THE TEACHERS' CONVENTION
FIFTH ANNUAL SESSION OPENED AT THE
NORMAL SCHOOL YESTERDAY
Larf? A; iemblnze of Notable Educational
t.ilhts From Many Sections of th- State.
Sparring at the Morning and Afternoon
Sessions — Evening Exercises.
The Opening of a three-days' convention
marking tbe fifth aunu.d session of the
Southern California Teachers' association
took piece in the auditorium of the slate
normal school building, this city, at 9 a.m.
yesterday. Prof. I harles H. Keyes of Pas
adena presided.
The program for the day, which was in
three sections—morning, afternoon and
evening—wm ushered in with the regular
opening exercises of the school. At that
lime the assembly room, which has a seat
ing capacity of 1000, was more than half
tilled. < m proceeding with tho program it
was found that none of the speakers of tho
morning set down for addresses hao: ma*e
rialized and an intermission until lOociock
was announced.
This interval was a period of general ef
fusiveness; plenty of hand shaking and a
gcod deal of kissing. A portion of the time
was reserved, however, for an informal ex
tension of the organization by the accession
of new members.
At 10 oclock, as was predicted, num
erous reinforcements by train from the
surrounding towns arrived, and the assem
blage of educational notables from Berke
ley and Stanford universities, of other por
tions of the state, as well as of Los An
geles, together with a large gathering of
teachers of Southern California, nearly
tilled the large auditorium.
In the assembly were:
Dr. Thomas J. Bailey of Berkeley, who
was to have made the llrst address of the
morning, was unable to appear until late
and the next number of the program was
submitted. This was a report of * com
mittee on high schools, presented by Prof.
T. E. Perham, chairman, Santa Ana,
bearing on the conditions and needs of
secondary schools of Southern California
and their relations to the universities. It
consisted of four sub-divisions, two of
which were read in the morning, the other
two at the afternoon session.
The first phase of the subject, prepared
by the sub-committee. Dr. Lyman (Gregory,
Professors W. F. Bliss and P. P. Davidson,
was **The course of study of high schools
with one and two teachers and their rela
tion to the universities: ,? the second, ar
ranged by Professors Lewis B. Avery, N.
A. Richardson, F. P. Davidson and Miss
Eugenia Fuller, specified "What latitude
should be allowed high school pupils in ttie
election of studies?*'
After the reading of these pamphlets,
which occupied an hour, many animated
and brilliant discussions of opposing ele
ments, led by Professor Edward Griggs,
Stanford University, took place in fifteen
minute speeches by several professors
specified on the program, as weil as live
minute addresses by a number of volun
tary speakers from the audience. In this
racy interchange of opinions the hearers
had the extreme pleasure of listening to
discussions, witty, brilliant, learned, argu
mentative, contradictory, the end of which
left them in the totally uncertain position
of not knowing where they were at.
The chief points of controversy were rel
ative to elective studies, specialism in
teachers and pupils, the relation of the
universities to the high schools and in
what measure the latter should be domi
nated to the higher body. The following
statement of the first division was also a
topic of dissension. "The university
should accredit these schools in such
branches as Knglish history, mathematics
and Latin, without demanding laboratory
work which is impracticable for many of
these schools.*'
Professor Griggs of Stanford considered
the subject of high school training not iv
its relation to university requirements but
as the chief element of education for the
great majority whose graduation sends
them into the world and not into allege.
From this standpoint he believed that
mathematics and Latin should not take
the lead; that the emphasis now should
not l)e in past needs but in present living,
lie further laid down three fundamental
branches as the essentials today of a good
education, namely, training in Knglish,
Knglish literature, history (American and
Knglish), and science from the beginning
to the end of school life—that science
which needs no laboratory other than na
ture itself. He stated also that the student
should be allowed to take that specialty
which would lead to his highest develop
ment.
Professor Slate of Berkeley, the next
speaker, regarded the subject from the
standpoint of the high school's training as
preparation for university work. He also
touched on the point of discussion as to
what length a teacher should be a special
ist. He believed that too much zeal in one
direction occasioned contempt for another.
He also stated it to be his conviction that
every boy and girl should have the oppor
tunity of cultivating power by selecting the
one branch of study which presented the
greatest interest to him; that any subject
properly pursued created power, and pow
er was the qualification looked for in fresh
men.
President Martin Kellogg of the State
university 6poke on elective studies. Many
excellent points were taken by this speak
er. He believed it dangerous to leave the
election of studies in the hands of pumls.
He stated that the question had not been
solved in college work, and therefore be
came a reductio ad ahsurdum when left
to the decision of pupils of Heoondary
schools. Creating specialists early in life
he also deemed unwise, believing furiher
that the so-called developing of individu
ality was frequently another name for a
running along in that line which offered
the least resistance to the pupil.
Oilier conflicting; addresses were made
by Professors T. H. Kirk of San Bernar
dino, Biles of Colton, Jenkins of Stanford
and Sprague, formerly of Wisconsin.
At the afternoon session the remaining
two sections of the report on the high
schools were presented, the topics being
How Many Lines of Work Can High
School Pupils Carry? prepared by Profes
sors C. V. Root, P. W. Kauffman and F. A.
Molyneatix, and What Shall bo the Mode
of Admission to High Schools'.' by Profes
sors F. K. Perham and -lames D. Gra
ham. A discussion, similar in effect to
that of tho morning, followed, in which
Professors living Stringham of Berkeley,
\V. N. Lathrop of Stanford, Hooah of L-is
Angeles. Avery of Rediands, P. W. Kauff
man of Ventura. N. A. Richardson of San-
Bernardino, ('. Y. Hoop of Santa Barbara
anil I>r. Gregory of South Riverside took
part lv brilliant and testy speeches. The
discussion was closed by Professor Per
ham of Santa Ana.
The report was not adopted, but was re
committed by unanimous vote in order
that further investigation might be made,
the reeults to be presented at the next
convention.
The afternoon session closed wiih an ad
dress, Some Crimes Against Children, by
Prof. P. W. Kauffman of Ventura, which
was intensely interesting. All phases of a
boy's life, from the home to the street,
were rehearsed with highly finished huir
or. The paper, moreover, had numerous
point* of instructive value concerniag the
growth of tho child, physically and ment
ally.
At tbe evening session Dr. Martin Kel
logg, president of the I'niversity of South
ern California, delivered an able address
on Tne Cnearned Increment.
President Kellogg'a address was an ear
nest plea lor good, faithful, soulful work
on the part of the teacher, Ho said in
part: Tne little that the teacher can get
in the way of pecuniary recompense is of
little value as an incentive to human effort.
It will merely furnish enough bread and
butter to keep body and soul together for
a brief season. One must have some otlior
aim than the mere comforts of physical
existence. We must live to love and know
and hope for what lies beyond. There are
soulful teachers as there are even soulful
politicians like ihe great Horace Greeley of
, the pa>t generation and come few of the
LOS AXGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNTNTGr, MARCH 27, 1898.
] present time. The teacher who lives for
i the few dollars that he (rets and for the
pension that he hopes for is of little use in
this world, save as a scavenger to remove
so much useless coin from the path of
better peoplo who would be but hindered
by it 3 accumulation. If we progress at all
our progress must be other than physical.
T f our so-called progress is but physical it
it has no excuse for being. When the time
shall come that teachers shall be the real
s»ul r til leaders of the children we shall
have ppople wlto are properly led to* ex
plore the realms of spirit, the realms of
the beings for which all that is exists, and
without which there would be no excuse
for the phenomenon of existence.
At the conclusien of the address of Dr.
Kelletrir. President David Starr Jordan of
Ntantord University delivered an address
on philosophy and science. He said iv
part:
**A truth not yet shown to be truth has
no claim to recognition. Mathematics is
mciaphysics working with precision. In
so far as philosophy la a clear method of
thinking it is of great value to science.
Science is tinding out that the workings of
nature are more complex than was sup
posed* while the forces are more simple, j
Wo seem to know that lead is not trans*
mutable into gold. lielief is but the bal
ance of opinion. The essence of belief ie '
the categorical statement of opinion. I'ure
religion has never formulated a creed. No j
man can follow the religion of another. I
Ke dities are the product of individual ex- |
penance. Tiie primal conception of :
monism, according to Haeckei, ia the exist- |
ence of one primal spirit. Life is an ema- j
nation of carbon with all the chemical :
forces. There should be no natural repul
•ion to monism. The farther people are
removed from knowledge the farther they |
are from monism. We know absolutely
nothing of how non-life becomes life.
There seems to be an unbroken series of
life. If life does now appear without par
entage we know nothing of it.
Is it not better, as Kmerson says, not to
pretend to believe what we do not believe.
Tne word make-believe used by Huxley
might well be substituted for "articles of
faith. To believe without foundation is to
discredit knowledge. Haeckei says:
" Every honest, courageous scientific ;
man shares the same opinion.' 1
This is open to negative evidence as well
Mto positive, The primal motive of sci- j
ence is to regulate the mode of life. Men 1
and nations reap as they have strown. It i
is true that falsehood may sometimes lead ,
to right doing, but for men cured at Den
ver or Lourdet or by patent medicines
some other man is made ill by the same
agencies. Nature has no pardon for igno
rance. The safety of each chain of life
lies in its adaptability to the conditions of
life. With civilized man reason becomes
paramount. The multitudes of civilized
men are still like animals and are gov
erned by instinct. To those who know
how. it is as easy to do great things as to
do anything else. The truths of science
are approximate, not absolute. Power and
effectiveness are dependent upon accu
racy.
Inaccuracy causes decay and destruc
tion. The perverse, the insane and obtuse
are soon eliminated.
Many of the most prominent educators
of the state were present, including: Pres
ident David Starr Jordan, Professor* Earl
Barnes and Edward Griggs and Dr. O. P.
Jenkins of Stanford University, President
Martin Kellogg. Professor Irving String
ham, and Professor Slate of Berkeley,

THE SUPERVISORS
Another School District Organized—Road and
Bridge Hatters
The supervisors spent the afternoon yes
terday out in the Spadra district, looking
after bridge and road matters.
In the afternoon the matter of the form
ation of La Mirada school district came
up. The proposed district is cut off from
the Norwalk district, and there was some
opposition to its formation on the lines pro
posed. After some talk and the modifica
tion of the boundaries, the opposition waa
withdrawn and the petition as modified
Wfrs granted.
The application of Miss B. M.Gohnfori
a restaurant license at Lamunda Park was, J
on motion of Supervisor Woodward, ap- i
proved.
The board decided to visit Long Beach to
inspect the grading of American hill, on
the 30th instant.
On motion of Supervisor Woodward, the
petition for ths formation of the Covina
school district was granted.
On motion of Supervisor Hanley, the bid
of the Excelsior Bridge company to repair
the Spadra bridge for $210.80 was ac
cepted, and Supervisor Woodward was in
structed to have the work done.

INTERESTING OIL FIGURES
SOMtTHINO DEFINITE AS TO THE SUPPLY
OF PETROLEUM ON HAND
Not to Etcead 100,000 Barrels H:ld in This
Cltv-What May be Expected ar. Regards
Price* — A Great Reduction in Supply
D.irin? the Month
As has heretofore been stated, tho con- |
i dltions just now governing the price of I
I petroleum in this slate, and especially the ■
j local field, are somewhat anomalous. Pro
! dttcers will not sell at present quotations,
| and buyers are also holding oil', thinking
j that tne well owners have overreached
themselves, and that the prices, Instead of
! going up, wdl drop as soon as ihe vac int
tankage has been filled aud there is no
place to store the oil. In view of this fact
the following data will be found of interest
to both parties, and the figures are approx
imately correct. By them it will be seen
that, so far from filling up, the tanks ere
constantly being depleted of their sur
plus, and that, taking the consumption
into account, not over 800 barrel a per
j day are now available as a source of
| supply for points outside the southern end
j of the slate.
Tne toi.it tankage capacity in tho oil
I field proper, not including the large tanks
j situated m various parts of the ciiy. but
only those at the wells, is some 80,000
> barrels. On or about the Hist of February
I there waa held in them nearly 70,000
barrels of oil. At tho present tune theso
same vats contain not to exceed 37,500
barrels. ibis shows a diminution of
nearly one-half during a period of a little
over a mouth. .Southern California now
consumes some 1800 barrels of petroleum
per day, while the total product of all the
wells iv the field runs from 2500 to 2000
barrels. Thus it will lie seen that but 800
barrels left per diem to supply all out
side demands.
Now, as to the total supply in all hands
of petrolouin available lor market. The
Standard Oil company has two tanks, one
of 10,000 and the other of 40.000 barrels
capacity. The smaller of these is full, but
only from 5000 to (1000 barrels have as
yet accumulated in the larger. The oil
exchange has three small talks on Buena
Vista street which are now full, holding
3700 barrels in all. From 25,000 to 26,
--000 are held in storage by the Union <hi
company, while the Lacy interests, the
Puente company, the Producers' Oil com
pany, which includes the Doueney and
Cotinou supply, and smaller holders will
bring the total amount in nil hands to
about 100,000 barrels, divided as follows:
On hand in oil field, 37,5001 Standard,
16,000; exchange. 3700; I'niou Oil
company, 26.000, and the balance, some
16,000 or 17,000 barrels, divided as above
stated.
From these figures it will readily be
seen that, so far from there being any hepe
of oil dropping just at present, all indica
tions point to a decitled advance in tiie im
mediate future. The ooard of directors of
tiie oil exchange meet next Monday, and
il will cause little surprise to see the price
Bet at 00 cents at that meeting. Offers
were made in plenty in the bold yesterday
of 65 cents at the wells, but they met with
no response. The Standard still adhere to
55 cents as the price they will pay for pe
troleum and as a consequence run abso
lutely no oil into their tanks. No local
selling quotations are made and with them
everything is at a standstill. Their only
market is in San Francisco and they are
holding on to. what they now have, waiting
for the price to touch $1.30 in the latter
city, at whicli figure lliey may decide to let
some of it go.
No rates would bo given by the Union ' lil
company, but they slated that very few
sales were being made at less than 80
cents f.o.b. The report, as staled yester
day exclusively by Tin-. HERALD, of a l.irgo
operator having been severely pinched by
the recent rise in price has been definitely
confirmed, one large low-priced contract
having been repudiated by him. Should a
legal enforcement of several outstanding
contracts be enforced it could hardly fail
to seriously emoarrass him or force him to
the wall.
Dispatches received from San Francisco
report that the bark Enoch Talbot, now
unloading oil there, is seriously damaged,
and may have to go ou the dry dock for re
! pairs before she can again essay another
I trip. Allot' her cargo has been sold and
: every effort will be made to return her to
I the south for another cargo as soon as pos-
I Dible.

the Books
Joaquin Miller, tho "poet of the Sierras,"' j
delivered hia famous lecture, Lessons Not j
in the Books, at Y. M. ('. A. hall iast even- ,
ing before a large and appreciative au
dience. .Mr. Miller is one of tho most :
entertaining lecturers before tho public
today. He is thoroughly original, and has
a way of putting his subject before his ;
hearers that is both intercs ing and iv- :
struciive. In his talk last evening iio spoke
of the lessons of the rose, the birds and the ,
light. He drew largely on his experience
in Paris, Homo and London, and showed in
the study of nature the immortality of tho '
soul. Tiie most striking lessons, lie said, j
were that money costs too much, true dig- j
nity is humility, cleanliness is next in god
liness and popularity is mediocrity. In !
the course of liis lecture the poet recited,
three of his own poems, Peter Cooper, A.
T. Stewart aud The Song of the Dove.
Mr. Miller lias received a telegraphic or
der from a San Francisco paper for an ar
ticle on his impressions of Los Angeles as I
compared with Oakland.
From Los Angeles Mr. Miller goes to
Fresno, after which ho will return lo the
Sierras.
RAN DOWN THE HILL
Runaway Horse Creates Consternation on ;
Second, Near B-oadwav
A roost exciting and dangerous runaway
took place shortly after 2 oclock yesterday
afternoon in the heart of tho city, and it
was only by the biggest kind of luck that;
no one was injured. One of too delivery
wagons of the Boston dry goods store was
standing in the rear of that establishment,
on Hill sheet. Becoming frightened ut
something, the horse attached suddenly
started out on Hill street and turned the
corner of Second at a two-minute gait.
The wagon box was left at this point, anil
down tho hill the now infuriated animal
dashed, dragging after him the running
gear of the vehicle. At Second and Broad- i
way a man rushed out from the sidewalk .

and threw an overcoat at the horse's head,
causing him to swerve and knoc't off one
of the front wheels against the curb.
Nearly opposite the police station at the
time was a light buggy containing James
Enever and little son of Pico Heights.
Tbey were driving toward Spring street,
when the warning shouts caused them to
look behind them.
Seeing the runaway coming, Enever at
tempted to turn In to tlte curb. Before
this maneuver could be executed the run
away overtook them and made an en
deavor to pass between them and the side
walk. With a crash the wheels struck the
buggy as lather and son jumped to save
themselves.
The horse slipped on- the sidewalk and
j was caught, being held by the wrecked
| running gear, winch had turned on its side
I and partially mounted Enever's rig. The
! latter was struck In the side by one of the
| wheels, but his little eon escaped with a
j severe scare. All that was left of the dry
; goods wagon was pieces, the horse having
■ only a cut on ono leg as damage. Enever a
was somewhat shaken up and marred,
and he, thankful at his narrow escape, got
In and drove off.
