L|VERMORE HIGH
SCHOOL GRADUATES,
Class of 'e6 Receives Diplo-

A YEARS GOOD WORK.
First Union High School Organ
lied Under the New
Law.
BUILDING FULLY EQUIPPED
The Class Is Composed of Three Young
Ladies and Three Young

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
908 Broadway, July l.
Three bright young ladies and an equal
mum ber of young men form the first
graduating class from the new Livermore
Union High School.
Great interest was shown in the exer-
cises, and the building was crowded.
Principal W. J. Connell in little speech
expressed his qualification at the progress
made during the year, and the graduates
were enthusiastically received.
The class of 90 consists of: Laura Brad
shaw, Lena Lotz, Minnie Rathbone, Otto
Rathke, John Aylward and John c. Cal
Flaghan.
The Union High School of Livermore
was the first of it's kind In the State, and,
following its example, many other union
high schools were organized. The Union
High School District No. l mbraces
Highland, Green, Vista, Mocho, Inman,
Townsend, May, Harris and Livermore
districts and each district is represented
in the board by one trustee.
The school was conducted in one of the
rooms of the Livermore Public School
building, but the demand for the higher
education increased so fast that a separate
building soon became necessity. The
contract was let in Decembe 1892, and
the school was ready for use in August,
1893. The class that has just graduated is
the first class that has passed entirely
through the new school.
The High School has been greatly i'm
proved during the past year, and is as
completely equipped as any in the State
with chemical and physical apparatus,
and its scholastic work is at present fully
up to the standard set by the State Uni
versity. The idea of organizing Union
High schools is essentially a Livermore
idea. The law establishing such schools
was first proposed by some of its citizens,
and after its enactment they we're the first
to take advantage OF its provisions.
The Union High School is one of the best
educational institutions in the State. The
faculty consists of w. ]. Connell, princi-
pal; Miss Adriana Moore, vice-principal; /;
Miss Helen Tbayer, assistant principal,
and Miss Cora E. Hogg, teacher ninth
grade. Since the ruling of the county
board that the eighth grade com pleted
the grammar course in this county, the
ninth grade has been transferred to the
High School.

doubt, little later, visit many of the
towns along the route taken by the wagon
party.
After touring the northern part of the
State Mr.. Hadsell and his companions
will turn their horses heads toward the
citrus belt, where the same line of work
will be carried on.
As stated, in the East these wagon par
ties have accom- plished much in the way
of making converts to socialistic doc
trines. There are many places where the
inhabitants are ripe for change in mat
ters political, but being distant from the
great centers of civilization where social
ism has its strongholds they are not
familiar with the principles of the doc
trines. In many instances they rate
socialism aud anarchy in the same class.
In such districts the Eastern lecturers
find the ground ripe for the seed, and the
success OF their teachings is plainly mani
fest by the increase in the Presidential
vote for the socialists candidate. The So
cialists of Chicago, st. Louis. New York
and several other large cities have these
lecturers out in the country all of the time
and pay all of their expenses. In several
instances the wagons have never returned
to the places from which they started.
1t may be so in this instance for Mr..
Hadsell has no idea when he will return,
and it may be that he will never come
back.

lease Cohen.

J
Mayor Davie was poring over figures to-
day. The first fiscal year that has been
conducted with dollar tax levy closed
last night and the Mayor is like the
farmers at raintime-jubilant.
''Of all pieces of monumental stupidity"
said the Mayor, "the estimate of Chief
Fair of S127 900 for his department is the
most absurd. The city is in good condi-
ton and the little gallery playing OF the
School Board and the Library Trustee
will hurt nobody.
~ am more than satisfied with the re-
suits of last years work. The expert

the money is judiciously expended.
