past bury its doad"-it is the "living
present" with which we COW have to
deal.
our PRESENT SCHOOL HOUSE.
After q protracted struggle
of which We have sufficiently spok-
en- heretofore, the present school
house was allowed to be built, the
fund in the hands OF tho trustees
supplemented we believe by q part OF
the regular school fund, boing used
for that purpose. The lots, if we are
not mistaken. were purchased by sub
scription. School was opened there
we believe in 1877, in charge of Rev.
Mr.. Kelly. In perhaps o year the
Institute management, through the
President, Rev. e. s. Smith, made
overtures to run the two schools in
conjunction, the new school house
to be used for tho boys, and the tut
ton to be ut free school rates. This
worked we'll enough for o time, but
Mr.. Smith soon retired, and less salts
factory results followed. There were
various teachers OF the boys depart
mont, among them Prof. Garrison, q
scholarly young gentleman, now OF
the faculty of the State University.
It was alleged that the discipline was
not good, and on this and other con-
vcnient grounds, the pupils were
within a year or 80 withdrawn from
tho public school house to the Insti-
tute, as before, and the now school
house left for term of years to Mex
lean tenants and finally to the bats
and owls-a most disgracelul finale
TO the free school cause in San Mar
cos. How it came about, those who
have read this series OF articles will
have no difficulty IN determining.
The public school pupils, thence
forward to tho separation which was
voted in 1886, wore consigned to the
tender mercies of the Institute, the
trustees playing second fiddle to its
management. The free school pu,
pills were brought in ut the tail end
of the sessions, and 'put through
after fashion for few months. OF
course they could not be graded OF
classified with the rest, and in vari-
Gus ways were made to feel that
they were regarded rs an inferior
caste, so that not few parents, with
spirit which did them honor, refus-
ed to send their children at all. We
merely touch on this most humiliat'
ing portion of our public school his
tory, because it belongs to the past,
and wo would fain have it forgotten
in the better and more liberal feeling
we hope to SEQ prevailing between
tho Institute and our public schools,
when they shall be entirely separate,
no longer rivals, but cooperating
each in its appropriate sphere, in the
grand work of general education in
San Marcos.
Having brought down our sketc b
to the vote by which our city took
the exclusive control Of oil public
schools within its limits, we close the
present number, as the remainder
of the history will be found interwov
en- with the pending question of a
new public school building.
