10l rooms and accommodations for nearly
5000 pupils; nine old school buildings re-
paired and enlarged by the addition of
from TWO to six rooms, thus providing ac-
commodations for about 1000 additional
pupils. Such Is the record for one school
year in Los Angeles.
If there is one thing above another
which the wide-awake residents of Los
Angeles are proud of, it is the facilities
afforded by the city for the schooling of
the rising generation. Few cities in the
land are better equipped m this respect,
none have made more rapid strides in this
direction. 1t is doubtful whether the rec
ord made by Los Angeles in the last school
year in the matter of building school
houses has ever been equaled by any city
of the same size in a like period.
Nothing, perhaps, more forcibly Illus
trates the remarkable growth OF Los An
geles than the building of so many school
houses in one year. These buildings were
not erected to meet future want but to
provide for present necessity. Although
new buildings were added from time TO
time, and the capacity of the schools
doubled several times in the last decade,
the buildings became so crowded last year
that large increase in facilities for the
proper education of the juvenile popula-
ton became imperative. Not1 ithstand-
ing the greatly enlarged accommodations
provided. all the buildings-new end old
will be full to overfowing next school
year, and il the growth in population con-
tinues at the present rate, it will not be
long before this years building operations
will have to be repeated.
The last school census shows 20, ,639
children of school age-between and IL
years-in the city, an increase of 1888
over the previous year. This increase is
partially accounted for by the annexation
| OF suburbs to the city, but most of the in
crease is natural. The total population of
the city based ON the school ransus is IN

school bonds now outstanding is $476,9
but this is debt that the citizens of Los
Angeles are not ashamed Of They have
never yet refused to vote bonds for school
purposes when the necessity arose. These
bonds are deemed gilt-edge investments
and do not have to go begging for pur-
chasers. They are promptly redeemed at
maturity. The total value OF the city s
school property is estimated at 81, LAG, $50.
Ihe, operating expenses OF the City
School Department for the school year

ployed; In 1886 the number of teachers
was increased to 377. The schools were
open SZ months. The total enrolment OF
pupils In all grades was 16,0S4. The
average monthly salary paid the 49 male
teachers in the primary and grammar
grades was $93 81; average salary OF 32S
lemale teachers i'll same grades, $76 73.
The average salary of male teachers in
the High School was SIPS 05 per month,
and of II female te achers, $I0S ga.
Tne High School had an average daily at
tendance during the year of 391 and grad
mated class of II. This is an excellent
institution, the graduates being prepared
to enter the State University and kindred
institutions. The cost of running the High
School last year was ,77S Is. 1t occu-
pies an elegant building which, with its
furnishing, cost a few years ago $S8.000.
The High School is one of the public insti-
tutlons OF the town which the citizens take
special pride in.
1t may safely be said that the public
schools OF Los Angeles were never in a
more prosperous condition. In buildings,
equipments and efficiency of instructors
they challenge comparison with the
SCHOOLS OF any city in the country.

ENTIRE BUTTS

The Origin of Malt Beverage That Be-
came the Favorite OF Thirsty Souls.
Plenty of people imagine this on public
house signs TO signify monopoly of sup
ply from one brewery; but it is really the
old name of what is called ''porter." The
following history of its origin may be ac-
ceptable:
1t appears that in the early days of last
century the lovers of malt liquors in Lon
don were accustomed to regale themselves
upon three classes of these beverages; they
had ale, beer and twopenny. Many who
preferred more subtle mbination of
davors than either of these liquors alone
could impart would ask for half-and- half
that is, half of ale and half of beer, half of
ale and half of twopenny, or half of beer
and half of twopenny.
Others, again-and these were the real
connoiSseurs of malt liquors-would call
for a pot of three threads or three
thirds. e., one-third of ale, one-third of
beer and one-third of twopenny. The
drawer would therefore have to go to three
different casks and through three distinct
operations before he could draw pint of
liquor. But the hour had come-and the
man. One Ralph Harwood, whose name
is too little known to an ungrateful pos
terity of beer-drinking Britons, some time
about the year 1870 kept brewhouse on
the east side of High street, Shoreditch.
In that year, or perhaps little earlier,
as this great man brooded over the incon-
venlence and waste occasioned by the calls
for the "three threads" which became
more and more frequent, he conceived the
idea of making liquor which would COM
bine in itself the several virtues of ale.
beer and twopenny. He carried the idea
into action and brewed drink which he
called Entire" or entire Butts" 1t was
tasted; it was approved; it became the
fruitful parent of mighty offspring, and
from that dav to this has gone on increas-
ing in name and fame.-Notes and Queries.
