COLLECT FUNDS FOR
VIOLIN PUPILS IN
STRESS BY WARTIME

It is announced from New York that
the spiering Endowment Fund has
been created with the object of pro-
viding permanent endowment fund
to establish scholarship, for talented
violin pupils in this time of national
emergency and ecenomicf upheaval,
when they would have greater diff
Guilty than usual in securing financial
support.
Prompted by this need and ,devo-
ton to their teacher, thirty former
pupils of Theodore Spiering, the
American violinist, in different parts
Of the United States have pledged
started local collections in many cit
and selection of candidates of scho1-
arships.
THE establishment Of these schol-
arships during this time of artistic
stress, is most opportune," the an
nouncement reads-"and of inestima-
BILE advantage to those profiting there
by for it will contribute to the main
tenance and advancement Of the gen.
eral musical standards throughout
the country
Mr.. Theodore Spiering, to whom the
Fund is a tribute, completed twenty
FIVE years of pedagogical service in the
United States. 1t was Mr.. Spiering
who, in 1893 gave an impulse to
chamber music by his quartet which
existed for twelve years. It was he
who, as Director of the New York
Philharmonic Orchestra, finished Gus
tav Mahler's season in 1910-1911. By
virtue Of his constant propaganda in
behalf of new and deserving works,
many new composers have been in
troduced to American people. Dur
ing the last few years. Mr.. Spiering
has appeared as violinist on the
concert platform.
The pupils committee of the fund
solicits aid in carrying out this phil
anthropic purpose, and asks that con-
tributions be sent to Mr. Herbert Dit
tier, treasurer, 325 West 18th street,
New York city.
Applications to become benefciar-
les of the fund may be made to the
same address and arrangements will
then be made for a hearing.

,-I-nstnted praise is due the Oakland Board of
Education for it's resolution to take the election of
the superintendent Of public schools completely
out of politics In order to do this effectively il has
invited number OF outside educators to join with
several leading Oakland citizens TO select a super

State university. stanford University and Mills

The aim Of the school board is TO engage for
superintendent an educator Of wide experience and
proven success administrator of school sys-
TENS To do this it probably will be necessary to
bring in an outside man. That will mean also the
advantage OF new enthusiasm and new ideas. Per-
haps it will also be necessary to pay larger salary
than at present ~ ~.
..But both these projects the outside man and the
higher salary, should if recommended by the com
nlittee be given the unanimous approval of the
parents taxpayers and all others interested in the
welfare of Oakland schools 1t is Of first Importance
that the highest possible standard be maintained in
the schools.
..The school system OF Oakland is big enterprise,
involving the welfare Of over 10000 children With
the rapidly increasing population the school faci
ties must be increased, and at once New schools
will have to be erected and many new teachers en-
ployed Unable to avoid this duty, Oakland can
best prepare to discharge it by employing super
intendent Of acknowledged ability to direct large

support the Board Of Education in its policy of
putting the best interests of the schools frankly

RE.HEAD IS
FOUND PREVALENT

DR. Victor A. Norgaand, territorial
veterinarian, in his report to the board
of commissioners of agriculture and
forestry, announces that .'sore-head
among chickens is becoming very pre-
yalent and he tells what should be
done IL a flock is found affected with
this disease.
Whether this is due to the unusu-
ally wet weather cannot be determin.
ed new" says DR.. Norgaard, but the.
fact remains that the poultry raisers
who wish to protect their chickens
by means of vaccination must begin
now to secure the scabs from which
to prepare the vaccine or else get
along without this valuable preventive
and treatment In this connection It
should be borne in mind that scabs
CT sores which have been treated with
iodine, carbolie, crude oil, or any other
remedy cannot be used for vaccine,
nor are the scabs which form subse-
quent to such treatment as effective
as these from untreated cases. It is
therefore recommended that until a
sufficient quantity of scabs have been
secured only the best birds will be
treated and that one or more cufls be
separated from the rest of the flock
and allowed to develop scabs freely.
A teaspoonful of Nscabs will provide
vaccine for about 100 young birds and
this amount may frequently be secur.
ed from three or four birds when
they are left untreated and kept on
ntFfood The scabs should not be
picked until they come off easily and
with little or no bleeding, and should
then be exposed to direct sunlight
until they are absolutely dry. When
placed in a well corked bottle wide
mouthedl they may be kept for years.
