SCHOOL NOTES
Continued from Page One,

"Sohoo! Notes" column if | tell you Of a
very uniqGe schoolhouse recently visit
ed, and the teacher who is at the head of
it. The sShoohouse is in La Mesa, a
pretty suburban town of San Diego.
Cal La Mesa itself has been given the
honorary title of The Pasadena Of San
Diego, because it is as charmingy re-
lated 70 S. D. as the other Pasadena is
to Los Angeles. Nesting in a pretty
vale closely encompassed by hills that
lift their picturesque craggy heads round
about it on every side. the beautiful
homes of many alto do residents loo.
down into its tidy, well-kept business
centre and from their serene heights en-
joy the activities going on below. 1t is
on one or other of these rocky craRs that
such distinguished people as Madame
SchumaLn-E eink, Owen Wister and
Carrie Jacob Bonds. the writer OF school
songs. have built themselves beautiful
and novel bungalow homes.
And one of the most active activities
that these may look down upon is La
Mesa's publ;S school when its children
are out upon its spacious grounds at play.
1t is built Of white cement on the plan of
the Mexican dwelling, only one story in
height, the rooms forming the sides of a
large rectangular court ana having full
length glass doors and win
doas shaded by oyerhanging verandals
rooted with red tile and supported by
heavy corinihian pillars. also of cement
A balustrade and parapet of cement
arches the front. with wide entrance
The court is adorned with growing
plants and shrubs and a row OF palm
trees border the entire grounds in front.
From her desk in one OF these rooms
the presiding genius of this school NAV
look out across this court and into tho
glass-front rooms around it. taking in at
glance the larger part of her domain.
The principal OF this school is Miss
Fanny Marks. with a staff Of five teach
ers under her, and | am sure it will in
lerest her many Rocky Ford friends to
find her so located. Aoout six years ago
Miss Marks was a teacher in the Rocky
Ford schools. but her acquaintance and
her friendships date back farther than
that. for she was once a pupil in our
schools when her father was a praotic-
ing physician in our town and a member
of its school board. Since then she has
passed through Denver University and
has taken medal honors at the Arizona
i6rmal School at Flagstaff. A bron-
ohisl affection having compelled her
father to leave Colorado for Arizona.
He is now located in San Diego. and one
Of his chIafest pleasures is to invite such
friends as your humble servant to pie
INTO his auto and take a spin over the
fine boulevard which connects Ia Mesa
and that sohoolholse with his home in
the city. Though only IL miles cut
from the heart Of San Diego and its
beautiful bay, one climbs to an altitude
of 500 feet above the sea level in max
ing the trip. passing on the way some of
the prettiest orange and lemon groves in
Southern California.

of glycerin IN cases Of too profuse per-
SEPARATION of the feet, producing dis

due to a production of poisonous SUBJ

trouble will disappear.

SONGS Develop National Spirit.

It seems strange that the world has
not done more with singing. that is
with popular singing. In this regard
we are far behind some of the Other
nations. for example, the Germans
Thew have many choral societies, in
which they sing songs of the father
land, and do much to develop the ma
tional spirit.

this property, which had cost $500,
was paid for. During the first year
of the pastorate of Rev. Griffith i'm
provements were made on the old
church amounting to four hundred
dollars.
In the third year negotiations were
opened for the purchase of the new
location and church had the old prop
erty clear and $40. Mr.. E. F. Sperry,
then treasurer of the Iowa Bavtist
State Convention, assisted the church
to secure the new home, and by No
vember, 1904, the property was deed
ed to the church. The property has
been repaired three times, including
the repairs after the fire Of 1912.
The church is accessible to all parts
of the city, being near two excellent
car lines and is in walking distance
of all residents Of the West Side.
The church has a number of splen-
did people in its membership. It has
stood with the movements for civic
betterment and moral reform. It is
one Of the leading contributors to the
missionary work Of the Iowa colored
Baptists. It is now in a position to
do more than ever. And its men,
bership have manifested determine
ton to build large congregation and
a spiritual church.
