The Plans For All of the New
School Houses Completed
EVERY BUILDING DIFFERENT
The City Has Been Saved Lots ol
Money
Instead Of SH,Soo for Architects Fees, the
Job Has Not Cost SIooo---A Full
Report on nonday

Charles H. Strange, the superintend-
ent of buildings. to whom was delegated
the task of drawing the plans and specif.
cations for the eleven proposed new
school buildings. has completed his task
and by Monday he will have full report
of his work for submission to the city
council. 1t will be remem pered that
when the work was turned over to Strange
there was q bitter contention that the job
should be turned over to the various
architects OF the city, who were to be
paid the usual fees charged for such
labor. The total amount of these fees
was estimated to be $11, 500, and the claim
was then made that if the regular build
ing supern tendent of the city superin
tended the job of preparing the plans the
cost would be considerably more than tho
$11,500 architects fees. Superintendent
Strange has had in his employ three men
tor eleven weeks and the whole job has
cost the city little more than 5000.
Each one of the eleven proposed now
buildings are to be different in design.
The school building on the corner o;
Vernon and Cam bria streets is to be an
eight-roam structure and the San Pedro
street school will be ten room building.
Both OF these will be colonial in style.
The Temple and Custer street building
will be ten rooms and OF Romanesque
architecture. The Griffin avenue school
will contain eight rooms and will be in
Italian renaissance. The school at the
corner of Twenty-iirsJ and Norwood
streets will also be a ten-room building
OF Italian renaissance stlye OF architect
ure, as will be the Sentous ana Olive
street building.
The Olive street building will be the
most pretentious TO be erected. 1t Will
be threo.sto and will contain twelve
rooms. The style of architecture will be
collegiate.
The Boyle Heights and New Macy
street schools will each contain eight
rooms and each will be Romanesque in
style. The Sixth and Los Angeles streets.
Los Angeles and Maple avenue and
Twenty-eishth and San Pedro street
buildings will all be ten-room structures.
Their style of architecture will be Ro-
manesque and conventional.
AS soon as Superintendent Strange has
his present big job off his hands be will
begin work in real earnest upon the new
central policesstation building.

PROFESSOR Gates REPORT
II Came Late and Was Wr0rgIy
Addressed
The Late Principal Of ths High School In
dorses the Individual System
Of Teaching

Prof. f. E.Cates, who was last year the
principal of the high school. created a
small sized sensation in the rooms of tn
board of education yesterday. He turned
over to Superintendent OF Schools Fo-
shay his annual report and the document
struck the superintendent as being peou-
liar. 1t struck him, in TACT, as being Te-
markable. In the first place it was dated
June 7th, which was the day that the
schoo! closed for the summer vacation,
and in the second place it was addressed
to Pruf. P. W. Search, as the superintend- :
ent. On top OF these peculiarities Pro-.
Gates, IN his report made an onslaught
collectively upon large part of tn Q
teachers of the high school.
The report says, among other things,
that the search individual system as
practiced last year in the high school was
| highly satisfactory to a large majority of
! the high school teachers. being. however.
| bitterly opposed by small minority. The
| system, says Prof. Gates, proved itself all
that it claimed to be
| So much of Prof. Gates report as eulo-
! gises the Search system will become a
education, which is now in print. The
| reference to the teachers in the high
school has. however. been cut out of the
document by Prof. Gates himself, who
acted in the matter upon hint from
| some of his supeiiors.
! President Hale yesterday called a spe-
cial meeting of the board OF education
to be held this evening. The nj Getting is
called for the purpose of considering ''un-
assigned tee chers," which, in plain En-
! glish. means the assignment uf Rabbi
Blum to teach French in the high school.
An attempt is now being made to have
the county board of examiners revoke
,Blum's teacher ST certificate upon the
4 same charges as those which have been
recently investigated by the board of ed
| ucation.
