PUPILS SENT TOO
OFTEN ON ERRANDS
Trustee Objects to Teachers
Making Scholars Messengers
TSbecidl Dspatch 10 The Call

STOCKTON. June 2.-At last nights
meeting of the board of education Trus-
tee M. Henry raised an objection to the
habit of some teachers sending pupils
on errands. He said that the pupils
belonged in school and if it were neces-
sary to have some one run errands it
would be better to employ messenger
service.
Notice was served to the effect that
at the next meeting of the board
amendments to the school bylaws would
be offered as follows:
Changing the promotions from an
nual to semianRual.
Adopting the courses of study in
August instead of June, thereby giving
the board an opportunity to examine
the same before acting upon It,
Prohibiting the practice of having
pupils entertain in honor of visit by
the principal, superintendent or other
official.
Providing for the report of the COM
mittee on teachers, giving the list of
teachers in order that selections may
be made in June, so those not assigned
positions may make application else
where.

MRS. JENKINS CAN NOT
REPAIR HER BUILDING
Trustees Deny Permit to Daugh=
ter of Former Congressman
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

VALLEJO, June 2.-After one OF the
most interesting fights that has oc-
Cured at a meeting of the city trus-
tees in months the board at it's meet
ing last night refused to grant Mrs
Grace Hilborn Jenkins of Berkeley
permit to repair her two story frame
building in Georgia street, which was
recently damaged by fire. Two mem
bers of the committee on fire and water
recommended that the application to
repair the building be denied, while
Chairman Herbert of the same COM
-mittee went on record as favoring the
permit.
Mrs. Jenkins, who is the daughter of
former Congressman Samuel G. Hill
born. sometimes called the father of
Vallejo. was represented by Attorney
Fred w. Hall of San Francisco, who
pleaded earnestly against action which
would confscate the property of the
offspring of a man who had done so
much for the city. 1t was shown that
the amount of damage done to the
building by fire was less than a fourth
of the present value of the structure.
At the close of the discussion the
trustees by a vote of to 2 refused to
let Mrs. Jenkins repair the building
That the matter was not ended by the
action of the board last night seems
certain, but just what steps the owner
now proposes to take have not yet been
made public.

GOOD MAN GONE
Death Comes Suddenly TO Clark w.
Wakeman in His Western Home


The many friends of Clark w. Wake
man were painfully shocked on Friday
last to learn through a letter addressed
to Mrs. Mary f. Moon, near relative,
OF his sudden death which occurred near
Lowell, Wyoming.
The deceased was born in Bethany,
N. ", Dec. IL, 1913. AT the tender
age OF IS years he consecrated his ser
vice to his country and enlisted in the
Civil war in the year 1862, in which he
continued until its close. lie was two
months prisoner in Libby prison, in
Danville, Va, prison five months; from
there he was taken TO Andersonville,
where suffering and hardship cannot
be described by voice or pen. Here he
remained twelve months, making a
total OF nineteen months.
March 20, 1866, he was united in mar
riage 10 Miss Hattie A. Moon, with
whom he continued 10 live in holy and
happy union until death severed the
VIZ ~ uhS - lolo. Ilc W 10 ~ iuO VIC
voted husband.
In the year 1870 he enlisted under
Jesus Christ, the captain of his saliva
ton. AS in the service to his country,
so in the higher calling of the conquest
OF universal righteousness he remained
faithful TO the end.
About one year ago he left his beau
tiful home about six miles west of this
city in Grattan township to look after
his interests in Wyoming. He had
erected the buildings upon his large
ranch and was contemplating his return
TO his home here in time for the Sep
tember meeting in his church, when
the unexpected call was made.
He was friend TO all who knew him,
kind of heart, pure in purpose, and
will be greatly mourned. He was one
of the charter members of the Church
of Christ in this city and deacon and
trustee at the time of his death.
Mrs. Wakeman being unable TO re-
turn at the present time, the body was
deposited in the cemetery at Lowell,
seven miles from their home. The
sympathy of the church and COM
munity go out TO the widow in her
great sorrow.
His LIES race was well run,
His LIES work was well done,
His life's crown was well won,
And now comes rest, sweet rest
Mr.. Wakeman had been at work on
his new house with Clyde Hall during
the day, Mr., Hall leaving him still at
work about 3 o'clock p m. to go to a
neighbours after drill. Not returning
at p. M, Mrs. Wakeman started out
TO look for him and found him at the
roadside very sick with severe pains in
the chest. She assisted him TO the
house but he passed away an hour
later.
