BOARD BALKS AT
new KINDERGARTEN
Berkeley School Superintendent
Declares Expense Bars the
Proposed Undertaking

BERKELEY. May 4.-That the board
of education could not stand the ex-
pense of kindergartens in Berkeley was
the declaration last night of Frank F.
Bunker, superintendent of schools.
when the matter was brought before
that body. He said. however. that il
the council called a bond election and
the people voted the necessary money
the school board would cooperate in
the work.
Mrs. Thomas Seabury and other club
women were present at the meeting TO
ask for the Endorsement of the kinder
garten movement, but owing TO the abb
sence of Director Roy Young no action
was taken
Bunker pointed out that the estab-
lishment of a kindergarten in face of
keen competition would curtail the
work of other departments and would
therefore work a hardship. He said:
IF a kindergarten is undertaken in
this city I would strongly urge that it
be organized on such basis that ef
ficient work can be expected and re-
quired. Much of the work now passing
under the name is exceedingly poor.
The first step would be to secure
woman of training and experience and
competent to lay out the work along
sane and progressive lines"
Bunker figured that a fund approxi-
mating $50 600 would be necessary for
the maintenance of a kindergarten for
three years.

OAKLAND, May 4.-Patrolman Harry
NJ. McCreedy, who was the hero of a
fre at Fourth and Harrison streets
last week, when he entered a burning
building and carried to safety a drug
crazed Chinese, who tried to stab him

OAKLAND, May 4.-John J. Conway's
views on the mentality of woman and
his enforcement of them in the case of
his wife, Mayme, met with no approval
by Judge Harris. Conway told his wife
that women had no right to read, as
they were not thinking creatures. He
took books out of her hands when she
tried to improve her mind. Judge Har-
ris granted Mrs. Conway an interlocu-
tory decree of divorce today.
She testified that on one occasion she
had seated herself and was about to
enjoy the delight of reading Hudson S
Psychic Phenomena when her husband
snatched the book out of her lap.
Ida Schulz could not endure the
thought of 400 women working under
her husband, Edward, who is foreman
of a cannery. She was always jealous
of him. Schulz declared, although with
none of the 400 did he give her cause
for jealousy. He was granted an inter-
locutory decree of divorce
w. II. Paul secured an interlocutory
decree of divorce against May B. Paul
