POST-GRADUATE COURSES AT THE HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORE YEARS AT UNIVERSITY TO BE TAKEN UP HERE ANAHEIM ABREAST OF FOREMOST EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS OF THE STATE Of especial interest to high school graduates, as well as all others interested in education, is the announcement made by the trustees of the Anaheim Union high school district that work in post-graduate courses will be taken up in the high school this year. These higher courses embrace work in the freshmen and sophomore years at the university at Berkeley. Thus graduates may attend these courses during two years, and thereafter may attend the university during the junior and senior years. This will cut down the term of their residence at Berkeley from four to two years. The new courses of study which are recommended to the board of trustees by Dr. E. W. Hauck, principal of the school, will leges of Southern California, to change their plans. The high school proposes to help those who are not so fortunate as to get away to these other institutions. Among the subjects that are now being offered at the Anaheim high school which will be recognized by the state university at Berkeley and by other schools for advanced or surplus matriculation credit are: Algebraic Theory, Cicero, Virgil, Plane Trigonometry, German, Spanish, Freehand and Geometrical Drawing. There has been added to our work a course in the history of Great Britain which has been especially recommended for post-graduate work by the department of history of the University of California. In post-graduate work the student is expected to have developed and is further taught to use the habit of independence of thought, comparison of ideas and estimation of values. In history the research work in various authorities is more important than the following of a text-book. The course on the history of Great Britain is not only narrative but takes up a careful consideration of the development of English institutions, with their bearing on American law and institutions. There is no idea of a makeshift arrangement in this work. The equivalent of college work is offered with recognized methods and by competent instructors. No course will be recommended for advanced credit that is not carried with a degree of efficiency revolves at a rate of two times per minute the brace from the hose into the wrist.

These higher courses embrace work in the freshmen and sophomore years at the university at Berkeley. Thus graduates may attend these courses during two years, and thereafter may attend the university during the junior and senior years. This will cut down the term of their residence at Berkeley from four to two years. The new courses of study which are recommended to the board of trustees by Dr. E. W. Hauck, principal of the school, will make it possible for students to remain at home two years after graduating from the high school. This great advancement in education here places A. U. H. S. alongside of the most progressive educational institutions in the state, and the new plan will meet with instantaneous co-operation on the part of all friends of education throughout the community. Already a number of graduates have signified their intentions of entering the freshman year here, and that the new order of things will be eminently successful is beyond possibility of a doubt. The California state law provides that the high school board of any high school district may provide post-graduate courses of study for the graduates of such high school. The courses offered are to be approximately those given in colleges and universities during the first two years. Schools that have arranged to give this work are known as "Junior Colleges." In this plan there is a new recognition of the high school in its function as "the people's college." The junior college gives many an opportunity to take advanced work at home, to those who for financial or other reasons are unable to attend a more distant institution. Some parents well able and willing to pay for the schooling of their children away from home, prefer to keep their sons and daughters under the parental roof two years longer and so welcome the addition to the usefulness of the high school. The state legislature in making provision for graduate work also recognized the growth of our great universities. Where a few years ago there were but hundreds, there are now thousands of students. Formerly it was not difficult to care for all the students that came. Now the upper class and graduate work of the universities is suffering because of the effort that must be made to keep up the courses offered to the multitude of first- and second-year students. The high school of today is so adequately equipped and generously supported that it is well able to take up the additional task of providing fifth and sixth year courses. The Anaheim HIGH SCHOOL MANUAL FOR COMING TERM Comprehensive Outline of Work For the Year 1913-1914 One of the neatest pieces of printing ever turned out by an Anaheim print shop has just been issued from this office. It is the "Manual of the Anaheim Union High School," giving a review of the course of study for the coming year and much other valuable information relative to the school. The book contains 32 pages and a number of half-tone cuts giving views of various sections of interest in the big institution. The school opens Monday, Septemthan the following of a textbook. The course on the history of Great Britain is not only narrative but takes up a careful consideration of the development of English institutions, with their bearing on American law and institutions. There is no idea of a makeshift arrangement in this work. The equivalent of college work is offered with recognized methods and by competent instructors. No course will be recommended for advanced credit that is not carried with a degree of efficiency required in the best institutions. Students must have had four years of high school work satisfactorily completed to be allowed to enter advanced courses. Not only has the high school developed so that it offers more than ever before to the education of the young men and women of our town and community, but there are a number of courses that are interesting to adults who have been at college or who from their life experiences are able to profit by the work offered. It is expected that a number of adults will enroll for work at the high school this year. The high school manual that has just been published contains descriptions of courses offered. It will be sent by mail to persons requesting it. The principal will also gladly meet anyone interested at his office during the week beginning September 1st. Briefly summarizing the Anaheim Union high school aims this year to provide such post-graduate instruction as may be found best suited to the needs of those applying for it. In a short time, if the plan meets with the interest and approval of the people of the district, complete fifth and sixth-year courses will be offered. These courses will be equivalent to the first two years' work of our best colleges and universities. This is the second department that has occurred in sugar factory, which is showing considering theyployed, the complicated use, and the consequent lurks on all sides. George killed a year ago in that by being struck on the iron bar. Aside from this of a serious nature have years ago there were but hundreds, there are now thousands of students. Formerly it was not difficult to care for all the students that came. Now the upper class and graduate work of the universities is suffering because of the effort that must be made to keep up the courses offered to the multitude of first- and second-year students. The high school of today is so adequately equipped and generously supported that it is well able to take up the additional task of providing fifth and sixth year courses. The Anaheim Union high school is one of the most fortunate in this respect. The science laboratories with very little additional equipment can provide for instruction in college courses. Work in qualitative and quantitative analysis in chemistry can parallel that offered at the state university. Organic chemistry can be offered. The work in botany in advance of the elementary course can be directed toward our local interests, looking toward a practical, useful course in agriculture. Four years' work in mathematics has been offered for some years. Additional courses in pure and applied mathematics will be added. The work in history and English is facilitated by the excellent library equipment which is being added to this year. With four years of Latin, four of German and two of Spanish, Anaheim has more opportunities in the languages than ever before. The Anaheim Union high school is not offering at this time the full work of a junior college. At present the plan is to offer sufficient courses to enable graduate students to spend a year profitably at the school. No attempt is made to pursue young men and women who have planned to go to one of the universities or the excellent col- One of the neatest pieces of printing ever turned out by an Anaheim print shop has just been issued from this office. It is the "Manual of the Anaheim Union High School," giving a review of the course of study for the coming year and much other valuable information relative to the school. The book contains 32 pages and a number of half-tone cuts giving views of various sections of interest in the big institution. The school opens Monday, September 8. Books for registration of pupils are open September 4 to 6, both days inclusive. The introduction to the manual says: "The Anaheim Union High School was organized in 1898. For three years it occupied part of the grammar school building. For over ten years the present Fremont school was the home of the high school. This building was increased in size from time to time. At present the school is located in a group of six buildings on a campus of eleven acres. The change in quarters is indicative of the growth of the school. This manual was prepared to show the patrons of the school something of the scope and object of the work now being done. It will also be useful in helping the students and their parents select courses suited to their interests and needs. "The principal of the school extends an invitation to all parents to consult him about the work of their sons and daughters, and to all patrons to visit the school and its exercises. There will be general exercises at the school each day at 1 o'clock with ample seating capacity for all interested." RICHARD GROOM KILLED AT THE SUGAR MILL YOUNG MAN MEETS DEATH IN PECULIAR MANNER AT THE BIG FACTORY NOZZLE FROM HOSE EXPELLED BY CENTRIFUGAL STRIKES HIM IN THE STOMACH Richard Groom, 17 years of age, met his death at the Anaheim sugar factory on Sunday last in an accident that was rather peculiar. Groom was employed in the factory and his duties consisted of washing the sugar in the centrifugals, during the process of refining, by turning a stream of water on the inside of the drums with a hose. The accident occurred at half past one o'clock Sunday. While turning the stream into the centrifugal which revolves at a rate of two thousand revolutions per minute the brass nozzle fell from the hose into the whirling drum. It was instantly expelled with terrific force, striking him in the pit of the stomach. It did not penetrate the flesh but the blow was sufficient to injure the internal organs. He was removed PROMINENT CITIZEN CLAIMED BY DEATH Roman Wisser Succumbs to Paralysis After Several Months’ Illness The passing of Roman Wisser removes from Anaheim a man who has been prominent in its business circles for a number of years. Mr. Wisser came to Anaheim more than a quarter of a century ago, first engaging in the restaurant business. For a couple of years he conducted a saloon at Fullerton. Twenty-two years ago he established the Favorite saloon in Anaheim, which business he has managed ever since. Mr. Wisser was born at Bleinschweiler, Lorraine, on Christmas day, 1856. He came to America in 1884, first locating at San Antonio, Texas. After two or three years’ residence at San Antonio and Albuquerque, New Mexico, he came to Anaheim. In 1888 he was married to Emily Meyer whom he had known in San Antonio, but who was then living in Anaheim. Five children were born to them, four of them still living. They are Lucien, Mrs. Ed Schneider, Emma and Alice. Mr. Wisser was stricken with paralysis several months ago. He recovered sufficiently to be able to get out but two weeks ago was again stricken and gradually grew worse until the end came at half past three on PICTURE FILM FACTORY IS COMING PLANT EMPLOYING FROM FIFTY TO TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE MAY LOCATE HERE WILL MAKE DRAMATIC AND COMMERCIAL FILMS FOR MOVING PICTURE THEATERS A new industry which, the promoters claim, will carry the name of Anaheim to all parts of the world, and prove a great advertiser as well as a profit producer is now under consideration by the board of trade. It is a motion picture studio or film manufacturing concern and is to be known as the Anaheim Motion Picture Film Company. It will manufacture films for movies and its product will be sold and used wherever the moving picture theater is known. William Brizzolari is the owner of the plant which is now in operation in Los Angeles. With his attorney, Mr. Parkhurst, he presented his proposition to the board Monday night and that body accepted it without hesita- gals, during the process of refining, by turning a stream of water on the inside of the drums with a hose. The accident occurred at half past one o'clock Sunday. While turning the stream into the centrifugal which revolves at a rate of two thousand revolutions per minute the brass nozzle fell from the hose into the whirling drum. It was instantly expelled with terrific force, striking him in the pit of the stomach. It did not penetrate the flesh but the blow was sufficient to injure the internal organs. He was removed to the sanitarium where a number of physicians did all that was possible for him but death came at 10:30 Sunday night. The boy was 17 years of age and has been employed at the sugar factory from its opening day, also being engaged in the construction work on the big plant. He was one of the most popular of the 250 employees in the factory and many of them haunted the sanitarium Sunday evening seeking information as to his condition. The announcement of his death at 10:30 o'clock caused sincere sorrow among the large force who all knew and esteemed him. Richard Groom, father of the boy, is also an employee of the factory. The home of the family is on West street, one block north of Center. The remains were taken to the home where funeral services were held at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and a second service was conducted by Rev. H. D. Schmelzer at the German Lutheran church at 2 o'clock. The body was interred in the Anaheim cemetery. This is the second death from accident that has occurred at the Anaheim sugar factory, which is a remarkable showing considering the number employed, the complicated machinery in use, and the consequent danger that lurks on all sides. George Stovall was killed a year ago in the dumping pits by being struck on the head with an iron bar. Aside from this few accidents of a serious nature have occurred. GETS SIXTY DAYS FOR STEALING BIKE Mexican Thief Gives Phil Germann Exciting Race Monday Night Lorenzo Monteno gave Officer Phil Germann the hardest run of his official career Monday evening. About 8 o'clock while Phil was standing on the corner at Center and Los Angeles a Mexican came out of the Peerless saloon and beckoned to him. He was followed immediately by another Mexico, he came to Anaheim. In 1888 he was married to Emily Meyer whom he had known in San Antonio, but who was then living in Anaheim. Five children were born to them, four of them still living. They are Lucien, Mrs. Ed Schneider, Emma and Alice. Mr. Wisser was stricken with paralysis several months ago. He recovered sufficiently to be able to get out but two weeks ago was again stricken and gradually grew worse until the end came at half past three on Thursday, August 21. The funeral services began at the residence on Lemon street at 8:30 o'clock on Saturday, and at St. Boniface church at 9 o'clock a solemn mass was recited over the remains. The interment was made in the Anaheim cemetery. The pall bearers were Hugo Wetzel, Jacob Witmer, Charles Doussart, John Brunworth, Floyd Kellher and Robert Dunn. PRISONERS DENY NOLL BURGLARY Confess to Having Raided Home of W. F. Rannow on Sunday, Aug. 10 The two boys, Harry Bacon and James Lewis, under arrest for burglarizing the homes of Herman Noll and W. F. Rannow on Sunday, Aug. 10, will have a preliminary hearing some time this week. The boys were arrested on advices and descriptions by Anaheim officers by Deputy Sheriff Trefren, an auto stage driver, who found two boys loafing around Myford, put them under arrest and telephoned the sheriff's office. While Under Sheriff Law was on the way to Myford, one of the boys got away and started on a Marathon across the bean fields, headed for the distant hills. I. Jenkins had his automobile at Myford, and he and Trefren started after the fleeing boy, chasing him in the auto across the fields, finally catching him. Articles of wearing apparel belonging to Will Rannow were found on the boys but very little money. They confess to having entered the Rannow residence but strenuously deny any knowledge of the Noll burglary where two childrens' banks containing $35 were taken. The fact that they had practically no money on the day following the burglary leads the officers to believe that some other party raided the Noll house. The boys have been certified to the juvenile court, and are now in custody William Brizzolari is the owner of the plant which is now in operation in Los Angeles. With his attorney, Mr. Parkhurst, he presented his proposition to the board Monday night and that body accepted it without hesitation provided the manufacturing committee to which the matter was submitted for investigation makes a favorable report. Mr. Brizzolari asks for one acre of ground. His company is capitalized at $75,000 and expects to cover the entire acre with buildings. It will manufacture dramatic, commercial and educational films, a great portion of its work being in the advertising line for railroads and other big corporations. In addition to the developing rooms and work shop a stage will be maintained and a number of high class artists will be on the roll for the manufacture of dramatic films. The company expects to use a regular force of 50 people and this will be augmented at times to at least 200. The board has a site on A. A. Mills' tract in view. Mr. Mills, it is reported, will sell the site for half its actual value, or about $700. Mr. Brizzolari is the father of Mrs. David Todd Gillmor and he comes with good credentials. John Ziegler, chairman of the committee recently appointed on the street-widening proposition, reported that the majority of property owners on the south side of Center street favored it. Emil Dreyfus, who owns the Los Angeles street corner, asked a consideration of $5,000 for cutting ten feet from his 36-foot lot and action must be taken quickly before the new building progresses any further. It is possible that a pool will be formed by the property owners on that side of the street and all damages paid by an assessment fund. The heaviest owners of frontage on the street favor the widening plan. On the question of river protection G. L. Dietrich reported that County Surveyor McBride had made a draft of the river's bed from the Southern Pacific to the Santa Fe railroads, and had recommended before action was taken toward actual work that a right of way be secured with the supervisors' official O. K. on it. Messrs. Dietrich and Ahlborn were appointed to act with the Dahlman committee and secure the necessary authority to build dykes and wingdams. The bed of the river will FOR STEALING BIKE Mexican Thief Gives Phil Germann Exciting Race Monday Night Lorenzo Monteno gave Officer Phil Germann the hardest run of his official career Monday evening. About 8 o'clock while Phil was standing on the corner at Center and Los Angeles a Mexican came out of the Peerless saloon and beckoned to him. He was followed immediately by another Mexican who started to run, and turned into the alley at the Belmont corner. Phil gave chase and at the end of the alley he turned up Lemon street, going north. At Dr. Slosson's veterinary hospital he turned into the back yards with the officer hot on his trail. Here he disappeared for a time but was finally located in an old toilet. He was seated in a corner, had pulled his hat down over his face, and clasped his hands tightly over the hat. Phil yanked him out and carried him off to jail. Monteno had, a short time previously, rented a bicycle of Kern Brothers and later sold it to another Mexican for $10. The new owner took it to Kern's Monday to have it repaired. Recognizing the machine the bicycle men took possession of it and the swindled man went after Monteno. He was arraigned before Judge Howard Tuesday morning and was sentenced to 60 days in the county jail. Re-examination in German and Latin will be held at the high school on Thursday, September 4. All those wishing to take the examination should notify Miss Stechert before September 1. Articles of wearing apparel being to Will Rannow were found on the boys but very little money. They confess to having entered the Rannow residence but strenuously deny any knowledge of the Noll burglary where two childrens' banks containing $35 were taken. The fact that they had practically no money on the day following the burglary leads the officers to believe that some other party raided the Noll house. The boys have been certified to the juvenile court, and are now in custody awaiting the arrival of a judge so that their cases may be disposed of. They say that they live in San Diego. They were hoboing through the country when they got into trouble. BUENA PARK The Ladies' Mutual Aid Association will hold their first meeting after vacation on Thursday, September 4, at 2 P.M., at the home of Mrs. W. J. Cole, south of town. A full attendance is expected as business of importance will be transacted. The Parent Teachers' Association will give a reception to the teachers in the school hall on Friday evening, September 5. A very pleasant gathering is expected. The Park Chapter, O. E. S., will give a social and hop to their many friends on Monday evening, September 8, in Masonic hall. Music and dancing from 9 to 12. Mrs. Roy Meyers, formerly Miss Olga Wipperman, accompanied by her mother-in-law, who is visiting from Texas, was spending the past week with relatives and friends in Anaheim. On the question of river protection G. L. Dietrich reported that County Surveyor McBride had made a draft of the river's bed from the Southern Pacific to the Santa Fe railroads, and had recommended before action was taken toward actual work that a right of way be secured with the supervisors' official O. K. on it. Messrs. Dietrich and Ahlborn were appointed to act with the Dahlman committee and secure the necessary authority to build dykes and wingdams. The bed of the river will be about 600 feet. H. M. Adams of the committee appointed for the purpose of securing a kindergarten school in connection with the city schools, reported that members of the school board as well as County Superintendent Mitchell favored the idea but scarcity of funds would probably make it impossible to adopt the scheme this winter. It would probably be provided for in next year's tax levy as there was no objection to it. The Associated Chambers of Commerce met at Laguna Beach last night. Several members designated their intention of attending, six or eight being listed for seats at the banquet table. ADVERTISED LETTERS Mrs. J.

RETURNS FROM GETTYSBURG REUNION Hears President Wilson Speak, Sees Gen. Sickles Fanned by an Attendant Captain L. R. Williams returned to his home in this city on Monday from Gettysburg, where he attended the 50th reunion of veterans on that historic battlefield. Captain Williams returns in excellent health and spirits after an absence of ten weeks and reports having had an enjoyable time, but adds that the heat was terrific. There were 55,000 old soldiers at the encampment, and the captain met many old-time friends whom he had not seen in years. He heard President Wilson's address, and on that day sat down with the rest of the old soldiers to a chicken and ice-cream dinner. Twenty-five hundred chickens were killed for the feast. The captain also saw General Daniel E. Sickles, who is 93 years of age. The general was seated upon a porch of a residence near the encampment, and was being fanned by an attendant. Twenty-two thousand old soldiers from Pennsylvania attended the encampment and the northerners outnumbered the southerners by several thousand. Meeting between the old antagonists was of an especially cordial nature. The southerners invited their former antagonists to meet with them in the South next year, and the captain is of opinion the invitation will be MANY MOOSE TO PARTICIPATE IN PARADE HUNDREDS OF VISITORS FROM NEIGHBORING TOWNS IN LINE OF MARCH MONDAY THE WEEK OF CARNIVAL OPENED WITH A PROCESSION ON FOOT AND IN AUTOS More than one thousand members of the Loyal Order of Moose, representing the lodges at Santa Ana, San Bernardino, Venice, San Pedro, Whittier, Redlands, Ponoma, Los Angeles, Redondo and many other points in the Southland are expected to be in Anaheim next week to assist the local order in making the carnival which opens Monday morning an unqualified success. All the preliminary preparations for the carnival will be completed this week. The California Carnival Company will furnish the majority of the stunts which will be enclosed on the grounds east of the Central school building. This company was in Ana- JUNIOR COLLEGE FOR FULLERTON HIGH Post-Graduate Course Adopted by the Board of That Institution Prof. Delbert Brunton, principal of the Fullerton high school, was in Anaheim Thursday in the interest of that institution, distributing booklets and boosting for the post-graduate course known as the junior college, which has just been adopted by the board. The work of the junior college is supplementary to the state university and the object of its annexation to the high schools throughout the state is to relieve that institution as much as possible from the pressure of students in the junior years. The courses proposed to be maintained in the Fullerton high school are: English two years, German two years, Spanish two years, logic two years, history two years, mathematics two years, science two years, art two years, manual training one year. There will be no tuition fee to any residents of the district but non-residents will be required to pay a tuition of $5 per semester for any full course except a science course for which $10 will be charged. HOME FROM THE SEAS Herbert Davidson, of the Cruiser California, Visiting in Anaheim dondo and many other points in the Southland are expected to be in Anaheim next week to assist the local order in making the carnival which opens Monday morning an unqualified success. All the preliminary preparations for the carnival will be completed this week. The California Carnival Company will furnish the majority of the stunts which will be enclosed on the grounds east of the Central school building. This company was in Anaheim some years ago and some of the features presented were objected to by certain of the visitors to the grounds, but all such have been eliminated by order of the managing committee and it is claimed nothing that any one could take exceptions to will be permitted on the grounds. Twenty or more entertainments or shows will be open within the enclosure, and it is promised that they will all be clean and classy and worth seeing. A small admission fee will be charged at the entrance gate which is at the corner of North Philadelphia and Chartres streets. The entrance gates will be lighted brilliantly with electric lights at night and the grounds will also be illuminated with myriads of lights. Inside the visitor can take his choice of the many attractions offered and if one does not suit his fancy he can pass it by and try another. At 11 o'clock Monday morning festivities will begin with a parade headed by the Anaheim band in which the Moose lodges of Anaheim, San Bernardino, Ponoma, Whittier, Santa Ana, Los Angeles, San Pedro, Venice and Redondo will participate. The procession will be a long one. All persons who can do so are invited to join in the procession and help swell the crowd of merry-makers. Citizens owning automobiles that are not working are also invited to join the line and assist in giving the carnival a joyous start. The procession will start in front of the high school, will pass up Center street to the Santa Fe railroad where it will turn south into Broadway, go down Broadway to Lemon, north on Lemon to Chartres, east on Chartres to North Philadelphia, where it will disband in fornt of the entrance to the carnival grounds. The nights will be full of hilarity and amusement but nothing of an unseemly nature will be permitted. The thousands of visitors who are expected in Anaheim during the week will be royally entertained, but the entertainment offered them will be clean and unobjectionable. HOME FROM THE SEAS Herbert Davidson, of the Cruiser California, Visiting in Anaheim Herbert Davidson arrived in Anaheim Friday from San Francisco to visit his uncle, William Davidson, whom he has not seen for 15 years. Young Davidson’s home is in Chicago, but he has been serving three years in the United States navy and has just been honorably discharged. He was one of the 900 sailors on the U.S. battleship California and was wounded three months ago while engaged in a skirmish with the Mexicans and was in the hospital for two months. Two of the sailors were killed in the battle and several wounded. The Mexicans opened fire on the California at Guaymas. Davidson was shot in the left leg with a steel load from a three and a half inch shell. The U.S. warship carried four eight-inch guns, twelve six-inch, nineteen three-inch, besides nine hundred Springfield rifles. Mr. Davidson states that he received excellent treatment when in the hospital on the boat, and the best medical service was given him. The Anaheim Milling Company is sporting a spic and span new auto truck which was installed Saturday. It’s a beauty. BURGLARIES GETTING PRETTY NUMEROUS Smoke House Poolroom and Gardner’s Store Robbed Friday Night Last Friday night burglars entered the Smoke House poolroom on Los Angeles street, conducted by Fields & Lannders, and carried away about $60 worth of goods. Entrance was affected by breaking a glass in the rear transome and climbing through it by means of a step-ladder. Among the articles taken was a gold watch, a number of pocket knives and several boxes of cigars. Also a pocket full of pennies left in the register were carried off, the total value of the plunder aggregating $60. The store of the H. H. Gardner Co. next door to the poolroom was also entered the same night but nothing of value was taken. The cash drawer was smashed but no money found in it. This was probably the work of the same artist who made the profitable haul at Fields & Lannders.
