since the expiration Of his term Of
once az State Superintendent Of Public
instruction, little over year ago, but
little has been heard Of Ira g. Hoitt
who filled that Office for four years.
An Erening Post reporter who went in
quest .ni him yesterday found him It
one OF the most charming places Of re-
tirement in California.
Alighting from the train at the pretty
suburban village Of San Mateo he was
soon speeding over the country road
which presented a panorama of iuxuri-
GUS beauty. Two miles from the town
narrow lane opened in the road. The
long graceful curves Of this lovely and
shaded lane were followed for nearly
mile westward toward the foothills, and
at length the open gate OF magnificent
private estate was entered. After round
ing the top Of little hill, picturesque
country seat nesting in q sheltered
place at the foot Of graceful hills burst
on the view. A well-kcpt orchard,
acres OF flowers and neat garden spot
were successfully passed, and then came
q picturesque bridge over the neck of 4
little lake and under an arch Of massive
live oaks. The long porch which ended
the journey was empowered in roses
and palms; flowers and foliage Of various
kinds charmed the eye at every turn.

and by live-oak groves. Here the wel.-
known educator was found, ENJOYING his
life and labor as master OF school in
which his own educational ideas could
be wholly carried out. In response to q
servants summons, he came from the
school-building where recitations were
going on and cordially greeted the re-
porter.
''Yes, we are rather in retirement
now" he said, "but we are ENJOYING the
life. We have twenty-five boys now and
there are four instructors besides nv
wife and myself. l find that my health,
