California Is especially rich in her edu
cational institutions, aud of these one OF
the best-known and completely equipped
is Anderson's Academy, the leading one on
this Coast for the preparation Of students
for teachers examinations. This academy
had its origin in 1873, and was established
by j. W. Anderson, the present State
Superintendent of Public Instruction and
an educator known all over tins Coast. The
chief object is to prepare such students as
are DESTROYS of becoming teachers for
their examination not alone in this city
but throughout the several counties OF the
State. The experience of the founder OF
the academy in educational matters gave
him the advantage OF knowing precisely
how to systematic every department, so
that there should be no wasted energy, but
everything should be in perfect working
harmony. In 1880 his son, r. 5. Anderson.
the present head of the academy, having
taken the highest h0nors for scholastic ac-
mpiShmentS, was admitted as assistant to
his father. For five years they continued
together, building up the school and making
it known all over the Coast for the thorough
ness of the education received. Ia 1885
the entire management and conduct oil
the academy was turned over TO
the present head by his father. In 1886 Mr.
work secondary and paid almost exclusive
attention to such instruction and mental dis
cipine as would dt students to enter Har-
ward, Yale, West Point, Annapolis, Calf
fOrnia, Stanford and other universities OF
the United States; to cultivate a judgment,
a moral refinement and a taste for the best
literature; tn give such an education that
the graduate will not be required to attend
business college or other specially school III
order to prepare for the ordinary callinGS OF
life. This high-claSS institution makes every
effort to correct and guard against the
prevalent evils in school education.
la the giving of instruction in every
branch the intrinsic value Of the study, It's
value as a mental discipline AMI the cult
walton of desire on the part Of the pupil
TO make deeper study for himself IN after
years are constantly kept in view. The
success of this academy has thus been
brought about and good words are said OF 1t
In all parts Of the Coast. The pupils are
encouraged to engender a true love for the
best literature in the English language. The
schools motto is that true happiness Is to
be found only in moral, mental and physical
activity" The discipline OF the school,
without being harsh or severe, is all that
the most careful parent could wish.
TruthfunesS, economy and right hao-
its of thought and action are
inculcated and encouraged. The number Of
students has increased to such an extent
that the present commodiOus apartments
have been found totally inadequate to ac-
commodate the fast-increasiHg business,
and Mr. Anderson has just purchased
large and valuable piece OF property on
California street. between Jones aud
Leavenworth. This is one Of the most de-
sirable localities in the city. MI. Anderson
