The various aspects ot the matter are being investigated by directors with the view of presenting the subject to the board at an early date.

The argument Is advanced by those who favor the project that these children who only suffer the lack of the sense of hearing should be given opportunity for the "special training which their cases demand. A scientific system is employed, that of lip movement, by which the deaf child can readily be taught. It is this method which is being used for the class now being handled here. This success is the mainspring of the movement which those Interested have started toward the establishment of a class of such afflicted children In connection with the work of the public schools. Because of their affliction the children could not be given the training of the public schools and they were not eligible for admission into the State Institute for the Deaf and Dumb and Blind, a3 they could articulate.

The parents were extremely anxious that their offspring should be given an education and the result was the formation of the class which has been in successful operation for some time. The class numbers seven pupils, all of whom are afflicted with total deafness, but are otherwise possessed of their natural faculties. The parents secured permission from the Board of Education to use the room which was not In service. There these children were assembled and they have been educated under the direction of an expert teacher, at the expense of the parents. The Board of Education has under consideration a project to establish a class in the public school for the training of deaf children.

The suggestion has been made to several directors, who have the matter under consideration. It is the result of work which is now being done with a class of deaf pupils under private instruction at a room in the Oakland High School building.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway. Aug. 1. Miss Elizabeth Phillips Hughes, the noted English advocate of coeducation, visited Oakland and Berkeley to-day. Miss Hughes was for sixteen years principal of the Teachers' College in Cambridge, an institution where women desiring to lsecome teachers may take an ex-post graduate course, but was compelled to resign on account of ill health, and is now traveling through the States en route to Japan, to which country she is going to study educational conditions.

The British Government has commissioned Miss Hughes to write an official report along the lines of her observations in Japan. Mrs. Emma Shatter Howard accompanied Miss Hughes on a tour of inspection of the University grounds and buildings yesterday, and this morning the distinguished visitor was present at Dr. Russell's lecture on coeducation in the Hall of Philosophy. Miss Hughes was requested to address the assembly, and as she and Dr.

Russell differ- somewhat In their views of eaual education, her. remarks were full of interest. Aliss Hughes- said that women should be on the governing boards of all colleges, in order that the curriculum might be broadened and the needs of women be understood and met. She also said that we were behind the times In that respect in this that in Wales and England on all such boards, where i all' else was equal, women were MisH Hughes waa very much interested in Mrs. Hearst's house for home Industries, which she says is the only institution of the kind in the world.

The eminent educationist is a warm advocate of State universities, and had nothing but nraise for the University of California.

Miss Husrhpss was entertained at luncheon by Miss McClees.

"We as teachers must take hold of this question and put our profession where it belongs. We must fight agatnat incompetent teaching as malpractice in fought against in surgery. Teachers of the future must be more fitted for the work professionally and scholastically." Professor Ewald Flugel of Stanford addressed the meeting on the "Humor of Chaucer." Professor T. R. Bacon, dean of the summer session, presided and said farewell to the summer students.

"On the part of many teachers there is a lack of ability to do the work we are expected to do. We are not as a. class fitted to do the work. We know it. but we must confess that we would rather it go no further than these four walls.

We as teachers have many. faults. We haven't sufficient command of the Instruments used in our schools: we don't know enough of the subjects we are teaching. We take up the work the day after we auit being scholars. "We teachers as a class are the most bigoted and narrow-minded set of, people of which I know who are engaged In anything like a profession.

We spend our lives always looking down. 'The lawyer finds himself against men his equal and many times his superior and his wits are being constantly sharpened. He is being constantly subjected to criticism, but It broadens him and lengthens him and deepens him. The business man. the physician and the minister find themselves in very much the same position.

The teacher in the country all alone day after day with only little children becomes narrower and narrower. It is a life hard, to bear because of a lack of association to inspire. It Is very much the same In the cities, especially where teachers are specialists in certain subjects. The rut is worn deeper and deeper every day and under the circumstances I wonder that one ever gets out of it.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call. Thp Superintendent 'Sand the Directors feel hopeful that the warfare which has been waged at Claremont will be stilled.

When that school was operated on the district plan the two factions fought about every detail of the school's administration. The teacher was the center of the trouble. In addition to her difficulties of administration she was compelled to board around among the neighbors, the school being too remote from the thickly settled residence districts to permit her to travel to and fro daily. It was accounted a hard school. That is why the Directors dodgred the issue.

But this did not provide for Miss Bliss, who was entitled to draw salary, although every class in the department had been filled. Monday the rush of pupils began. It swelled the records of the Oakland School Dppartment as never -before. Tuesday and "Wednesday saw little diminution in the applicants for seats. By Wednesday the Superintendent saw his way clear.

He ordered the formation of a new class at the Lafayette School and Miss Bliss was appointed to handle the pupils. So everybody is content and the board is relieved of its embarrassing predicament. Miss Grace E. Bliss 1 Is the instructor In question. She had been teacher at the Claremont School, recently annexed to the Oakland department.
