SOME NEEDED REFORMS
REMARKS BY MEMBERS OF TH3
BOABD OF EDUCATION
They Tell the Teachers Where Im
provements' Could Be Made in
the Present School System
The Los Angelea County Teachers' asso
ciation met yesterday morning In the audi
ence room of the high school, Prof. Mil
lard ln the chair. The meeting was ad
dressed by several members of the board
of education on the general subject, "Re
forms ln Electing and Retaining Teach
ers."
The president of the board, Charles Cas
sat Davis, was the first speaker of the
morning. Mr. Davis took the position that
the employment of teachers should be in
the hands of the superintendent of schools,
who should be held responsible for the kind
of teachers employed. At present many
teachers obtain their positions by personal
Influence, and retain them ln the same
way; therefore, the best talent is not al
ways Becured. lie would like to see tbe
profession of teacher the highest ln the
community, and the result would be to the
betterment of the whole city.
N. P. Conrey, the next speaker, thought
our present system not so far wrong. We
have a good source of supply to draw upon
for our teachers—American homes and
training schools. In which the Instructors
are men and women lltted for their work.
There aro degrees of natural talent and
differences In training. The arbitrary au
thority ln employing teachers rests In the
board of education; the city superintend
ent has no voice In the selection. The board
Of education ls elected from the communi
ty,and two years, (he time for which the
members are elected, ls not adequate to
give any man a knowledge of what he is
called upon to perform. This can be
changed only by a change ln the law, and
that cannot be done ln a year. A proposed
chango In the law contemplates selecting
members on a scientific 'and educational
basis, and drawing a fixed and defined line
between the educational and business de
partments of the board. Put the employ
ing power ln the hands of the superintend
ent and hold him responsible. The re
sponsibility such a position would carry
with It would Impress any man with the
trust. The speaker would raise the stand
ard of the profession and make It more dif
ficult for mediocre teachers to obtain posi
tions. The certificate must not only certify
that the person ls qualified to teach, but
must specify his or her particular endow
ment for the profession.
Mr. Braly, the next member to address
the meeting, said he realized as never be
fore how thoroughly the teacher holds ln
his or her hands tho training of the men
and women of the future. Children get
more from the teacher than they do from
books, therefore It ls Important that the
teacher should be a person of high char
acter. We will never have teachers better
selected until we have a better selecting
power. We will never have a stable, effi
cient school system until we have a differ
ent method of selecting trustees. Two
years is too short a time for the board
to hold office; It requires a year at least for
them to learn how to handle the teaching
force. The board should not consist of
more than Aye members, and hold office
not less than six years, and have rota
tion so arranged that at least three of the
board should have three years' experience.
They should be appointed, not elected, by
the superior Judges of the county; we
might then have men fitted for their great
work, the best curriculum of study and the
beet teachers. The board of education
would then be taken out of politics. The
teachers' tenure of office should be gov
erned by the merit of their work, and they
should be retained for life, until they re
sign or are dismissed for good cause.
Mr. Poor concurred in tha opinions of
the preceding member that there should
be reform in the method of selecting the
board of education and that the schools
should be taken out of politics. To insure
the public the best service, the board
shopld be paid a salary sufficient to in
duce capable men to accept tho responsi
bility and the office should be appointive.
They should not all go Into nor out of
office at once. The teacher would then be
assured of a position without the aid of
Influence. The speaker made the rather
broad statement that there was no teacher
before him who had not received her posi
tion through Influence.
Professor Foshay, who opened the dis
cussion that followed, hastened to refute
the statement. He said many excellent
teachers he knew, who never had any one
speak In their behalf, were holding posi
tions on their own merits. It is a serious
mistake, ho thought, for the board of ed
ucation to all be elected at the same time.
We should have teachers who see that the
child is their first consideration.
Professor Hutton of the normal school,
Professor Graham of Pasadena and others
participated ln the discussion.
INSURANCE AND ESCAPES
finance Committee Figuring oa Pos-
sible Fires
No business was transacted at yester
day's meeting of the council finance com
mittee, although the members met and
discussed several subjects before them for
action. The question of putting fire es
capes on the city hall building at an esti
mated expense of $630 came up for some
discussion. It was evident from the re
marks of the committeemen that Superin
tendent Stratton had alarmed them with
his big estimate of cost. Mr. Grlder was
opposed to such a large expenditure and
Mr. Toll agreed that the subject needed to
be looked Into carefully. The matter was
pigeonholed for future action.
About $54,000 Insurance on city property
/will expire during the early part of April,
and thero was some discussion of the sub
ject. There are between fifteen and twen
ty insurance agents after the business.
There ls understood to bo little or no dif
ference ln rates, which are uniformly high
er than they were when the present Insur
ance was assumed. It is a question with
the councllmen whether to divide the busi
ness up so as to give ten or a dozen reliable
firms their proportionate share of the In
surance or to give It to a few. Settlement
of the matter was laid over one week.
Pumping Cables
I* Bchwarzondall has petitioned the
council to be permitted to maintain and
operate a pumping cable across
West State street; also another

Croswell has applied to be allowed to oper
ate a cable across Bdgeware road to the
well of the Combination Oil company, and
also for two cables across Omaha street
Q. W. Tutibs wants permission to stretch

to help take care of her and his three chil
dren. Wilson drives an oil wagon for Cur
iey, and claims that he gives a portion of

ness. Wilson was allowed to go on his own
recognizance by Justice Owens yesterday,
who set his case for trial tomorrow morn
ing at 11 oclock.
Wlngate Lindsay was before Justice
Owens yesterday for examination on a
charge of embezzlement. It was alleged
that Wlngate had disposed of a horse and
wagon which he had taken from a carpen
ter to sell. The defendant showed that he
had paid $10 on account, and it was held
that this made the transaction a running
account and ht had not ln consequence
been guilty of embezzlememt. The com
plaint was dismissed and the defendant
discharged.
J. W. Hyland will be tried for battery
before Justice Morrison on Tuesday morn
ing at 9:30 oclock. Hyland is alleged to

Munn in the solar plexls last week and
knocked him out so that an officer thought
him drunk and arrested him. Munn was
discharged by the court when he told his
story.
RIVERSIDE'S MURDER MYSTERY
The Victim May Have Been Bernardo
Cota of El Cajon
The murder at Riverside on the Bth of
December last, when the victim's body was
found ln the river bottom a few miles
southwest of the city, remains an apparent
ly impenetrable mystery so far as the Iden
tity of the murdered man goes, though
there ls just a chance that it will turn out
to be Bernardo Cota of El Cajon. TTnder-
Sherlff Dixon of Riverside yesterday re
ceived a letter from a friend at El Cajon,
who had seen a photograph of the dead
man, saying that It was exactly like Cota,
who had not been seen for some time.
Cota left that section December Ist to
go to Klondike. He had worked! ln the Ju
lian mines and also on ranches about El
Cajon. and the writer ls positive that it
was he that was murdered. When Cola
left El Cajon he had a large sum of money
and It Is believed by his friends there that
he was followed by some one who knew of
the fact and was killed for his gold. The
body was found on December Bth, and Cota
would have had time to reach the
point where the corpse was found. Officers
here are of the opinion that a true Identifi
cation haß been reached. Further Investi
gation will be made with a view of estab
lishing the Identity beyond a doubt.
Sheriff Dixon does not think the two
men arrested by Sheriff Ballou of San Luis
Obispo are the criminals, for several rea
sons, but he has an Idea that they may be
the men who robbed the Chlno postofflce
on December 4th.
WILL DOUBLE ITS CAPITAL
Los Angeles Electric Company May
Enlarge Its Plant
A preliminary meeting of tho board of
directors of the Los Angeles Electric com
pany, was held last week, at which the ad
visability of Increasing the present capital
stock of the company from (300,000 to $600,
--000 was discussed. It was decided to call
a meeting of stockholders on the 18th of
May, at which time the proposition will
be submitted.
Secretary Burns, in the absence of Pres
ident Cllne, stated that the increase was
deemed advisable for the purpose of mak
ing additional Improvements in the plant
and to meet the expense of laying under
ground conduits.
He further stated that the recent report
which appeared ln a local evening paper,
Intimating that a portion of the great in
crease of capital might be applied in ef
fecting a consolidation with the San
Gabriel Electric company, was without
ground and unauthorized by his company.
As to the laying of conduits, the com
pany has been considering plans of the
various underground systems submitted
to them, but up to the present.time had
come to no decision as to when the work
would commence, but that presumably
definite action would be taken at the forth
coming meeting.
