HISTORY OF OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS Development and Growth of Educational System During 69 Years, from 1859 to 1928 By ELENORA ALICE PARKER Fifth Installment, Continued from Last Week Beyond a doubt this communication played a large part in carrying the tax election. We learn through the Gazette that H. S. Austin was successful in procuring the office of Assessor and Collector of the tax, and placed a bond of $7000.00 with the school board on June 2, 1876. All this was a great step toward the goal, but we find Prof. Guinn pushing forward in his quiet unassuming manner. In the Gazette's "Kilnigkeiten" of June 17, 1876, we read that J. M. Guinn was appointed census Marshal by the trustees, and that he intended incidentally to take the census of the population of Anaheim. The editor said, "he will be entitled to the thanks of the community, as this is a matter which ought to be authoritatively ascertained." The Prof. Guinn had a real purpose in taking this census—although it increased his labor and demanded much extra time, all of which was rendered gratis—will be seen in future attainments. In due time he reported 460 persons under seventeen years, 827 above seventeen, making a total of 1257. "This shows an increase of over 100 per cent in our population as reported by the National Census of 1870." Although the vacation period was in progress, there was a stir, educationally, in the State and County, as well as in the Colony. First, we learn that Theodore Reiser's term as trustees having expired, and he not desiring to serve longer because of pressure of business affairs, the lot fell to Henry Kroeger on July 1, 1876. Having met and organized, we find the Board proceeded with the undertaking of school expansion. Their first public act was the publishing of a notice in the Gazette of July 26, 1876. Although much of the succeeding work of the board was of a technical nature articles the Board of Supervisors would be expected to levy a tax of $27,957. This gave the local school board a basis for computing the amount they could expect from the County Fund. On October 4, 1876, the editor of the local paper, commenting upon an interview with the school-tax Collector stated, "Col. Austin says there are still a number of delinquents, but they have nearly all expressed their willingness to pay the tax. The trustees have wisely decided to extend the time of receiving taxes to the utmost limit, recognizing the truth of the saying, which the spirit of the late lamented Daniel Webster is credited with uttering, that "these are tight times." There are a few, however, that have combined to resist the collection of the tax, and we suppose that unless they can be gained over by moral surrender, the law will have to be invoked." Thus we see the trials and duties of the Tax-Collector have not changed much in the interim. That the Board took ample time in the selection of a suitable site for a new school house is seen by the record given us by the local paper. The bids having been opened October 21, we hear nothing of a choice until the issue of November 11, 1876 has the following in its "Kleinigkelten," "The School Trustees after carefully examining the various parcels of land offered for sale for the location of a school house; accepted the tract known as Block B in vineyard lot D3, offered by Messrs Hammel, Denker and Koll for $1500 providing a satisfactory title could be given for the same. The tract contains about two acres of land and is located nearest the center of this School District. On March 3, 1877 we find a very interesting report of the Trustees' meeting in the Gazette. It shows clearly the Gazette giving a recollection of the State. The number of districts in County had been increased three. Los Angeles still receiving $16,536.20, and her old place as number one with $2,177.70 to her career very gratifying indeed. All seemed to be moved beautifully when suddenly the district mutinied threatening to withdraw part of Orangetharpe Days followed. In June School District endeavors rescue of her neighbors to be given a slice from trifle of Anaheim. However Superintendent steered steady hand, reserving his such time as he could pledge the matter. Know being put forth by the Anaheim he deliberated a long time that if pending efforts would be necessary to de boundary of the district of years. The past few months saw a very rapid increaselation of the town. Amounts were one, Hender This man was a teacher and aspired to a position of the local schools.

But since life—there must ever whether the event be "gay" However, this man took part in local organization did "his bit" in helping which we see in a report Gazette of June 23, 1877 "In the address made by son before the Anaheim hty, he alluded to, the school house, and express that no second class editor of the surrounding be built at Anaheim, and has awakened some interest." JOHN P. ZEYN Elected School Trustee May 3, 1867, served until May 3, 1873. Took first School Census, 1874. will be exactly quoted in order to show the carefulness and thoroughness with which the work was done in spite of the time known as the "early days," and frequently regarded as an era of laxness. The notice follows— "Notice to Land Owners Proposals for School House Lot Sealed proposals will be received by the Board of Trustees of Anaheim School District, until Friday, September 15, 1876, at twelve o'clock, M. for a lot of land in said District, to be used for the purpose of erecting a school house thereon. The amount of land required is not less than one or more than two acres. Bids must specify the location of land, and also quantity offered for sale. Bids must also state the terms upon which the land will be sold. All bids must be addressed to Fred W. Athearn, Clerk Board of Trustees, Anaheim School District, and endorsed on the envelope, "Proposals for furnishing through the vacation period when progress, there was a str., educationally, in the State and County, as well as in the Colony. First, we learn that Theodore Reiser's term as trustees having expired, and he not desiring to serve longer because of pressure of business affairs, the lot fell to Henry Kroeger on July 1, 1876.

The tract contains about two acres of land and is located nearest the center of this School District. On March 3, 1877 we find a very interesting report of the Trustees' meeting in the Gazette. It shows clearly that, although they were not given publicity for a period of three months at least, they worked steadily, and faithfully upon the new project. It follows— "The Board of Trustees of the Anaheim School District met at the Gazette office yesterday afternoon. Mr. Rimpau reported that the deed for the school house lot had been received, and was in Recorder's office in Los Angeles. Mr. Kroeger was appointed to attend to the removing the vines from the lot and preparing the ground for the trees. It is proposed to plant a hedge of cypress trees around the lot, leaving a sidewalk outside of the hedge ten feet wide, (this was a very progressive move for sidewalks were almost an "unknown quantity" in the berg at that time.) and to set out shade trees upon the edge of the sidewalk. The Board instructed the clerk to find out what arrangements could be made toward building a school house, and to report at the next meeting. It is the design of the Trustees to proceed as soon as possible to prepare the grounds for a new school house to cost from eight to nine thousand dollars. It is thought that means can be devised to raise four or five thousand without levying a tax. If so, one story can be erected and put in immediate use and in two years more a tax might be levied to complete the balance, if no other method presented itself. As a last resort, the trustees will procure a plan of a building of which one portion can be completed with the money now in the treasury, and use it for the primary department until means can be procured to finish the entire building. The school house lot, ornamented with trees and shrubs, will be an attraction to our town, and as there will be little or no money to spare, it is hoped that those of our citizens who have abundance of trees and shrubs will donate the same to the trustees. Anyone desiring to lend a helping hand in the matter can notify Mr. Henry Kroeger." In persuing the records of Los Angeles County we find a deed dated February 8, 1877, executed by F. W. Koll, Henry Hammel, and Andrew H. Denker in favor of Theo. Rimpau, H. Kroeger and Fred W. Athearn, as school trustees of Anaheim School District, was recorded February 17, 1877 in Book 52, page 276 of Deed Records of Los Angeles County and quotes in part as follows: "In consideration of the sum of fifteen hundred dollars, Gold coin" does grant property described as follows, tobermber 11, 1876 has the following in its "Kleinigkelten," "The School Trustees after carefully examining the various parcels of land offered for sale for the location of a school house; accepted the tract known as Block B in vineyard lot D3, offered by Messrs Hammel Denker, and Koll for $1500, providing a satisfactory title could be given for the same.

Bids must also state the terms upon which the land will be sold. All bids must be addressed to Fred W.

Athearn Clerk Board of Trustees Anaheim School District Anaheim, Aug. 12, 1876." Eight bids were received by the board but all were rejected and we find a new call for bids was made with the stipulation that they would be opened October 16, or soon thereafter. Nine bids were received this time but Mr. Athearn having been called to San Francisco on bulbness, the opening was deferred until Oct. 21. In the mean time a new innovation had come into the educational history of the State. All the School Laws had been gathered up and neatly bound. The state print shop had put out a great many copies and now it was the privilege of State Superintendent E. S. Carr to see that the information contained in these neat booklets was disseminated throughout the state. This he did with great zeal and in the Gazette of September 9, 1876 we see an item stating that "State Sup. Carr has sent a bound copy of the School Law of California" to that worthy paper. A week later we find that Thos A. Saxon published the first "Report of the County School Superintendent" under the heading "Los Angeles, July 1, 1876." To the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County."—In the newspapers of the county, the Gazette receiving a copy for publication. This report gave a summary of all the money handled; also gave the number of census children of the county between the ages of five and seventeen as 9,139. It stated that the minimum allowed was $3.00 per capita therefore In persuasing the records of Los Angeles County we find a deed dated February 8, 1877, executed by F. W. Koll, Henry Hammel, and Andrew H. Denker in favor of Theo. Rimpau, H. Kroeger and Fred W. Athearn, as school trustees of Anaheim School District, was recorded February 17, 1877 in Book 52, page 276 of Deed Records of Los Angeles County and quotes in part as follows: "In consideration of the sum of fifteen hundred dollars, Gold coin" does grant property described as follows, to wit: Block "B" of Vineyard Lot "D3" according to the map of the subdivision of said Vineyard Lot D3 as appears in records attached to a certain deed from Ole Bergson et al to John Fisher as administrator of the estate of Conrad Kuchel deceased, recorded in Book 34, page 590 of Deed Records of Los Angeles County (For plat said map, see Book 53, page 43 of Miscellaneous Records) Block B as referred to in the above map is 360 feet long and 240 feet wide and bounded by the following streets: On the north, by August St.; on the east, by Hedwig St.; on the south by First North St.; and on the west, by Emily St. (The lot here referred to is that occupied by Central Grammar School. Names of streets surrounding it were later on changed by the city trustees, excepting Emily street, and are now known as Cypress on the north, Philadelphia on the east, Chartres on the south and Emily on the west—Ed.). A deed dated March 15, 1877 was executed by Mrs. Kuchel in consideration of one hundred dollars, Gold coin, in favor of Theo. Rimpau, H. Kroeger and Fred W. Athearn as school trustees of Anaheim School District. This document was recorded April 2, 1877 in Book 52, page 528 of Deed Records. The property affected by this deed is identical to the property referred to in the deed by F. W. Koll and others in favor of the trustees of Anaheim School District described to wit: Block "B" of Vineyard Lot D3 as per map records previously mentioned and referred to. The latter deed was made necessary because this Vineyard Lot was involved in litigation for a number of years, and the Board desired to have a perfect title. Under date of March 17, 1877 we find primary department is kept from the Masonic fraternity per month, which is paid county fund If the district of its own $300.00 a year ended in the one item of real land was purchased by Mehdenker and Koll for $1500 been fenced with a cypher was proposed to procure a building which should cost or ten thousand, which such form that a portion directed at once, which it for the primary department a time as ways and means raised the money complete the entire edification this plan not fully exceeds this plan not fully exceeds this cause caused the alarm that needed to have a second school house. We consider operations adopted by these trees to be the best for them in its present condition. Known fact that the property tax last year, when it became abundantly supplied than at the present time, serious opposition. Gentle "Give us an imposing order build us a magnificent set let us eclipse the surround let us build of brick, or or marble," but when it becomes their hands into their making handsome donation such a purpose with that very dull year before them clined to be baulky. If someone who obeyed their din could be summoned to our enterprise none, we be more willing than our price of Trustees to rub fire these days school houses costly buildings are not manner, the motto of Fist best to adopt in the management of costly school houses of the school district. What think you? Is no reasoning that can be applied to similar situations today does not this article give a picture of human nature as we day? Truly, did we not we could readily believe it yesterday instead of fifty years ago. The same issue of the the Gazette giving a record of the apportionment of the State School Funds. The number of districts in Los Angeles County had been increased to fifty-three. Los Angeles still ranked first, receiving $16,536.20, and Anaheim held her old place as number two on the list, with $2,177.70 to her credit. This was very gratifying indeed. All seemed to be moving along most beautifully when suddenly a portion of the district mutinied in May 1877, threatening to withdraw and become part of Orangethorpe District. Stormy days followed. In June Orangethorpe School District endeavored to go to the rescue of her neighbors and petitioned to be given a slice from the School District of Anaheim. However, the County Superintendent steered the bark with a steady hand, reserving his decision until such time as he could properly investigate the matter. Knowing the efforts being put forth by the Anaheim District he deliberated a long time, for he knew that if pending efforts materialized it would be necessary to definitely fix the boundary of the district for a period of years. The past few months and years had seen a very rapid increase in the population of the town. Among the inflow of people was one, Henderson by name. This man was a teacher by profession and aspired to a position on the faculty of the local schools. Consequently he became very enthusiastic in championing the cause of the school and finally succeeded in landing the position of assistant principal, which gave him charge of the grammar department. Sad to relate, after several years of service the Board found it necessary to dismiss the gentleman because of "insubordination"; thus his name has been recorded as the first teacher "fired" by the local board. But such is the irony of life—there must ever be a first, whether the event be "good or ill." However, this man took a very active part in local organizations and certainly did "his bit" in helping the schools, which we see in a report found in the Gazette of June 23, 1877. He says,—"In the address made by Mr. Henderson before the Anaheim Literary Society, he alluded to, the proposed new school house, and expressed the hope that no second class edifice, inferior to those of the surrounding towns, should be built at Anaheim, and as the matter has awakened some interest in the com- contained the lengthy article defending the action of the Board, also announced the expiration of Theo. Rimpau's term upon the school board and named Dr. W. C. Cowan as a candidate for the office. The town's folk expressed their confidence in Mr. Rimpau by a "large majority vote"—he receiving twenty-one votes while his opponent received but one. School opened August 18, 1877 with a staff of three teachers—Prof. J. M. Guinn, Miss A. Des Granges and Miss Austin. The following month the local paper gave notice that the trustees would soon commence building a house for the accommodation of the Primary School on the new school house lot," and that they would hold a meeting to make inquiries relative to building. When the report of the apportionment of the State School Funds was given by Superintendent Saxon on September 22, 1877, it was seen that there were 55 districts. Los Angeles ranked first as usual, having 27 teachers, and receiving $2902.50 and Anaheim still stood second but was not alone for Palomares and Spring (Santa Ana) Districts had grown with leaps and bounds and from now on shared the honors with Anaheim. These districts all had four teachers and received $420.00. This was the first time the State apportionment was made upon the basis of number of teachers employed. (Continued Next Week) The girls of the present generation have proved that it is not necessary to wear hoop skirts in order to make whoopee. A Vienna doctor suggests that the way to reduce is to drink garlic juice. That certainly would be one way of reducing one's friends. Tax Collector Busy This Week County Tax Collector Lamb's office force is overwhelmed this week with belated taxpayers who are flocking in to pay their dues. An extra force of clerks has been added to handle the congestion. The collector urged those who have not yet made their appearances for the second installment to come with the description of the property on which they are paying taxes. "It is almost impossible to get refunds from payments made on the wrong property," Lamb stated, "and those coming in should have the proper description of the property on which they are paying, such as a deed; old tax bill or description. Those who wait until the last minute and then mail their remittances should have patience in waiting for their receipts. It takes a long time to work out the heavy mail that accumulates. Last December, on the final day, we had between 10,000 and 15,000 unopened letters in the office to take care of." "It also is important that time should be allowed to work out any mistakes such as drawing a check on the wrong bank or forgetting to sign the check, for the penalty attaches if these mistakes are not corrected before the time limit expires." A famous physician says there are 200,000,000 pounds of excess fat on the American people. Think how much there must have been a generation ago when the corn fed girl was at the height of her popularity.
