The task of writing the history since the incorporation of the town in 1878 has been a simple one, as the records of the Board of Education and the files of the daily papers have been available. It has not been so easy to secure data for the period preceding the incorporation. The statements are sometimes incomplete, but as far as they are given they are reliable. Among those who have given information about the schools of this early period, I must mention especially, Mrs. Emma S. Wilkes, Mrs. Adelaide Marquand. Mr. Charles McClain, Mr. A. H. Broad and Mr. Thomas Hann. I have made use of one or two short quotations from Prof. Jones' History of the University of California for which due credit has been given. If the public derive as much pleasure from the reading of this history as the author has derived from the writing of it, he will feet amply repaid. S. D. WATERMAN HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS CHAPTER I HISTORICAL SKETCH In 1820, the last Spanish governor of California, who was likewise the first Mexican governor, conferred San Antonio Rancho upon Don Luis Peralta and, in 1842, Don Luis divided this into four equal parts, giving one part to each of his four sons. The portion extending from Temescal Creek to the present Contra Costa line fell to his son Jose. The earliest American settlers upon this tract came in 1852 when F. K. Shattuck, Geo. M. Blake and William Hillegass ac- quired a part of it by purchase and commenced farming on quite an extensive scale on land included in the present site of Berkeley. Alameda County was organized in 1853 from parts of Contra Costa and Santa Clara Counties. The present site of the University was selected by Henry D. Durant in 1858, and in 1860, the trustees decided that this should be the permanent site. Mention is made of this, because the location of the University and its growth have made the city of Berkeley what it is. Many people have chosen this city for their homes in order to have, for their children, the advantages offered by the University, without any great expense. The first settlement was at Ocean View, or West Berkeley, and the center of business and population was at the corner of Uni- versity and San Pablo Avenues. It would doubtless have re- mained in that vicinity but for the influence of the University. The name, Berkeley, was suggested by Mr. Frederic Billings, one of the trustees. After quoting the well known lines of Bishop Berkeley, — 8 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS "Westward the course of empire takes its way, The tirst four acts already passed, The fifth shall close the drama with the day, Time's noblest offspring is the last." he supKested the name, Berkeley, for the new settlement. This Butrv't'stion was taken by his associates and several years later when the town was incorporated, this name was given to it. Previous to the establishment of the University site, San Pablo Avenue, running north and south, was the only road leading to Oakland, while University Avenue was the only street running east and west. Between San Pablo Avenue and the Bay the strafTKling settlement of Ocean View sprang up and after the overland railroad was completed in 1869, grew quite rapidly. These two settlements were united and incorporated as the "Town of Berkeley" in 1878. Previous to this time, Berkeley proper was a small scattered settlement. There were a few houses on what is now known as Telegiaph Avenue, then known as Choate Street, near the entrance to the University Campus, at the end of the "Dinky" car line. There was a small settlement in the vicinity of Berkeley Station and a few scattered residences were found here and there. The principal settlement at the time of incorporation was at Ocean View. "We were a long way from San Francisco. We had either to follow the pace of a bob-tailed car to Oakland — a trip of over an hour — and thence to the city, or else take an omnibus which had the unpleasant habit of capsizing and breaking collar bones and arms. The destination of this omnibus was the ferry at Ocean View, or Jacob's Landing, — otherwise West Berkeley. From thi.s point we embarked upon a steamer that was very un- certain as to the time of starting and still more uncertain as to the time of arriving." Later, our communication with Oakland was greatly improved in two ways. One of these was by the way of Golden Gate by Southern Pacific steam car, — thence on San Pablo Avenue by honie car to Fortieth Street, and thence by cable car to Seventh and Broadway, Oakland. The other route was by a steam "Dinky" from the University grounds to Temescal at Forty-eighth Street, and thence by horse car to Oakland. The trip by either of these two rout«8 consumed fully an hour. Close connection was made HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 9 at Seventh and Broadway with the local trains for San Francisco. The regular local trains to Berkeley and Ocean View afforded occasional means of reaching the city. Compared with the ex- cellent transportation facilities of today, these earlier modes of communication seem primitive indeed. The Overland trains first came to San Francisco via Niles and the Livermore Valley in 1869. Several years later, the route via Tracy and Martinez was established, — the Valley Road was completed, the Benicia line to Sacramento was opened and West Berkeley began to grow and show signs of becoming later the manufacturing center of the town. Previous to the incorporation of the town, there were schools in Ocean View and also in East Berkeley, the school in Ocean View having been the first organized. The following sketch, though brief, seems to be correct as far as it goes: A small wooden building was erected on or near the corner of San Pablo Avenue and Virginia Street on land owned by Mr. Patrick Rooney. Later, Mr. Rooney deeded the land to the town "to be used for school purposes." The school was known as the "Ocean View School." People living in the outlying districts sent their children to this school and soon the little building gave way to a larger one and Mr. S. A. Penwell, afterwards Justice Penwell, took charge. Mr. M. M. Oilman succeeded Mr. Penwell and during his term a good school library was established. The school soon became so large that several assistants were needed. When Berkeley was incorporated the "Ocean View School" be- came known as the "San Pablo Avenue School." In 1877, Miss Ella J. Bynon, sister of Mrs. Adelaide Marquand, and now assistant superintendent of the public schools in Port- land, Oregon, opened a primary school for the smaller childi;en, on Sixth Street, near Delaware. As the San Pablo Avenue school was too far away for these little children to attend, this private school was a success from the start. The fii'st school in East Berkeley was a private school at the corner of University and Shattuck Avenues. The establishing of this school was largely due to the efforts of Mr. Jos. McClain, re- cently deceased. Mr. MacArthur was the first teacher, in 1872 or 1873, and the children who had been attending the "Ocean View School" were enabled to attend a school nearer home. The first Public School in East Berkeley was opened at the 10 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS corner of Berkeley Way and Shattuck Avenue, under Clapp's Hall. This school was soon afterwards moved to the west side of Shattuck Avenue next to McClain's grocery store on the lot where the Francis Shattuck building now stands. McClain's store wa« on the S. W. corner of Addison Street and the school room wms next to it. .\t first, Mr. Fuller taught the entire school, but during two years prior to the incorporation of the town, he had »*veral assistants. The school was continued in the same locality until the completion of the Kellogg School building in December, 1879. The new building was occupied at the opening of the term in January, 1880. HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 11 CHAPTER II THE FIRST BOARD OF EDUCATION A meeting of the members of the first Board of Education of the Town of Berkeley was held May 28, 1878, in the Town Hall on Shattuck Avenue, near Addison Street. The meeting was called to order by Prof. W. B. Rising. The following named di- rectors were present: Bruns, Dale, Kellogg, Johnson, and Rising. Director Starr was absent. Director Henry Bruns filed his cer- tificate of election as follows: U. S. of America, 1 State of California, 1- ss. County of Alameda. J I, Stephen G. Nye, County Judge for the County of Alameda in the State of California, do hereby certify that, at an election held in and for the Town of Berkeley in said County of Alameda on the 13th day of May, A. D. 1878, Henry Bruns was duly elected to the office of School Director of said town as appears upon the official returns of said election and the statement of votes cast now on file in my office. In witness whereof I hereunto affix my hand this 17th day of May, 1878. STEPHEN G. NYE, County Judge. State of California, I r ss. County of Alameda, j I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of school director of the Town of Berkeley to the best of my ability. HENRY BRUNS. STEPHEN G. NYE, County Judge, Witness. Martin Dale, William H. Johnson, Martin Kellogg, M. B. Starr, and W. B. Rising each filed a like certificate. 12 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS The Board or-anized by electing Martin Kellogg President, and W H Johnson President pro tern. E. L. Wright was ap- pointed Secretary. Prof. Kellogg held the office of President until 1884. ^ ,^ ^^^, At a meeting of the Board held on the evening of May 20th, 1884, the following preamble and resolution were unanimously adopted : "Whereas. By the expiration of his term of office, Professor Martin Kellogg is about to retire from the Board of which he has been a member since its organization, and for many years its Pres- ident ; and, "Whereas, His associates wish to place upon record their ap- preciation of his uniform courtesy toward his fellow-members; of his wise counsel and his untiring, unselfish fidelity in the discharge of his official duties, which have contributed so largely to the per- fect organization and present efficiency of the schools; "Resolved, That we express to Professor Kellogg, for our- selves and in the name of the teachers and pupils of our schools and the citizens of the Town of Berkeley, our profound regret at this loss to the interests committed to our charge." The first and third Tuesdays at 8 p. m. were fixed as the time for meeting. The place of meeting varied. At first it was in the Town Hall on Shattuck Avenue and then for six months in East and West Berkeley alternately. Finally, when the Town Hall on University Avenue and Sacramento Street was completed, the place of meeting was fixed permanently in the Town Hall. Mr. Oilman was elected Principal of the West Berkeley School and Mr. A. L. Fuller, Principal of the East Berkeley or Shattuck Avenue School. As has already been stated, this school was held at first in the basement story of Clapp's Hall, corner of Berkeley Way and Shattuck, and afterwards in rooms on the west side of Shattuck Avenue, second door south of Addison Street. On July 2nd, 1878, the first steps were taken for securing a lot for achool purposes in East Berkeley. Lots 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 on the south side of Center Street between Oxford and Shattuck as offered by Camall and Eyre were ordered bought if possible, and the President of the Board was authorized to secure the refusal of these lots at a price not to exceed $2800. At a regular meet- Inif of the Board held on January 7, 1879, these lots were ordered HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 13 purchased. Later, the land through to Allston Way was added to the tract already described. Strawberry Creek at this time ran down Allston Way from Fulton Street across Shattuck Avenue. The railroad crossed the creek by means of a trestle on the east side of Shattuck, and there was a bridge and a walk for ordinary travel on the west side. The creek crossed Oxford Street near Center and cut diagonally across to the corner of Fulton and Allston. The channel of the creek was in the middle of the street and there was a raised walk for "foot travelers" on the south side of Allston. When the Town Trustees completed the culvert for carrying the water of the creek, the school lot had a double frontage — Center Street and Allston Way. When the school lot was purchased there were but three houses on the block; — one, owned by Dr. J. S. Eastman as a residence, since moved to an Oxford frontage, — a cottage toward Shattuck Avenue owned and occupied as a residence by John Boyd, known as the "Boss Baggage Buster of Beautiful Berkeley," — and a small building occupied by Mikkelsen and Berry as a tailoring establishment. An apple orchard covered the rest of the block. On May 20th, 1879, Messrs. Bunce, Byxbee, Dornin, Palmer, Johnson and Kellogg presented their credentials as new members of the Board and they qualified by taking the oath of office. Mr. P. Munroe was elected the first census marshal under the law. On June 3rd, 1879, the Finance Committee, in accordance with previous insti-uctions, made the following report of the approxi- mate value of the school property: Real Estate $4050 Buildings 2250 Furniture 1254 Even at this early day the idea of having a special teacher of vocal music was entertained, and Mr. G. C. Starr proposed to teach the Science of Music for $30 per month. The Committee on School Houses and Sites were authorized to ask for plans and specifications for the erection of a two-story three-room building upon the lots recently purchased, "the plans to be of such a nature as to permit the addition of other rooms as needed." On January 29th, 1879, the plans of Samuel and J. C. Newsom were adopted, and after due formality in advertising for bids the contract was let to Mr. George Embury for $3365. 14 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS \s there was no money available for immediate use, Messrs. J. L. Barker. H. Bartlett, G. D. Dornin, H. A. Palmer and F. K. Shattuck a^eed to furnish the money as a loan. When the building was completed, it was named "The Kellogg Grammar School." It was occupied for school purposes December 11th, 1879. This was considered an event of so great importance that the Berkeley Advocate of December 18th, 1879, devoted a column to a descrip- tion of the building and an account of the steps leading to its erection. Mr. Fuller was retained as Principal until June, 1880. When ho resigned, Mr. W. W. Anderson was chosen in his place. At the same time Mr. Horton was made Principal of the San Pablo School. During the illness and absence of Mr. Horton, Mr. H. A. Nelson and Mr. Clement took his place. Mr. Anderson remained until 1884, when he resigned and the Board elected Mr. Henry Veghte to fill the vacancy. The following from the annual report of Mr. Berryman, Pres- ident of the Board of Education, is given to show that the demand for additional room is nothing new. The same questions are to be solved every year: PRESIDENT'S REPORT. "In reviewing the business of the past year ending May 19th, 1885, I wish in the first place to impress upon your minds the necessity of considering at once the most important measure of furnishing accommodations for a rapidly increasing number of children. The school census shows that we have 817 children between the ages of 5 and 17 yeai's, and we have accommodations for 230 at the San Pablo Avenue School and 264 at the Kellogg, leaving 323 for whom provision must be made. "The Board will perceive from the financial statement here- with submitted that the funds on hand are barely sufficient for meeting the demands against us to August 1st, and it is the im- perative duty of this Board to make provision for the expenses that will accrue until the town taxes are paid." In order to meet the first part of this report, steps were taken to provide, at once, additional rooms in North Berkeley. In June, ISBf), Directors Jones, Burr, Andrews and Heyward were appointed with power to act. They were to receive pro- posals from property holders to build a school house in North HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 15 Berkeley and to rent the same to the town. Mr. Berryman built the house and aftei-wards sold it to Mr. Banister. This house was on the northwest corner of Rose and Milvia Streets, and was opened for school purposes with two classes in 1886, with Miss Juliet Lumbard and Mrs. N. M. Norman as teachers. Some of our very best teachers served an apprenticeship in this little building. Among these may be named Misses Lumbard, Woodall, Cotrel, Barrows, Hartley, Bryant, Mrs. Potwin and others. In 1897 the building was purchased and moved from the old site to a lot on the east side of Milvia Street between Rose and Berryman Streets. It was raised and changed to a three-room building and in 1905 it was sold and converted into an apartment house. In 1891 the entire Eighth grade of East Berkeley used a room in this building under the able management of Miss Lumbard. This class, with its teacher, was afterwards moved to a rented room on the north side of Center Street over Aitken's art store. This condition held until the completion of the Whittier School building in 1892. Miss Lumbard's class was transferred to the Whittier, and she became the first principal. The growth north of Center Street was very rapid for several years. It became necessary to provide rooms for a class or two elsewhere. At this time no charge for fare between Vine Street and Dwight Way was made by the Southern Pacific Railroad. As an unoccupied room in the LeConte School building was available, a class was transferred from the Northern to the Southern district, taking the 8:30 A. M. train to Dwight Way, and the 2:40 P. M. train from Dwight Way north. The school session for this class began at 8:45 A. M. and closed at 2:30 P. M. 16 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS CHAPTER III RENTED ROOMS At different times since 1890, it has been found necessary to make use of rented rooms to accommodate the ever increasing number of pupils. It is true that these rooms, or the most of them, furnished shelter from the winds and rain, but they were in no way suited to school purposes. Vacant lots and the public streets were used for playgrounds and the sanitary conditions were in most cases fierce. Unless one has had experience with an environment of this kind he cannot fully appreciate the difficulties to be overcome. These conditions were a serious handicap for years, but they have been remedied by degrees by the erection of new buildings and by making additions to the old. At the present time (1917) the number of rented rooms is small. The following is only a partial list of rooms rented during the years that have passed: On the 11th day of August, 1891, the Committee on School Houses and Sites reported that they had rented from Mr. Peter Maloney a room at the corner of Channing and Shattuck for $30 a month, with the refusal for another room adjoining for $50 a month for the two. The second room was needed soon after and the principal, assisted by Bob Cuthbert, the janitor, spent Saturday afternoon and the greater part of Sunday in preparing the room for occupancy. Blackboards were not available on such short notice and Hyloplate was not yet on the market, so as a substitute very thick Manila paper of the proper width was fastened to the walls and after receiving two thorough coats of Liquid Slating and after drying for a day or two the Blackboard (?) was ready for use. These two rooms were retained for several years and were known as "Maloney's Seminary." Four small rooms on Dwight Way were rented from Mrs. Calhoun. The teacher here surely had "to look around the cor- ner." There wa.s a front hall, a front parlor, a back parlor and ■ dining room connected at various angles and the teacher's desk HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 17 was situated so as to command all of these angular situations. If you do not think that the teacher here had a picnic, ask Miss Bergen, who is still doing valiant service for the children of Berkeley. Then there were two rooms at the corner of Blake and Shattuck in what was then known as the "Simrak Block," also one room in Odd Fellows' Hall. The Simrak building still re- mains just as it appeared twenty or more years ago, when it was rented by the Board. In 1893 additional rooms were fitted up at the corner of Vine and Shattuck for the use of a primary class. A lease of the Berkeley Gymnasium which had just been vacated by Mr. Bates after being used for years as a pi-ivate school was taken for five months from August 1st, 1896, and this lease was afterward extended to a year. A small building on Ashby Avenue near Adeline Street which had been used for a plumber's shop, was taken for school purposes. It was in this little building that Mrs. Elliot began her invaluable work for the chil- dren of Berkeley. Two rooms in South Berkeley Hall were taken to relieve the pressure in the LeConte School. A room in Odd Fellows' building and another in Clapp's Hall were secured pending the completion of "The Bancroft Way School Building." Wilken's Hall has been rented for several years as an assembly hall for the McKinley School. For a year after the earthquake in 1906 several rooms were rented temporarily. These will be mentioned in detail later. In addition to these that have been mentioned, on account of the failure of the Town Trustees to erect a building of sufficient capacity on the Garfield lot, it has been found necessary within two years of the opening of this school to move two bungalows from the Whittier School lot, and now in the middle of the fall term of 1917 a room in a nearby private home has been fitted up as a class room. k 18 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS CHAPTER IV THE BERKELEY HIGH SCHOOL The Hiph School is and always has been essentially a prepara- tor>- school. For a number of years immediately following the •ccrcditinjr of the school the University practically controlled its course of study and general policy. The domination of the Uni- versity over the High Schools of the State reached its climax during the last years of the late President Kellogg's term. As soon as President Wheeler took charge there was a change in the relationship of the two and for several years there has de- veloped a community of interest which is very helpful to all of the schools of the state, but especially the High Schools. The change in the method of accrediting and the lack of the former dictatorial spirit have tended to bring about the present harmoni- ous relations. The gro\vth of the High School is out of all proportion to the increase in the population of the tovra, but this condition holds jfood in University towns all over the country. The grovrth of this school may be seen from the number of graduates for several years as follows: 1884 4 1890 14 1896 72 1904 118 1916 305 1917 507 The enrollment for different years is as follows: 1902 567 1906 965 1907 1015 1908 1077 In 1910 the 9th grades were taken from the High School and placed with the 7th and 8th grades, forming four Intermediate schools. In 1916 the enrollment in the 10th, 11th and 12th years HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 19 was 103G and in the 9th grades 573, thus bringing the High School enrollment under the old classification up to 1609. Even with the additional buildings and the additional equipment that have been provided the school has always been handicapped by a lack of adequate rooms and the essential means for carrying on first- class educational work. The 9th grade class had been transferred from the Allston Way School to the High School proper on the completion of the building on Grove Street in 1901. On August 5th, 1895, a committee consisting of Directors Norton, Robertson and Engebretsen was appointed to communi- cate with the Board of Regents of the University, asking for a lease, for a term of years, of a lot for the use of the High School, this lot being on the University Campus at University and Oxford. At the same meeting Director Robertson advocated the em- ployment of a special teacher of drawing for the pupils in the High School, and at a subsequent meeting Prof. Henry T. Ardley addressed the Board and recommended Miss Mary L. Brehm for the position. Miss Brehm was elected and in addition to her work in the High School she was to outline the work for the grades and to hold weekly meetings after school hours for in- structing the teachers. A riot among the teachers did not en- sue, but there was severe criticism and an active opposition was developed, but the action of the Board was sustained and carried to a successful issue by the "level headed" teachers in the depart- ment. This leads me to remark, that whenever teachers are dis- satisfied with the requirements of "the powers that be" a change is always desirable. In August, 1895, the following resolution was unanimously adopted by the Board: "That the Board of Town Trustees be requested to take immediate steps for the erection of a High School building of not less than 16 rooms. (This building was not provided until 1901.) In 1896 a small building 26 by 42 was erected on the school lot directly east of the main building. These rooms were for the use of the French and German classes, but they were used for other departments as the situation demanded. In 1899 the build- ing was used by the City Superintendent of Schools for an office and storeroom. In 1890 it was moved to Allston Way next to the Baptist Church at the foot of Fulton Street. It was used for the i 20 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS Superintendent's office until the Board rented more commodious rooms at 2171 Shattuck Avenue. „, u- ^ > The cornerstone of the new building was laid on Washington s Birthday February 22nd, 1901, by the Grand Lodge of Masons. This was' a notable event for Berkeley. The City Superintendent of the Los Angeles schools, Mr. Jas. A. Foshay, was at that time the Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Masonic order. Durant Lodge No. 2(38, F. and A. M., under Hon. W. H. Waste, Worship- ful Master, had the management. The following speakers took part: For the Town Trustees Capt. W. H. Marston For the Board of Education Prof. E. J. Wickson For the High School Alumni Harry H. Johnson For the Student Body Will McCleave The principal address was given by President Wheeler. Prof. Wickson spoke in part as follows: "The Board of Education unites with the Town Trustees in ex- tending to the public a cordial welcome to this very interesting ceremonial. We have been waiting for this event for years. It supplies a pressing need and shows the proper municipal spirit. "The Berkeley High School has existed for twenty years with- out any right except a squatter's claim. Not until this building shall have been completed will the High School have a roof to which it has a legal claim. "It was a strong and prosperous school under the old condi- tions because it had the good will and confidence of the people, a faithful corps of teachers, and loyal and studious pupils. "Gentlemen of the Board of Trustees, on behalf of the Board of Education, I wish to announce publicly the debt of gratitude we owe to you for your faithful work in perfecting the plans which will result in establishing our 'New High School.* 'Let us pledge ourselves and our children to provide adequately for its future.' " In Shattuck Hall, on Wednesday evening, February 22nd, as ■ fitting ending of the day, Vere Hunter's dramatization of "King Washington," entitled "The Spy," was given for the benefit of the iichool library fund. A well chosen cast of characters did full justice to Mr. Hunter's fine dramatic conception. On Thursday evening, after a varied program, the entertain- ment ended with the farce in one act entitled, "FOR THE FIRST TIME," with the following all-star cast: HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 21 WILFORD BURTON — "For the First Time" de- fying his ideals H. Leo Dungan SYLVIA GORDON — "For the First Time" a model Miss Carolyn Morse NINA, a little drudge — "For the First Time" in love Miss Mary Kennedy MRS. DE SOTO BEANS, a wealthy but eccentric widow — "For the First Time" domineered.... Miss Virginia Pierce FRED TORRINGTON, an actor — "For the First" and last time utterly fooled Mr. Chas. T. Dozier The school library profited from these entertainments. At last the new building was ready for use. It was dedicated and formally received by the Board of Education on October 26th, 1901. The program at the exercises of dedication was as fol- lows: Invocation Rev. R. L. Halsey Music Orchestra Address of Welcome Principal M. C. James Vocal Trio — Mrs. Thos.

M., on the 22 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 24th day of Auirust, 1907. The following: items referring to the new building ami taken from the records of the Board of Educa- tion furnish official information concerning this interesting and important event. July 23. 1907 "The President stated that the architects of the new Hiph School had communicated with him in regard to laying the cornerstone and that it was his opinion that the Chamber of Commerce should be asked to take charge of nrranjrements proper for the occasion. After discussion Director Young moved that a committee of three be ap- pointed and that the Chair act, ex-officio, to make the neces- sary arrangements. There being no objection, it was so ordered." Aujrust 6, 1907 — "The Chair informed the Board that it had ap- pointed as the committee on arrangements for the laying of the cornerstone of the new Polytechnic High School, the High School Committee, to which he had added Director Sutherland and of which he had appointed Director Young as chairman. "Director Young reported that 2 o'clock, August 24, 1907, had been fixed for the occasion and that President Wheeler had expressed his willingness to make the address. He also requested authority to make such expenditures as might be necessary to make the event a success. His request was granted unanimously." Augu.st 13, 1907 — "Director Young reported as chairman of the committee having charge of the laying of the cornerstone of the new Polytechnic School on the 24th day of August, 1907, and stated that the committee had engaged a band and had made extensive preparations for the event. He reported that he had appointed Director Loring to act on the committee during the absence of Director Lewis."

Ide Wheeler Laying of the Cornerstone By Masonic Lodge Music — Pilgrims' Chorus (Tannhauser) Golden Gate Park Band Dr. J. S. Eastman, for several years a member of the Board of Education, presented for the High School yard two fine palms that had been growing in his yard at the corner of Oxford and Center Streets and these palms were transplanted and are now growing on the Grove Street frontage of the school lot. In 1902 a "Sequoia Gigantea" was presented to the school by Mr. John Muir and was planted with appropriate exercises in the school yard south of the building. This gift came through C. L. Biedenbach's personal acquaintance with Mr. Muir. Mr. Bieden- bach had charge of the program. Soon after the completion of the Strawberry Creek culvert the Kellogg building and the little two-room building already men- tioned were moved to Allston Way, these lots having been secured some time before. In 1904 a part of the property, 182 feet on Center Street and 100 feet in depth was leased for 10 years at an annual rental of $1200. This lease was renewed in 1914. In 1909 the old Kellogg building was leased to Mr. F. H. Meyer at a monthly rental of $70. The building is still used by Mr. Meyer for the "California School of Arts and Crafts." COURSE OF LECTURES. During 1893 and 1894 a very instructive course of lectures was given in connection with the regular work in History and English. Dr. H. M. DuBose of the M. E. Church, South, gave three lectures: "The Passing of Arthur" "The Early Legendary Days of England" "Myths of Scandinavia." Prof. Thos. R. Bacon of the History department of the Uni- 24 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS versity gave a very vivid lecture on the "Battle of Austerlitz," illustrated at the blackboard in such a manner as to give to the lislonors a lasting impression of this great battle in w^hich Napoleon defeated the combined armies of Russia and Austria in 1805. Then we had Profs. Bradley, Kellogg, Moses and Cook of the University faculty. Dr. Homer B. Sprague gave a lecture based on "Some of Shakespeare's Plays." Dr. C. C. Stratton, a lecture on "Potential Forces," and not the least in interest, though the last to be named. Miss McLean, fresh from her three years of work in the slums of New York, gave such a description of her work that all who heard wei-e impressed with the earnestness and love for humanity that called forth the three years of self-sacrificing labor. Later, when Dr. Jordan had become settled at Stanford, he jfave his lecture on the "Passion Play" in the First Congregational Church, corner of Durant Avenue and Dana Street. Still later, he ^ve his lecture on the "Ascent of the Matterhorn." Dr. A. C. Hirst of the M. E. Church gave two wonderful lec- tures on "Early Colonial Days." All of these lectures were open to the public and were well attended and were very popular, not only with the pupils, but with the community at large. Several pages that follow are from a report written a number of years ago. Some changes have been made to fit the present time. In May, 1880, a special committee, consisting of Messrs. Kel- logg, Palmer and Johnson, appointed at a previous meeting to investigate as to the advisability of establishing a High School, presented a report, which closes as follows: "We therefore recommend that a High School class be formed at the beginning of the next school year, to be under the care of a Grammar Principal, without any increase of salary for the pres- ent, and that the course of study for the first year be substan- tially as follows: "First Term — Algebra, Physical Geography, English Compo- sition, Language. "Second Term — Algebra, Zoology, Greek and Roman History or Latin, Language. "The course for future years is to be fixed hereafter." December 21, 1880, the Committee on Classification reported HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 25 that there were seven scholars pursuing High School studies — five in the Kellogg School and two in the San Pablo Avenue School, and recommended that these classes be united as soon as possible. In 1882 a complete course of study was adopted, and the High School was so graded as to allow students to prepare for any department of the State University. W. W. Anderson was the first principal. In July, 1881, the following rule was adopted with reference to the tuition of outside pupils: "Non-resident parents or guardians who pay taxes to the town of Berkeley shall be entitled to send, free of charge, one pupil belonging to their own families for every $500 valuation of Berkeley property on which they pay taxes, and no more." The sum of $1000 was afterward substituted for $500. The rate of tuition for other non-resident pupils was fixed at $11 per term. In 1884 the High School was placed upon the "accredited list" by the Faculty of the State University. In September, 1884, W. W. Anderson resigned as Principal of the High School. Directors Jones, Palmer and Jebens were appointed a committee on filling this vacancy, and as a result of their labors, on September 16, Henry Veghte was elected Principal. Mr. Veghte continued as Principal until June, 1890, when S. D. Waterman was elected to the position, which he filled until 1899, when he was elected Superintendent. Mr. M. C. James was chosen principal in 1899, and filled the position until 1910. With the continued growth of the town there has been a corresponding in- crease in the number of pupils in the High School, the increase being from 270 enrolled in 189G to over 1000 enrolled in 1917. On July 9, 1894, a special election as required by law, to legalize the establishment of the High School was held, and car- ried by a handsome majority. At the first meeting of the Board subsequent to the election, the school was formally christened "The Berkeley High School." In 1901 the Board of Town Trustees erected the building on Grove Sti-eet, and it was thought that there would be ample accommodations for at least ten years, but in three years after the opening of the school in the new building there was a demand for more room. It was determined recently that the best plan for providing for •>6 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS the lareelv increased numbers who were calling for High School training would be to establish Manual Training as a part of the course for those who might elect such work, and to provide the necessary shops and equipment, as well as an additional building for the Science Department and an Assembly Hall. The School District voted bonds for $200,000 for the purpose of securinjr additional land and for erecting and furnishing the necessary buildings. ^ t:, ,. The Board of Education were aided by the Committee of Borty iippointed bv the Chamber of Commerce and by the different im- provement clubs in placing the needs of the department before the people and in carrying the project to a successful vote. The bonds were purchased by the First National Bank of Berkeley at a premium of S^^ per cent; plans adopted and the contract was let for a Class A steel frame and reinforced con- crete building, to be completed by July, 1908. In preparing an account of the organization and development of the entire school system, it is impossible to avoid repetitions and it is likewise impossible to secure the continuity of arrange- ment so much to be desired. However, as the High School is under consideration at the present writing, it will be wise perhaps to fin- ish as far as possible the account of matters pertaining to this school. As has been stated elsewhere, the High School was organized in the Kellogg School building, but the growth of the tovni was such that the demands for more room were very urgent. During the last year of Mr. Anderson's administration in 1883 an addition of four class rooms was made to the Kellogg building and addi- tional rooms costing $1900 were built in West Berkeley. In June, 1884, the old Congregational Church building on Choate Street (now known as Telegraph Avenue), near Dwight Way, was pur- chaAcd for $1256 and was moved to the rear of the school lot, the rear of the building being on Allston Way, and the front opening upon the school yard. This purchase was made possible when the church completed their new building on the corner of Dana Street and Durant Avenue. Later Mr. W. R. Pond purchased from the school board a lot fronting on Center Street — 51 feet on Center and 100 feet in depth. This old church building went with the lot. It was moved forward to Center Street and now forms the second story of HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 27 numbers 2128-2130 Center Street. It is at present the place of worship of the First Jewish Congregation of Berkeley. The following letter from Mr. Anderson, written several years ago gives some additional information. I give his letter just as he wrote it. "My Dear Mr. Waterman: — I am not able to help you very much as I have no data and I am not sure in what year I went to Berkeley. The records of the Board will show that. The building was known as the Kellogg School Building. In the building were the primary and grammar grades for East and North Berkeley. The teachers were Miss French, Miss DeWolf and Miss Davis. The High School enroll- ment was 11 — in most subjects in one class, so that it was not at all difficult for me to teach all the subjects in addition to the superintendence of the other rooms. West Berkeley was entirely independent of us, but under the same Board, but we did not run upon the same lines of work at all. West Berkeley was graded as far as possible on the plan of the Oakland schools. They had a good man, Mr. Horton, as Principal. Our school was not modeled after any other school on the coast at the time. Believing that we were virtually independent of the county as much as Oakland, with the tacit consent of the Board we introduced what is now so common, the reading of standard books instead of the regular school readers, and made such other changes as the best authori- ties advised, so far as circumstances permitted. At the beginning of the second year. Miss DeWolf became as- sistant in the High School. When she became Mrs. Slate, Miss M. A. Kendall succeeded her in the High School. Miss Kendall is now (1909) in one of the Chicago High Schools. Miss Bartling was made primary teacher at the end of my third year and was also made the teacher of Greek Prose Compo- sition. (This was a combination, surely). She who was Miss Bartling is now Mrs. Sanford, wife of Prof. Sanford of Clark University, Worcester, Mass. Notwithstanding our small school and slender equipment we were the first accredited High School in the state, Oakland, Low- ell and Stockton following in the order named. The chairman of the Board claimed that our accrediting was upon the 'best basis.' I was surprised to find that we outranked one large school in the one subject that I was the most dubious about. 28 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS No graduation was the policy of the Board and no diplomas were piven until a year or two after I left Berkeley to go to Sac- ramento. I was in Berkeley nearly four years." Yours very sincerely, WILLIAM WALKER ANDERSON. Mr. Anderson resigrned June 30th, 1884. He is still (1917) occupied in educational work and his academy at Irvington is noted for excellence in discipline and thoroughness in instruction. Mr. Henry Veghte became Principal when Mr. Anderson resigned. The Board of Education now proceeded upon the assumption that, according to the definition of a city as given in the California code, Berkeley, though incorporated as a town, is legally and in fact, a City. At this time City Boards of Education had authority to appoint City Boards of Examiners, and these Boards were empowered to grant "City Certificates" to applicants who passed the required tests. These "City Certificates" were of greater value to the hold- ers than either State Certificates or ordinary County Certificates, as the law provided that persons teaching under them could be re- moved only upon conviction of incapacity or unprofessional con- duct, upon charges duly made and upon trial duly conducted. These "certificates" virtually secured for the holder a life tenure. To carry out the plan outlined by the Board, Prof. Wm. Cary Jones was appointed "City Superintendent," for the Town of Berkeley, on October 7th, 1884. President W. T. Reid and Professors Kellogg, Rising and Cook, all of the University, were appointed a "City Board of Examiners." On October 28th this Board reported that they had granted a "Hijrh School City Certificate" for the town of Berkeley to Mr. Henry Veghte, on examination. Later, this certificate was declared invalid by the Superior Court of Alameda County, Judge Ellsworth on the bench. MUSIC IN THE HIGH SCHOOL. In this school there was always a well organized chorus. Mr. Vejchte was a fine pianist as well as an all 'round musician. He waj» very successful as a leader and during these early days of the life in the High School, vocal music was a prominent and very ■irrecable feature. In fact, in all of the grades, the work in music HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 29 was carried on by the regular teachers and in many instances with excellent results. In 1891 a series of musical entertainments and tableaux were given in Unity Hall for the benefit of the school library. There were 8 tableaux from "Miles Standish," 8 tableaux from "Evangeline," and 8 tableaux from "The Hanging of the Crane." This was the first entertainment given entirely by the pupils and it was patronized by the entire public. The musical part of the program was a featux'e not yet forgotten by those who took part. THE ORCHESTRA. In 1892 an orchestra was organized. The first orchestra con- sisted of thirteen violins, (all first violins, of course), one cornet that was always one-fourth to one-eighth of a tone flat when played. We had in addition to this aggregation of talent a big "Bass Fiddle" played by Vere Hunter. In a short time several of the violinists concluded that the second violin part was better suited to their musical attainments and our cornet player learned how to tune his instrument and also how to play in tune. We finally settled down to six first violins, seven seconds, one cornet and the "Bass Fiddle." At the beginning of the next term we were reinforced by the addition of two cornets, two trombones, a flute, a clarinet, an oboe, a 'cello, and two violas. On state occasions Mr. Clarence Merrill played the flute with our boys and girls and Mr. Frank McClain played the drums and cjinbals. We were exceedingly fortunate in having Mr. John S. Drew as leader of the violins. Mr. Drew, who is now busily engaged in educational work in San Francisco, was at this time teacher of Science in the Berkeley High School. Mr. Alva W. Stamper, who taught Mathematics in the High School, was also of great assistance in the orchestra, as he was very skill- ful with the trombone. Mr. Stamper is now at the head of the Mathematical department in the Chico State Normal School. Later King Sweesy, at that time a student, took his place. In all we had thirty members and this orchestra furnished the music for all occasions such as "Class Day" stunts and other stu- dent entertainments. For "Graduation Exercises," when some- thing more finished was expected, the Board usually employed Noah Brandt's Orchestra from San Francisco. ao HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS After existing for several years, this orchestra disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared. The leader had become City Super- intendent of Schools, many of the members had graduated, Mr. Drew had removed to San Francisco, and Mr. Stamper had gone to fill an important position in the Chico Normal school, as has al- ready been stated. A year or two later an attempt to reorganize was made, but a practice game of football by the U. C. students was more at- tractive to most of the members than a dry rehearsal with 7 or 8 violins, a piano and a cornet and the attempted reorganization failed. This is a sketch of the pioneer work in this line. The school has now, and has had for several years, an excellent orchestra under excellent leadership. At the present time (1917) all of the large schools have well orjranized orchestras. Miss Hartley, the supervisor, has been un- tiring in her efforts to bring about this result. She has arranged for lessons upon the violin, the cornet and the clarinet at a nom- inal cost for all who are anxious for instruction and a number have already availed themselves of this opportunity to become pro- ficient and to form valuable acquisitions to the orchestra of their own local schools and later to reinforce the orchestra at the High School. THE MANDOLIN CLUB. About the year 1899 six of the boys and a dozen or more girls orpanized a club for self improvement and general sociability and for several terms the Mandolin Club was a very successful insti- tution, but like all amateur organizations that have no leading force to keep things moving, the interest failed and the club died quietly and no attempt was made to bring it back to life or to orjfanize another club in its place. The school has been fortunate from the very start in the selec- tion of its corps of teachers. During the earlier years of its exist- ence while the school was in the old Kellogg building on Center Street, in the English department we had Miss Bartling and Miss McLean. While Miss McLean was doing "Settlement work" in New York City for three years, Miss Ada H. Ramsdell took her place. In the Classical line of work Mr. Veghte was an authority. Since his time Mr. S. D. Waterman, Mr. James D. Meeker, Mr. HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 31 M. C. James, Mrs. Stone and Miss Clayes have contributed much to the success of the school in this department prior to the removal of the school to the Grove Street building. In History, Mr. Will Hackley, Miss Ruth Hobson and Miss Eva v. Carlin established the work on an excellent basis. Miss Carlin, who was one of the very best in every line of school work, having been granted a year's leave of absence, visited Europe and when she returned she brought a complete equipment for her work. Her room in the new building had been arranged as she would have it, during her absence, and she entered upon her work with more than her customary energy. She possessed the happy fac- ulty of inspiring her pupils with a desire for the best, and those who were so fortunate as to be under her direct instruction will give her credit for the high standards that she placed before them as models and for the excellent character of the instruction that she gave. She was forced by ill health to resign her position and after years of suffering she went to partake of the reward of a good and faithful servant. The school and the community at large felt the loss. Such teachers are rare and their influence lives long after their daily presence has departed. We must also mention the following v/ho were successful work- ers at this early time: In Mathematics — Mr. Stamper, Miss Edmonds. In Science — Miss Edmonds, Mr. John Drew, Mr. T. Sid Elston, Mr. D. R. Wood. In French — Prof. E. B. Lamare. In Spanish — Prof. Gompertz. In German — Miss Edmonds, Mr. Karl Henrichs. The Art and Music departments as well as the Domestic Science and the Manual Training have been fully organized later and will be mentioned at the proper place. As the school has continued to increase in numbers and as the courses of study have been enlarged and new subjects added, additions have been made to the faculty. The corps of teachers has always been among the very best in Califoi-nia. The following have been principals: Mr. Anderson, until 1884. Mr. Veghte, from 1884 to 1890. Mr. Waterman, from 1890 to 1899. Mr. James, from 1899 to 1910. 38 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS Mr. Brink, from 1910 to 1912. Mr. Biedenbach, from 1912 to — . It is an interesting study to examine and compare the course of study of 25 years ago with the extended and elaborate courses now offered. This will indicate clearly the advance made in the work of the secondary schools. Some mention must be made of athletics, debating societies, and the school paper. The old cinder track on the campus has been the scene of many a spirited contest in athletics between the teams from the different high schools belonging to the A. A. L. (Amateur Athletic Lea^e). The Berkeley High School still holds the records for several events won at these contests, but the surprise that fell upon us when the huskies from Ukiah High School came in with a dash and took everything in sight was great indeed. The League managers were selected, one from each school, and the schools remote from the bay were represented in the management by proxies. It generally happened that the Oak- land High School controlled the affairs of the league. The rivalry between Berkeley and Oakland was very bitter, and the dissatis- faction increased continually. Each school took advantage of ever>'thing calculated to advance the interests of its own track team. This dissatisfaction culminated when the annual Field Day of the A. A. L. was held on the Olympic grounds in San Francisco. On the night before the events were to take place, the man- agers disqualified the "star" performer of the Berkeley team be- cause it was charged that he became a professional when he pitched in a game of baseball for pay during the vacation. The Berkeley people did not know of this action until the news came accidentally while we were crossing the bay. Then you may imag- ine that bad blood developed and it really looked as if the affair would end in a skirmish. However, a compromise was effected and Spencer was allowed to do his stunts, subject to a later de- cision of the managers. Under this compromise Berkeley won the day by many points, but when the Board met they reversed the decision, threw out all of the points that Spencer had won, and irave the Field Day to Oakland. From this time the interest in the league flagged and finally the league itself died a natural death. Foot Ball, Base Ball and Basket Ball took the place that the field events had formerly filled. The same rivalry between HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 38 the schools still existed for several years, but it appears now to have almost disappeared. DEBATING SOCIETIES. In the early nineties tvi^o debating societies were organized — the Forum for the boys, and the Ecclesia for the girls. The mem- bers of these societies were very enthusiastic. They were sup- ported for several years by a large percentage of the Student Body. Yearly contests between the 0. H. S. and the B. H. S. took place and the results were very evenly balanced. These contests were held alternately in Shattuck Hall in Berkeley and in the High School gymnasium in Oakland. The local school usually gave a reception and banquet to the visiting team. STUDENT CONTROL. For two years after Mr. James left the High School in 1910 until 1912, when Mr. Biedenbach was elected principal, the "Stu- dent Control" idea was thoroughly tested. This test clearly showed that even with student control there must be a power in charge of affairs, to regulate and suggest. With the advent of the new principal, however, the entire system of discipline was remodeled. A pamphlet explaining the handling of the various activities in the administration of the school has been prepared. Extracts from this pamphlet are given below. The following subjects are treated here: "The Advisory System." "School Journalism." "The School Assembly." "The Dramatic Club." "The Method of Handling School Money." "Athletics." "Music." THE ADVISORY SYSTEM. The advisory system aims to bring about in the large high school that close connection between the faculty and the student which occurs naturally in the smaller schools, but which is not found in the larger schools unless a definite effort is made to secure it. As conducted in the Berkeley High School the method is briefly this: 34 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS "The entire student body is divided into sections of the same jrrade, approximately twenty-five members each. The boys and the g-irls are in separate sections. These sections are formed when the class first enters the school and remain the same for the entire three years. This arrangement is an important factor in securing the success of the plan, as it affords the opportunity for the adviser to become thoroughly acquainted with the members of his section. The duties of the adviser are varied. In the first place, he helps the students to plan their high school course. In Berkeley, where a very large proportion of the high school graduates enter the University, this means that the adviser be familiar with the courses offered by the University and with the group of subjects re- quired in the high school for entrance to these courses. In any community the adviser should know the requirement for entering the higher educational institutions and the various fields of work open to high school graduates in that community. The Advisory System thus becomes a simple and practical form of vocational guidance. "The adviser must at all times be aware of the quality of the work being done by his students. The report cards which are fur- nished three times each semester give him the required informa- tion. "Each student is responsible to his adviser for his absence from school. In case of tardiness or absence, immediate communica- tion with the parents has been most effective. "There is a fifteen-minute advisory period every day, this period coming in the middle of the morning. At times when there is a general assembly meeting, the students are seated in the audi- torium with their advisers. "All general notices are read at this period, thus making it possible for the Principal, through the advisers, to direct student opinion and student action in the most effective way." From this synopsis, though brief, the value in a large school of a system as outlined above will be seen. It is essential to good discipline and successful management. SCHOOL JOURNALISM. The "Olla Podrida" has had a varied success since the first num- ber was i.ssued and there have been very many creditable issues. However, a large proportion of poor issues not in the least repre- HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 35 senting the best in the life of the school, with poorly printed pages, of poorly written articles, questionable jokes and cartoons and a generally careless way of "doing things," led to a complete change in the management. In the earlier years of its existence some of the business man- agers developed into very skillful financial agents and the ex- perience during these years, when the success of the year depended upon the advertising patronage, doubtless contributed to their success later. A good paper is of great service in keeping the school spirit active and in informing the public of the varied activities of the school life. The "OUa Pod" is now published semi-annually and is the illustrated review of the school life. It is published without advertisements and relies upon the subscrip- tions of the pupils for its support. "Since the spring of 1912 the Berkeley High School has pub- lished the 'Weekly News' every Monday morning. This news- paper aims to present concise accounts of recent school events and through its news and editorial columns to unify and uplift the students' various interests. A fee of one dollar collected annually from each pupil includes a subscription to the paper. Eight local advertisements furnish its weekly income. The funds connected with this department are carefully audited the same as all of the other funds and a strict business air is seen in all the business departments of the school. Assisting the editor and manager are a staff of eight students, a faculty adviser, and the auditor. Only those who have completed the course in High School Journalism are eligible to become candidates for the office of either manager or editor. No article may be printed without the sanction of the faculty adviser. Five issues of the 'Weekly News' are published by the class in Journalism, the members electing their manager, editor, and assistants. Practice in Writing, Preparing Copy, Proof Reading and Distributing are thus given. The class also acts as a publicity committee, preparing press notices for the local and the city papers, and posters and programs for all of the school activities that require them. "One of the most delicate problems with this and all other school activities is to see that the faculty adviser shall not rob the students of their initiative or originality nor blight the original spontaneity of youth. "There is no doubt that there should always be a teaching repre- 86 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS sentative working with the school staff in all student activities. "The course in High School Journalism is an elective one, which may be substituted for High English 11, and it is open to pupils who receive first or second grade in the English work of the preceding tei-m. No text book is used, the class making their own manual. "The 'Weekly News' has always yielded a surplus. After pay- ing the expenses of printing and an allowance of $1.50 each per week to the manager and the editor, the balance of the surplus is used to meet any deficit incurred in the publication of the •Olio Pod.' " SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES. "One of the most effective ways of keeping a school unified, in spite of its large numbers is the school Assembly. Every Tuesday morning the entire school gathers in the auditorium for a twenty minute period of singing. Faculty and pupils, under the direction of the music teacher and accompanied by the High School orchestra, join in singing familiar songs, among which are two original songs by High School pupils. The purpose of this as- .sembly singing is not so much musical instruction as social fellow- ship and good feeling. "The Friday assembly is a means of keeping pupils and teachers acquainted with the varied interests and pursuits of one another. "A fifteen minute program is presented by some department or organization of the school, and for this brief but significant period of time the school thinks and feels as one organic whole and that intangible thing we call school spirit finds expression. "At first it was somewhat difficult to find pupils willing to take part in these programs and to face so large an audience, but today various groups of pupils such as the Forum, the Camera Club and the staff of the school paper are asking to be scheduled for certain Fridays, that they may present matters of importance to the other pupils. "These semi-weekly assemblies have become a strong power for knitting together the different parts of a large school in bonds of mutual interest and respect. "Ba.shful, retiring pupils have been brought to the front — a desire to share experiences and joys with one another has been HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 37 cultivated — breadth of sympathy has been established — and loyalty has been created." THE DRAMATIC CLUB. "The Dramatic Club is the outcome of young people's natural fondness for taking part in plays and the teachers' wish to encour- age for educational and social reasons, an instinct so natural and beautiful and so conducive to a rich artistic life in school. Mem- bership in this club is open to the whole school, and there are no dues. All the expenses of staging a play are easily met, with a small balance over by the proceeds from the twenty-five cent admission price to the performance. "The object of the club is to present a Shakespeare play every spring in a sincere and lovely manner that shall give pleasure of a fine type to the participants and to the audience. This play represents the work and interests of many departments of the school, and is, therefore, an evidence of the spirit of co-operation. "The Art Department designs the costumes and the Household Arts Department makes them; the Mechanical Arts Department assists in building the stage properties; the Commercial Depart- ment manages the financial end; the Science Department assists in any electric lighting effects; the Physical Education Department has charge of the dancing; the Music Department furnishes the orchestra and tx-ains for any music necessary upon the stage; the English Department does the coaching and has general super- vision of the staging of the play; and the Class in Journalism and the school paper see that the play is properly advertised, in the local papers. "The uniting of so many groups of teachers and pupils in the production of a beautiful and noble drama, does much for the uplifting of school life." THE METHOD OF HANDLING SCHOOL MONEY. "Every school activity has a teacher in charge, who is respon- sible for its proper administration. In the handling of school money, the auditor, who is a member of the faculty has a corps of students in advanced bookkeeping, who do the actual entering and handling of money under his supervision. All the work that can be done by the student cashiers, tellers, bookkeepers, and 286735 18 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS clerks is put in their charge and they are responsible for the correctness of what they do. "This method of supervision is not an end in itself. The result soupht is democracy in school life and the training of those who participate by those whose experience and skill fit them to handle the activity. The strict supervision of all student dues, payments, and accounting has this equality and training for its object. Colloctions are handled so that all contribute, not merely the few. The sum that each student has to pay in the course of the year is easily within the reach of all. "There are no admission fees to games and no assessments. Class dues are allowed in the Senior Class only. "In addition to acting as cashier and bookkeeper for the school the auditor is charged with enforcing the rules governing the finances. He is not only a bookkeeper, but an administrative offi- cer as well, who is responsible for the financial system of the school. All school moneys from whatever source must pass through the auditor's hands." Several pages in the pamphlet mentioned are devoted to the details involved but the above extract is sufficient to make the general plan plain. During the present year up to the present date, December 5, 1917, nearly $3,000 have been raised in connection with the war calls. ATHLETICS. Athletics are a part of the Department of Physical Education. The Physical Director is head "coach" of all branches of athletics, i. e., he picks the men who shall do the coaching and outlines the policy to be followed. The captains of the teams are the real roaches. The managing of all teams is in the hands of the Physical Director. He fixes the times for all games, appoints the officials and selects all athletic material to be bought for the school. This system of athletic control brings out many improvements. In the first place, more boys have an opportunity to take part in athletics; secondly, a more gentlemanly set of boys are likely to represent the school, and there appears in the school a much finer spirit and a unity of purpose that was lacking, under the old system. The five high schools of Oakland, Alameda, and Berkeley have HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 39 a league for the purpose of regulating inter-school activities — especially athletics. The control of this league has been put into the hands of the five physical directors of the schools. This league takes the place of the old A. A. L., mention of which has already been made. The definite management outlined here takes the place of the very crude management of the old league. This committee not only arranges for inter-school games but it also selects officials, chooses the field, fixes the time, etc. In fine, it has the entire control of the whole course in athletics, of course, under the immediate supervision of the Physical Director. MUSIC. I have written about music in the schools at an early date. What follows as a quotation from the pamphlet already men- tioned gives the condition of this important branch in the High School of today. One of the first advanced steps that followed the change in the management was the securing of a place among the matriculation units at the University. This action, which was brought about by the combined efforts of the Principal of the school and the Supervisor of Music, gave a great incentive to the music work in the school and prepared the way for great things in this department. "The music department teaches all branches of music to its regular pupils and also has charge of all music connected with the student activities. This controls the type of music for all occasions and sets a proper standard for popular music. By this method the best results are obtained without friction. In fact, a low type of music is no longer a question for discussion either by the student body or by those who furnish the music. "The high school band, composed of twenty-five members, furnishes music for student rallies and games, and occasionally plays concerts in the auditorium and in the courtyard. The band music consists chiefly of good marches and school songs, although standard selections and overtures are worked up for concerts. The result of placing the music teacher of the school at the head of the band and orchestra has been to raise the standard of music played by both organizations. The music department believes in the best music for students, suited, of course, to the musical com- prehension of the high school student age. 40 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS "In the choral work, special attention is paid to tone quality. No harsh, forced singing is permitted, and careful attention to ihe details of phrasing, expression, and enunciation has resulted in chorus singing of considerable polish in these classes. "All students in ensemble singing or playing are trained to watch and obev the director's baton and free hand. This training shows to excellent advantage in the orchestra where each instru- ment must fit exactly into its own place in the music. No careless playing is permitted among the violins where the tendency toward carelessness is usually strongest, and the bowing is carefully watched by the director. Each student-player is held to his high- est efficiency in execution by the director who insists on true in- tonation, and works for correct and artistic interpretation. This has produced an orchestra said by conservative critics to be ex- celled by no other of its kind in the country. The high school orchestra furnishes music for all of the school exercises and entertainments. "By having all of the musical organizations which exert an influence upon the pupils act in harmony and quietly uphold the best standards, the taste of the whole school has been elevated and the demand for the lower types of music, which is so strong in high schools generally, has practically ceased." Mrs. Sweesy, in her last report of the music department used the following: "I am sorry that we have not an accredited music section in our High School. I hope in the near future that our school board will find a place for it, for while we may forget nine-tenths of all our grammar and geography, and while physics and Latin may ucarcely be mentioned, \\'e will always have an ever-increasing use for our knowledge and appreciation of music." What the Super- visor and Superintendent would have had, the new Supervisor and the Principal have secured for the school and the pupils as an incentive to the study of the noblest of Arts. A report of music in connection with the public schools would not be complete without a mention of the "Children's Concerts." R<-ali7.ing the great educational, as well as cultural value, of good music in any community, the Berkeley Board of Education in the year 1911 authorized a series of Young People's Concerts. This action resulted from the very successful work of the Berke- liv Mii«iral Association in furnishing for several years the oppor- HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 41 tunity for the adult members of the community to listen to the finest vocal and instrumental artists at a reasonable price. In order to extend this work so that the children might receive the benefit and pleasure to be derived from an organized effort m this direction, these concerts were announced. For seven years, Mr. Edwin Chamberlain, a concert singer and vocal teacher of note in the community, has successfully managed these concerts without remuneration. His efforts have been heartily seconded by the Supervisor of Music and the entire corps of principals and teachers. These concerts are supported entirely by subscription. During the first year, four concerts were given for fifty cents, making it possible for the young people to hear first class artists for fifteen cents. Each year finds the children more enthusiastic than they were the year before. In this, the seventh year the number of sub- scriptions has so increased that it has been possible to offer a series of five concerts for fifty cents. Subscriptions are sold to children only. A few adults are admitted for fifty cents a concert. Mr. David Bispham, America's best loved baritone, opened the first series. Since then other artists have been heard in solo or ensemble work of voice, strings and reeds. Even full orchestras have been heard and twice have the children heard the dainty sweet music of the Harpsichord. As the music of the community is raised to a higher standard so will the mental and moral life of the children in the com- munity be raised. Berkeley has been the pioneer in this move- ment. Since the plan has been so successful here, other cities are trying the same. Not only have these concei'ts been a source of great benefit and enjoyment to the children, but each visiting artist has been amazed and has thoroughly enjoyed the rapt attention and keen appreciation of his efforts. THE ALLSTON WAY SCHOOL. This building was erected in 1898 by Phil Sheridan for a little more than $1,800. Mr. Sheridan was not really the lowest bidder but he was the only one who had enclosed a check for 10 per cent of the amount of his bid, according to law. All other bids were rejected on this account. This building was built to relieve the pressure in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades in the central part of the 42 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS city. Departmental work was introduced and Latin under the instruction of Mrs. Hubbard was made an optional study for the 8th trrade. In 1899, this was made a special school for all of the 9th grades in the eastern part of the city. Mr. Arthur Elston was the Principal and teacher of Mathematics; Miss Helen Gompertz, (now Mrs. LeConte), succeeded Mrs. Hubbard as teacher of Latin; Miss Rosemary Dobbins was the teacher of History and Miss Helena Curtis was the teacher of Eng:lish. When the 9th grade classes were transferred to the new high school building on Grove Street, this building was used for other grades. A short time before the transfer was made Mr. Elston resigned and Mr. Roy J. Young took his place as principal and teacher for half a day. In .\ugust. 1901, after the transfer, Miss May Sampson, now Dr. Sampson, and Miss Margaret Webb came from the Whittier School with the seventh and eighth grades, and Miss Webb was made principal. Later, Miss Amelia Newmark came to the school with a sixth grade. In August, 1902, Miss Susie Johnson, now a member of the Board of Charities in New York City, took Miss Sampson's place, and Miss Rachel Lothrop was added to the faculty. For a time two rooms in the Commercial school building were used. Miss Farwell, now of the Willard school, Miss Nettie Meek, Miss Zinie Kidder and Miss Edna Robinson taught here. The Allston Way building was sometimes called "Fort Sumpter." After remaining closed for a time the building was leased to Durgin and Gompertz and used by them for undertaking parlors. In 1912 the interior was remodeled and fitted up for a general administration building. Here are located the Superintendent's office, the Board of Education rooms, the Dental Clinic, etc. So this little building has been of great service to both living and dead during the twenty years of its existence. What is now the Commercial department of the High School was organized as a commercial school in Shattuck Hall in 1899, with A. W. Atherton as principal. Later, the school was moved to Golden Sheaf Hall and when the High School vacated the Kel- lojrg building and took up its abode in the new building on Grove Street the Commercial School at once made use of the old building. At first the success of the school was varied owing to the eccen- HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 43 tricities of the principal in his mode of management, but in 1892. Atherton resig-ned and Mr. and Mrs. Longenecker took charge, and from that time success was assured. In 1906, after the earth- quake, in order to make room for the High School classes which were thrown out of the use of their own building for the year, the Commercial classes were transferred to Wilken's Hall, which had been rented by the Board. As this proved to be wholly inade- quate, in August the school was moved again, this time to Stiles' Hall. As the audience room in the second story was used for religious services on Sunday, an entire change in the arrangement of the seats had to be made on Friday night and again early on Monday morning. This arrangement was anything but satisfac- tory, but in January everything was changed for the better by the return of the Commercial classes to the old Kellogg building. In 1909 it became in reality a department of the High School and was transferred to the new building on Allston Way. It has be- come one of the most efficient and popular departments. "The Commercial Department aims to train for certain busi- ness pursuits. The courses offered are planned to give thorough training to stenographers and office employees. Students who ex- pect to follow other business vocations can profitably take most of the courses; for the fundamentals of business are alike in all fields, and these fundamentals are the basis of department courses. Clear, forcible English, legible penmanship, accurate computations, good type-writing, sound business judgment, and a knowledge of business procedure and practice are necessities in all fields of busi- ness. Students intending to enter the University will usually find some of the commercial courses of more than ordinary value. Type-writing and stenography with a thorough knowledge of Eng- lish may be made the means of earning one's way through college. "The courses as arranged in this department are intensely thorough and practical. All of the most approved methods are em- ployed, with the result that our Commercial Department is as good as the best. "The system of banking and of keeping the accounts of the re- ceipts and disbursements of all school moneys is simple but accurate. Every branch of instruction in this as well as of all of the departments of the school, is in the immediate charge of experts in every particular line of work and the results have given the community a school second to none in the state." 44 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS CHAPTER V THE SUPERINTENDENTS In 1884, Prof. W. Gary Jones served for nearly one month. In 1897, Mr. F. E. Perham came from Santa Ana in response to a unanimous call from the Board, as they now realized that the welfare of the department demanded the entire time of an expert in superintending the work, one who could give his entire time to supervision. Up to this time, the principal of the High School had indirect charge of all the other schools, and the questions pertaining to supplies, repairs and all other matters of general value to the schools were passed up to him. Mr. Perham brought many excellent things to the department. The course of study was enlarged and modernized, especial attention being given to Reading and Literature. The general English course as out- lined by Mr. Perham has been the basis of the English course in the grades ever since. In 1899, he became Principal of the Stockton High School and Mr. S. D. Waterman was elected to fill the vacancy. Mr. Waterman served from 1899 until 1908, a term of 9 years. During his term the modern High School was developed and the work begun by the former superintendent was continued. Modern language courses. Music, Art, Domestic Science, Domestic Arts and Manual Training found a welcome. It required incessant labor and persistent effort to secure the adoption of these branches that had now become essentials, but one by one they came, and furnished an excellent foundation for the present course. The active co-operation of principals and teachers and the hearty sup- port of the Board of Education during these years made the suc- ce.i8 of the schools a reality rather than a possibility. As the adoption of these branches was extended to the lower grades a more complete account of the adoption of each will be found under the proper heads. After the earthquake of April 18th, 1906. the work of the superintendent was doubled. It had been for a long time the HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 45 custom of the Board to refer many things that the regular com- mittees ought to have attended to, to the superintendent "with power to act." Looking after defective sewers, broken stove pipes, furnaces that gave insufficient heat, and crippled furniture and other work of this sort, instead of being a Superintendent pure and simple, in addition to the legitimate work of the Executive officer of the Board, rendered the position anything but easy. Then, at this time the influx from San Francisco and the crippled condition of our own department caused additional labor. So the Superintendent in addition to the regular duties of supervising the educational affairs of the schools became a sort of "Roust About" for the Board. It was often difficult to find the proper person to do work that had to be done "at once" and it was often easier and more expeditious to do the work one's self, than to spend the time trying to find someone to do it. To illustrate : One Saturday before the opening of the school on Monday following the Christmas vacation, the Superintendent spent the morning in taking up the desks in one of the rooms in the Seventh Street School building. In the afternoon of the same day, with the assistance of the janitor these desks were fastened down in their proper places in the Franklin School ready for use on the following Monday. This work was not, and should not have been, a part of the Superintendent's billet, but it came as a result of referring "with power to act." Mr. Waterman resigned one year before the expiration of his term, to take the principalship of the Whittier School. Presi- dent Lewis of the School Board in his annual report in June, 1908, referring to this action, used the following language: "After 18 years of faithful service, Mr. Waterman in accord- ance with his own wishes retires from the Superintendency to be- come the Principal of the Whittier School, where the work is less exacting and where, above all else, he can come into closer con- tact with the children." Mr. F. F. Bunker, assistant Superintendent of the Los Angeles City Schools, was elected to succeed him. At once Mr. Bunker was given all the additional help required in the office so that he was enabled to devote his entire time to the real work of a super- intendent. His training, energy, and success in the North and 46 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS elsewhere gave every assurance of success here. The superinten- dent's office was moved from 2171 Shattuck Avenue, to more commodious rooms in the new High School building on Allston Way. At the request of Mr. Bunker, the Board appointed Miss .Alma Patterson, supervisor of the Elementary schools, in 1910. She ser^•ed for only two years, having accepted a call to a larger field of work. Dr. E. B. Hoag was appointed Director of Physical Culture and Hygiene, and served from 1909 until 1912. Wilford W. Nichols was appointed Secretary of the Board in July, 1909. He resigned to go into business in February, 1910. In 1910, upon the recommendation of Mr. Bunker, Mr. M. C. James was appointed Secretary of the Board of Education and Deputy Superintendent. Mr. James held this office until he was elected Superintendent in 1912. Mr. Brink succeeded Mr. James as Principal of the High School. Early in 1912, a majority of the Board consisting of Mrs. Carlisle, Mr. H. I. Stern and Mr. J. A. Wilson, notified Mr. Bunker formally that he would not be re-elected. In a communication addressed to the Board, Mr. Bunker refused to withdraw from the candidacy. He appealed to the people in an attempt to recall these members and was defeated. Mr. James became Superinten- dent in 1912, and was re-elected in 1916. His administration is fair and conservative, and the general management has never been more successful and satisfactory than it has been since 1912. Even during the period of rapid grow^th and the chronic shortage of funds every demand upon the ability and judgment of the Superintendent has been most satisfactorily met. HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 47 CHAPTER VI THE BERKELEY SCHOOL BOARD Prof. Martin Kellogg, Martin Dale, William H. Johnson, Henry Bruns, and Prof. W. B. Rising, composed the first School Board, organized in 1878. Since that time until the year 1895, the following named gentlemen, in addition to those above named served on the Board at different times: H. A. Palmer George A. Norton W. Bunce Chris Johnson J. W. Byxbee W. B. Stevens Geo. W. Dornin C. H. Burr Chauncey Gaines B. F. Bergen J. J. Braman J. B. Henley H. C. Kastens R. W. Andrews H. McGaskill Dr. J. S. Eastman C. W. Wright Dr. Frank B.

Niehaus Geo. Jebens George Swain Philip Teare By the adoption of the charter in 1895, a change was made in the School Board, the number being increased from 6 to 7, one from each ward. From 1895 to 1909 the wards were represented as follows: First Ward. George M. Robertson 1895-1899 W. K. Weir 1899-1907 Dr. Farrar 1907-1909 48 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS Second Ward. Prof. E. J. Wickson 1895-1905 Prof. E. P. Lewis 1905-1909 Third Ward. P. R. Boone 1895-1899 J. R. Little 1899-1903 W. A. L. Knowles 1903-1906 R. T. Crawford 1906-1909 Fourth Ward. Georpe Swain 1895-1896 H. L.

Donohue 1907-1909 Under the present charter which went into effect in 1909, the Board has consisted of five members, four elected at large, and the Commissioner of Finance who is an ex-officio member of the School Board. The first Board under this charter consisted of the following members: Prof. Morgan, R. A. Berry, ex-officio, R. J. Young. E. L. Loring, and Mrs. Elinor Carlisle. The next election made some changes in the personnel of the Board. The new Board consisted of H. I. Stern, President, Prof. Morgan, R. J. Young, Mrs. Carlisle and Mr. J. A. Wilson, ex-officio. This Board failed to re-elect Mr. Bunker. After the recall failed to carry, directors Morgan and Young resigned from the Board. Mr. Herbert Briggs was appointed in place of Morgan, and Mr. Frank He>'ward was appointed in the place of Young. The Board then HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 49 consisted of Mi-s. Carlisle, Messrs Stern, Heyward, Brij^gs, and Wilson ex-officio. Mrs. Carlisle resigned in February, 1913, and Mrs. Elizabeth Witter was appointed to fill the unexpired term ending in April. At the April election, Mrs. Moody was elected to fill Mrs. Witter's place. Directors Briggs and Heyward retired from the Board and their places were filled by Mrs. Elvina Beals and Dr. Roy I. Woolsey. In 1915, Mr. Walter A. Gompertz became ex-officio a member of the Board, and Mrs. Carrie H. Gibbs and Prof. W. B. Herms succeeded Mrs. Moody and Mr. Stern. In December, 1916, the Board consisted of the following: Prof. W. R. Herms, President W. A. Gompertz, ex-officio Dr. Roy I. Woolsey Mrs. Elvina Beals Mrs. Carrie H. Gibbs Since July 1st, 1917, the following has been the status of the Board: Prof. W. B. Herms, President W. A. Gompertz, ex-officio Dr. Roy I. Woolsey Mrs. Ida M. Blochman Mrs. Carrie H. Gibbs Mr. George P. Baxter was elected Commissioner of Finance and thus he becomes ex-officio a member of the School Board in place of Mr. Gompertz, who resigned in November, 1917. Prof. Herms entered the military service of the LTnited States, and Dr. Roy I. Woolsey was elected President of the Board. The vacancy in the Board was filled by the appointment of Prof. W. W. Kemp. 50 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS CHAPTER VII BONDS AND SPECIAL TAX In 1889, and again in 1890, the question of bonding the town for school purposes was agitated, but nothing definite was done until 1891, when bonds to the amount of $50,000 were issued and sold. The following lots were purchased: Corner of Virginia and Milvia Streets. Corner of Ninth and Page Streets. Corner of Eighth Street and Allston Way. Corner of Ellsworth and Russell Streets. University Avenue, below Sacramento. Dwight Way, near Dana. The contract for the erection of three six-room buildings, the Whittier, the Columbus and the Le Conte, was let on the 23rd of June and these buildings were completed and occupied in the fall of 1892. In April, 1896, a proposition for bonding for the sum of $60,- 000 was lost by the following vote: For 637 Against 422 Irregular 7 Total 1066 Necessary to carry 711 On March 26th, 1898, a special bond election for $60,000 was lost by the following vote: For 581 Against 528 Irregular 28 Total 1137 Necessary to carry 759 On March 6th, 1900, Director Little reported that the Board HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 51 of Town Trustees had been asked to call an election for $100,00: $70,000 for the High School and $30,000 for the Elementary schools. This election was held on May 8th, 1900. The Primary and Grammar School proposition carried and the High School proposition was defeated. (This was a Municipal and not a School Board proposition.) On January 2Gth, 1906, bonds for $320,000 were carried by the following vote: $200,000 — High School For, 576; Against, 267. 100,000 — Elementary For, 666; Against, 176. 20,000 — Repairs to High School.. ..For, 713; Against, 132. The success of this election was assured by the active assist- ance of the Chamber of Commerce and the "Committee of 40." The $160,000 for the elementary school bonds included Manual Training and Domestic Science. (This is important to remember.) On February 25th, 1905, bonds to the amount of $150,000 were carried by the following vote: For 881 Against 198 Early in 1907 a proposition for $200,000 for elementary schools and $50,000 to finish the High School Auditorium failed to carry by the following vote: For 645 Against 353 Immediately afterwards another election for a like amount was carried as follows: $200,000 for Elementary Schools For, 2083 ; Against, 845. 50,000 for repairs to High School For, 2068; Against, 851. On May 6th, 1911, a bond election for $400,000 as follows was defeated: Grammar Schools $320,000— For, 1047; Against, 1307 High School 50,000 — For, 1175; Against, 1284 Kindergartens 30,000 — For, 900; Against, 1567 On the 14th of February, 1914, a bond election for $1,320,000 was lost. The vote was as follows: $1,080,000 — Elementary For, 4319; Against, 2692 240,000— High School For, 4235; Against, 2700 On January 15th, 1915, Municipal bonds for $500,000 were carried, and lots were purchased as follows: 52 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS Claremont for John Muir School Orejron Street for the Edison School University Avenue for the Burbank School Rose Street for the Garfield School Telegraph Avenue for the Willard School The vote was as follows For, 6235; Against, 2465. Receipts. Sale of bonds $500,000.00 Premium 12,857.00 Sale of old buildings 4,100.50 From city general fund 22,527.25 Total $539,485.45 Disbursements.

In addition to this, the plans for the Garfield School call for six rooms in the second story, but shortage of funds compelled the Board either to delay the completion of this building, or to run short of funds for equipping the buildings already completed. It was determined to use the money for equipment, and thus the mo.st rapidly growing part of Berkeley, must be handicapped for neces.sary school accommodations until some time in the dim future when the finances of the Board are in condition to warrant the necessary expenditure.

Immediately after the bond election of April, 1896, which failed to carry, the Board called for an election for a special tax for $22,500. The election was held May 16th, 1896, and was carried by the following vote: For, 560; Against, 208. On May 16th, 1903, a special tax election for $25,000 was carried by the following vote: For, 409; Against, 61. This money was for building additional rooms at the Whittier, Le Conte, and McKinley Schools, and the purchase of a lot east of College Avenue and south of Dwight Way. A lot on Russ Street was purchased, and afterwards exchanged for the present site of the Emerson School, corner of Forrest and Piedmont Avenues. 54 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS CHAPTER VIII MUSIC As early as 1880, Mr. Starr proposed to teach singing in all the schools for $30 a month. For a number of years the individual teachers did what they could, but finally it became evident to all that more definite outline work must be arranged in order to secure anything like the best results. The Superintendent and those members of the Board who favored supervision in Music, and Drawing as well, worked patiently for years to bring about the election of Supervisors. Miss Gearhart had been elected to the Department of Drawing the year before. The election of a Supervisor of Music came about very unexpectedly as the proposi- tion had already been passed upon by the Board and had been voted down. The Superintendent was sitting in his office one morning when a lady walked briskly in, and it was evident from her manner that business was at hand. Conversation something as follows took place: LADY: "Is this Mr. Waterman, the Superintendent of Schools?" MR. W. : "The same. I am pleased to meet you. Please be seated." LADY: "I am Mrs. Sweesy, of Pasadena. I have been at- tending summer school in Chicago. Miss Gearhart, your Super- visor of Drawing has been with me and she urged me to visit Berkeley on my way home and apply for the position as Super- visor of Music in Berkeley. "We have worked together in Pasadena for years, and I am Hure that the city will get more than value received if we can work together in this beautiful city, each in her own chosen field." MR. W.: "Well, Mrs. Sweesy, I am very sorry, but I am quite sure that there is not the ghost of a chance now. The Board have just voted the proposition down and I feel that their action is final, at least for the present year." HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS 55 MRS. S. : "I should like very much to meet some of the mem- bers of your Board. Perhaps, if there is no opportunity for the present year, there may be later." MR. W. : "I shall be pleased to introduce you to the mem- bers that we can find, but they are all busy men and the Board meets tonight, and this is the time to 'make hay.' I will do all in my power to secure a reversal of their vote." Mrs. Sweesy had remarkable success in Pasadena and pre- sented most telling credentials, and more important than all else she has a very convincing personality. After the formality of an introduction, and a brief statement of the case, Mr. Little, who was the President of the Board asked, "Well, Mrs. Sweesy, what will this hilarity cost us?" Her reply, that she always expected her employers to name the compensation, secured his support and following his advice she met as many of the Board as possible, and that night was elected unanimously. Director Sutherland, a musician himself, and always a firm supporter of the idea of good supervision, in an earnest appeal urged the Board not to allow an opportunity of securing what the department had needed for so long a time to pass by without favorable action. For five years Mrs. Sweesy's work was of the most efficient type. She established the department upon a firm basis, and when she retired all who were familiar with the situation felt that the schools had lost a valuable helper. Some of the members of the Board who were really in favor of retrenchment, felt that this was their opportunity. They tried to have the work carried on by the Grade teachers independently, but finally they were in- duced to re-establish the Department of Vocal Music, and Miss Victorine Hartley was chosen to fill the vacancy, in 1906. The following extract is taken from the report of the Super- intendent for the year ending June 30th, 1906: "The work in Music under the supervision of Mrs. Sweesy has been all that could reasonably be expected. When we sum up the results of her labors with the children of Berkeley, the success of her efforts is apparent. We have choruses and two or three part songs rendered by the school children in a manner that cannot be excelled in the State. It is with great regi-et that we have received her resignation from the position she has filled so acceptably for years. "I respectfully urge upon the Board the necessity of providing 56 HISTORY OF THE BERKELEY SCHOOLS a supen'isor for this department as soon as the proper person can be found. We cannot afford, as a department which claims to be at all pro^-essive, to neglect this. If the members of the Board individually knew exactly what music is doing, and has already done for the schools, there would be no dissenting voice. The teachers of the department understand fully the value of singinjr in the school, as a civilizer, a character-builder, and a disciplinary agent, and they are a unit for supervision. It trains the eye arid ear, strengthens and modifies the voice, thus aiding materially in making good readers and speakers, and is a neces- sary factor in developing the best that is in the boy or girl. Be- sides this, it is general in its practice. There is hardly a pupil in any of our classes who does not hail with delight the exercise in singing. "Music and Drawing are among the branches that must be taught. The State law fixes this beyond question. How to pro- vide the most effective instruction in these branches is what we are called upon to determine. I am convinced that careful super- vision by experts is the only means by which the best result can be secured, and I hope that very soon the Board may be able to provide adequate supervision in each of these departments." During the year 1904, under Mrs. Sweesy's management, a con- cert was given by nearly 1000 children, in the Greek Theater, the use of which was kindly given by Pres. Wheeler. By this con- cert, over $700 were secured for the children's room of the new Carnegie Library. The children presented a fine clock to the juvenile room in commemoration of this concert. Mi.'
