MATCHLESS MAN

John Burns of s2s Stockton street
was walking slowly home along dark
thoroughfare early yesterday when
three foreigners loomed up just ahead
Of him.
Match, senor?" said one of them
Indicating a cigarette in his hand
Sure" said Burns, feeling slowly
I'm one pocket after another IT had
one-somewherev And he resumed
the search for several minutes longer.
Nope" he declared finally, guess
was mistaken"
"Carambai" exclaimed the disap-
pointed one, whipping out a stiletto
and jabbing Burns in the back.
That's what man gets for tryin'
to be obliging," complained Burns
when he reported the affair at the

Superintendent Roncovieri
Declares City Will Keep
Attorney Generals In
depreciation of Law
PURCHASE FALLS TO
PARENTS DISCRETION
Circular to Teachers Enpna-
sizes. However, That This
Is Not Required

Superintendent of Schools Alfred
Roncovieri announced yesterday that
the opinion of Attorney Seneral Webb
that the California free textbook law
requires that the pupils be furnished
free all books and supplies, even to
pens and penwipers, would be kept to
the letter by the board of education.
AS the attorney generals interpre-
tation of the new law did not reach
the board of education until the open
ing day of school 1t found the city un-
prepared to furnish some of the cheap
er books and supplies. but these will
be procured and distributed free as
soon as bids can be called and the
articles purchased.
Textbooks not included in the state
series are about the only things of
Importance which the school depart
nent is not prepared to furnish. These
are not required except in the sixth,
seventh and eighth grades, so that the
present lack for free distribution will
not effect more than $4,000 pupils.
COST Is NOMINAL
such supplies as we are not able
to furnish at present will not amount
planned the superintendent.
In a circular issued yesterday to
principals and teachers Roncovieri ex
plains the situation as follows:
The recent opinion OF the attorney
general leaves the department unpre-
with books other than the regular state
series texts. At best, it will take
some time before these extra books
and supplies can be furnished. How
coxr fe-
no law to prevent parents from pur-
chasing and owning any books, includ-
ing those of the state series. The pur-
chase of books or school supplies is
entirely a matter of discretion with
parents. 1t is quite evident, however,
that pupils will make better progress
in their studies If they have the neces-
sary books and supplies than if they
do not have them. Parents should
therefore be advised that it is to the
advantage, of their children to be sup
piled with such, books, but that there is
no compulsion whatever.
NEW SUPPLY COMING
Il am informed by the state superfrl-
tendent of public Instruction that deal
ers VIII be supplied with textbooks of
the state series as soon as possible
after August 10. 1913. Please notify
parents that those who prefer to own
the state series textbooks may purchase
them from the dealers, otherwise the
school VIII loan them to the children
term by term.
II have just received word from the
state superintendent that a second in
stallment of state series textbooks will
be forwarded to us in a few days. They
VIII be sent 10 you as soon as possi-
President dAncona OF the board of
education announced yesterday that
next Tuesday classes for instruction in
millinery would be opened at the Ham
ilton and the Irving M Scott schools.
