This high-class institution is one of
which Los Angeles is justly proud,
standing as it does for the highest form
of education, the development of the
human voice and the Interpretation of
the best literature. Nor is this all that
the instructors of this famous school
aim to do for the student, as they hold
that in the art of true expression the
mind must be informed. the disposition
must be trained toward unselfishness
and the physical body must. be in nor

in view it is not surprising that the
Dobinson School of Expression should
have achieved large success during the
seven years since it began it's career in
this city, it's quarters consisting at
first of a few small rooms in rented
building. It now occupies a magnifi-

in the style of the Spanish Renaissance,

Los Angeles is second to no other
city of equal population in completeness
of educational advantages, and no
money is paid more cheerfully by the
property owner than the tax for school
purposes.

the state normal, number sixty-one;
teachers employed, S25; school children,

miscellaneous colleges and private
schools, S5.
Commencing in the early public days
of Los Angeles, the first school is record
ed to have been started by the Sisters of
Charity in a small building at the cor
ner of Macy and Alameda street. These
sisters gathered few children about
them for elementary teaching early in
1856, from which the present parochial
school system started.
Public Schools
In 1880 the first printed record was
made of the public schools of Los An
geles. The school census at that time
was S20e. The last enrolment was 34,-

houses and several outside school ac-

From the income of the college, dona-

DRY FARMING OF MORE
VALUE THAN IRRIGATION
This Is True of New Mexico Where Areas Reclaim
Able By That Means Exceed Those Where
Irrigation Is Possible

It is not at all rare for good crop
to be grown in Colorado without irr.
cation, even under the ~haphazar,
way of filling. For two years tn
Denver Water Comany has been sue
cessfully Gu~ltivating a farm of tw,
thousand acres near Morrison Will
scarcely any artificial application o
water. The farm was originally tilleC
with irrigation, but in a dry year tn,
company was compelled to withhold
the water. and in spite of that fac
found that it was, by close cultiva
ton, able to grow an almost com
plete crop. Since then it has con.
Quoted the farm on much the same
lines as those adopted by Prof. Camp.
bell after years of experimenting.
Near Erie this year a farmer has av.
eraged thirty-four bushels of wheat to
the acre on sixty acres of land that
was above any ditch, an average that
could not have been secured in Hi.
nois. Near Cheyenne Wells there nave
been heavy crops grown this year
without irrigation, through following
the Campbell system. Both in this and
former years splendid crops have been
matured by the natural rainfall in
various sections of the West.
1t has been shown that the natural
rainfall of this region, about fourteen
inches annually, is sufficient to ma
ture a crop of grain if it is properly
distributed during the seasons and
happens to come at the critical stage
of growth. This distribution cannot
be depended upon being made prop
erly year after year, but the Camp
bellf experiments have proved that
proper cultivation OF the soil with a
view to allowing it to conserve the
moisture will carry the crop over
the lapses between rains and give re-
suits, taking one year with another,
equal to those secured in the Miss
issippi valley non-ii rigated sections.
The promise is for even better re-
suits; say within 40 per cent of the
yield secured through irrigation,
which has the added advantage of re
newing the soil while it gives assur-
ance of crops.
Fall plowing and sub-plowing are
recognized aids to irrigation or to
farming without it. and there is moth
ing lese in the Campbell sytem that
a sensible farmer cannot see would
be of benefit to his crop under n
rainfall conditions. It offers a logical
solution of the problem of farming
the vast areas of Colorado that so
far have not been successfully brought
under cultivation, and it cannot be
too strongly urged upon farmers, on
commercial bodies and all who are
Interested in the progress of the state,
that the system be given the fullest

Dry Farming in the West.

In these days of irrigation advance
ment by the United States govern
ment, it seems idle to sepak of dry
farming in the arid region. Yet dry
farming is winnings its victories and
will be the method in the future in re-
claiming thousands and even millions
of acres of land in the Rocky Noun
tain states and territories which can
never be reached by irrigation bitches.
This method of dry farming or Camp
bell soil culture is being tried with
remarkable success in eastern Colo
RADIO, and eastern New Mexico will
not be slow in following this example,
for its farmers are progressive. What
is being done in Colorado in that
direction should be an incentive and
great encouragement TO the people of
this territory, not a few of whom
have believed that agricultural pro-
gress in New Mexico is out of the
question. except under reservoirs to
be built by the United States Reclaim
alton Service, which it make take an
other decade to complete, and which
altogether, as far as planned, will re-
claim less than a quarter of a million
of acres, while over 100000 acres
remain arid.
For instance: Few poole know that
within 65 miles of Denver, there is
n farm with forty acres producing
wanderful crops from seed planted a
month TO six weeks later than is con-
