very little complaint is heard. Peo-

Tho High School.

1t was pleasure to inspect the
High School and the annex used as
primary school in the company of
the Minister of Education, the iu-
spectors OF schools and the priuci-
pals OF the High School yesterday.
After careful examination of the
school-rooms in the building used
for the primary classes, those pre-
sent arrived at the conclusion that
the parents who have lately "kicked"
in regard to the bad light OF the
school are mistaken.
There cannot be any doubt that a
more convenient schoolhouse could
have been built but the original de-
fects in regard to light and ventila-
tition have been remedied and it is
evident that large amount OF pub
lie money has been expended in
making the schoolhouse "up-to-
date"
The room used by the small chill
dren attending the school was ad-
mitted by all the officials present as
being too hot. 1t was a mistake to
use corrugated iron as roofing in
the first place, and it is now sug.
gested that change is to be made
and that shingles on a raised roof
should replace the present CORFU
gated abomination.
The contrivances for light and
ventilation in the other parts OF the
building cannot be surpassed or
equalled. The Board of Education
deserves the greatest credit for the
work done and upon a closer
investigation the parents will find
that it is the heat in the one room,
and not the light which give to
their "kids" that tired feeling in the
head.
After inspecting the annex, the
press representatives. were invited to
take look at the High School
building. The premises of Princess
Ruth now used by the Board Of
Education furnish the most ideal
high school, which can be seen in
any civilized country. The kama
ainas know that the savage old
princess when she wanted to erect a
"civlized" mansion looked over
many pictures OF buildings in the
United States and finally took the

work enough to do to attend to

WEATHER AND CROPS
Conditions Prevailing Throughout
Southern California

Following is the weather bureau of the
United States department of agriculture
climate and crop bulletin for Southern
California for the week ending October
49, by George K. Franklin, local forecast Of
fetal:
The cool, cloudy weather which prevailed
the greater portion of the time from the
first of the month eliminated on the even
ing of the 18th and morning of the 14th in
unusually heavy rains for the month of
October throughout Southern California.
The rains were followed by milder weather
and mild northerly winds. No material
injury occurred to drying fruits, as ample
warning had been given through the gen
eral and local forecasts, so that as rule
drying fruits and raisns were protected
from the inclement weather. In some To-
caites, where it was not practicable to
get trays under cover. some slight dam
age occurred, but it is the impression that
the following warm. clear weather, with
drying northerly winds. will prevent seri-
Gus results. Beans not yet harvested were
injured TO some extent by the heavy rains.
but on the whole It Is the opinion that the
rains did much good for general farming.
The soil was placed in good condition for
blowing for grain. which Is now going on,
and pasture is assuming excellent condi-
ton. Oranges and lemons were never in
better condition. Walnuts are being rap
idly gathered. Corn is a good crop
