hall was dedicated. From beginning
with three teachers and about 80 pupils,
the school has grown to membership
of over $50, including the school of mu-
sic, and faculty of Irregular professors
and instructors, outgrowing the first hall
at Claremont, the gift of the boom. A
small town has sprung up about it to

report on the Orange county bill and
still it passed and that county was Gre
ated. That bill was most violently op-
posed by the press and the people OF
Los Angeles. Many who opposed it
now admit their mistake. There ia very
little opposition to the San Antonio bill
by the body Of the people in Los Ange-
les. Interviews at different times by
