If California had just the right kind of a state school for the education and reformation of stubborn and wayward girls it is not impossible that it would now have enrolled as many as three hundred pupils. It is not improbable that there are as many as that in the state who need to attend such a school. On the occasion of my recent visit to the girls' department of the state school at Whittier there were thirty-seven girls in attendance, and in my opinion that was too many. The present management of the girls' school at Whittier is not especially and preeminently to be blamed for conditions that exist, or for the general want of confidence which the courts, the officers and the people entertain for the school. The school never got off right foot foremost, and it may be doubted if there has ever been a period in its history when it rose fully to the requirements of such a school. No other indictment needs to be filed against the school than that true bill made out by the following record of the terms of service of the twelve principals of the school, the women who have had the welfare of the pupils in their immediate charges: Chloe B. Jones, May 27, 1891, to May 20, 1892. Mrs. S. A. Moors, May 20, 1892, to November 1, 1892. Miss Minnie King, Nov. 1, 1892, to wore out. Either they have left the right woman or they have her when they have found substantial failure has been a two years ago I became that the State of California either go out of the girl re-business or divorce the girl from the boys' at Whittier school, and establish a new at some other place. The entire farm and equities Whittier are needed for the boyhood of California under years of age, or will be need the several counties and city state have awakened to a real value of truant schools venting boys from becoming quent. A more thorough seeding and classification of Whittier needed than can be had under conditions. The work of reforming headed girl is so different from a boy that it is asking too much management that it shall perform functions. I submit to the people of that an experiment that has conducted for fifteen years with ishing satisfactory results conducted long enough. It is try something else. Those who have thoughtfullyured Whittier school for quite a long time found it wanting, but this is not that its failure is total, or that done no good. Many girls take out from Whittier to behave selves reputably thereafter more than half the prisoner that school-for-crime known Quentin prison go out from never to be heard from, No other indictment needs to be filed against the school than that true bill made out by the following record of the terms of service of the twelve principals of the school, the women who have had the welfare of the pupils in their immediate charges: Chloe B. Jones, May 27, 1891, to May 20, 1892. Mrs. S. A. Moors, May 20, 1892, to November 1, 1892. Miss Minnie King, Nov. 1, 1892, to December 1, 1892. Miss Jessie DeWolfe, Dec. 1, 1892, to January 8, 1895. Miss Vesta A. Olmstead, Jan. 8, 1895, to September 1, 1896. Ellen J. Wilson, Sept. 1, 1896, to Nov. 11, 1896. Mrs. M. E. Threlkeld, Nov. 12, 1896, to February 1, 1898. Miss Mary O'Hara, Feb. 1, 1898, to June 1, 1901. Mrs. M. L. Davis, June 9, 1901, to October 15, 1902. Miss Jennie Wall, Nov. 1, 1902, to January 18, 1906. Mrs. Eva Flounders, January 19, 1906, to April 1, 1906. Mrs. Lottie C. Sinnard, April 1, 1906, to October 31, 1906. The thirteenth principal, in a little more than fifteen and one-half years, was installed November 1st of this year and I have not her name. The fitness or unfitness of these twelve women to perform the services for which they were employed is not here in issue. I have not the requisite knowledge of the facts in each case to warrant the bestowal of praise or blame, but I do affirm that there should have been no such history of rotation in the office of principal of the girls' school at Whittier. There is nothing and can be nothing worth while in such a school without continuity of management. The work of formation or reformation of character is a life work, and especially is this true of the reformation of wayward girls. It should be entered upon by a woman, mature in years, in full command of herself, yet with an open and growing mind, who undertakes the work as a devoted service and not as a job. A woman fit to be principal of such a school is worthy of a generous salary, not a measley $70 per month while there are two men in the institution drawing $250 each—none too much either—enough to enable the devoted worker to provide for those who have thoughtfully secured Whittier school for good found it wanting, but this is not that its failure is total, or that done no good. Many girls leave from Whittier to behave selves reputably thereafter more than half the prisoner that school-for-crime known Quentin prison go out from never to be heard from; thereafter. One “jolt” waits for them. All the Whittier school girls go to go home. They can go home a reasonable time if they behave selves and in many cases, so much better equipped to handle the forces of evil. The staining mitment is inflicted without fear the compensating washing out stain by work mete for realization. They are made sorry for the ment rather than for the sin. The faults I find with the school for girls are, in the following: 1. There is no proper segregation merely wayward, the unchaste stubborn, the leaders from the younger from the older and hardened. The buildings are it, but there is in the management realizing sense of the impulse such segregation and classification. 2. There is no adequate training and trades teaching are cooking and sewing to be no cooking or sewing school making an unremitting demise the half dormant intellectual pupil. There should be, be, if the necessity were kept schools for cooking, sewing, dressing and millinery, and to this law should not only permit an be made for all the women ground, but for outside custom as necessary for a full training real things. 3.

A woman fit to be principal of such a school is worthy of a generous salary, not a measley $70 per month while there are two men in the institution drawing $250 each—none too much either—enough to enable the devoted worker to provide for her wants when her work shall have worn her out, as it inevitably will in 15 or 20 years. I should say $1800 a year, and found, for the woman big enough to fill the position. Given the right woman for the place, her will, in the management of the school, should be supreme. Not even her board of trustees should venture to interfere in the management of the school or do more than to advise and aid and so control the purse strings that the institution may not get into financial deep water. And especially there should be no wife of the superintendent of the boys' department holding a perfunctory position of superintendent over the principal of the girls' school, but without any real responsibility or burdensome duty to perform. Happily that condition does not now exist at Whittier. The work of reformation of crooked human characters is one that must be grown into. An apprenticeship in a well ordered institution engaged in similar work would prove helpful, but it can not make up for the want of the requisite personality. On the other hand, the requisite personality can make up for the want of a previous institutional training. It was up to the several boards of trustees, and the superintendents of the larger institution, to find the right woman for the place of superintendent, or principal, of the girls' school at Whittier, and then keep her until she Either they have not found a woman or they have not kept them; they have found her, and a fatal failure has been scored. Years ago I became convinced that the State of California should out of the girl reformation for divorce the girls' departure on the boys' at Whittier state and establish a new institution there place. Theire farm and equipment at here are needed for the delinquent children of California under sixteen age, or will be needed until local counties and cities of the area awakened to a realization of the need of truant schools for preboys from becoming delinquents. More thorough segregationification of Whittier boys are then can be had under existingark of reforming a wrong-girl is so different from that of it is asking too much of one agent that it shall perform both to the people of California experiment that has been conducted fifteen years without furnishing factory results has been long enough. It is time to thinking else. Who have thoughtfully measured the school for girls have wanting, but this is not saying failure is total, or that it has good. Many girls have gone Whittier to behave themoutably thereafter, just as half the prisoners, sent to jail-for-crime known as San Francisco go out from there to be heard from, criminally, state owes it to itself to do something better worth while for the salvage of flotsam and jetsam of domestic storm and stress than has heretofore been done at the girls' school at Whittier. My voice is for a separate state school for wayward girls. Naval Armament Ocean Park, Cal., Nov. 29, '06. EDITOR GAZETTE:—Noticing an article entitled "Anaheim vs. Santa Ana" in regard to a debate between the two high schools on quite an important subjects, viz.: "Shall the United States enlarge its navy?" in which Anaheim came out the victor by a few points, on the negative side of this question, while I sincerely congratulate Anaheim on her victory, I am of opinion that victory was gained by superior oratory and delivery; for Santa Ana high school was on the only side which can be taken by every American citizen. I wish to call the attention of all citizens of Anaheim, and if this should reach any other parts of the United States, California in particular, to the impending visit of the little brown men from across the sea, in a few months, with a fleet of battleships. Of course this is to be only a friendly visit, such as any nation may make, but at the same time every hour's time of that trip will be recorded in FULL, no little detail will be omitted, however trivial, as regards water supply, provisions, fuel, weather conditions, sickness. hospital, and in fact every detail will be exact as regards the transportation of every single man in the whole fleet. This trip will furnish and be a trip of data for the little brown men's rulers who have thoughtfully measured the school for girls have wanting, but this is not saying failure is total, or that it has good. Many girls have gone to Whittier to behave them out loudly thereafter, just as half the prisoners, sent to jail-for-crime known as San Prison go out from there to be heard from, criminally. One "jolt" was enough. Whittier school girls want more. They can go home within a single time if they behave themselves in many cases, perhaps a condition precedent is sufficiency have felt the hand of the shoulder and have not grip of it. It brings them to tears, but that works no radical change in the character of the does not send the pupil out after equipped to battle with evil. The stain of commissions inflicted without supplying insulating washing out of that work mete for repentance. Made sorry for the punishers than for the sin. Uses I find with the Whittier girls are, in the main, the there is no proper segregation morally perverted from the wayward, the unchaste from the leaders from the led, the from the older and more powerful and sewing to be sure, but no or sewing school, nothing unremitting demand upon dormant intellectual life of there should be, and could necessity were keenly felt, cooking, sewing, dressmaking, and to this end the not only permit articles to for all the women en the suit for outside custom so far easy for a full training in doing these is little in the way of in-rain those accomplishments so much in the life of every which contribute so much course this is to be only a friendly visit, such as any nation may make, but at the same time every hour's time of that trip will be recorded in FULL, no little detail will be omitted, however trivial, as regards water supply, provisions, fuel, weather conditions, sickness, hospital, and in fact every detail will be exact as regards the transportation of every single man in the whole fleet. This trip will furnish and be a trip of data for the little brown men's rulers for future reference; and on top of this comes the announcement by the little brown men that in three years' time they expect to have the most powerful navy in the world, barring none. While I am not an alarmist and do not wish to be so considered, I will say this: If it ever gets to a point where that navy and our navy must meet in open warfare our navy must come out of the fracas No. 1, and if they do not may the Lord have mercy on all the towns along the Pacific and Atlantic seaboards, for the little brown men's guns can throw a shell a long ways. The Pacific coast has no sea defenses to speak of, only at a few points, and one of these is isolated. San Diego in fact is isolated by not having a railroad back from the sea far enough for the safe transportation of men and provisions. A little 6-pounder gunboat could and would smash to smithereens any train that would start to run into San Diego by the present railroad. The United States has planted some big guns at Point Loma, near San Diego, but they would not amount to much without inland communication, and this at present it has not. On the part of the government this is penny wise and pound foolish. No foreign country would allow so grave an error to exist from a military point of view. I have seen a statement recently that the Russian government had made their railraads all five feet guage in order that no other nation could use their tracks. But do you know that I have had a statement made to me away back in the eighties, by a man (a machinist) who worked on them, that in a roundhouse on the Russian frontier in Germany there stand 40 locomotives ready to unleash on this same five-foot gauge railway. And so ought the United States be ever ready with the best fighting machines on water that can be built, and plenty of them.
