RUNS IN FRONT OF MOVING
CAR; MEETS INSTANT DEATH
Body of David Lang Is Tossed
Thirty Feet

In his anxiety to board a rapidly
moving, south bound Covina car of
the Pacific Electric railway at Orange
avenue crossing near Covina yester-
day afternoon, David Lang, who lived
at 637 East Twenty-seventh street,
ran directly in front of the car and
was instantly killed. His body was
tossed high into the air and fell al
most thirty feet away on the opposite
track.
According to eyewitnesses. Lang
was on the wrong side of the track
running toward the crossing and at
the same time waving frantically for
the car to stop. AS he neared the
crossing the car was within few
feet of him and he started to jump
across the track in front of 1t. AS he
did, Motorman Brown, in charge of
the car, applied both his brakes and
made a futile effort to bring the car
to a stop. Both motors of the car were
burned in Motorman Browns attempts
to save the mans life.
The body was removed to the Covina
undertaking parlors and later removed
to the undertaking parlors of w. II.

until we have out-of-door schools in
Los Angeles"
The out of door schools which Bos-
ton, New York and many other east
ern cities are now conducting were
studied carefully by Mr. Lickley this
summer and he returns to his work
this fall more convinced than ever that
this city needs these schools on q
large scale. He has always advocated
their installation, but is more than
ever enthusiastic on the subject now
"Boys and girls need just a roof over
their heads, just something to keep
the rain Off and nothing to keep them
from breathing every bit of the fresh
air they want. In New York l saw one
school which is conducted on a ferry
boat, and both Boston and New York
have roof school rooms on the top of
the regular school buildings.
PREVENTIVE PLANS
"These schools, however, are largely
instituted as remedial affairs, utilized
for children who are i'll. A preventive
scheme which would place all school
children in such environment that the
disease germs would never have a
chance to develop would be the part of
wisdom. but while educational science
is progressing at a wonderful rate, it
is still Handicapped by conservative tax
payers, who believe that the old
fashioned way was good enough. They
do not want to see any money spent on
new-fangled notions, never stopping to
consider the saving which some of
them would mean in the health of the
community.
Teachers for the new evening
schools will be selected from the list
of specially adapted instructors, and
j. c. Reinhard, who will be the super
vising principal of the Olive street
school, has had wide experience here
and in Oakland.
sit is interesting to note that many
of the Russian settlers resent the en-
forced attendance of their children in
the public schools, claiming that they
do not want them to acquire American
ways. So strong is this feeling that
many of the Russian families declare
an intention of moving away from
here, so that they may escape the in
fluence which they think is so bad for
their children. causing them to acquire
habits of disobedience.
1.-THE great advance in educational
work." concluded Mr.. Lickley, "is due
to the fact that teachers are learning
to consider each pupil as a unit, in
stead of following the old idea of con-
sidering the pupils as a group or mass.
All citizenship is based upon educa
ton, and education is expensive busi-
ness"
