Friends and acquaintances are Invited to attend. Bald Mr. Terman, and the children have been taken out of their natural environment This has had the effect of producing a great many bodily de fects. It is a noticeable fact that the per cent of these defects increases as they pass up through the grades in the schools. Eye trouble is one of the most prevalent.

Ten per cent of all stu dents should wear glasses. Curvature of the Bpine is largely caused by imperfections in the desks The aim of the school should be to produce those conditions which avoid this fault rather than to in troduce corrective measures. This was followed by another solo by Mrs. Fette. Then came a reading by Miss Cool idge from "Merely Mary Ann," which was one of the best numbers given.

Then came the report of the com mittee on resolutions; following that adjournment ment of Mr. Stone to this state board! will not interfere with his residence here or with any plans in that to-spect. The new board will have supreme power over the schools, both city and county; will pass upon all textbooks published by the state; will make and enforce rules and regulations govern ing city and county boards of education, and will fix rules for the employment of teachers; will pass on teachers' certificates and will preside at-hearings where charges are brought. Like other bodies created during the administration of Governor Johnson it will have authority not only to advise reforms but to put reforms into effect. The members will each receive $15 per diem during service and all traveV Ing expenses, etc.

Mr. Stone has always taken a keen interest in educational subjects and the work that nwaits him in this new and important field will doubtless prove quite congenial to him.

Never throw burning matches, cigarettes, cigars or pipe ashes carelessly away.

They are almost sure to start a fire if they fail Into dry grass or rubbish. Never start a fire In the woods among the leaves, dry wood or against a log or tree, whether dead or alive.

Johnson has tendered to former Mayor George V. Stone and Mr. Stone has accepted appointment as a member of the new state board of education authorized by act of the last legislature. This Is one of the most Important bodies created by the present state administration and -supplants altogether the state board of education as at present conducted. The present state superintendent of public Instruction, Edward Hyatt, becomes the secretary and executive officer of the new board.

It will meet at Sacramento and as often as may be necessary, but certainly as often as once a month, nnd will comprise seven members. Its scope will be much wider than that of the present board of education and Indeed will extend over the schools of the entire state, excepting alone the universities. It will have something to say about the management of all city and county schools In fact, of every school which draws state support to any extent for its pupils. The appointment of Mr. Stone as member of the new state hoard came wholly unsolicited, nnd may bo taken as a mark of appreciation from Governor Johnson of Mr.

Stone, not only as an Individual but as a working force in the progressive ranks. Mr. Stone was one of tho delegates to the memorable Chicago convention and was the official representative of the progressive party in Santa Cruz county. It Is understood that the nppolnt- SURF IS WARM. Manager Wilson of the Casino an nounced tills afternoon tho surf was Uio wannest It has been In two years fiG degrees.

HOLLISTER JAIL ALL SAME PAPER FOR THIS MAN HOLLISTER, Aug. 29. Love hasn't anything on Joe Silva when it comes to laughing at locksmiths, for last night the young Gilroyun held here on the charge of burglary proceeded to walk right through two locked and barred doors of the county jail, and when he reached the outside kept right on going, says the Free Lance. In fact, he Is probably travelling yet as no clue has been discovered as to his whereabouts by Sheriff Croxon and Jailor Prescott, who searched for him all day. Silva was arrested a short time ago by Constable Zanetta at San Juan, and charged with burglarizing one of the rooms at the Hotel Hartmann.

Last night at 6 o'clock Silva was carefully locked In the inner room of the jail, whllo the outer doors were also locked and barred. This morn Ing the jailor found both doors standing wide open and the prisoner gone, leaving not a single clue to indicate the direction of his flight. He had pushed an arm through the steel lat ticework and with a piece or wire, a nail or some such aid, had picked the lock and turned the heavy bar that locks the door. The outer doors were the next obstacle; these were held In place by one bar running down Into a slot in the stone sill, while the other runs up into a similar slot at the top of the door. When the door is closed a lever on the outside is pulled and the ends of the bars shot Into the slots.

The lever is then locked Into place and the door is barred. As the outer doors are solid, and the lock on the outside, Silva was unable to manipulate the lock, so he proceeded to pry the two bars off the inside of the door. How he did this is not known as a strong "jimmy" must have been used, and it is not improbable that he obtained some assistance from the outside. The county teachers' institute concluded its sessions at Mount Hernion this morning and nearly all of the teachers returned to their homes. Resolutions of appreciation and thanks were passed to the Mount Hermon association for courtesies extended and to th eindivlduals who assisted in the success of the various sessions.

Special thanks were extended County Superintendent Price for the high quality of the lectures and entertainments provided. The committee recommended that all the schools of Santa Cruz county, through the teachers, urge the formation of parent-teachers' clubs so that through co-operation of the parents may be brought about better conditions In suburban Bchool buildings and grounds. The committee expressed its approval of the library plans as adopted by the county authorities and recommended that teachers as far as possible secure the benefit of these plaiiB for the schools and homes of the county. The following resolutions on the death of a pioneer educator of statewide fame were passed: "Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God In His infinite wisdom to call the last rollcall for our beloved and esteemed educator, John Sweet, there fore be it "Resolved, That in the passing away of John Sweet we mourn the loss of the man, the educator, to whom the schools and the teaching profession of today are indebted for having laid tho foundation of much of the Bplendld educational system of California. "Resolved, That the teachers of Snnta Cruz county recognize his splendid work and extend to the bereaved family their Bincere sympathy.

"Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of this Institute and a copy be sent to teh bereaved family. "Respectfully submitted, "STELLA FINKELDKY, "Chairman." MPORTANT TOPICS AT LAST SESSION The Institute opened this morning for the final session. Dr. Terman of Stanford university spoke to the high school section on the subject of sex hygiene. Instruction on this subject, he said, heretofore has largely been left to chance, the home In some Instances giving very meager instruction.

The time has come, said the speaker, when the school must do something definite along this line. It Is the opinion of most educators I hat this work may be done most successfully by the regular teachers rather than by special teachers employed for the purpose. The difficulties to be overcome are: First, general Ignorance on the subject; second, the pedagogy of the subject is different from that of others. In most subjects, the object of the instruction Is to arouse a keen Interest on the part of the pupil while Instruction in sex hygiene the opposite Is aimed at; third, the instruction must come at a time In the child's life when he Is exactly ready to receive it; fourth, the difficulty of giving this Instruction to the masses of children. The Instruction should be both general and specific.

The foundation for the general instruction can be given as nature study and biology. Dr. Terman believes that the time is not far distant when instruction will be given to young people who are about to marry, and also a course will be given to girls to prepare them for motherhood. Two excellent books along this line are "Sexual Life of the Child," by Moll, and a series of books written by Lowrey. The general session was held at 9 o'clock.

It opened with singing under the direction of Professor Edson, followed by a solo by Mrs. C. E. Fette. Dr.

Terman then addressed the teachers on the topic, "Some Evils of School Life and How to Avoid Them."
