FIRE HOUSE BIDS REJECTED BY TRUSTEES PLANS WILL BE MODIFIED AND SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS CUT FROM COST C. E. CHAMBERLAIN GETS THREE CONTRACTS FOR LAYING SEWER AND WATER PIPE Numerous were the bids which confronted the city trustees Thursday evening when that body assembled in regular session. They were in response to advertisements soliciting sealed proposals on three jobs of municipal work. They were for the construction of the commodious new home of the fire department on Hermine street, the laying of 4,500 feet of sewer pipe connections on Lemon street and Broadway, and the installation of 11,090 feet of cast iron water pipe on Broadway, Santa Ana and Lemon streets. Four bids were submitted for the erection of the fire building, but as the figures of the lowest bidder, Messrs. Fletcher & Fletcher, of Anaheim, were nearly a thousand dollars in advance of the anticipated cost the board deemed it prudent to do some pruning of the plans and specifications before awarding the contract. The bids were as follows: Mulder & Harnish... $8,300 Fletcher & Fletcher... 7,832 J. S. Hilend... 8,295 Long Beach Con. Co... 9,574 The bid of Fletcher & Fletcher was the only one considered, it being $463 below that of J. S. Hilend, the next lowest, but Trustee Gates, who has been estimating the total cost of the Monday, August 11, at the council room. Ben Dauser had a petition before the board asking that a line of private water pipe extending from the Anaheim Feed Mill to his residence be purchased by the city and water extended to the house and to the packing house of the Anaheim Orange Growers' Association. Having sold the feed mill and the pumping plant which hitherto supplied those places he now wants city water. Mr. Lewis was instructed to get his price on the pipe and report later. Ordinance No. 263, changing the name of the county road to Lincoln avenue was introduced and passed up for passage at the next meeting. The application of Elmer Burns for a five-year lease of the Gilbert ranch was presented by Trustee Cook. Mr. Burns offers $1,000 per year for the ranch and agrees to make the necessary water improvements himself. Mr. Cook was instructed to consummate the deal and make a five-year lease, subject to cancellation in case the property is sold before its expiration. Messrs. Cook, Stark and Hamler, the committee which visited San Diego last week for the purpose of examining a fire engine used by that city's department, made a favorable report, believing the apparatus would be satisfactory. The engine is the Seagrave, an auto truck combination chemical and hose concern, and the cost is $6,000. The report of the committee was filed and final action on the purchase of the engine will be taken up later. City Engineer Steward was instructed to prepare Lemon street for the paving crew and he is also working on the plans for the Broadway paving. It is the intention of the trustees to continue the paving as long and as rapidly as the property owners demand it. PRICE OF TOES AT OLIVE TAKES DECIDED SLUMP PRICE OF TOES AT OLIVE TAKEES DECIDED SLUMP Boy Shoots Off Two, Sues For $25,000 and Gets Nothing Toes as a legal commodity may have been worth $12,500 apiece in the suit of Loren Lord against F. A. Blake, but on Wednesday the price dropped down to a figure represented only by a string of zeros. Loren Lord asked $25,000 damages because he shot two of his toes off with a gun that belonged to Blake and while he was at work on Blake's place at Olive. Friday morning the jury brought in a verdict in favor of the defendant. The boy testified that he was given the gun by Blake and told to go out and kill pigeons. He said the gun was defective and was accidentally discharged. He lost two toes and his foot was otherwise injured. Attorney Poole of Los Angeles brought the suit for the boy and tried the case. After he had put on his testimony, Attorney R. Y. Williams was willing to leave the case to the jury without argument. Blake and his wife testified that they had specifically told the boy not to use the shotgun, and that the boy took it without their knowledge. Dr. Domann of Orange testified that while he was dressing the wounded foot Blake came into the room and the injured boy said: "Oh, Mr. Blake, don't scold me because I took the gun after you told me to leave it alone." Miss Susan Weitbrecht of Orange testified that she heard the boy say that Blake was not at fault, that the boy took the gun without permission. The jury was out this morning just long enough to take one ballot, and the verdict was for the defendant. ORANGE COUNTY TWELFTH IN LIST Apportionment of State Elementary School Funds Made Edward Hyatt, state superintendent of schools, has sent out his statements of the third apportionment of the engine will be taken up later.

In c Fred Hess ...17c per foot Sam Kruley...8-in, 16½c; 4-in, 14½c Chris Radisch ...17c per foot Figuring on a basis of 10,470 feet of 4-inch and 620 feet of 8-inch pipe, Mr. Kruley's offer was $70 below Chamberlain's, but as he submitted a bid for 11,090 feet of 4-inch pipe alone, being 600 feet more than the specifications called for the board deemed it unwise to consider it and gave the contract to Chamberlain. Peter Garbovich, who recently secured the contract for laying 2,500 feet of sewer connections on Lemon street, was before the board by a representative and asked to be released from his job. His bid was 20 cents per lineal foot, but his attorney explained that Garbovich believed himself to be bidding on 4,900 feet instead of 2,500. He asked that the cost of advertising and attorney's fees, and all expenses incurred be deducted from his check in the hands of the city clerk and the balance returned to him. On motion of Hamler the request was granted and the contract reverts to C. E. Chamberlain whose bid of 28 cents per foot was the next lowest. Building permits were granted to the following applicants: To Frank Fox, frame addition on Third street south, cost $200. To Richard Melrose, frame residence on East Cypress street, cost $2,000. To G. H. Jorns, contractor, frame school house on Chartres street, cost $1,700. To Fisher Wine Co., corrugated iron shed in rear on North Los Angeles street. The city clerk announced that the board of equalization will meet on ORANGE COUNTY TWELFTH IN LIST Apportionment of State Elementary School Funds Made Edward Hyatt, state superintendent of schools, has sent out his statements of the third apportionment of state elementary school funds for the year. This apportionment is made on the basis of $2.40 per pupil in average daily attendance. The amount of the present apportionment is $572,189.40. On the list of 58 counties, Orange county stands twelfth in number of pupils and size of apportionment, with an average daily attendance of 5,552, making its apportionment $11,326.08. The total for the three apportionments of this school year is $5,067,553.80; last year the total apportionment was $4,899,236.90. Thus the apportionment of this year exceeds by $168,316.90 that of last year. But there are 514 more teachers this year and 17,083 more pupils in average daily attendance. Consequently the total rate per pupil (made up of the rates for the three apportionments) is less this year, being $9.08, against $9.52 last year.

MITCHELL MAKES HIS ANNUAL REPORT COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT PUBLISHES STATISTICS OF ORANGE COUNTY'S SCHOOLS SPEAKS HIGHLY OF THE NEW SYSTEM OF MANUAL TRAINING NOW TAUGHT The annual report of County Superintendent of Schools Mitchell shows that Orange county had a substantial growth in the last year. Statistics for 1911-12 showed 6,772 pupils enrolled in the grades of the entire county and 1,187 in the high schools. The report for 1912-13 shows 7,268 in the grades and 1,437 in the high schools. That Orange county is liberal when it comes to providing school facilities is indicated by the amount of money spent for new school buildings. In 1911-12 the sum of $92,869.28 was spent on new grammar school buildings and $285,-234.62 on new high school buildings. In 1912-13 new grammar school buildings cost $108,414.43 and new high school buildings $173,289.86. These totals do not include but a small proportion of the new Santa Ana high school. Those pupils of the grade schools of Orange county outside of Santa Ana are to be given credit for work done at home or elsewhere outside of school hours. In this case the word work means actual manual labor, such as dish-washing, hoeing the corn, chopping wood and mowing the lawn. The proposed system is a new thing in this county. Prof. Charles C. Smith, formerly a teacher at Huntington Beach, now principal of the grammar schools at Orange, is father of the idea. work which is sent to the teacher by the parent each month. The plan is not to make the home work a required study but to allow any pupil who wishes to do so to take up the work and to ask credit thereon. The question of whether or not the pupil receives pay for the work will not enter into the question of school credit." Thursday County Superintendent of Schools Mitchell sent his annual report to State Superintendent Hyatt. From this report figures are gathered and a comparison made with the annual report July 1, a year ago. The school year runs from July 1 of one year to July 1 of the next year. In the following "this year" means 1912-13, ended June 30, 1913, and "last year" means the year previous. This year there were 451 grammar school graduates in Orange county; last year, 464. High school graduates this year, 172; last year, 127. This-year the average cost per pupil of maintaining the kindergarten of the county was $18.42; last year, $14. Average cost per grammar school pupil this year, $32.31; last year, $30.41. Average cost per high school pupil this year, $112.90; last year, $108.43. This year the total amount expended on the grades of the county was $327,-691.53; high schools, $447,213.92. Last year, grades, $314,356.87; high schools, $302,002.94. This year the total paid for grade teachers' salaries was $144,760.65 and for high school teachers' salaries $92,-474. The average salary paid male teachers per year was $1,057 in the grades and $1,402.61 in the high schools, and the average paid women teachers in the grades was $746.20, and $1,148.33 in the high schools.

Those pupils of the grade schools of Orange county outside of Santa Ana are to be given credit for work done at home or elsewhere outside of school hours. In this case the word work means actual manual labor, such as dish-washing, hoeing the corn, chopping wood and mowing the lawn. The proposed system is a new thing in this county. Prof. Charles C. Smith, formerly a teacher at Huntington Beach, now principal of the grammar schools at Orange, is father of the idea. It has been adopted by the board of education and will be included in the new school manual for the school year 1913-14. Under the proposal adopted, regularity of work is encouraged. Thirty minutes each school day and two hours' work on Saturday for a month, maintained while the pupil is in good health, will give the pupil a mark of 100 in that "study" for the month. Missing a day will knock five per cent off the record. The system is fully explained by Mr. Smith in the following: "Realizing that a large part of the education that really counts is acquired outside of the school room, it is the desire of the county board to devise some plan by which the child's outside work may be recognized for school credit. Some teachers may not be able to use the suggestion at all, but it is hoped that out of the experience of those who try it this year information may be gathered which can be used in perfecting a better plan for next year's work. "The plan is to count the home work as a full subject and to give it as much credit toward promotion or graduation as any one study that is taken in the school room. To obtain full credit with a grade of 100 per cent on the home work, the pupil above the second grade must work at home or for some recognized employer for thirty minutes on each school day and for two hours each school day and for two hours each Saturday. For a pupil in the first or second grade a grade of 100 per cent may be given for fifteen minutes' work each day and for one hour of work each Saturday. Cards will be furnished by the county superintendent and the statement that the work has been done in a satisfactory manner must be signed by the parent or employer. An average of thirty minutes each day will not be accepted because one of the important things to be gained is the habit of regular work. For each day the work is forgotten five per cent must be deducted from the perfect grade of 100 per cent. In cases of sickness an" PROGRAMME FOR VETERANS' REUNION Will Be Held at Huntington Beach Beginning August 12 The Southern California Veterans' Association has made the following official statement: The executive council having accepted the bid of the Tent City Company at Huntington Beach at its meeting in January, the date of opening camp has been fixed for Tuesday, August 12, and committees are announced as follows: Reception, Louis Paul Hart and M. E. Helme, Huntington Beach; transportation, Past Commanders A. J. Wilson, E. G. Seymour, Jason J. Shepherd; program and entertainment, O. V. Knowlton of Fullerton, and W. E. Herendeen of Los Angeles. The program has been arranged for these dates: Tuesday, August 12—the usual opening of camp. Evening reception. Address of welcome by the mayor of Huntington Beach. Response by Commander R. Heffelfinger. Entertainment by Huntington Beach post, corps and citizens. Wednesday, August 13—Evening campfire, reminiscences of the war. Patriotic songs, music by the drum corps. Thursday, August 14.-At 10 A.M., reunion by states; 2 P.M., meeting of ex-prisoners of war, conducted by Comrade Frank Hobart of Ventura. Evening entertainment by Sons of Veterans of Santa Ana. Friday, August 15—At 2 P.M., internal program by fat folks and funny folks. Entertainment in the evening by Robley D. Evans post and corps.

Davis, of Whittier. Address by Rev. Frank M. Dowling of Fullerton. Monday, August 18—Camp Court will convene at 10 A.M. to punish each day and for one hour of work each Saturday. Cards will be furnished by the county superintendent and the statement that the work has been done in a satisfactory manner must be signed by the parent or employer. An average of thirty minutes each day will not be accepted because one of the important things to be gained is the habit of regular work. For each day the work is forgotten five per cent must be deducted from the perfect grade of 100 per cent. In cases of sickness an excuse should be sent by the parent to the teacher, and if accepted by the teacher, nothing need be deducted from the month's grade, provided not more than one-fourth of the work time for the month has been missed. "Of course the co-operation of the teacher, parent and pupil is necessary to make the plan a success, and no one should feel a greater interest in its success than the parent. He should be exacting in dealing with the child, realizing that it is the training of the child that is sought more than the credit for the work. The parent who would thoughtlessly connive with the child to get the credit unfairly would find only chaff instead of wheat when the harvest time comes around. "The thirty minutes required work may be done at one time or it may be divided into two fifteen minute periods during the day. Consciencious work may be recognized and credit given for washing dishes, mending, darning, sweeping, making beds, tending babies, making garden, running errands, milking cows, carrying papers or any other honest work, and the nature of the work must be stated in a note accompanying the card statement of the Sunday, August 17—Memorial service at 10 A.M.
