HISTORY OF OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS Development and Growth of Educational System During 69 Years, from 1859 to 1928 By ELENORA ALICE PARKER Tenth Installment, Continued from Our Last Week's Issue. The first year Prof. C. P. Evans was principal, assisted by Miss Helen G. French. The second year Miss Flora V. Richards was added to the faculty. The third year Fred G. Athearn became principal. The other members of the faculty were Miss Flora V. Richards, Alva G. Remmel and Miss Purl E. Bottomes. Mr. Remmel was assigned science, but there was no laboratory. Since there was no room elsewhere, it was decided to insert a skylight into the roof and utilize a part of the attic. This was done, and some of us have very vivid recollections of the things that transpired there. On hot days the atmosphere was almost unbearable, especially when we could not take proper care of the fumes of chemicals. We did find some advantages however, for, when we took up the study of spiders, bees, bats mice and owls there was a goodly supply in both belfry and attic. The town grew rapidly and the school rooms were all over crowded. Mr. Athearn conceived the idea of erecting a great big high school building that would serve the community for years. The plan was pushed and in a remarkably short time bonds were voted, plans drawn and bids called for. In the Gazette of March 14, 1901 we see this—The election on Tuesday, for the issuance of $12,000 bonds for the erection of a high school carried by a vote of 87 in favor to 19 against the bonds. Little opposition to the bonds developed in town, most of the votes against the measure coming from the outlying sections. There are 58 pupils in the high school, only one of whom is front outside the district. He is charged with Strehle bid $7,650, D. T. Hill of Pasadena $8,450, and C. H. Smith of Fullerton $9,086. Contract was awarded to Croner and Ingraham, who will be gin work forthwith. The building is to be completed by January 1." A four room building having the usual number of cloak rooms, hall, etc., was erected immediately and was called the Primary School, since the first and second grades were transferred to it. The enrollment in these grades was very large and it was thought some of the playground problems could be easily solved by putting these grades into the new building. Some years later, when a readjustment of grades was thought expedient, the name of this building was changed to Broadway School, by which name it is still known. As the population increased and educational ideas changed, an unrest became noticeable in the south-western part of the district. The trustees then erected a school there for the convenience of the children from that section and named the building Katella School. All went well for a time then the spirit of unrest manifested itself again and Kattella withdrew from the Anaheim School District. It did not take long for the patrons to see their mistake, and to realize that their children were the losers. This fact having been established a new era of unrest manifested itself and they soon asked to be returned to the Anaheim District. The request was granted. But, as is always the case where factionalism exists, criticisms soon began to be heard about everything the Board sent them—not excepting the teacher. A revolt was soon in progress. It grew by leaps and bounds. class room building, a science building, a gym shop and a auto and car wash was the objective of this. In July 1921, the three school districts of Savannah and Cypress became a parish Union High School later the district of Lauderdale. The present plant (1923) helm Union High School eleven fine buildings, a combining garage storage class rooms having received. The growth of the school steady, and with increase in instructors. The faculty 1926-27 numbered 43. Eve is offered in the way of man equipment. The high library is one of the finest having 8619 volumes valued at $12,900. Free is furnished to students lance from the school in designed school buses. The Anaheim Union ranks among the first on ed list of schools of the city. Nor is this all accompanied July 13, 1926, the Trust structured by the qualified purchase lot number 10 man Tract, for $1000.00 fee of furnishing a site for use for Americanization work. The school now employs teachers for this work at five schools, three of which ed property. In September 1927—the chased two additional acer High School purposes for leased two additional acer option to purchase upon said lease. An excellent idea of this work done may be glanced at the 1927-28 "Revenue Account." Teachers' Salaries ... Other Salaries ... In the Gazette of March 14, 1901 we see this—"The election on Tuesday, for the issuance of $12,000 bonds for the erection of a high school carried by a vote of 87 in favor to 19 against the bonds. Little opposition to the bonds developed in town, most of the votes against the measure coming from the outlying sections. There are 58 pupils in the high school, only one of whom is front outside the district. He is charged a tuition of $5,00 per term, the same fee charged at the Fullerton school. The charge at Santa Ana is $30.00. On May 9, 1901 the Gazette says—"We have on our front page this morning an illustration of the new high school building to be erected in this city. Bids for its erection will be opened tomorrow. The building and its contents are to cost $13,000,00. The structure will have a frontage of 113 feet and a depth of 96 feet. It will be brick veneered and of the Moorish style of architecture, one story and basement, with the roofing. The entrance will have a stone front. The tower will contain the bell. The building will be fitted with gas and electric lighting fixtures. The architect is J. H. Bradbeer of Los Angeles. The building will be when completed, one of the finest in Southern California. The site will be the Garnsey tract on Center Street. (608 W. Center Street) The first floor will contain four large classrooms, one large laboratory, a large business room, one assembly hall with a seating capacity of 300, library room, office and store room. In the basement there will be a janitor's room, property room, two large recitation rooms, lunch room, etc. The principal of the high school is Fred G. Athearn to whom great credit is due for his energy and perseverance in advocating the necessity for the building. Prof. E. B. Chapp of the University of California visited the high school last week and reported in favor of accrediting it in all its branches. This will give graduates, the right to enter the state university without the necessity of passing an examination at Berkeley." On May 16, 1901 it says—"The school trustees, on Friday evening last, opened six bids for the erection of the new high school building to be erected in this city. McWilliams and Dunn of this city were awarded the contract, their old being $12,663.75. Ground was broken for the building on Tuesday." (May 14) Again it says, "Mr. Clabaugh of the school board appeared before the board (this was part of the report given of the meeting of the town trustees) and asked for free light and water for the new high school. On motion of Trustee Schneider, seconded by Trustee Weisel, application was granted." The new building was constructed rapidly and the city was justly proud of her new possession—the first High School building in the district and the At this point let us pause a few minutes to look at the development and growth of the High School. As previously stated Prof. C. P. Evans of the Loarra school was the leader and organizer of our present high school. He had many problems to solve as well as factual difficulties to face. Had it not been for his perseverance and experience as an educator of our state, we probably would have been without a high school for many years. When school opened in September 1898 there were twenty-two pupils enrolled two classes, and two courses—the Literary and Scientific—offered. The school belonged entirely to the Anahmel School District and was under the supervision of the same school board that cared for the grade schools. However the Magnolia District received permission for any of its pupils to attend, should they desire to do so. In this way Prof. Evans was enabled to secure the necessary number of students to open the school. Arthur G. Baker, now an attorney in Los Angeles, was one of the two pupils who came from that district. He attended here throughout his high school course. Charles Sears was the other, but his family moved north during the third year, so he was lost to the school. In 1901 the enrollment had leaped to 58, as we have already learned. The next year showed a still greater growth for we learn from a report made by Principal Taylor in 1920 that the enrollment was 74. In 1905 the enrollment was given as 79. During the next twenty-three years many changes occurred and we find the enrollment for 1928 was seven hundred and there were ten courses offered. In 1908 the Loarra District asked for admission to the Anahmel High School District. (It will be remembered that she withdrew from the Anahmel High School District in 1904). The question and request was so complicated that it was referred to the State Attorney and he declared Loarra to be still a part of the high school district. The same year (1908) Magnolia District began to feel she should have a voice in matters pertaining to the welfare of her pupils so petitioned to be annexed to the district. After many conferences of the three Boards the Anahmel Union High School District formed. This necessitated a senate well-written manifest itself again and Kattella withdrew from the Anahmel School District. It did not take long for the patrons to see their mistake, and to realize that their children were the losers. This fact having been established a new era of unrest manifested itself and they soon asked to be returned to the Anahmel District. The request was granted. But, as is always the case where factionalism exists, criticisms soon began to be heard about everything the Board sent them—not excepting the teacher. A revolt was soon in progress. It grew by leaps and bounds, and terminated in the formation of the district still known as Katella District in February 5, 1913.

the new high school. On motion of Trustee Schneider, seconded by Trustee Welsol, application was granted." The new building was constructed rapidly and the city was justly proud of her new possession—the first High School building in the district and the third to be erected in Orange County. This relieved the crowded conditions of the grades for a time, but not for long. The south-eastern part of the district had developed the most rapidly, so the trustees determined to favor this section by erecting a school out a little that way. The result was a bond election was called but was defeated because of several misunderstandings. Some weeks later a committee of ten composed of patrons, met with the trustees. This resulted in three consecutive meetings for the consideration of the matter. Soon a bond election for $10,000 was called and carried. Soon a block of ground at the south east corner of Broadway and Olive Streets was purchased by the Board. We find a Deed to the Anaheim School District, from Ernest Kossert dated August 11, 1904, and recorded October 13, 1904 covering the following described property: "All of Lots Twenty-four to Twenty-nine inclusive, and also all of Lots Forty-two to Fifty-eight inclusive being twenty-three lots in all and all being in Block 'D' of the Hotel Del Campo Tract, of said City of Anaheim, County and State aforesaid; as per map of said tract recorded in Book 24, pages 69 and 70 of Miscellaneous Records of Los Angeles County, California. The purchase price of this parcel is stated as $475,00." The above information is taken from the records of the County Recorder of Orange County. In the Gazette of October 13, 1904, we read the following— "School trustees at their meeting on Monday evening opened four bids for constructing the now primary school building on Broadway and Olive Streeta. The successful bidder was George Croner and G. D. Ingraham of Fullerton, whose figures were $7,400. Mr. class room building, a new domestic science building, a gymnasium, a new shop and a new auto and machine shop was the objective of this issue. In July 1921, the three elementary school districts of Savanna, Contrailia and Cypress became a part of the Anaheim Union High School District and later the district of Laurel was also added. The present plant (1928) of the Anaheim Union High School comprises eleven fine buildings, a large building combining garage storage rooms and class rooms having recently been added. The growth of the school has been steady, and with increased facilities has come an increase in the number of instructors. The faculty of the term 1926-27 numbered 43. Every advantage is offered in the way of modern courses and equipment. The high school library is one of the finest in the County, having 8619 volumes valued at approximately $12,900. Free transportation is furnished to students living at a distance from the school in the specially designed school busses. The Anaheim Union High School ranks among the first on the all-credited list of schools of the state. Nor is this all accomplished for on July 13, 1926, the Trustees were instructed by the qualified meeting to purchase lot number 10 in Mary Goodman Tract, for $1000.00 for the purpose of furnishing a site for a school to be used for Americanization work. This venture was so successful that we find on November 7, 1927, another site was ordered purchased, this to be Lot 32, Tract 585 at Independencia, also for Americanization work. The school now employs two regular teachers for this work and maintains five schools, three of which are in rented property. In September 1927 the district purchased two additional acres of land for High School purposes for $10,000.00 and leased two additional acres with the option to purchase upon the expiration of said lease. An excellent idea of the envirnment of the work done may be obtained by a glance at the 1927-28 "Report on Warrant Account."

Indications are for a dry summer, experts say, with its attendant danger of fires caused by carelessness or man or by electrical storms. Joining with the state in the coming summer campaign against fire is Orange county, which last year spent $35,405 in forest and fire protection. "A growing spirit of cooperation is manifesting itself throughout California in this eternal problem of fighting fire," declares State Forester M. B. Pratt. Twenty seven counties have signed agreements with the state, whereby they pool money and men with the state to combat the flames. We will face the approaching summer better prepared than ever before to hold down the fire scourge. Much of our trouble heretofore has been a lack of cooperation between various units which should join forces to protect themselves. I have personally visited each of the counties already signed and a fine spirit exists in every one of them. Before June 15 we hope to have many more counties signed up on a county-state agreement." A determined effort to prevent disastrous experiences of 1929 is being made by the county and state organizations, according weather until late morning. Dr. V Farm State-w sociation week in in the crop to large meter was also best job has produced County from in disease sequence ers have large t In September 1927 the district purchased two additional acres of land for High School purposes for $10,000.00 and leased two additional acres with the option to purchase upon the expiration of said lease. An excellent idea of the enprmity of the work done may be obtained by a glance at the 1927-28 "Report on Warrant Account."

In the five languages taught we find this enrollment—English 600, Spanish 180, Latin 90, French 25, German 20. The National Sciences claimed 212. The History department 495; Chemistry 100; Physic 25; Mathematics 400; Art 45; Domestic Science, 50 in sewing, while 14 looms were constantly occupied and some taking leather work, which brings the number in this department to about 75; Athletics boasted of three football teams, each having its own coach. The Music Department keeps two "full time" teachers and one "half time" teacher constantly busy. Here we find an excellent orchestra, a girls' glee club a boys' glee club, and another glee club of mixed voices. There were also 30 piano pupils enrolled. In the shops we find—12 in the Print Shop, 140 in the Wood Shop, and about 20 in the Machine and Auto Shop. Truly a growth and record to be proud of. The principals who have lent their talent in developing this splendid $200,-000 plant are as follows: C. P. Evans, 1898; Fred G. Athearn, 1900; C. E. Taylor, 1902; H. F.

Continued Next Week Wiping Out Debt The Department of Finance has officially wiped out $657,962 of the huge debt in reclamation charges that has faced farmers of the Sacramento Valley for nearly a decade by cancelling warrants in this amount drawn against Projects No. 2 and 6, the Sutter-Butte by-pass and Sacramento River outlet projects. This action, the first major application of Governor Young's program to relieve the landowners from the tangle was made possible when the reclamation board approved purchases of No. 6 warrants amounting to $579,340 at par and accrued interest and No. 2 warrants amounting to $78,622 at par and accrued interest, under the plan of financing outlined some weeks ago by Lyman M. King, Director of Finance. The discounts secured by the state under the plan made it possible to secure $657,692 worth of warrants at a net figure of $338,415. The net saving thus affected was $319,547. However the landowners may count themselves $657,962 richer by the retirement of these warrants inasmuch as all the warrants were chargeable against the lands involved under the original assessments. Lyman M. King, Director of Finance, declared this only the beginning of a series of savings to the landowners that will run into millions ultimately and will result final yin relieving the farmers of the valley of a financial burden that has threatened them for years. King said it was hoped to retire another large block of warrants on the same basis within a month as hundreds of inquiries are being received from warrant holders concerning the finance department's offer to purchase No. 6 warrants at 50 per cent of their par value and accrued interest. No. 2 warrants in this group were purchased... The Orange County records for 1926-27 contain the following summary of the Anaheim Union High School—Composed of 8 districts.

(2) C. P. Evens first Principal—salary $100.00 per month. (3) First Trustees also were the trustees of the grade schools. Board composed of J. H. Clabaugh, president; Dr. J. S. Gardiner, clerk; T. A.

The Gazette of February 20, 1902 says, "The Stentorian, the new monthly publication issued by the pupils of the High School has made its initial appearance." First Special Music Teacher employed. Miss Edna Ames—salary, the magnificent sum of $25.00 per month. She was required to teach at High Central, King said it was hoped to retire another large block of warrants on the same basis within a month as hundreds of inquiries are being received from warrant holders concerning the finance department's offer to purchase No. 6 warrants at 50 per cent of their par value and accrued interest. No. 2 warrants in this group were purchased at 62 per cent of par and accrued interest. The retirement of the warrants cancelled today will mean a saving in interest charges alone of $28,000 annually. Among the warrants approved for purchase in this block were offerings from such institutions as Anglo-London, Paris Bank, Freeman, Smith & Camp Co., Bank of Italy, Continental Insurance Company an dothers. "The soundness and fairness of our plan is indicated b y the fact that these financial leaders are willing to accept it," said King. Retirement of warrants under Governor Young's plan was made possible by the federal appropriation of $4,370,000 plus $1,300,000 appropriated by the state. King announced the department would continue to buy No. 6 warrants at 50 percent of the par value and accrued interest and No. 2 warrants at 62 percent of par and accrued interest until these funds have been exhausted. Every mail is bringing in several letters containing offers to sell at these prices, he said. Newspapers have commented a great deal on the fact that John D. Rockefeller of late has been giving out nickels instead of dimes. Maybe he is trying to help the metal market by putting bigger chuncks in circulation. It is said that Secretary Simson swung Indian clubs while at London for the naval conference to keep himself fit. Wait till Frederick J. Libby hears of this! An internationalist is a man who thinks that Uncle Sam ought to feed the world and let Europe hit his hand if it wants to.

To prevent disas-2929 is being made to organizations, according to Pratt. Unprecedented dry weather kept the fire menace acute until late in December. Starting on March 1, the University of California, in conjunction with the state Division of Forestry, started giving fire prevention demonstrations in counties. Fifty demonstrations were held in 16 counties up to the first of May. A total attendance of over 11,000 persons visited the meetings and the work is still continuing. "It's an old story when we start giving warnings on how to prevent fires," said Pratt, "but one that must be repeated each year. Be sure your cigarettes, cigars and matches are out before throwing them away. Don't start fires near inflammable wood or when high winds are blowing. Bury the embers when your desert your fires." "If Californians would observe these rules we would not have losses to our timber running into a million dollars or more each year." Expert Inspects Beet Fields Dr. W. W. Robbins of the University Farm at Davis, and secretary of the State-wide Sugar Beet Conference Association, was in Orange County this week to ascertain the condition existing in the sugar beet fields. He found the crop to be well advanced and the beets of large size already, both as to diameter and length. An excellent stand was almost universally secured, and the best job of thinning and blocking that has probably ever been done in Orange County. The crop is practically free from insect pests this year and the only disease so far identified is an inconsequent amount of mildew. The growers have every prospect of securing a large tonnage of good sugar content. Asks Federal Aid In Rodent Control Appearing last week before committees of both the Senate and the House, Chester H. Gray, Washington representative of the American Farm Bureau Federation, presented the desire of farmers of California for Federal assistance to a practical program of predatory animal and rodent control, as contained in the proposed Norbeck-Loavitt bill. Because of the large areas of unfarmed government land in the west, county efforts for the control of predatory animals and field rodents require the cooperation of Federal agencies. The Norbeck-Loavitt bill outlines a systematic program over a ten year period, and provides federal funds of over a million dollars to assist county efforts in control work. The best interest of farmers, stockmen and sportsmen are recognized in this program, and California, farmers have appealed to the Farm Bureau to assist in presenting the serious aspects of the present situation to Congress. W. P. Wing, Secretary of the California Wool Growers Association, also appeared before the same committees in behalf of the members of his association, and has returned from Washington following conference on predatory animal control with various Federal departments. Speaking of the census it is to be remembered that the quality of a town's citizens is fully as important as the quantity.
