Japanese, people, quarters, 1935,

  • "The Japanese quarter lies about four blocks south of Chinatown.
  • It clusters arount East First Street.
  • It was at one time the ghetto; but the Jews could not compete with the Japanese.
  • As their leases expired , the Japanese out-bid them and the Jews moved out.
  • It is now a little Japan . . . silk shops, kimono stores, Japanese hotels, drug stores . . . worshipping their own gods . . . eating their own food . . . speaking their own language.
  • Neon lights throw scrawling Japanese ideograph words out against the mystery of the night.
  • Into the clatter and scurry of the Japanese street comes strident, harsh music of Japanese phonographs.
  • They have a Japanese theater, frequent flower shows and festival days in honor of royal birthdays. It is a city of mystery and charm.
  • "There are approximately twenty-five thousand Japanese living in Los Angeles; they have driven all competition out of the cut-flower business and vegetable business.

Jeffers and Erick, 1952, 1933

  • Consulting Engineers returned their report on May 29, 1933, describing the weaknesses of the Santa Monica school buildings in detail. The following items were included in their report:

"Many of these details of faulty construction could be corrected and the buildings thereby made safe for occupancy in case of mild quake. Such reconstruction would not, however, be sufficient to make the buildings safe for occupancy, in case of another earthquake of the degree of intensity of the Long Beach and Santa Barbara quakes. Such construction would make your buildings somewhat better than the average school building.

"We therefore recommend that, with the exception of the oldest buildings which do not warrant the costs of reinforcing, all buildings be properly reinforced to withstand some definite horizontal force, thereby minimizing the damage by earthquake, of which this type of building has proven susceptible.

"This reinforcing is not difficult of achievement nor is it particularly expensive for the average school building. Only by such reinforcing of the building can assurance be had that every reasonable precaution has been taken to safeguard the lives of the children who are compelled to occupy the buildings." [10. Board Minutes, May 29, 1933.], 1952, 1933

Early in October of 1933, while the citizen's committee was still studying plans with the engineers, another earthquake but of relatively minor intensity, disturbed the public mind. The committee, perhaps somewhat influenced by the latest tremblor as well as what they had witnessed and the reports they had perused, advised the Board of Education to call a bond election for the purpose of providing funds for strengthening and reconstruction of school buildings, to the amount of $200,000. The bond election, held October 24, 1933, failed to receive the necessary two-thirds vote, thus leaving the Board without funds to carry out the recommendations made.

Jewish populations, quarter, origins, 1935, 1908

  • The Japanese quarter lies about four blocks south of Chinatown. It clusters arount East First Street. It was at one time the ghetto; but the Jews could not compete with the Japanese. As their leases expired , the Japanese out-bid them and the Jews moved out.
  • "[p.245] It is a belief common among Jewish people that California is the Promised Land which they were promised. Since the rise of Hitler they have poured into Southern California, settling in two different ghettos in Los Angeles. One is on Temple Street just west of Figueroa; the other out on Brooklyn Avenue . . . In 1908 there were just two Jewish families in this district; they now number 60,000 . . . ten synagogues, nine attractive hotels, two theaters, lodge rooms, apartment houses built in Spanish style, bungalow courts . . . kosher restaurants, an Old People's Home as fine as an expensive hotel . . . a kosher slaughter-house where chicken and cattle are butchered by rabbis according to the laws of Abraham. They came in about equal proportion from Rumania, Poland, Russia and the New York East Side. The clean, wide [p. 246 ]streets, the lawns and flowers-most of all the splendor of the mountain panorama, makes considerable contrast to the push-carts, tenements and dirty streets from which they came . .

John Percival Jones (January 27, 1829-November 12, 1912) was an American politician who served for 30 years as a Republican United States Senator from ...

, 

1943

, 1920-1850

A Welshman, born on the English border, Jones arrived in California in 1850, 1943, 1873, 1850, 1920-1850

Mined in several camps until 1852 when Jones settled in Weaverville, Trinity County, CA 1943, 1873, 1852, 1920-1850

There Jones followed public life, serving successively as Justice of the Peace, Deputy Sheriff, Sheriff, and State Senator. [Footnote: Gold Hill News, August 29, 1873-facts evidently supplied by Jones.], 1943, 1873, 1867-1852, 1920-1850

In 1867 the constitution of the newly formed Comstock Miners' Union provided that all men working underground should receive $4 for an eight-hour shift. That rule was not enforced, it appears, . . . 1943, 1867

Republican J.P. Jones ran for the office of Lieutenant Governor of California, and lost to the Democratic candidate, 1943, 1867

November 1867, at the behest of his friend Alvinza Hayward, Jones went to the Comstock to become superintendent of the Kentuck Mine, which Sharon, Hayward, and associates had just acquired, 1943, 1867

[In the 1860s everyone played the stock market, and it might be supposed that Jones too was "learning the ropes."]

Jones, a genial man and a born politician, had a meteoric rise in Nevada, 1943, 1867

Jones was Mine Superintendent of The Kentuck, (1867-1868) and the Crown Point Mine from 1868 to 1873, one of Sharon's compliant supervisors of the Comstock Mines, 1943, 1873, 1872, 1871, 1870, 1869, 1868

Three adjoining mines (the Crown Point, the Kentuck, and the Yellow Jacket) were working on the same east ore bodies from the 600- to the 900-foot level and their extensive stopes were a maze of large resinous pine timbers. 1943, 1869, 1860s,

April 7th the 1969 Yellow Jacket Mine Fire in which 37 miners died, 1943, 1869

The fire, of unknown origin, started on the 800-foot level of the Yellow Jacket and had been burning for several hours without knowledge owing to heavy doors in the drifts . . . 1943, 1869, 1860s, 1920-1850

When the men on the morning shift were lowered down the shafts a mass of charred timbers in the stopes broke under the weight of the roof, sending a blast of deadly gas and smoke through the workings of the three mines, 1943, 1869, 1860s, 1920-1850

A few were hoisted back, many were suffocated, and others burned . . . three days . . . heroic efforts were made to reach the remaining men. When it became clear that all below were dead and that not even their bodies could be recovered at that time, the shafts were sealed . . . 1943, 1869, 1860s, 1920-1850

When the Yellow Jacket Mine burned, the Crown Point had to be closed as well. Jones made a final attempt to bring in ventilation for the trapped miners two days after the fire began and then he sealed off the Crown Point and its connections to the Yellow Jacket, 1943, 1869      

[p. 123] "The last descent into the Crown Point prior to the second sealing of the shaft was made on April 12 (the fire occurred on the 7th) by Superintendent Jones and a young man who tried to connect a pipe with the blower tube. Foul air drove them out after fifteen minutes without making the connection, 1943, 1869, 1860s, 1920-1850

After the shafts were sealed large volumes of steam were forced into the workings to check the fire, 1943, 1869, 1860s, 1920-1850

Those mines, which had been among the most productive on the Lode, were practically ruined. The caved stopes smouldered for months and yielded but little good ore afterward, 1943, 1869, 1860s, 1920-1850

Instead of paying dividends all three mines began to levy assessments, 1943, 1869, 1860s, 1920-1850

 The Crown Point was being mined for low-grade ores when the bonanza was discovered, 1943, 1871

Jones "Conspired with" Alvinza Hayward to take control of the Crown Point Mine away from Hayward, Mills and Sharon, 1943, 1871

Sharon's [His] supremacy was first challenged in 1871, when Hayward and Jones covertly secured control of the Crown Point soon after the bonanza was discovered, 1943, 1871

[p.129] "The ore had been found only 200 feet north of the Belcher line, and, as it lay on the footwall of the Lode, there was every probability that it would extend into the Belcher. That stock also began to rise. 1943, 1871

Crown Point stock rose quietly from $3 a share on November 19 to $16 on December 10. The market price of Belcher, meantimes, had increased to $7.50 a share. Development work proceeded slowly for a time and the reports were not very encouraging, due no doubt to the plans of Hayward and Jones who were aiming to secure control, 1943, 1871

"Jones' sick baby" was given as one of the excuses, which later became a byword on "The Street" in San Francisco. Jones, who was without means, induced some San Francisco speculators to buy stock for him "upon his agreement to bear all the losses in consideration of one half of the possible profits." Later, he advised these men to sell, "although assuring them of his firm belief in the mine . . . They regarded his story as a lame pretense," and began to sell short, which later cost them dear, 1943, 1871

Almost overnight, J.P. Jones became a millionaire, 1943, 1871

The Crown Point-Belcher bonanza brought millions to John P. Jones, 1943, 1870s

"Sharon was bitter when he learned that Jones and Hayward had the control of the Crown Point, but made the best of the situation: "He proposed to sell to Hayward and his friends all the shares of himself and friends in the Crown Point mine, at the market price, on condition that Hayward and his friends would sell to them all of their interests in the Belcher." The offer was accepted and the transaction closed. Lord states on the authority of Sharon that Sharon sold his 4,100 shares of Crown Point to Hayward on June 7, 1871, for $1,400,000, which would be at the rate of $341 a share. This was by far the largest single transaction in Comstock stocks up to that time, 1943, 1871

[p. 130] "The boundary line between the two mines [the Crown Point and the Belcher] passed downward through the middle of the bonanza, dividing it into two nearly equal parts. The Belcher's portion proved richer and more productive so that the trade eventually favored Sharon and his associates, Ralston and Mills [over Hayward and Jones.] In addition to the lion's share of the dividends, each group made private milling profits running into the millions, 1943, 1870s

Hayward and Jones had taken control of the Savage from Sharon at the annual meeting in July 1871, in order to get its ore for their mills and to display their newly acquired power. "It was then that Hayward launched his spectacular boom in Savage Mine stocks, partly for the purpose of furthering the senatorial aspirations of his partner Jones, 1943, 1871

Jones and Sharon campaigned for the opportuntiy to run against former Governor James W. Nye for the junior Senator from Nevada seat, 1943, 1871

[p. 135] "Newly created Comstock millionaires, with the notable exception of Mackay, almost invariably aspired to a seat in the U.S. Senate, and the campaign of Jones in 1872, against former Governor James W. Nye, U.S. Senator from Nevada, 1980, 1966, 1943. 1864

Sutro was also a candidate, as he was in every senatorial election thereafter up to and including 1880, 1943, 1872

John P. Jones, less than two years earlier, had been one of his [Sharon's] compliant superintendents, 1943, 1873, 1871

 "It was then that Hayward launched his spectacular boom in Savage, partly for the purpose of furthering the senatorial aspirations of his partner Jones. They had taken control of the Savage from Sharon at the annual meeting in July 1871, in order to get its ore for their mills and to display their newly acquired power, 1943, 1871

"Toward the end of January 1872, Hayward gave an unlimited order to buy Savage stock, which was then $62 a share. Next the miners were confined, and the public denied entrance to the mine. No one was permitted to see or tell of a rich strike-which had not been made, 1943, January 1872

[p. 87] "Hayward began to boom Savage stock early in 1872 by giving out mysterious reports of a rich strike, and by confining the miners underground-an old Comstock trick. The miners did no [p. 88] work and lived on the fat of the land. Great excitement followed, 1943, January 1872

"The whole market went up with a rush. Savage rose from $62 on February 1 to $310 on the 8th, fell to $230 the middle of March, 1943, February, March 1872

The Savage stocks rose to $460 on April 17, and to $725 on April 25. At that price the mine was selling on a basis of $12,400,000, which was almost as much as Crown Point and Belcher were worth, 1943, April 1872

In 1867 the constitution of the newly formed Miners' Union provided that all men working underground should receive $4 for an eight-hour shift. That rule was not enforced, it appears, but became uniform after John P. Jones, then candidate for the U.S. Senate, ordered that on and after April 1, 1872, the eight-hour day should apply to all men working underground in the Crown Point mine, 1943, April, 1872, 1867

The price of Savage stock rose rapidly to $725 on April 25, 1943, April 1872

"Crown Point rose to $800 on February 1, then hung around $770 until the middle of March, rose to $1,250 by April 17, to $1,700 on the 25th, and to $1,825 on May 5. Belcher followed along with Crown Point, and reached the top, $1,525, on April 25. . . . 1943

[p. 133] "The stocks in the 150 mines listed on the exchange (which included many scattered all over the West), had increased in value from $17,000,000 in January to $81,000,000 on the 5th of May. A crash was inevitable and was hastened by the moves of Sharon who was a rival candidate against Jones for a seat in the United States Senate. On May 8, Sharon let it be known that he had information that J.P. Jones had been instrumental in setting the Yellow Jacket fire in April 1869, in order to break the market at that time. The charge was baseless and almost absurd, although Sharon had the affidavits of several irresponsible men. The market had reached tottering heights and the sensation brought it down. Stocks dropped 30 to 40 percent. The panic that followed shook San Francisco like an earthquake; speculators saw their fortunes crumble . Crown Point fell from $1,825 on May 5 to $1,659 on the 8th, and to $1,000 a few days later. 1943, May, 1872

In May the Crown Point boom collapsed and Savage with it. There had been no rich strike; it was a cold-blooded stock deal that hurt many people. [Footnote: The San Francisco Chronicle of May 19 charged Jones and Hayward with unloading Savage on their friends.] 1943, May, 1872

The Jones crowd raided Belcher, which fell from $1,400 to $750, but recovered shortly to $1,000, 1943, 1872

"One of Lord's best stories is spoiled by a little fact. He says that because of Sharon's charge against Jones, Crown Point shares fell to one eighteenth of their former price and hurried on a general fall in mining stocks, overlooking the fact that on May 15 the capital stock of Crown Point was increased from 12,000 to 100,000 shares (8 1/3 for 1), which left the price $100 a share. A few weeks later it rose to $135. Belcher was increased from 10,400 to 104,000 on August 1, 1872, and fell to $108 a share, which led innocent writers to comment on the extraordinary decline in prices, 1943, 1872

The elections were said to be characterized by "a saturnalia of corruption." [Footnote: Davis' History of Nevada, pp. 421-423 (1913), 1943

Jones, a seasoned politician, had himself called "The Commoner," spent his newly won wealth regally, and was triumphantly elected in January 1873-an office which he filled with credit to himself and his State for thirty years, 1943, 1903-1873, 1870s

Harry M. Gorham, Sen. J.P. Jones' nephew, wrote in My Memories of the Comstock (1939), "When Jones went to the Senate he took off a balance sheet, and he was worth $8,000,000," 1943, 1939, 1873

"He does not make any explanation for the failure to report to his stockholders in 1871 and 1872. The report of 1873 covers all three years."1943

In 1874, Sharon ran for Stewart's empty seat, and won election by the legislature, 1943, 1874

Sutro was also a candidate, as he was in every senatorial election thereafter up to and including 1880, 1943

[ Jones bought into Arcadia and Col. Robert Baker's holdings in Los Angeles County, 1874]

[p. 135] "The aftermath of the Hayward-Jones friendship, according to the Virginia Evening Chronicle of December 12, 1874, was a quarrel over the Crown Point, in which Jones prevailed. "Now Jones and Hayward are at swords' points. They are even more bitter in their hatred of each other than Sharon and Jones ever were," 1943, 1874

Jones made private milling profits running into the millions, 1943, 1870s

[p. 208] "There were three active stock exchanges in San Francisco during the flush '70s, each with a large membership. Able and daring men gravitated to them by instinct. They were the liveliest places on the Coast and the focus of public attention, 1943, 1876, 1870s

"The big speculators, like Sharon, Flood, Hayward, Jones and Skae had their favorite brokers, who in turn usually employed other brokers to buy and sell on the exchanges. These groups were almost constantly at war with one another. Other large dealers, "Lucky" Baldwin for example, played a lone hand against everybody, 1943, 1876, 1870s,

Sutro was also a candidate, as he was in every senatorial election thereafter up to and including 1880; and each time he failed to receive a single vote in the Legislature.], 1943, 1880

Following press criticism, Sen. Jones took the precaution to have the names of others appear as trustees of his mines and his private milling companies, 1943, 1890s, 1880s

Senator J.P. Jones . . . had been mining low-grade ores from the old stopes of the Crown Point and the Belcher for three years (as a lessee) [Jone leased his old mine (s) in 1880], 1943, 1883, 1880

[The stopes were still filled with resinous wood . . .]

[See Fire, 1881, Lumber; Stopes]

"Fortunately, no fire occurred until May 3, 1881, when the bonanza ore was exhausted. There was no hope of quenching it, so all drifts and other openings into the stopes were closed and sealed in order to shut off the supply of oxygen. [p. 249] Three years after, when the fire was brought under control by the injection of carbonic acid gas, the upper stopes were opened and the extraction of low-grade ore was begun, 1943, 1884, 1883, 1881

"In 1883 Senator J.P. Jones, who had been mining low-grade ores from the old stopes of the Crown Point and the Belcher for three years (as a lessee), was given a lease on the Con. Virginia stopes from the 1550 level upward under an agreement to pay a royalty of 50 cents a ton for every ton milled, 1943

All of the openings into the stopes had been sealed since the fire broke out in 1881 and it was stipulated that he should not begin operations until the stopes could be entered., 1943

[Footnote: "When the fire burned out the millions of feet of timbers which had been packed into the stopes as the ore was removed, the whole country caved downward to fill the vacancy. The cave extended far up on the hillside back of the town leaving a long crack like an earthquake slip. So great was the pressure in the stopes that pieces of old 14-inch timbers were compressed to 6 and even 4 inches and resembled petrified wood. The town itself slid downward a little, but without damage except to brick buildings." Nevada Historical Magazine for 1911-1912.],1943

The Jones Interests and the Sharon Interests the Yellow Jacket reduced 750,000 tons of ore averaging $12 a ton, mill returns, during the eight years following 1882, but only to the advantage of their mills. No dividends were paid, but on the contrary a few assessments were levied when the mill returns failed to pay the expense of mining and milling. Such of the other mines as could find a little ore were producing on the same basis, 1943, 1890, 1882, 1920-1850

"[Footnote: Comstock mines during the past three years have been steadily increasing the yield from low-grade ores extracted from old workings in the upper levels; no dividends being paid, but nearly all steadily levying assessments. Of course there is no profit in the business on that basis," says the Mining and Scientific Press of December 27, 1884, "and yet most of those interested in the operations of these mines manage to get a profit out of them by ownership of the mills that crush the ore. ", 1943

"In 1883 Senator J.P. Jones, who had been mining low-grade ores from the old stopes of the Crown Point and the Belcher for three years (as a lessee) [Jone leases his old mine (s) in 1880] was given a lease on the Con. Virginia stopes from the 1550 level upward under an agreement to pay a royalty of 50 cents a ton for every ton milled. All of the openings into the stopes had been sealed since the fire broke out in 1881 and it was stipulated that he should not begin operations until the stopes could be entered, 1943, 1883, 1881, 1880s, 1920-1850

[p. 250] "Mackay was in Europe practically all of that year [1883] engrossed in the affairs of the proposed Atlantic cable, and it is evident that neither he nor Superintendent Patton had much confidence that the fills and margins of the old stopes could be mined at a profit. All of their efforts during the preceding four years [1883-1879] had been spent on a search for a new ore body below the Con. Virginia bonanza. Development work down to and including the 2900-foot level had been a continual disappointment, and on January 1, 1885, deep mining in the North End mines was abandoned. Ten months later the water was at the 2000-foot level and still rising. 1943, 1885, 1884, 1883, 1880s, 1879, 1920-1850

[p. 250] "Patton notified Jones in the spring of 1884 that he had extended a drift into the stopes o the 1200-foot level and that he could begin operations. Jones commenced in May, and up to November 1, 1885, had mined and milled 18,487 tons of ore yielding $310,109.69, or $16.70 a ton, valuing silver at $1,2929 an ounce. The discount brought the value down to $14 a ton., 1943

[p. 250] "As soon as it appeared that Jones was succeeding the Con. Virginia company began to extract low-grade ore below the 1550-foot level. For economy of management and operations the Con. Virginia and California companies were reincorporated on October 1, 1884, as the Consolidated California and Virginia Mining Company with a capital of 216,000 shares of the par value of $100 each. The company itself mined 19,670 tons, yielding $15.91 a ton during the first year, which gave a small profit. Mackay wanted the company to take over all of the operations and he [p. 251] persuaded Jones to surrender his lease to the company by agreeing to give him a one-third interest in the new milling company to be organized to mill the ores. James L. Flood who had taken his father's place in connection with mining affairs,, was the third partner. [p. 251 Footnotes: James C. Flood [ -1889] died in 1889 of a long and distressing illness with Bright's disease. It is said that Mackay and James L. Flood bought all of the stock in the treasury at the market price when these operations were begun.], 1943

[p. 251] "The Jones lease was surrendered on January 1, 1886, and the Consolidated Company entered upon ten years of very profitable mining in and about the old stopes, although the operation would have been far less successful except for the lucky discovery of three narrow sheets of good ore adjoining the old California stopes. The first one was found in the summer of 1886, the second in 1891, and the last in 1894. It happened that the first was encountered after Mackay returned to take charge while Superintendent Patton took a vacation. Fair had done little crosscutting on either side of the bonanza owing to the rush of water that followed the cutting of clay walls. In these later years the stopes were practically dry as the water had been drained by deeper workings, 1943

[p. 252] "During the years 1884 to 1895, inclusive, the (the Con. Virginia) mine produced 860,661 tons of ore, yielding $16,447, 221, coin value, or $19.11 a ton, from which dividends amounting to $3,898,800 were paid, after the payment of $1 a ton royalty to the Sutro Tunnel Company. The value of the gold exceeded that of the coin value of the silver by nearly $2,000,000. The average milling charge was $6.50 per ton, with an 80 percent recovery rate. Mackay and Flood had large idle mills at that time, which enabled them to make a low milling charge . . .1943

[p. 252] "It is interesting to note that the low-grade operations in the bonanza mines yielded more in dividends than were paid by any of the other Comstock mines in all their history with the exception of three-the Savage, the Crown Point, and the Belcher, 1943

  • Late in the nineteenth century, when the American ladder system of public education had been quite fully developed; and when, for the first time, the elementary, then the secondary, and finally the higher segments of the school systems had been placed under public control and given public support, leaders in the field began to turn critical attention upon the entire system of public instruction. As defects became increasingly obvious, plans for reorganization were formulated. These plans, however, did not get under way until 1910, a year after the junior high program in Berkeley and Columbus had begun. [7. Gruhn and Douglass, op. cit., p. 38], 1952, 1910, 1900s
  • The Junior High School Movement
  • The first junior high schools to appear in the United States were opened in Berkeley, California, and in Columbus, Ohio, in 1919. [5. William T. Gruhn and Karl R. Douglass, The Modern Junior High School, New York: The Ronald Press Company, 1947, p. 37.] Superintendent Frank Bunker of Berkeley and John H. Francis of Los Angeles were the first to establish junior high schools in California. In 1911, Los Angeles adopted a full 6-3-3 program, and seeing the advantage of such a program, Superintendent Rebok requested permission from the Santa Monica Board of Education to set up an intermediate school in the soon to be vacated Lincoln School Building. [6. Board Minutes, July 11, 1912.],1952, 1947, 1919, 1911, 1910
  • Educators generally had become concerned about the 8-4 organization of the school program.
  • John Dewey, a pioneer in the 6-6 movement, found many to agree with him when he voiced it as his opinion that the mere acquiring of knowledge is not the proper end of elementary education. The real aim, he said, should be to organize the instincts and impulses of children into working interests and tools. [8. John Dewey and Evelyn Dewey, Schools of Tomorrow, New York: E.P. Dutton & Company, Inc., 1915, pp. 15-16.]
  • Limiting the time in elementary school to six years, he believed, would tend to make clear the real issues of elementary education. Other educators strengthened Dewey's position by pointing out that the seventh grade, rather than the ninth, is the natural turning point in the pupil's life, marking aa it does the beginning of adolescence when new methods and more specific instructions are necessary.
  • In Santa Monica, Horace M. Rebok, city superintendent of schools, became deeply interested in the junior high movement. Upon his recommendation, John G, McNeeley was employed as principal to organize the Lincoln School in 1912.
  • Rebok's particular concern centered upon the fact that because of late school entrance, retardations, and high grade standards, there were pupils of sixteen to eighteen years of age still in the grammar grades.
  • He pointed out that because of these wide differences in age the smaller children were being subjected to situations often unwholesome. [3. Loc. cit.]
  • Upon the recommendation of the superintendent, supported by the backing of the women of the town, the board ordered that a study be made of age-grade distributions and possible plans of organization for the district. [4. Board Minutes, Mar. 31, 1910.]
  • The results of this study began to appear in 1912 when the board approved the establishment of the first intermediate schools.
  • Lincoln Junior High Schools
  • The organization of an intermediate school in the old ten-room Lincoln building coincided with the removal of the high school to its new building on Prospect Hill.
  • The Lincoln School opened with an enrollment of 110 pupils, and a staff of three teachers. From September, 1912, to February, 1913, classes were held in a finished portion of the new high school building, still under construction, and for a time in the council chamber of the old city hall.
  • When the original Lincoln building had finally been vacated by the high school grades, the Lincoln Junior High School claimed the old structure. Here it remained until 1923, when a new plant designed for its use was completed. [10. Pearl, op. cit., p. 74.], 1952, 1923, 1910s

  • The Lincoln School, founded in 1912, and the John Adams School, established in 1914, became full junior high schools when the state adopted legislation in 1919 making possible a 6-3-3 plan of organization. Later, as a result of the success of the junior high school program, the board approved the design and construction of four new elementary schools patterned after the platoon system.

was an educator of strong convictions and courage and his

leadership often turned strenuous opposition into active support of the schools.

He so won the confidence of the public that not one of the five bond issues submitted to the voters during his administration met with defeat. [2. Pearl, Santa Monica Schools, p. 122.]

Upon his recommendation, John G, McNeeley was employed as principal to organize the Lincoln School in 1912. In 1914, another school , John Adams was constructed and designated as an intermediate school. The two institutions, however, offered only the seventh and eighth grade work. [9.Board Minutes, Aug. 5, 1912.] But in 1919, when the state legislature enacted a measure legalizing the junior high school program, both Lincoln and John Adams were immediately established as full junior high schools.
