THE SCHOOLS.

One OF the most important, if no
the most important, division of the
city government is the School Depart
ment. Under its supervision come.
the education OF the numerous youths
who in future years will occupy prom.
lnent places in the history of Los
Angeles, and perhaps elsewhere. AT
the present time there are between
five and six thousand children attend
ing the public schools in this city,
and there are about thousand child
rem who cannot obtain seats in the
schools. In the early part OF last wear
1t became apparent chat there was an
urgent necessity for over thirty new
class-rooms, and petition was SEN.
to the City Council asking that a
special election lie called to vote on
The issuance OF bonds for the con-
struction of these rooms. The CITY
Council saw the need and ordered the
election which followed, and $3.50, 900
bonds were voted. These we're adj
vertised for sale, but as yet no pur-
chasers have come forward, and the
school facilities at the opening OF the
present year are totally inadequate.

2000 children who are deprived of a
proper education, for the reason that
many OF them are receiving but three
hours daily tuition, where they
should receive six. This being the
