THE KFR^NGISGO CALL, TUESDAY, ?APRIL" 5, 1910
COUNTY TO PROVIDE
TECHNICAL TRAINING
Girls Will Be Taught Household
Duties and Boys Some
Useful Trade
OAKLAND, April 4. — Manual training
is to be extended to the country
schools. This announcement was made
today by County Superintendent of
Schools Frick. Heretofore the
public schools in the cities were the
only- ones to have manual training
annexed to the regular, courses, but
under the plan of Superintendent Frick
the country schools will also be pro
vided with this accessory. ;
Funds for the new project, it is
believed, will be provided by the board
of supervisors. In speaking of the pro
posed change. Superintendent Frick
said:
"The law providing that the board of
supervisors shall have power to levy a
special tax for the maintenance ,of
schools Is sufficiently broad to cover the
raising of funds for a department of
manual training. The system will first
be installed in the '• larger country
schools and gradually extended to the
smaller ones. .
"I have had this change under consid
eration for some time, and am now
ready to submit the matter to the board
of supervisors. \u25a0 •
'"The innovation will appeal strongly
to the community/ - Girls will be taught
to sew, crochet, cook, and do house
work, while the boys will learn the
rudiments of useful trades. Gardening
and agriculture will also form a part of
the course."

AGED COUPLE LIVE
IN "GARDEN. OF EDEN"
Brother of Late Justice Brewer
Pioneer Settler
[Special Dispatch to The Calt]
ABERDEEN/ Wash., April 4.— "ln a
coay log cabin on the banks of the Co
lumbia lake, the headwaters of the Co
lumbia river," says State Senator Alex
ander Poison of Hoquiam, "where the
Rocky mountains join the Selkirks, live
an aged couple, the old man being a
: brother of Justice Brewer, who died
suddenly at .Washington.
"With this big mountain towering
above the valley lp which the couple
live, they have had their home, in a
garden of Eden, for more than 60 years.
In the pioneer days when both were
young Mr. and Mrs. Brewer journeyed
thousands of miles from the east to
this little Eldorado, where they set
tled. The journey was like all those
of all the frontier pioneer settlers. Aft
er many weeks of travel they reached
Columbia lake.
"Far up the mountain side the water
issuing from the hillsides has worn
the limestone until it has formed ter
races. Half way up the mountain there
is a natural bathtub fed from a- warm
spring, the temperature being just
right for bathing. The valley has two
mineral springs, one hot enough to
cook with and the other cold as Ice.
"I spent several days in this re
gion," said Senator Poison, "met this
wonderfully preserved and beautiful
old couple and took dinner with them.
I asked the old man his name and he
said 'My name is Brewer.' j
brother of the chief justice?" I
inquired.
MHis answer was 'Yes, an^ older
brother of the justice.'"

JOHNSON'S BIPLANE
PLUNGES INTO BAY
Aviator Gets Ducking When En»
gine Stops in Midflight
Over' Water
ALAMEDA, April 4.— Millionaire Av
iator Frank H. Johnson, after proving
for three days that th« Curtiss biplane
is a good flying machine and that he is
well able to handle it, learned thl3 aft
ernoon that the contrivance could swim.
In making a wide turn over the bay off
tho south - end of Hawthorne street
something went wrong with the bi
plane, apparently, and it dived into
eight feet of water
Johnson was seen swimming near the
wrecked aeroplane. . After clinging to
the top plane of the machine, which
showed above the water, the aviator
rested for a few moments, and then
struck out for the shore. He had but a
short distance to swim when he was
able to touch bottom and then waded
for nearly a quarter of a mile to the
beach. He said* that he had sustained
no injuries. -'V^ -\
BIPLANE IS RESCUED
The wrecked flying machine was
towed in close to the shore and dragged
to the mechanician's tent in Neptune
gardens. .The rear portion of the bi
plane was smashed and twisted. Ex
perts who examined the machine care
fully were of the opinion that John
son's quick descent into the bay was
due to the engine stopping. Had John
son been flying over the beach he said
that no damage would have resulted, as
he would have been able to glide down
when the driving power failed. He did
this several times yesterday and Sat
urday while in flight when the engine
of the biplane stopped. Outside of the
damage done the rear of the machine
the biplane was found to be intact.
Prior to the flight which ended in
the water, Johnson had flown from the
Neptune gardens and made a clever
turn off the Encinal yacht club house
and flew back to the starting point.
Johnson had planned to make a double
turn in the flight that ended disas
trously and with this purpose in view
flew out some distance over the bay.
The wealthy b'rdman made five ex
cellent straightaway flights before he
accomplished the single turn flight and
tried the double turn.
MAKES LIGHT OP ACCIDEXT
Johnson made light of his plunge
into the bay with his $S,OOO biplane.
"I was going along nicely and was
laying my course to make the first
turn of a double turn flight when some
thing went wrong. I thought at first
that it was a split in one of the blades
of the propeller. An examination of
the machine showed that this was not
the case. It is possible that some
thing went wrong with the engine and
caused it to stop. Had I not been over
the water I could have glided safely
to the beach. The moment the biplane
struck the water I was pitched head
foremost.. The damage to the machine
is trivial and the accident shows that
while a Curtiss biplane will not swim
it will withstand a collision with water
like an ocean going craft." "SVI
"With the disaster to the biplane the
exhibitions of Johnson and the aviation
meet of the chamber of commerce came
to an end. The meeting was to have
closed yesterday, but the chamber of
commerce decided to continue It an
other day in order to permit the school
children to witness the flights of the
birdman free.
