PLANS AND PROGRAMS
UNDER CONSIDERATION
School Officials Busy With De-
taiIs-Vacation Period
Near at Hand.

School officials, clerks, teachers and
public schools at the Franklin building
the headquarters of the school system
are hard at work preparing for the close
of the scholastic year. Much of the most
important work of the year is being done
now This includes the ratings of teach
ers, making lists of text books, filling out
requisition sheets and details of or
ganization. This last includes promo
tons, appointments, dismissals and re-
auctions.
With the close of the grade schools
next Wednesday the work Of the teach
ers will gradually diminish. probably be-
coming nil by Saturday afternoon.
Then, and then only, 1t is expected, will
they be able to start their own vacation
plans, although many have been planning
them throughout the winter months.
Vacation Plans.
The manner in which the teachers will
spend their vacations will be greatly
varied, it is said. A large percentage of
the teachers, according to the school Off
Gals. will use their vacation to improve
their qualifications, many of them going
away to summer colleges, where they
can learn points for degrees. The num-
Der who will attend the summer colleges
is rather indefinite, as no official notice is
given to the school chiefs. 1t is thought,
however. that the number who will at
tend summer colleges this year will equal
the number of any past year, and in all
proba bility be greater.
A few of the teachers and the directors
Of special work will go to universities
and colleges throughout the country
where there are summer schools, and
there teach special subjects. And many
of them will study.
Still others will seek Improvement and
recreation in travel. it was stated. Many
parties to Europe under the direction of
persons well versed in European travel
are already forming. Others of the
teachers Will travel in this country and
Canada.
To Attend Frisco Convention.
A large number have asserted their In
tention of attending the convention of
the National Educational Association, to
be held at San Francisco, Cal, July 8
to IA Much interest is being taken in
this convention, and efforts are being
made to stimulate the interest of the
teachers in 1t, as some Of the most prom
inent educators in this country will be
in attendance and will make addresses
on some of the most important educa-
tional problems Of the day.
AS to the pupils of the schools, more
than 10000 in number, 1t would be diff
cult to say what they are going to do.
IL the plans in those elastic, youthful
minds could be disclosed. however, 1t is
probable that each vacation would be, in
outline. one that would extend over more
years than the vacation Is weeks in
length. AS a matter Of fact, the vacation
the youngsters will have will be largely
In accordance with the parental wishes.

OLD SAILING SHIP WRECKED,
The Jabez Howes Lies at the Bottom
of the Sea.

The ship Jabez Howes, one Of the few
wooden sailing ships and the oldest flying
the American flag, has made her last
voyage. She lies on the bottom of the
sea at Chignik, Alaska. The old craft
was built at Newburyport, Mass. in
1877, and was the product of John Cur
rier's shipyard. In her day she was
considered one of the finest vessels of
her class afioat, and has some fast voy-
ages to her credit. For many years she
traded to Atlantic coast ports. but in re-
cent years has been in service on the
Pacific, running from Pacific coast ports
to those in Alaska. On the trip that
proved her last she was on her way TO
Chignik TO load canned salmon for AS
toria, Ore, and had reached her loading
port when the accident occurred. No de-
tails of the finish of the old craft have
been received.
