HISTORY OF OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS Development and Growth of Educational System During 69 Years, from 1859 to 1928 By ELENORA ALICE PARKER Sixth Installment, Continued from Our Last Week's Issue. The proposition of building without the funds in sight was a serious and perplexing problem for the poor board. The demands for a new building were very insistent and the lack of funds a stern reality. Finally they believed they had found a solution of the problem, as we see in an item under "Kleinigkeit" in the Gazette of September 29, 1877. It follows— "The Board of Trustees of Anaheim School District held a meeting on Tuesday afternoon at the Gazette office. It was resolved to call upon the citizens of the town to assist the Trustees in erecting a new school building on the lot recently purchased of Hammel, Denker and Koll, by requesting them to become security for the sum of $3000.00 to be borrowed by the Trustees to be used for building purposes. There is now $1400.00 in the building fund, and with $3000.00 more a handsome structure can be built. This method is far preferable to that of raising the money by a tax at present. To pay the sum borrowed, there will be nearly a $1000.00 surplus in the county school fund next year. The old school house property can be sold whenever it shall be deemed advisable, and the balance due will be but a slight burden on the people if raised even by one tax, or if by two, would be almost unfeit. The money now paid for the rent of the building used by the Primary Department will almost pay the entire interest on the money borrowed. A subscription paper will be put in circulation at an early day, and if the plan meets with the approval of the people we shall soon have a substantial school house." But this plan did not "meet with the approval of the people" and the poor Board found itself in a worse predicament than before. Their views are not clear. Notice that there were 55 districts and Los Angeles still headed the list, having received the most money—$16453.90. Anaheim, however, had surrendered second place to the Spring District (Santa Ana), which received $2225.97 and now stood third on the list, with $2220.72 to her credit. The silence at Sacramento had varying effects upon the town's people but the Trustees, ever hopeful, endeavored to keep up the spirits and faith of their fellow townsmen. The Gazette of March 30, 1878 tells us that "The new school lot is being planted with poplar, Italian cypress and other trees, under the superintendence of H. Kroeger. Behold! We find an article in the Gazette of April 13, 1878 bearing "The School House Bill." This caused great excitement, joy and hope to abound in the Colony and was a source of deepest satisfaction to the faithful few who had labored so earnestly. It follows— "A certified copy of the Senate Bill, number 398, was received by the Board of Trustees on Tuesday evening. This is an Act to provide for the building of a school house in Anaheim School District. The Board of Trustees of the School District are authorized to issue the bonds of said district for any amount not exceeding $10,000.00, bearing interest at the rate of ten percent per annum payable semi-annually on the second Monday of January and July of each year after their issuance. Said bonds shall be payable in gold coin on the first day of July in the year 1893. The bonds are to be issued in denominations of one-hundred, or some multiple of one hundred dollars, with coupons attached for interest to accrue. The Board is authorized to convert the school that all possible uses were true to their pledge article in the Gazette of which follows— "The New School." "The trustees of Anaheim School District held a meeting on Tuesday afternoon at the Gazette office. It was resolved to call upon the citizens of the town to assist the Trustees in erecting a new school building on the lot recently purchased of Hammel, Denker and Koll, by requesting them to become security for the sum of $3000.00 to be borrowed by the Trustees to be used for building purposes. There is now $1400.00 in the building fund, and with $3000.00 more a handsome structure can be built. This method is far preferable to that of raising the money by a tax at present.

The money now paid for the rent of the building used by the Primary Department will almost pay the entire interest on the money borrowed.

Probably the wonder-tained from almost forbear brought about a new in-school life of the com-mon that on June 8, had its first picnic, while the Santiago Canyon (no) and the local newspaper everyone had a "perfect" The Gazette of June menting upntothe closing spoke of the excellence lines but commented on the reading which was expression and modu-less reading can only advisable, and the balance due will be but a slight burden on the people if raised even by one tax, or if by two, would be almost unfelt. The money now paid for the rent of the building used by the Primary Department will almost pay the entire interest on the money borrowed. A subscription paper will be put in circulation at an early day, and if the plan meets with the approval of the people we shall soon have a substantial school house. But this plan did not "meet with the approval of the people" and the poor Board found itself in a worse predication than before. Truly, theirs was no enviable position. While these martyrs are struggling with insurmountable difficulties we will turn aside and take a passing glance at educational matters in the county for they too had their influence upon the Jocal school. A keen interest was felt among local folk when the announcement was made that T. A. Saxon, an Anaheimer, and acting County Superintendent of Schools, received his Life Diploma May 26, 1877. It must be remembered that but few had been granted in the county up to this time. In November Supt. Saxon sent out notice of the regular annual Teachers' Institute, but this time there was something new in the announcement. For the first time the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Prof. E. S. Carr would be present and take part upon the programme. In the Kleinketten of the Gazette of November 24, 1877 we find this notice also—"The Teachers' Institute will commence in Los Angeles on Monday and will continue in session until Friday. The public school will necessarily be closed during the week, the law making the attendance of teachers compulsory. Prof. J. M. Guinn, of Anaheim, will deliver a lecture some evening during the week. His subject will be "Foundations; or Training vs. Teaching." Prof. Allen of the Normal School (San Jose) and Mrs. Carr, Deputy State Superintendent will also deliver lectures." But lecturing before Institute was not all that Prof. Guinn did that week. He spent much time working upon his pet idea of a legislative bill and we shall soon see that his labor during these many wearying months was not in vain. The Trustees had stepped out upon faith and asked for plans to be presented for the proposed school and from the Gazette we learn that "Mr. Stappenback presented two plans for a new school house to the Trustees at a meeting in Judge Athaearn's office." These were carefully inspected and the same publication gives a report of the next Trustees meeting in its Kleinketten of January 26, 1878. It said— "At the last meeting of the Board of School Trustees it was agreed to prepare a petition to the State Legislature for the passage of a bill allowing the Anaheim School District to issue bonds for a sum of money sufficient to complete the school house. To finish a building in accordance with the plans or a school house in Anaheim School District. The Board of Trustees of the School District are authorized to issue the bonds of said district for any amount not exceeding $10,000.00, bearing interest at the rate of ten percent per annum, payable semi-annually on the second Monday of January and July of each year after their issuance. Said bonds shall be payable in gold coin on the first day of July in the year 1803. The bonds are to be issued in denominations of one-hundred, or some multiple of one hundred dollars, with coupons attached for interest to accrue. The Board is authorized to convert the bonds into money by selling the same to the highest bidder, after advertising for at least twenty days for sealed proposals to purchase said bonds. No bonds shall be sold at a discount of more than fifteen per cent. The Act provides that the money so procured shall be used exclusively in paying for and furnishing said school house, and in improvements of the lot belonging to the district and the payment of incidental expenses. Within three months after the issuance of any bonds and thereafter in every second year, until all bonds and the interest thereon are fully paid, one District Assessor and Tax Collector shall be elected by the qualified electors of the district. The first assessment shall be made immediately after the assessor shall qualify for office, and the subsequent assessments shall be commenced upon the first Monday in March, and finished and delivered to the Trustees on the second Monday in April each year, when the Board of Trustees shall sit as a Board of Equalization, for at least three and not more than eight days. As soon as the work of equalization is completed a tax must be levied sufficient in each year to pay all the expenses accruing on all the bonds issued during the year, and all the expenses of collection of said tax, also sufficient to create a redemption fund of not less than $250, nor more than $2000 annually. Sald taxes shall be a lien upon all—the property in the district upon which they are assessed, which lien shall attach in each year on the second Monday in May and shall continue until the said taxes are fully paid, or until the property vests in a purchaser under a valid sale for the satisfaction of such taxes. The tax Assessor and Collector shall have the same authority as the County Assessor and Collector. The County treasurer must keep the money in a separate fund. Whenever there shall be $500 in the Interest and Redemption Fund in excess of the amount required to pay the interest for that year, the Board of Trustees give notice that proposals will be received for the surrender of the bonds and accept the lowest bids offered until they have accepted an amount sufficient to exhaust the money in said fund, provided no bid for more than par value shall be accepted. In the year 1893 there shall be levied and collected a tax sufficient to pay all bonds then remaining unpaid. The Tax Assessor probably wandered from almost forgetful brought about a new introduction learn that on June 8, had its first picnic, while the Santiago Canyon (no) and the local newspaper everyone had a "perfect" meeting upo nthe closing spoke of the excellence lines but commented on reading which was expression and modus such reading can only great skill and hard work teacher and pupils."

It follows—Number of children in under 117 years of age Number of children in between 5 and 17 years (This was the basis of Number of children und Number of children att Stappenback presented two plans for a new school house to the Trustees at a meeting in Judge Athearn's office." These were carefully inspected and the same publication gives a report of the next Trustees meeting in its Kleinkoeten of January 26, 1878. It said— "At the last meeting of the Board of School Trustees it was agreed to prepare a petition to the State Legislature for the passage of a bill allowing the Anaheim School District to issue bonds for a sum of money sufficient to complete the school house. To finish a building in accordance with the plans presented will require about $8000.00, which is more than can be raised by a tax levied upon the District. The plan of bonding the District seems to us to be the most feasible method of accomplishing the result. If the bonds are paid by a tax levied upon the District every two or three years, it will make the burden light upon our already over-taxed citizens, and allow those who shall come to us in after years the pleasure of paying for a portion of the benefits we have prepared for them. A meeting will be held next Saturday, at which the petition will be presented and the subject discussed. We are in hopes that all those who feel an interest in the cause of education and the progress and welfare of the town will be present, and by their council and advice encourage the trustees, who have taken the matter in hand. There is always so much sald of bills being prepared and sent to the Legislature without the citizens being aware of the contents thereof, the trustees are particularly anxious that all who desire should be present at the meeting, to state their objections, if they have any, and to suggest any amendments which they may think will be beneficial." The meeting was largely attended. Prof. Guinn willingly explained matters in detail and gave the meeting the benefit of his research extending over a period of months. The petition blanks were circulated and many signers procured. These blanks were also worked upon for several days following the meeting, until the workers felt satisfied that the Legislature must recognize the sentiments of the community. When all was ready the papers were carried to Sacramento. On March 23, 1878 the County school apportionment was again made. We must keep the money in a separate fund. Whenever there shall be $500 in the Interest and Redemption Fund in excess of the amount required to pay the interest for that year, the Board of Trustees shall give notice that proposals will be received for the surrender of the bonds and accept the lowest bids offered until they have accepted an amount sufficient to exhaust the money in said fund, provided no bid for more than par value shall be accepted. In the year 1893 there shall be levied and collected a tax sufficient to pay all bonds then remaining unpaid. The Tax Assessor and Collector shall receive a compensation for services not to exceed $175.00 per annum. No other officers shall receive any compensation for duties. The Board is authorized to sell the present school lot whenever they may deem it best and apply the proceeds of such sale to the defraying of the expenses of building the new school house or to the redemption of the bonds. From the time of the issuance of any bonds until their payment and redemption, the boundaries of the district as now constituted and known shall not be diminished. Concerning this Bill Prof. Guinn says in his "History and Biography of Southern California," "In 1877 Prof. J. M. Guinn who had been principal of the Anaheim school for eight years, drafted a bill authorizing the district to issue bonds to the amount of $10,000. He was instrumental in securing its passage by the legislature. It became a law March 12, 1878. The bonds were sold at par and the school building costing over $10,000 was built out of the proceeds. This was one of the first, if not the first, instance in the state of incorporating and bonding a school district to secure funds to build a school house—a method that since has become quite common and has given to California the best district school houses of any state in the Union." Truly this is something that Anaheim can and should always be justly proud of. Her pioneering in the educational field has meant much to the State at large and should not be overlooked. The Board immediately held a meeting at Justice Athearn's office to take action in accordance with the new law enacted especially to give them the desired power to issue bonds for the purpose of building a school house, and a pledge was given the patrons of the tinally a very desirable housing, for the school converted into a certain interesting to take a pay report of the Census Anahelm District, render 1878.

An article appearing in June 15, 1878 is quoted: "The Board of School on Wednesday afternoon Messrs. Rimpau and Kropping bids for construction house were opened. Edward Fickett of Los Angeles ... P. C. McKinnie of Anaheim A. C. Stappenback of Anaheim ... It was resolved that above bids and on prochase bonds be deferred Monday when Mr. Athearn trustee, will be present.

Sealed proposals to purchase Anaheim School District County, for the amount bearing interest at the rate per annum, payable school that all possible haste would be used to erect the building. That they were true to their pledge is seen in an article in the Gazette of May 18, 1878, which follows— "The New School House." "The trustees of Anaheim School District on Saturday last decided upon a plan for the new school building. As a number of elegant designs were sent in response to the advertisement for plans, it was a difficult matter to determine upon the one most suitable for the purpose, but after careful deliberation the plan presented by Messrs. Boggs and Ripley, of Los Angeles was adopted and the architects notified to commence upon the specifications and details, which will be ready in about two weeks, when advertisements for proposals will be made. The building intended by the trustees will be an elegant structure two stories high and lighted after the most improved style. The rooms will be large and well ventilated at dine conveniences everything which could be desired. The building will cost about $9000.00. It is to be hoped that our own carpenters and builders will bestir themselves in the matter of proposals for building, as there is no reason why the money to be expended in the building should not be expended in our own town. As soon as the specifications are completed every facility will be offered to builders everywhere to make their estimates. A number of proposals to purchase the bonds of the School District have been received but no action has yet been taken in the matter of selling them by the trustees as their disposal is an easy matter. A school district of seven square miles, with $500,000 worth of assessed property, is security of which capitalists have no fear. Probably the wonderful results obtained from almost forbidding prospects brought about a new innovation in the school life of the community for we learn that on June 8, 1878 the school had its first picnic, which was held in the Santiago Canyon (now Irvine Park) and the local newspaper reported that everyone had a "perfectly jolly time." The Gazette of June 8, 1878, commenting upon the closing examinations spoke of the excellence of work in all lines but commented especially upon the reading which was "excellent in expression and modulation" saying much reading can only be attained by as authorized by Senate Bill 398, passed March 18th, 1878 will be received by the Board of Trustees of Anaheim School District until July 8th, 1878. The Board of Trustees reserve the right to reject any and all bids. All bids must be made in writing and addressed to the clerk of the Board of Trustees. By order of the Board of Trustees of Anaheim School District. Fred W. Athcarn, Clerk Anaheim, Los Angeles County, June 17, 1878. (b) "Sealed Proposals. Sealed proposals will be received at this office until Monday, July 8th, at ten o'clock A.M. for erecting a school building as per plan and specifications on file. A deposit of $250.00 in coin, or certified check, must accompany each bid and when the contract is let a bond in full amount of contract price will be required to insure a faithful performance of contract. The Board reserves the right to reject any and all bids. Fred W. Athcarn, Clerk." That these proposals brought the desired results will be seen in an item taken from the "Kleinigkelten" of the Gazette of July 13, 1878, which says, "At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Anaheim School District, held on Monday last, the contract for the building was awarded to Mr. G. L. Leonard, of Los Angeles for $9,100.00. The offer of Messrs. Perry, Woodworth and Company to purchase the bonds of the School District at par, half gold and half silver was accepted." That the contractor and trustees lost no time in making preparations, is learned from an article in the same publication two weeks later, a part of which is quoted— "Mr. Leonard (contractor) has made a contract with Mr. Schindler for the brick work and excavations necessary for the foundation, which is to be finished on or before August 3rd. The trustees will commence the boring of a well upon the lot immediately. The well will be bored down to the gravel, a distance of 90- or 100 feet, so as to obtain a good flow of water from the lower strata. A tank and windmill will be erected at some future day." (Continued Next Week) Cause of Many Auto Accidents How much do you actually know about the power that is in your car? The statistical department of the Division of Motor Vehicles today attributed a large number of fatal accidents to the ignorance of motorists about the power possibilities of motor vehicles. Computations made by this department, it was announced, show that 60 percent of all fatal accidents occur on straight roads, in good weather and with cars driven by experienced drivers. In most of these cases the element of speed was involved. "The average man does not realize the tremendous amount of power his car possesses," Frank G. Snook, chief of the division, said. "A railroad engineer is required to put in long hours studying the power possibilities of his locomotive. Not so with the motorist. He drives his car without realizing the tremendous power it is capable of developing." The statistical department finds that a car actually moves 58.6 feet a second when going at the legal rate of forty miles an hour. To stop the average 3,500 pound car going at forty miles an hour within a distance of one foot would require the pull of 400 horses in an opposite direction. The same power needed to propel a car at forty miles an hour would move a block of steel weighing 200,000 pounds at the rate of one foot per second. The man who drives his car forty miles an hour is travelling close to 70 feet per second. If he is not a quick thinker when an emergency arises, he may travel as much as 150 feet before actually applying his brakes. Probably the wonderful results obtained from almost forbidding prospects brought about a new innovation in the school-life of the community for we learn that on June 8, 1878 the school had its first picnic, which was held in the Santaingo Canyon (now Irvine Park) and the local newspaper reported that everyone had a "perfectly jolly time." The Gazette of June 8, 1878, commenting upon the closing examinations spoke of the excellence of work in all lines but commented especially upon the reading which was "excellent in expression and modulation" saying "such reading can only be attained by great skill and hard work by both teacher and pupils." In speaking of an address given at the close, by Rev. Mr. Trew, the writer said he "addressed the assembly in an instructive and forcible speech, pointing out to the pupils the high careers that were open to them." He warmly recommended them to make "Duty" their motto, to stick to duty at all hazards and they might be assured of accomplishing a good result. "Mr. Henderson being called upon, addressed the company in a stirring speech. He reminded the boys that they could hardly expect to become Presidents or Governors, but were very likely to be carpenters, shoemakers and blacksmiths. He urged them to learn their trades well, to be first rate in whatever business they chose and not at the same time to neglect that cultivation of mind and refinement of taste that would make their lives graceful and beautiful however humble their callings in life might be." When Mr. Henderson had closed, Rev. Trew again rose to relate to the children the fact that no less a personage than the future King of England is himself an excellent shoemaker, he, with all Queen Victoria's children, having learned trades. With such admonitions and suggestions frequently impressed upon the minds of the children, was it a wonder that faithfulness and thoroughness in all lines was a distinctive mark of that period? Might it not be beneficial to the present generation, as well as to the future, to inject more of this kind of instruction into the life of the schools of this camouflaging era, when the thought uppermost in the minds of the youth seemingly is to "get by" with as little labor, concentration and time as is possible? A little more of the stalwart "old-time" backing for the present-day veneering of bold fronts is certainly a very desirable quality. Now, that the possibility of adequate housing for the school children was converted into a certainty, it may be interesting to take a passing glance at the report of the Census Marshal of the Anaheim District, rendered in June 1878. It follows— Number of children in the district under 117 years of age ... 450 Number of children in the district between 5 and 17 years of age ... 345 (This was the basis of apportionment) Number of children under 5 years 105 Number of children attending a contract with Mr. Schindler for the brick work and excavations necessary for the foundation, which is to be finished on or before August 3rd. The trustees will commence the boring of a well upon the lot immediately. The well will be bored down to the gravel, a distance of 90- or 100 feet, so as to obtain a good flow of water from the lower strata. A tank and windmill will be erected at some future day."

We shall follow them carefully through each step in order that we may see the care and thoroughness exercised by them. An article appearing in the Gazette of June 15, 1878 is quoted in part— "The Board of School Trustees met on Wednesday afternoon. Present Messrs. Rlmaup and Kroeger. The following bids for constructing the school house were opened. Edward Fickett of Los Angeles ... $ 8,650.00 P. C. McKinnle of Anaheim ... 10,380.00 A. C.

It would seem as if a building of such magnitude should have drawn forth a lively competition."
