Dec. 4. — The board of education has withdrawn the ban on the American game of football in the public schools. This action was taken after City Superintendent of Schools J. "W. McClymonds had reported to the board that under the revised rules the game had become one fr<->m which former objectionable features had been elimi nated. The board will recommend to the academic athletic league that um pires and referees be chosen from graduates of Oakland schools. The Oakland high school has been permitted to play under the new rules for the purpose of convincing the board and the superintendent that the game could be played without serious injury to the youths. Eight new classes have been opened in the Longfellow school, which was recently completed. A ninth class will be organized soon ard the tenth and last room In the building 13 expected to be occupied in the near future. According to School Director Charles H. Redington the cost of supervision of construction work on the new Prescott school is greater at present than the material and labor which are being used on the structure, so slowly Is the work moving. Redington facetious ly declared that at the present rate of progress 1910 would pass out before the building was completed. The board has ordered the purchase of forges and equipment for the in stallation of an iron working shop Jij the manual training and • commercial high school.

Dec 4.— Dr. Edward Robeson Taylor, mayor of San Francisco, was given a most enthuslsatlc reception by the under graduates of Stanford university when he appeared upon the varsity, rostrum this morning at the big assembly which winds up functions of this na ture/for the semester. His remarks, purely In the nature of advice to stu dents interspersed with a few touches from the metropolis, were cheered to an echo. He was introduced to the stu dents by acting president J. M. StlU man as a fair example of the scholar who enters politics. Dr. Taylor said In part: "The unlversfly Is the means to the end. If you consider knowledge gained here as an end, then It Is all wrong and you might as well have stayed home. The vanity of knowledge la just ! as bad as the vanity of clothes and riches and other kinds of vanity. If you think you have gained some knowledge here do not look down upon those who have not had the same ad vantages. You do not come here to pick up scraps of knowledge. You come because the university creates the best environment, which should draw out the best that Is In you. You must build a moral foundation,, or else you are worse than the structure built on a sand foundation. That man la not so much fle^h and bone, muscle and tis sue, but a spirit and an Immortal spirit, is the great Idea, and if you have failed to grasp this principle you have failed to grasp the great fundamental of education." V; Dr. Taylor touched on the situation in San Francisco In illustrating a point in his address. "Everything must be cared for." said he. "Everything will go to rack and ruin unless watched. In San Fran cisco It has been much this way In the past and we hope in the future it will be different. For Instance the streets should be Inspected. If not daily or weekly, at least monthly. Things should not be as they have been. We have laid new streets, and then left them and they have gone to ruin for want of attention. This is an ex ample of what is to be corrected and is applicable to you collegians. If you do I not watch yourselves and govern your habits, the same as we must everything else, you will come to ruin. , . "Your knowledge gained here should make you better men and women. If your . knowledge does not. then It Is all rubbish; rubbish I say. There are plenty of people of knowledge serving terms in penitentiaries. "Science has become a fetish. ". "We worship it as a god and look for it to deliver us from all evils. I do not believe It will in all senses of the word, but It does help to make the environ ment better. It rids the country of plagues and famines." Dr. Taylor touched upon the labor situation. "This Is the age of the com mon peopled* he said. "Never before has the common man come so promi nently to the fore. You college men must meet him, and you should Judge him by his dealings. A man who is true to himself, to his state and his city— one' who Is kind and loving to his family and kind and considerate of his fellow men — Is my example of a real man. I do not care a whit whether or not he Is a university man of whether he doesn't even know his alphabet, he Is a real man Just the same." The gathering of students cheered Dr. Taylor to an echo upon the com pletion of his address. TO REPEAT SUFFRAGE DEBATE BERKELEY, Dec 4. — Sayre Macnell and E. M.

Dec 4. — The first step toward the separation of the men stu dents* from the women students* organ izations at the university was taken this afternoon at the regular semi annual meeting of the associated stu dents, when John Tyssowski Introduced an amendment to prohibit the coeds from membership in the men's student body. Absence of coeds from the meet ing prevented a Cght being made on the question by the leaders opposed to the movement, which, they assert, means to ostracize them. When th« motion was carried President Burks announced that the present semester was too ivar a close for a vote on the question. Ha said that the proposed amendment would be considered during the spring term. The action of the n\sn students at th» meeting was a surprise to the women, who, although they . first started th« agitation for the separation of the men's from the women's student bodies. asked that the matter be settled on t»rms equal for both sexes. They said that the amendment proposed by Tys sowski would be defeated at the polls. Should the amendment of the men ba carried at the polls entire control of student activities will be in the hands of the nvsn to the exclusion of the women. The proposed amendment ex cluding the women students from mem bership in the associated student body places them In the position of outsiders who have no port in the control of all the affairs of th.» students. Under existing rules only a man is eligible for the position of president of the student body. The coeds, should the new rule be adopted, will be dis franchised from voting for the pres ident. It is likely that a mass meeting of the women students will be held In a few days to consider ways and mean». for thwarting the purpose of the men.i Miss Annie Biddle will call the meeting* WAXT FIRS ENGINE OAKLAND, Djsc 4.— The Alcatraz Im provement club has adopted a resolu tion urging the city to install a combi nation hook and ladder and chemical fire engine apparatus at Sixty-second and Colby streets.
