OAKLAND EXPECTS
MUCHFROM CENSUS
Progressive City May Have
Congressman as Its Own
Representative

The population of Oakland has more
than trebled in three years. 1t is gem
orally expected that many thousands
more than 100000 persons win be emu
merated when the census is taken. The
representative of the census bureau en-
ga ged in Oakland in the federal service
recently made an interesting statement
at luncheon given by the Oakland
chamber of commerce progress and
prosperity committee. What he said
was hailed with much enthusiasm.
In his remarks he said that justice
has not been done to Oakland in late
years because publications concerning
its population had been based upon fig
ures that were made when the city
had contained but 5000 persons. So
far as is possible, so the representative
said, every person in Oakland will be
counted. In this work his census emu
mera tors will be accompanied by rep
resentatives of the Oakland chamber
CT commerce. who will make it their
personal business to see that Oakland
gets its full credit for its present i'm
portance in population.

Oakland had in 1906 90 schools with
an enrolment of II 900 pupils. Today
the enrolment is $4,000. This includes
three large high schools with an at
tendance of more than 1000 students.
About II high school teachers are en-
ployed. The total number of teachers.
high. grammar and primary. including
principals and special teachers, is 500.
A few years ago Oakland voted a
bond issue of one and a quarter million
dollars, which has been used for school
buildings and sites This amount was
sufficient to furnish ample school ac-
commodations for the children of the
city. The growth, however, has been
so rapid that we have reached and
passed the limits of the equipment fur
nished by this bond issue.
The board of education has now made
a careful estimate of the needs of the
department and finds that it will be
necessary to vote bonds again for sew
eraI million dollars in order to provide
adequate school buildings and grounds
for the rapidly increasing population.
The recently annexed territory, in
cluding an area of more than 361a
square miles, contains school popule-
tion of average daily attendance of
about $500 These pupils are taught
by 129 teachers.
This newly annexed territory CON
tains many square miles of land that
can yet be purchased by the acrea ge.

EXCELLENT SCHOOLS
FOUND IN OAKLAND
By 7. w. McCLYMONDS,
City Superintendent Oakland Schools.

Oakland can not possibly do better
thing than to provide for the comm
generation adequate school sites ana
Fairgrounds in this annexed territory
The want of play yg-ound Is never fAlt
until the land is all occupied for ousi-
ness and residence purposes. and then
il is too late to obtain land at anything
like a reasonable price.
Several years ago the board of edu-
cation introduced manual training into
the department This has been extend
ed now until each child of the grammar
and primary apartment, except in the
newly annexed district, is receiving
training in this branch of education.
Manual training will be extended TO the
children of the newly annexed territory
as rapidly as the funds of the depart
ment will permit.
Our high schools are very over
crowded The percentage of attend
ance is increasing yearly. If we are to
maintain our high schools in d state of
efficiency new quarters must be pro-
vided. One of the crying needs of the
city school system today is a manual
training and commercial high school.
where the pupils who desire this line of
training may be accommodated in a
satisfactory way. We have a school of
this type well organized.
Last July there was created a de-
partment of health development and
school sanitation, with DIR. n. X. Fos-
ter as director.

CLIMATE NSURES

slant Outdoor Labor and
Flowers Bloom ALI Year

Climatic conditions in Oakland have
been carefully studied by the Oakland
chamber of commerce. which author
ICES the following statement:
There is no prostrating heat. no
fierce winds. no frozen ground. no ex-
cessive rains. no muggy days or hot
nights. no slush or snow. Light weight
clothing may be worn all the year.
How much this 'endIessly pleasant
weather has to do with health is shown
by statistics. The low death rate of
10 per 1000 of population tells story
of remar ka bic climatic equilibrium.
THE rainfall for Alameda county will
avera ge about IS inches annually and IS
for Oakland, but is confined 20 the late
fall. winter and early spring months
Such climate is not merely comfort;
il is an asset. 1t promotes health; il
