come to Long Beach to spend the day,
was searching everywhere for him and
was much afraid he had met with an
accident Shortly before midnight the
Gotta rancher telephoned to the police
department that a tiny wanderer had
arrived at his home. The description
given proved the boy to be Mrs. Rey-
nolds missing son. and an automobile
was sent after him. The little lad had
walked many miles, looking all over

come separated from her. Then he de-
cided to walk home.

PASADENANS NOW FAVOR
WILSON SITE FOR SCHOOL
Former Mayor Weight Says Men,
ory Should Be Honored

PASADENA, Aug. 2.-The project or
building a new high school on the
present Wilson site is gaining favor
in all quarters. Sentimental reasons
are being advanced in addition to the
argument that it would be more
economical than any plan yet pro-
posed, and at the same time afford an
opportunity to arrange the buildings 10
face on Marengo avenue, one OF Pasa-
dena's show streets.
The Wilson school site was named
after V. d. Wilson, who, in 1878,
donated to the school district then
known as San Pasqual district five
acres in what is now the business cen
ter of Pasadena. The tract extended
from Fair Oaks avenue east along
Colorado street, and when sold the pro
ceeds were used to buy the present
Wilson site and erect the Wilson
school. leaving a surplus of several
hundred dollars.
Former Mayor NJ. H. Weight, one of
the men who helped build the com
bination city hall and school house on
the original Wilson site thirty-tWo
wears ago. said last evening"
L have not investigated the feasibil-
itv of building a high school on the
nresent Wilson site, but whatever is
done with the school building or site
we must perpetuate the memory OF
the man who donated to this city It's

was sold it was understood by all con-
cerned that his name should hold a
prominent place in the cltys educa-
tional system
