IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of May 11, 1872. The Odd Fellows' lodge of this place have bought for $500, from F. and J. Backs, the fine lot on the east side of Los Angeles street, cornering on the small street on the north of Enterprise hall, size 50 by 120. We learn that it is the intention of this flourishing lodge to erect a fine brick edifice at an early day upon the property. The common council met on Wednesday last at 3 p.m. to receive the returns of the late city election, which being over they adjourned to Monday next at 3 p.m. We invite attention to the announcement of Dr. Gardiner in another column. The Dr. is a graduate of the great University of Pennsylvania, one of the most famous American institutions of medical learning and comes to us with the prestige of successful practice in older states. He makes his home permanently in Anaheim, and we bespeak for him a fair share of public patronage. Mrs. Flora Eldridge has just received by express, via Oriflame, of Thursday last a large and elegant stock of millinery goods of the latest styles, which will be open to the public next week. In Mrs. Metz's new building, on Center street, adjoining this office. This is a new enterprise in Anaheim, and a needed one, too, for with the advent of the warm season From Gazette of May 13, 1897. Placards have been tacked up about town by Marshal Steadman warning bicycle riders that they must observe the provisions of the city ordinance imposing a fine of not less than $10 for riding bicycles on the sidewalks. Many complaints have been brought to the authorities of late of this nuisance and it is time it should be abated. Pedestrians have some rights and bicyclists must keep off the sidewalks or they will be arrested under the ordinance and punished. William Crowther returned on Monday evening from attendance upon the session of the grand lodge of the Legion of Honor, which convened in San Francisco. Mrs. Hartung entertained a select number of her friends in a charming style at "Hearts" last Tuesday afternoon at her home on Broadway in honor of Miss Delmas, of San Jose, who is her guest. The parlors were decorated with a profusion of sweet peas and carnations, making a very pretty effect. At the conclusion of the game refreshments were served. The prizes were awarded the following young ladies. The first prize, a hand-some bonbonier box, fell to Miss Jessie Melrose. The second, a Japanese handkerchief box, to Miss Zelma Bailey and the consolation, a dainty coin tray, to Miss Winifred Melrose. Mrs. L. E. Ledger and young son, of Los Angeles, visited with relatives Mrs. Flora Eldridge has just received by express, via Oriflame, of Thursday last a large and elegant stock of millinery goods of the latest styles, which will be open to the public next week, in Mrs. Metz's new building, on Center street, adjoining this office. This is a new enterprise in Anaheim, and a needed one, too, for with the advent of the warm season will be wanted the stylish and pretty hats to set off to advantage the many beautiful faces that appear upon the street. Married, at Anaheim, May 8, 1872 by Rev. L. P. Webber, Mr. John Neipp of this city, to Miss Mary Wildnar late of San Francisco. We understand that Mrs. Metz hailed her fine vineyard to Wm. König. P. C. McKinnie is at San Francisco attending the meeting of the grand lodge of Odd Fellows as representative of Anaheim lodge. George Miller is putting up a small store building on Los Angeles street adjoining the Star restaurant, which is to be occupied by Antonio Rolmo & Bros., as a fruit and confectionary store. Considerable interest was manifested in the election for city officers, on Monday last, and a larger vote was polled than expected, considering the fact that many of our citizens are opposed to a continuance of the city government, and declined to vote. Following is the result as per official returns: For mayor, Kroeger, 76; for councilmen, Zeyn, 75; Champlin, 76; Helmann, 74; Macy, 73; Korn, 76; for treasurer, Rimpau, 75; for attorney, Gardner, 76; for assessor, Dyer, 76; for marshal, Rust, 20, Lehman, 55. The contract for building the Masonic hall building was let on Monday last to Mr. Stappenback for $3350, that being the lowest bid. This includes all the work except the painting. Material is already being placed on the ground, work to be commenced at once and the building so far completed by the 24th of June, that the lodge may meet there on that occasion for the celebration of St. John's day. Mrs. L. E. Ledger and young son, of Los Angeles, visited with relatives and friends in town last week, the guests of Mrs. Lloyd Bailey. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Derge leave on Monday next for a visit with Mr. Derge's parents in Wisconsin. They will visit in Chicago and other places of interest and will be absent a month or six weeks.

Deeds Filed—C. Tustin to Lagenberger & Co., six lots in Tustin City for $1000; C. and W. Tustin to Langenberger, Blockman & Co., three lots in Tustin City for $137.97. We have the pleasure of welcoming a new contemporary, La Cronica, published of Los Angeles in the Spanish language by Teodalli & Co. The "Co." we believe is T. P. Ramirez, one of the most popular and courteous members of the Los Angeles bar well as an experienced newspaper man. It has our best wishes for its success. It seems as if Anaheim ought to raise her own vegetables, yet the only regular source of supply, as far as we can see is from a Chinese peddler, who comes two or three times a week and sells at exorbitant prices, a much poorer article than could easily be produced here. It is a great pity to pay a stranger several hundred dollars a month for what we could just as easily produce at home. Will some one go into the business and get rich? Notice of Meeting—The general meeting of the Anaheim Cemetery association will be held May 27, 1872. Signed, R. Heyerman, Sec. John Schauman returned on Friday from a five months sojourn in Mexico where he went in search of health and recreation. He returns greatly improved in health and is so favorably impressed with Mexico that he may return there to reside permanently. Montgomery Hamilton, of Santa Ana, a nephew of Victor Montgomery, was drowned while bathing in the lake near Laguna on Sunday afternoon. He was 19 years of age. Miss Marie Skinner and Cyrene McCormack drove down from Alhambra on Monday to make a short visit to the family of L. F. Lewis. An interesting musicale was given by Prof. Reiser and some of his pupils at the residence of W. J. Smith, on Orangethorpe avenue, on Wednesday evening last. The evening was devoted to the study of the life and works of Robert Schuman. The program included a paper on the "Life and Works of Schuman," by Miss Ruth Smith; a piano duet by Misses May and Irene Cargill and piano solos by Miss Grace Smith, Miss Ethel Spencer, Miss Irene Cargill, Mr. Reiser, Miss May Cargill, Miss Eva Lyons, Miss Ruth Smith and Miss Mabel Schulte. A feature of the evening was the soprano solo, "He Most Knightly," by Mrs. F. Hiltscher. Prof. Reiser favored the audience with a bass solo, "I Do Not Grieve." Billy Connolly has purchased the blacksmithing plant of John Gardiner at Fullerton and will henceforth be a resident of that flourishing burg. ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOLS CONTAIN 1327 REPEATERS That Orange county probably has a larger percentage of "repeaters" in its public schools than any other county in the state, was the startling statement made by R. P. Mitchell, county school superintendent. By repeaters, Superintendent Mitchell meant those children who fall to keep up with their fellows and are forced to remain for more than a term in any one grade. "The large percentage of Mexican children in Orange county schools makes such a situation almost irremediable," stated Mitchell, who offered the statistics that of 12,598 children enrolled in the elementary schools on March 1, 1922, 1327 were repeaters. The fact that there are at least 2000 Mexican children in these same schools and they have little or no knowledge of the English language save as they acquire it at school, created the present situation, according to the opinion of educational experts. While investigations along such lines have been a part of the policy of the Orange county school system for several years, interest has been augmented by the action taken recently by Will C. Wood, superintendent of public instruction for California, in the matter of school expenditures on the backward child and on "repeaters." Declaring that the latter were costing the state nearly $7,000,000 yearly, Wood has appealed to superintendents all over the state, to aid him in reducing the expenditure. In his letters to the local officials Wood declared that the percentage could be greatly reduced but offered no solution as to the manner in which this might be brought about. "The plea raises a nice question for debate," declared County Superintendent Mitchell. "Which costs the state more, the bright child or the dull diverse types, many of them antagonistic to each other, and at no time fully assimilated by national spirit and common ideals and purposes. North and south China long have been hostile politically. Civil war there at present is assuming menacing proportions. Armies are in the field and definite plans for war are laid. So powerful is the uprising, President Hsu may be forced to give up his office before his term expires, eighteen months hence. It is to be hoped that this civil conflict may soon collapse. Other uprisings in China in the past have sprung up with threatening vigor, only to wilt, in short order, like Jonah's gourd. For the good of China it is hoped that this domestic strife soon may wilt. Most hogs are butchered in the fall and winter, but it is always in order to butcher road hogs. Moonshine is destroying a lot of the world's sunshine. NOTICE INVITING SEALED PROPOSALS OR BIDS. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that sealed proposals or bids will be received by the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, at the office of the City Clerk of said city, up to eight o'clock P. M. of Thursday, the 11th day of May, 1922, for the furnishing unto the City of Anaheim, of a deep well pump and motor for said city, in accordance with specifications therefor, which were adopted by the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, on the 13th day of April, 1922, and are on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Anaheim. Bids will be received on pump and motor, together with starting compensator, or on pump and motor separately, and the Board of Trustees of said city reserves the right to reject any and all bids or any part of any bid. Bidders must furnish: the state nearly $7,000,000 yearly. Wood has appealed to superintendents all over the state, to aid him in reducing the expenditure. In his letters to the local officials Wood declared that the percentage could be greatly reduced but offered no solution as to the manner in which this might be brought about. "The plea raises a nice question for debate," declared County Superintendent Mitchell. "Which costs the state more, the bright child or the dull child? While the bright child will go through the grades, complete junior college and possibly the state university, the dull child will stop school at the first opportunity, thus relieving the state of the burden of his education." When it came to the question of economic value of the state Mitchell declared that was raising too nice a question for debate. Recently a conference of the teachers of the various so-called Mexican schools of the county was called. Matters pertaining to teaching the children were discussed and the experiences of various teachers were given. These experiences would indicate that the games and plays introduced the best manner of teaching children English in preparation for the later school work, but with the handicap of not knowing the English language, than progress is necessarily slow. Hence these children of another race really form the bulk of the repeaters. As against the 1327 repeaters, the county in the same period of time produced 265 accelerated students, of those whose mentality was such that they might be pushed ahead of their grade. "In the Santa Ana schools the introduction of standardized intelligence tests in the research work as instituted a few years ago has been a factor in making necessary adjustments between pupils and classes," declared J. A. Cranston, city superintendent of the Santa Ana schools. According to Cranston, children of the schools are placed in three classifications, those of slow mentality, of average mentality and of superior mentality. This plan, he declared, has been found to eliminate many of the repeaters in the city schools, as they are graded in such a manner that while their work is slower, nevertheless, it is firmly grounded and need not be repeated. A plan at present under consideration for which were adopted by the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, on the 13th day of April, 1922, and are on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Anaheim. Bids will be received on pump and motor, together with starting compensator, or on pump and motor separately, and the Board of Trustees of said city reserves the right to reject any and all bids or any part of any bid. Bidders must furnish: 1st. Price of motor and starter compensator, F. O. B. cars Anaheim, California, with complete Specifications and guaranteed efficiency. 2nd. Price of Pump F. O. B. cars Anaheim, California, installed in a 16-inch well located at 518 South Los Angeles Street, Anaheim, California. 3rd. Weight of pump and time of delivery, together with complete specifications and guaranteed efficiency of pump, using manufacturer's motor efficiency for direct connected drive. Each bid must be accompanied by a certified check or bond, such bond to be executed by two good and sufficient sureties, or by a corporate surety, as provided by law, payable to the City of Anaheim, in an amount equal to not less than ten per cent (10%) of such bid, such check or bond to be forfeited to the City of Anaheim as liquidated damages in the event that the successful bidder shall fail to execute a contract for the delivery of said equipment within ten days after the acceptance of such bid. Any such bond shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim. The successful bidder shall, within ten days after the acceptance of his bid, enter into an agreement with the City of Anaheim for the furnishing and delivery to said city of said equipment in accordance with specified conditions, and must furnish a bond in a sum of not less than fifty (50%) percent of the contract price, executed by two good and sufficient sureties, or by a corporate surety as provided by law, which shall be conditioned upon the faithful performance of said contract. Said bond shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim. Dated this 25th day of April, A. D. 1922. EDWARD B. MERRITT. City Clerk of the City of Anaheim. J. E. SCHUMACHER CO.. Opp. S. P. Depot, W. Anaheim. According to Cranston, children of the schools are placed in three classifications, those of slow mentality, of average mentality and of superior mentality. This plan, he declared, has been found to eliminate many of the repeaters in the city schools, as they are graded in such a manner that while their work is slower, nevertheless, it is firmly grounded and need not be repeated. A plan at present under consideration by the board of education is to establish summer school where work may be taken over, thus eliminating the necessity for repeating the work in a regular term of school. "Many newcomers in the city find it difficult for their children to continue their studies in the grade in which they were begun. We hope that a summer school will bring the work of such pupils up to the standards required by the city schools and allow them to continue their course unhindered." A survey is now being made both of elementary and high schools, with a view to finding out the needs. Pupils will be required to pay a small tuition, so that the expenses will not be drawn from the school budget. CONFLICT RAGES IN CHINA China is amassing a great volume of trouble of a kind which belies that country's traditional reputation for being peaceful. Truth is, China has been peaceful only as to other countries. Internally, it has had many wars. Civil strife has been pronounced frequently all down through the long centuries of China's existence. The Chinese are not homogeneous people. Among the 400,000,000 population of that ancient land, there are... M. Morrisson for and Builder.
