Superintendent Roncovieri Counsels the Peda-
gogues to Vigorous Mental Life

For their annual convention the
teachers of the public schools of San
Francisco gathered yesterday morning
in the Alcazar theater superintendent
of Schools Alfred Roncovieri presiding.
His opening address. two lectures.
brief speech from the mayor and a
group of songs made up the morning
program from 9.15 to 1876 O'Clock, and
in the afternoon most of the teachers
went to Berkeley. where the California
teachers association is meeting this
week. No afternoon sessions of the
institute are TO be held on that account
1t was a morning of interesting
things not only for the teachers, but
for those outsiders who might have
strayed within the pedagogical gates.
Revolutions in educational methods
are coming more and more TO the fore
and less of formality and more OF in
divfduality is becoming the slogan of
the advanced educators.
superintendent Roncovieri laid espe-
cial stress in his address on the pow wer
of the teacher. He said in part:
TO secure the maximum of success
in our work the influence and person
ality of the teschers must he of a high
order The teacher is the school, Ro-
bust health, a vigorous mental life and
q 1ull SUCK eOLE patience are necessary
If the teacher is to make the most of
her opportunities. Teachers must study
the problems of modern life and realize
that the schools have very important
part In their solution.
MUST MODIFY STUDIES
Our course of study needs naodifica-
tion in many particulars and during
the. next term much win be done to
evolve one that will. as far as possible,
meet the new demands
The speaker asked the help of the
teachers and their suggestions. He
also expressed a hope that the teacher
would understand that he had no SYM
pathy with the tendency of some SUI
perintendents TO relegate the teacher
TO position of subordinate Importance
in the educational system
He said: Il believe in reducing
the number of pupils assigned to
each teacher TO more reasonable
number than is now the rule of this
department. believe In good teach
ers, and good pay for good teachers. /
believe In life tenure I believe in the
movement for state retirement fund
TO pension aged and disabled teachers
II is pathetic for teacher of waning
strength to continue teaching for pecun-
iary reasons. The pension is protec-
tive In its nature. IT Is for the good OF
the service and IN the interests of the
children. Let us, then. all put our
shoulders TO the wheel. and work for
The San Francisco call., 1910-12-28

the passage of the bill which shall give
teachers a retirement salary with a
minimum of not less than 5000 per
annum.'
Mayor Mccarthy was introduced by
Roncovieri as .,one. who believes In the
upbuilding of the schools"
The mayor then bade the teachers
welcome.
Prof. Lee Emerson Bassett of the
English department. at Stanford uni
versity, gave a lecture on The Teach
ing of Poetry which was interesting,
instructive and amusing. There are
three ways. he said, of approaching the
study-the historical. the biographical
and the critical These are all good,
but not good enough.
He advised that reading aloud OF
poetry be encouraged among teachers
and pupils. and that a few poems be
known well rather than that the pupils
know about great many.
URGES GROUPS OF THREE
The closing address of the morning
was by DR.. George f. James. dean of
the college of education, University OF
Minnesota, who. under the title of "A
Peda gogical Relic. advanced some new
and revolutionary ideas as to the sys-
tenn of public education.
Inc speaker maintained tnat. the ira
ditional grouping into four primary,
four grammar four high school, four
college and four professional years for
complete education should be replaced
by groups of threes. The present sys-
tenn brings the individual to the age OF
20 or 80 before he is ready to begin the
practice of his profession
Six years, Doctor James believes. are
enough to give an elementary school
training, and intermediate school or
three years should be established for a
vocational course for those children
who must go to work. and six year
high school should have the seventh
and eighth grades, with the present
day secondary school. He advocates
also a combination six years course IN
college. OF which three should be iloerai
and general in character and the othef
three technical or professional.
We have made a fetch of coeduca-
tion.' he said in closing. We have
thought it consonant with democracy TO
educate boys and girls in the same
schools at the same time. But II is a
mistake. And for this the speaker was
applauded.
AT the closing hour Mrs. Mary sPrag
read tribute to the late Mrs Margaret
A. Deane, pioneer educator OF this
city. and suggested that resolutions OF
respect he passed.
The second days session will open at
s:l5 this morning.

CHAPTER X.
In a Garden of Dreams.

In the garden the moons faint light
glimmered on the broad, satiny leaves
of the camellias and the delicate trac-
cries of red maple foliage. At it's
farther side, amid Towering bushes
which cast long indigo shadows stood
a small ragoda, brought many years
before from Korea, and toward this
Daunt and the girl whom he had held
for a breathless moment in his arms,
strolled slowly along winding, peb.
bled path tremulant with the flicker
ing shadows of little leaves. The
structure had small platform, and
here on a bench they sat down, the
fragrant garden spread out before
them.

DAMAGED BY GALE
Schooner Five Sisters Loses Boil
Masts in Northwest Blow.

The two-masted river schooner Five
Sisters: Capt. sLenge. was SUFFERER from
the northwest gale and is lying near
Alexandria in a badly damaged condi-
ton waiting repairs. The vessel Thurs
day afternoon completed the unloading
Of a cargo of pine lumber at Alexandria
and started down the river for Aqua
creek, Va, to load back to this city. She
was carrying full sail and was a short
distance above Fort Washington when,
without warning. both masts snapped
of. and sails and hamper went over
board. Fortunately no one on the
schooner was struck by the falling spars,
but the accident made a complete wreck
of the vessel. Considerable labor was
required to get the broken masts and
the sails attached back aboard the
schooner, and she was anchored to await
the tug that is to take her to Alexan-
dria for repairs.
The Five Sisters is a regular lumber
trader to this city, and the accident Will
put her out of service for about two
weeks She is owned by Capt. Wesley
