCHOOL
The Berkeley preparatory school is
located in Berkeley, and has numerous
admirable advantages In attaining it's
end-that of preparing youths for the
universities. The curriculum, how
ever, is so arranged that sound prac-
tical education is given those who do
not intend entering upon college
course.
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL OF ARTS
The California School of Arts and
Crafts, situated at 2130 Center street
Berkeley, is, as it's name implies, a
practical school for designers, illustra-
tors. craft workers, craftsmen and
students of the fine arts. This school
was successful from the outset, and on
account of its growth it was obliged
to move, March, 1908. to its present
quarters. Again for the same reason
it was forced to add to its building, in
order to accommodate the large num-
Der of students who studied there. 1t
is not a boarding school, but numerous
students from all parts of the state
and country attend it, living in Berke-
ley and in Oakland. A special feature
is made of the students clubroom and
restroom.

Distinct, however, from these private
schools of arts. crafts and professions
are those which, while giving the
student all the advantages that may
be obtained from a public school. add
to them others Of particular kind.
In this class are included the military
academies, the converts, the finishing
schools, the academies for girls in a
certain position in life, and the bust
ness colleges. All have their specific
ends, and each is as valuable TO the
good of a community as the public
schools. In fact, the increasing popu-
larity Of private institutions and the
earnest desire of the American parent
10 give his child the value of these
specific advanta ges is proof sufficient
Of their great value. 1t needs no ar
gument to declare that the youth of

life's battle than he who, to his own
misfortune, has lacked the opportunity
to obtain these qualifications. So
dominant are the advantages of this
character that the world recognizes,
almost at a glance, the difference.
The public school gives as far as it is
able; but it can not, through the very
nature of its being. give what the pri-
vate school does. The military or
boarding school, having complete con-
troll of the child. has the greater adj
vantage of intoxicating into him that
high code of honor, that underlying
principle OF the true American gentle
man, which stamp him through life.
SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
You can pick a college man at
sight" is a common saying, and so
may one pick he who has graduated
from military academy or private
boarding school of high standing 1t
is the same with the education of the
girl. The convent, the finishing school,
the private academy, gives them GER
tain characteristics which they can not
obtain elsewhere.
IN the past and, to a certain extent,
in the present. there was a belief that
the private school was in direct oppo-
sition to the spirit of democracy which
should be the basic feature of the
American youth or maid. 1t is difficult
10 understand the force of reasoning
which declares un-American any effort
toward the betterment of the American
II is weak logic that states poor
health or undeveloped physique to be
truly American, that opposes an en-
deavor to hinder the perfection of an
American child. Unfortunate, indeed
is the American parent who, through
this mistaken sense of democracy, and
who, having it within his power, re-
fuses to give to his child those quail
fcations tending toward his higher
well being. The son who has to in

repeated praise from the officers of
the United States army for their smart
and soldierly appearance and for the
excellency of their drilling.
MILLS COLLEGE
Mills college and seminary is known
not alone in California, but throughout
the country. 1t was established in
Seminary park, Alameda county, in
1871. the founders being Rev. Cyrus T.
Mills and Mrs. Susan L. Mills. During
its early years it remained the private
property of the founders, but in 1877
it was incorporated under the state and
board of trustees. Still later a COM
plete college course was added to the
curriculum and it was granted a coll
lege charter, authorizing it to confer
degrees upon its graduates. The insti-
tuition is one of the most stable in the
west, and its buildings and grounds are
exceptionally handsome. The grounds
comprising $50 acres. offer unlimited
opportunity for outdoor amusement
and it is so situated that the college is
regarded as one of the healthfulest in
the United States.
ST. MARY's COLLEGE

of the historic private institutions of
learning in California. 1t was founded
in 1853, and is conducted by the broth

HAVE PUBLIC SUPPORT
The private school tends toward
higher perfection. That is one reason
they have received the support of the
American public that they have. Were
they otherwise they would have failed
most uismally. And California in no
whit behind the rest of the country
offers their peculiar advantages in as
great an abundance as any other state.
The narrow reasoning which declares
as not democratic and un-American
the private school seems to have for
its basic argument that 1t segregates
the student from the common run of
his fellows and thereby imparts an at
mosphere of snobocracy, detrimental
not alone to him but to the community.
Such argument would therefore class
a un-American the nations schools at

folly TO presume that the very large
number of American parents whose
children are attending private institu-
tons desired to see them transformed
into snobs, un-American and unworthy
of themselves, their ancestors and their
country.
Of the private schools for girls. the
converts play such an important part
in California that they must be con-

scheme of the state. And who is there

their care? The woman, ennobled and

have little or no leaf stalk and do not
taper from the stem end, but expand
directly from the stalk.
When the plants are ready to flow
er, all side shoots and all flowers
that do not rise from the central stalk
should be removed, permitting only
the early central flower clusters to
produce seed. Flowers growing from
the side shoots do not produce as
strong seeds as do central shoots.
By permitting the flowers to appear
here and there over the field, they
are very apt to cross-fertilize the
blooms of plants intended for seed,
which is disastrous when one is en-
deaVoring to obtain pure seed. The
grower should top his crop long be-
fore the blossoms appear.
The practice of removing the leaves
from the plants intended for seed at
the time of harvesting the crop is
quite prevalent. Needless to say, it
is a decidedly bad practice, and
should not be done under any con-
sideratiOn. If they are removed the
seed will be weakened and smaller,
for the leaves are necessary for the
full developmnt of the seed.

The question is often asked, What
IS fireproof house?" The term is
somewhat relative, and it has been
and is so much abused that people
have grown a trif1e skeptical about it.
Even intelligent architects have been
known to use little wire lath on their
partitions and then with superlative
effrontery call the building fire
proof" A fireproof house is one not
only built of incombustible materials,
but in such a way that even a confla-
grafton will infiict but the slightest
and most easily repaired damage; one
in which fire cannot travel from point
to point via the structural parts, and
one in which fire can be confined to
some one unit Of space or room in
which it originates, even though the
entire interior may contain c0mbus-
tible furniture and fittings.
Many materials, while incombustible
in themselves, can be very greatly
damaged by fire. Thus it is with gran
lite, marble, stone, iron, concrete, glass,
etc. These materials, if used, and
they all have their place, should be SO
arranged or protected that fire can
not assail or damage them. The really
tireproOf house is the one in which the
exterior walls are of Well-burnt brick,
terra Gotta or concrete, whose roof is
tile, slate or cement and asbestos
shingles; its floors and partitions
should be hollow tiles or concrete; it's
windows should be metal sash and
wired glass; the stairs should be
