TODAY ONE YEAR AGO

1t hardly seems so long-one year ago
this morning-since the appalling news
Of the destruction Of San francisco was
flashed to Los Angeles.
How well we all remember that the
first meager reports were thought to be
greatly exaggerated, but how all later
details added TO the awful story OF the
calamity. And how Los Angeles was
dazed momentarily when the full
measure Of the horror was revealed.
Crushed and annihllate. in large part
as was San Francisco, the almost i'm
mediate inpour Uf abundant aid and
the worldwide wave of heartfelt sym
pathy inspired faith and hope. Even
before the stricken city realized fully
the terrible catastrophe that had be-
fallen It the sister city of Los Angeles
was mlnstering to its wants and do
ing all that was possible in the way Of
sympathy and encouragement.
A year has passed and on this first
anniversary Of the calamity we see San
Francisco. like the mythical phoenix,
rising from its ashes. In spite of all dis
couragements the city has made good
progress toward reconstruction and
its more sanguine citizens have sub
stantial basis for the belief that San
Francisco will be fully restored to its
former status within five years from
the date Of its misfortune
The impetus of California progress
and the manifest destiny of the state
assured the rehabilitation of the city,
despite the gloomy predictions of pes
simists. Although San Francisco still Is
crippled, the element of original Cali
fornia grit will win ultimately and the
city of the Golden Gate will have a
splendid future.
1t is extremely improbable, notwith-
standing the geological faults" which
scientists say underlie the neighbor-
hood of the CITY, that there will be any
repetition of the catastrophe of a year
ago. The people of San Francisco GER
tainly evince no uneasiness on that ac-
count, as is shown by the present prog
ress in the great work of reconstruc-
ton.
San Francisco, as the northern me-
tropolis of California, and Los Angeles
as the southern metropolis, will always
be the two great industrial and COM
mercial marts of the state. They are
nearly five hundred miles apart and
they are the only entrepots of the great
transpacific trade of the future on the
whole one thousand miles Of California
coast.
Los Angeles sends cordial greetings
and best wishes to its northern sister
on this anniversary morning of the
awful visitation by earthquake and fire
with the earnest hope that its future
growth and prosperity may have no
interruption.

OIL BATH For STREETS

The board of public works has out
lined a comprehensive plan Of street
paving. The plan covers all Of the
business district and a considerable
proportion of the more central residen-
tial section. There Is encouraging
promise, therefore, that next winters
tourists Will have comparatively little
cause for such criticism as has been
ringing in the ears Of citizens during
the last four or five months.
1t Is presumabie, of course, that the
board also will make provision for such
street Improvement as Is urgently need
ed In districts of the city farther from
the central portion. There are many
streets which are covered with mud
In winter and converted into dust beds
in summer that might be clean and
inviting at all times with a minimum
of expense.
For instance, there are scores Of
miles Of streets that might be put in
good condition for both winter and
summer service by oil surfaclng For
evidence on that point it is necessary
only to notice the relative condition Of
streets that may be seen in close prox-
unity showing the difference between
oil treatment and absolute neglect.
There are many streets for the i'm
provement work of which property
owners paid heavy assessments that
are in no better condition in respect
to mud and dust than the average
country road. This because there has
been no repetition Of oil treatment
since the street work was completed.
and in many cases that was two, three
or more years ago. The contrast be-
tween such streets and those which
received the oil bath within year or
later shows what might be accom-
pllshed at small cost.
The need of such attention from the
board of public works as is here point
ed out is second only to the work of
improvement now planned for the more
central streets. The trivial cost, rel
atively, of a fresh application of oil
should lead to early consideration of
the matter by the board.

NORMAL SCHOOL SITE

At no time has The Herald seriously
considered suggestions for selecting a
Los Angeles normal school site outside
the city limits. The school must neces-
sarily remain in the city. Many sites
have been offered in the rural districts
admirable in many respects, but al
| lacking in the most essential feature.
Los Angeles city supplies large ma
jority of the normal school students
| The permanent homes of these students
are here and the expense and incon-
venience of attending the school at any
distant point would be prohibitory In a
large percentage of cases. Even in the
case of students who come from points
outside of the city 1t is safe to assume
that most of them would greatly prefer
city to country life during the requisite
period of four years.
The new site for the normal school
should not only be located within the
city but it should be conveniently ac-
cessible by street railways. Again, the
mistake should not be made of perching
it on ground so high as to be tiresome
in the ascent and injurious to some stu
dents. The present normal school site
and that of the high school are ex-
amples of such mistake. A site on a
plateau or table land would be ideal.
The fund of $500 900 which is expected
to be realized as the minimum for the
sale of the present normal school build
ing should provide a striking addition
to the city's most handsome structures.
The president of the San Francisco
normal school says Of it, with this
you can build an institution second to
none anywhere" That comes pretty
near to saying that Los Angeles has an
opportunity to secure the leadership In
American normal schools as it already
leads in many other respects.
The question of a free site for the in
stitution should not be allowed to out
weigh all other considerations. 1t would
save subsequent regrets to purchase a
desirable site rather than to accept a
gratuitous one not conveniently access
sible, or Objectionable on any other
ground
And In consideration OF every phase
of the question the fact should be kept
in mind that the proposed structure
must be adapted to future require
ments. The demand upon it's capacity
will increase rapidly with each sue
ceeding year. The time will soon come
when the number of students may be
doubled. In this respect, as in all other
matters Of public concern in Los An
geles we should make ample allowance
for the marvellous future growth of the
city.
! Select a suitable site for the new
structure without giving paramount
consideration to the question whether 1t
shall be acquired by gift or by purchase.
Then erect thereon building that will
be creditable to the city's high class
architecture, as nearly as possible per-
feet in all appointments and commo-
dious enough for the need when Los
Angeles is nearing the million class of
American cities.
