the chances are that even if they succeed
in their efforts only portion of mankind

the flying habit would become universal.

hundreds of thousands of men and women

never come when all the population will
take to cycling. So it is that even if a

will be millions of people who will fail to
use it. But / think that we shall see

To accommodate all these school chill
dren there are now fifty-four well ap"
pointed schoeIhouses distributed at con-
venlent distances over the forty odd
square miles of territory which the City
covers. Most of these buildings, espe7
ciaily the new ones, are imposing euinces
archltecturally and are provided with all
tue modern conveniences and the latest
improved school furniture and apparatus.
A remarkable thing about the new
schoolhouses is that they were all de-
signed by and built under the direct super
vision of Charles L. Strange, City Super
iutendent of Buildings, without any addi-
tional cost to the City for architects fees.
By placing the work in his hands ex-
clusively the City saved $13500 in archi-
tects ices alone. This is all the more re-
markable taken in consideration with the
fact that the Superintendent OF Buildings
had In charge at the Same time the de.
signing and building OF new central
police station and city jail, besides the
performance of his regular duties as su-
perlntendent of the unprecedentedly large
amount of private building operations. !.
TIE contract price of the eleven school
buildings erected under the superintend-
ence OF Mr.. Strange was $1SO,0OO. They
are located as follows: Pico and Sentous
streets, II rooms; Temple and Custer
streets, ten rooms; New Macy and Avlla
streets, eight rooms; Cambria and Vernon
streets, eight rooms; Twenty-frst and Nor
wood street, ten rooms; Olive street be-
tween Fourth and Fifth, twelve rooms;
Second street, near State, Boyle Heights,
eight rooms; Sixth street, near Maple
avenue, ten rooms; Twenty-eighth and
San Pedro streets, ten rooms; Griffith
avenue, eight rooms; Boyd street. near
San Pedro, five rooms.
The entire outlay for the new buildings,
repairs, additions, furniture. ETC., during
the year, exceeded 1926, 1000, the amount of
the bonds f1oated for this especial purpose.

of which there are quite few, some of ex-
csllent reputation.
Patriotism is taught in all the public
schools of the city, and "Old Glory" floats
over every schoolhouse while school is in
session. Many people considered school
children's day atthe late fiesta, when 10, 900
boys and girls, bedecked with flags and
garlands marched in parade and partici-
pated in fag-Taising exercises, the most
successful day OF the entire festival.
Ii schoolhouses are the country's fort
resses, then Los Angeles needs no other
defenses. She is as well fortified as any
city in the country.
