In the early part of 1893 the Legislature voted an appropriation for a new building. At the close of the session in June, 1863. Mr. Ira More, under whose principalship the school had received Its impetus and had become noted as an edu- cational center, resigned, and upon his successor, the present prinoipal, Mr. B. T, Plerce, devolved the work of directing the new building and appropriately fitting it for the increased number of students. During that school year ending June, 1833, the enrollment was for the year end- ing June, 1897, it is 627, an increase of 203 in five years,” The new building was oc- cupled in September, 1594. It had ample room, and was especially adapted for the work, particularly in the training depart- ment. With these larger facilities and bet- ter appointments the school eatered on a new era of usefulness. The former fac- ulty consisted of eleven teachers, but as greater demands have come the number as-been Increased until now there are twenty-three. Every room in the school proper and in the training department is now occupied. Great changes in educational affairg kave occurred within the past ten years. Educators have been reaching forth into new and.larger fields of investigation; the child in the schoolroom and at home h!ns become a matter of intense study. It ‘behooves a normal school to lead, or at least to keep in touch with the marks of advancement; therefore this school has sought to place its graduates on the plane of the present progress, and to enable them to continue the subjects already begun. The ideal of the faculty s to 80 impress the students with the great- ness of thelr work that they may come to study and thoroughly know the child. With this in mind, the faculty meets weekly in the seminary to discuss peda- to that bear directly | those materially af- and the advance- | the training de- their own work; th upon the students fecting the intere ment of the puplls in STATE NORMAL SCHOOL AT LOS ANGELES. well appointed for thorough work.

These studies are valuable, not only because they bring the teach- | ers and their work into weekly contact, but also because they broaden the view | of the specialist, and devclop in him a sympathy for other lines of study. | AKin to this is a plan for university extension work conducted by the depart- | ment of pedagogy. which outlines and superintends the various lines of investi- gation, In several counties the teachers | are organized for this work, and are | brought in touck with the studies in the | Normal School.

The new sci- | ence of psychology h not been neg- | lected, for attention has been given to | the collection and application of appar- | since in many instances mental th can only be determined by these means. This has an important bearing on the work of teaching. The senior class for a year is brought in contact with pupils, ranging from the first grade to the eighth, and student teachers are enabled to approach the child with a greater knowledge of his habits, his | knowledge; it is profitable to be able to modes of thought, his inclinations and the general trend of his life. | In order to extend the Influence of the work of the school, and to be able to| take the child in his younger years, the trustees provided for a kindergarten de- | partment in September, 18%. It was the first move in that direction made by any normal school on the coast. A fully equipped Sloyd departmentis one of the accessories of this school. Each class has this work on the weekly pro- gramme, and the requirements for atten- tion to it are as binding as any other; the influence of this work Is noticeable in many ways. It is well to have book manipulate in the science laboratories; it is useful to learn how to solve problems, but th alone would not make the rounded teacher. He must know some- thing of the esthetic side of life; the| pleasing and the enjoy mere matter-of-fact training.

The draw- | ing department is rich in models, designs | and engravings, all of which stimulate a desire to be in touch with the insp ing power of art. A well selected li- | brary, to which the pupils have access at | all times for reference or investigation, | is a close ally to help the student in his | efforts. 1 Seven years ago a large and well | equipped gymnasium was built. A te- | matic plan for work was carried out, and it is accepted by both students and par- ents that the physical drill given regu- la each week ‘and in the most bene- to the students exerts a great influence upon their health. The aim of the school is to send forth graduates who have been trained to| think, and to know somethlng of the great pulsating life outside the four walls of the schoolroom; to see in the child great possibilities, and to study how to | develop them to the best advantage to themselves and to the State; and lastly | to hold as their chief purpose the making | of men and women, worthy of the great | aim of life, and an honor and blessing to humanity.

MEADE CORPS NO. 6l At the last held meeting of Meade Corps, G. A. R., Mrs. Gaffney, a mem- | ber, presented to it a large picture of Lin- | coln, which was covered with the Ameri- | can flag, the last Union emblem that | floated over Libby Prison and which is | now the property of General George Meade Post. The presentation speech was by Mrs. Goodwin on behalf of the donor. There were a number of the mem- bers of the post present to witness the | unveiling. During the presentation and | the acknowledgment of the gift, there was an allusion to the flag to the effect | that it could not be put to better use than that of adorning the picture of the mar- tyred hero, for like him it had done noble duty, and like him it was laid away, but that while he could not be recalled. the flag can at any time be unfurled to the breeze again to inspire those ready to defend the honor of the m)umr}'. Rost Commander Leavitt, after that, delivered a stirring address in which he defended the granting of pensions to those who had seen service in the war, but was severe in his criticisms of those who draw big fat salaries in the pen- sion office. He said that if there was less grab the real soldiers would receive at least 312 or $15 a month instead of the | paltry’ sum_ they now receive. He said | that the old soldiers desire enough to | He declared | that should the President to-day call for volunteers every old soldier who can | walk and shoulder a musket will respond.
