death Of Mr.. Roach in 1889. During the
years Of his connection with the vast estate
he proved himself thorough business man
ana the results Of his labors, as evidenced
by the vouminous documents on file in the
Probate Court, indicate his energy and
ability.
His career as a Native Son of the Golden
West commenced in 1884, when he Joined
Pacific Parlor No. 10. and since 1886 he has
continuously represented that parlor in the
Grand Parlor.
He held the responsible position Of chair
man Of the committee on appeals and griey-
apces for two years, and has been elected
grand trustee, grand lecturer, grand vice.
president, and now grand president. How
he is regarded by the Native Sons can be
appreciated from the fact that he was unani-
mously chosen TO fill the last three Offices,
an honor never before conferred on a mem
Der of tie order.
As an attorney he stands high among the
younger members Of the bar. His business

Students in Los Angeles
Actively Engaged.
" Call" Contests Awaken Great In
terest-Flourishing Condition of
the Normal Institution.


Los ANGELES. April 27-When the $50
scholars at the Normal School assembled in
the main hall this morning Professor Ira
Moore, the principal, called their attention to
The CALLS prize contest for the best
written essay on the subject OF "The Dis
covery of America by Christopher Column
bus" The pupils had already read the
conditions of the interesting contest, and
many had begun their essays; but
after the encouraging, stimulating words
OF their learned principal they determined
to try harder than ever to win the golden
laurels offered.
Here are the conditions of this valuable
beneficial contest" said Professor Moore al
he read from THE CALL as follows:
For the best essay, SEQ in gold.
For the second best essay, SO in gold.
Pupils are eligible from all schools. in
GLIDING public, private and denomina-
tiOnal.

TIL Blessing. physical culture.
Model and practice sehool-Frances H.
BYram, principal. third and fourth grades !;
Carrie Reeves, second and third grades; ;
Clara Stolten berg, first grade.
Speaking of the school and its needs.
Professor Moore says:
This year has been prosperous one for
the school. although for the lack of room
IN which to accommodate students the num-
bers remain essentially the same as last
year. The attendance has been remarkably
uniform-the average attendance being very
nearly the same as the aggregate.
The Model ana Practice School has
fully maintained its high standard as
public school the past year. 1t con-
slsts of the first four grades of the
city schools. L respectfully recon-
mend that when the new build
ing so much needed by this school shall be
constructed, space in it shall be given to
accommodate the other five grades of the
public school. that our practice work may
include the entire work of the primary and
grammar grades.
II have recommended that the present
building shall not be added TO- but that q
new structure shall be built. Two medium
buildings have great advantages over
one large structure for school purposes:
~ For light the smaller buildings have
sunny rooms. instead of the sunless, cheer
less rooms Of which there are so many in
the large building; ~ the ventilation is
vastly better in the small buildings; ~ the
danger from fire is only half as great.
We are yet far from supplying the need
of California for professional teachers.
The State will employ the coming year not
less than 800 new teachers, of which. as we
have seen. 200 only come from the normal
schools of the State.
So much for the Normal School. Pupils
of the city's public, private ana parochiaI
schools say that they also will send in essays
that will sLrprise other contributors. And
So the contest goes merrily on.
