Los Angeles, Dec. 31.-More than
so per cent of the oriental emigrants
to the United States are affected with
hookworm.
This was the statement of Richard
H. Taylor, special agent of the fed
eral immigration service, here on a
trip of inspection. The disease l.
more prevalent among the Hindu !,
according to MIR. Taylor, but abou;
half of the japanese and Chinese who
come to California from the Orient
are victims.
Experts of the board of medical ex-
aminers are kept busy in their inspec-
ton of Oriental immigrants in an eff
fort to detect hookworm victims, &C.
cording to the special agent.
"There are 10000 Chinese in Brit.
ish Columbia waiting for a chance tt
slip into the United States" said Mr.
Taylor. "They pay $500 head taS
for admission to Canada for a chance
to get into this country. The Chi
nese question is serious one."

minstration of the local immigratio.

To Keep Old Legends

Fillmore, Dec. 31.-The ancient tri-
bal legends and native songs of the
lost tribe of Sespe Indians will be pre-
served through the medium of the
photograph. Probably the only liv-
ing member of this once populous
tribe has been located, living near
Saticoy, by DR.. F. A. Bizzell and
George j. Henley. She is an old won
an, about IA years Of age. She will
speak the legends into a photograph,
and also sing the native songs.
The early legends have a wealth
of poetic imagery, while her tales CT
later period deal with the early his
tory of Ventura county.
The Sespe Indians were the last Of
the Indians in this locality to become
pacified, their last outbreak having
occurred in the early sixties.
When the records are made they
will be sent to the Smithsonian lnsti-
tute. The county historical museum
at Ventura will also have a SCI.

Thinks the State
Should Examine

| That the state board of education
should set the standard by which s
teacher would be allowed to instruc
in the public schools of the state, alst
that the examination of teacher.
should be under the supervision of thu
state board, is the opinion of Count.
Superintendent of Schools l.. E
Cooley. According to Superintendent
! Cooley, when an examination is held
even if there is only one teacher tax.
ing the papers, the county is put tt
an expense of about $3.50, las ths
county board has to meet for three OF
four days and pass OH the applica'
ton. An examination will be held in
this city beginning next Tuesday, two
or three taking the papers.
The head of Imperial county's
schools also believes that the stand
ard of the teachers would be higher
if the state commissioners held the
examinations, for the rules would be
stricter, while held by the county
they are liable to be somewhat lax
He is also of the opinion that the
county would save money. even if it
had to pay the carfare of applicants
to state examination.
Zone of the great drawbacks to the
present SYSTEM" states Superintend-
ent Cooley, "is the granting of spe-
cial certificates. An instructor in
drawing, music or other subject will
qualify for one study and receive a
special certificate, and later be teach
ing other subjects, although they have
no ability other than the one they
specialized in.
California schools are very fortu-
nate, however, in having teachers of a
very high class. There are not a
great number of examinations on &C
count of the majority of applicants
being graduates from our normal
schools. Salaries here are better than
in the East, and we demand much
higher qualifications than they do
there.
"The new state law creating com
missioners of schools is going to
work out well. This law provides for
three commissioners, high schools, ell
ementary schools and utilities. 1mpe-
rial county was honored by having
Prof. Randall Of Brawley called north
for. consideration for appointment as
high school commissioners. Prof. Ran
dali made a grand showing, but the
political north placed their man.
"The newly appointed commission
ers will visit schools throughout the
state, just as county superintendent
does, to better find out the educational
needs. In my mind there is no doubt
but that this system will work Won
ders for the betterment Of our school
system"

Word Comes From
President v. ]. Palmer

The best news Of the year, az far
as the future OF Phoebe Is concerned,
was received here yesterday when
Superintendent Van Wagenen of
the Amalgamated Phoebe Mines &
Shelters corporation, received In
structions from the New York office
of the company to start development !
work at No. shaft.
This is the news that has been an
tlcipated for months past and which
the citizens Of this camp have waited
patiently for
According to Mr.. Van wassnen. the
first task to be undertaken will be
the sinking Of the present shaft,
which is now down 1880 feet, at least
900 feet deeper. Then. In all proba-
bility it will be the purpose to cross
cut to the sulphide ore Of the black
ledge" and dsatherwise explore the re-
eources Of the property,
In othr words, the present manage
ment expects to push the explora
tory work at the Amalgamated mines
with just as much vigor as possible,
and to get them In shape for produc-
tion upon an extensive scale just as
soon as such feat can be accom-
plished.
II will probably be at least two
weeks before the company will be
ready to begin actual operations
But In the meantime. Mr.. Van Wagen
en- will have a force busily engaged
in arranging the preliminaries.
Soon after the receipt OF the newl
from New York, Mr.. Van Wagenel
gave orders that the Shay engine, t
be placed In service on the "higl
line" tc Immediately put in orde
for commission. Later in the day. |
big order was placed for mining tim
