Grammar Schools On a High Level Enrollment This Year Reaches High Mark of 1643 By PROF. MELBOURNE A. GAUER, District Superintendent Obviously one of the strongest attractions in any community is the school system. Parents are anxious that their children receive the best training it is possible for them to secure. From the standpoint of educating the children for citizenship certainly no other agency has any more responsibility than the school—and it shares with the home and the church the training of the child for the future life to come.

Anaheim has been fortunate in its school boards, and at the present time, with Frank N. Gibbs president; Miss E. Kate Rea, secretary; and Homer W. Lewis, trustee, the Anaheim school district has a board of high quality and capacity. Of this district. This requires the cooperation of all the members of the faculty and the parents as well.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING CRANKING UP By A. B. AURRY, PA — THE ROAD IS GETTING CROWDED! CHRISTMAS SHOPPING LI'L OLD POCKETBOOK ANAHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim’s Hotels Are Among Best in State Anaheim’s advantages do not lie alone in her climate, her retail district or her manufacturing industries, for her hotels are second to none of similar size and importance in Southern California, and are an important factor in bringing visitors to this city. Superior hotel accommodations are available in Southern California at more reasonable rates than can be obtained in other resort territories and are, therefore, an outstanding magnet in procuring tourist business, bringing many visitors from the larger centers who spend the winter or summer here and who eventually become residents of the city. In Anaheim the comfort, convenience and pleasure of visitors are chiefly looked after by the Angelina and the Valencia hotels, located in the heart of the city; both are new and fireproof, and serve the public with both transient rooms and luxuriously furnished apartments equipped for housekeeping at weekly and monthly rates. Anaheim also has a number of smaller hotels and many beautiful bungalow courts and apartment houses, chief among which are the Antlers hotel, Blitmore Apartment house, Squier Villa, Marita Court and the Claudina Court. Rooms and apartments may also be secured in many private homes in different sections of the city. In satisfying the wants of the inner man, Anaheim is not to be outdone by any other city of its size on the Pacific coast, either in appointments, service or cuisine. It is an old saying that "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach," and Anaheim is indebted to the West End cafeteria, the Main cafe-teria and the Oyster Loaf café for many of her staunchest friends. While the three mentioned are the largest, they are not alone, for there are many others where the hungry visitor may secure a very satisfying meal at reasonable prices. CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA The land of golden sunsets and skies of azure blue. Where sunshine floods the mountains, the vales and canyons, too. Where flowers bloom forever and songbirds fill the air. With strains of sweetest music of love-life everywhere. Where rolls the broad Pacific, with rhythmic swish and sweep, Its rockbound coast a guardian of the secrets of the deep. Where mountains tower toward the sky, majestic, grand and tall. Sublime in glorious early dawn or when evening shadows fall. Where mighty trees stand stately, as sentinels towering high. Above the fertile valleys, beneath the cloudless sky. Broad stretch of sandy desert that shall blossom like the rose. Mysterious in its vastness, its marvel, its repose. Where stars shine bright in lonely spots, where moonbeams softly fall. Where God is good to mortals and blessings come to all. Fair land of richest heritage beyond all tongue to say. A treasure-trove of choicest gifts, a land of perfect day. —Minnie C. Childs, Tustin. With an estimated value of $14,000,-000, which is about $3,000,000 in excess of the amount received in 1924 for their crop, the walnut growers of Southern California have just harvested a 54-000,000-pound yield of nuts. This virtually amounts to 20 walnuts for every man, woman and child in the United States, with New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio absorbing the largest percentages of the crop.
