Dr. Jordan, president of Stanford uni versity, said today: The sudden death of Mrs. Stanford has come aa a great shock to nil of us. She has been so brave and strong that we hoped for her return well rested and that her last look on earth might be on her beloved Palo Alto. But It was a Joy to her to have been spnfd so long to have lived to see the work of her husband's life and herself llrmly established. Hers has been a life of most perfect devotion to her own and her husband's Ideals. If In the years we knew her she ever had a selfish feeling no one ever detected It. All her thoughts were of the university and of the way to make it effective for wisdom and righteousness. No one outside the university can understand the difficulties In her way In the final es tablishment of the university and her patient deeds of self-sacrifice can be known only to those who saw them from day to dav. Some dav the world may understand a part of this. It will then know her for! the wisest as wen as tne most generous friend of learning in our time. It will know her as the most loyal and moat devoted of wives, who did always the best that she could do.

March l.-At today's ses sion of the department of superintendents of the national educational convention Wil liam H. Maxwell, superintendent of schools of the city of New York and president of the National Education association, spoke on the topic, "Charter Provisions as Re lated to the Organization of School Sys tems." The speaker said - that the fundamental principle to be borne in mind Is that the state and not the city Is prlmar ly responsi ble for public education. All history shows that when education is not provided -and enforced under the authority of the law il is poorly provided and never enforced. It should be the duty ot the state's educa tional executive officer to see that tha ed ucational laws are enforced. He advocated training schools in large cities and the ap pointment or ' motion of teachers as the result of con. itlve examination. Edward C. Eliot and F. Louis Soldan of St. Louis, Mo., spoke in laudatory terms of tho successful government of the school system of 8'. Louis under Its charter. Louisville waa chosen as the next place of meeting. John W.
