" . . . this undistinguished townscape and its underlying flat topography were quite essential in producing the distinctively Angeleno ecologies that surround it on every side. In a sense it is a great service area feeding and supplying the foothills and beaches-across its flatness of instant track-laying ballast, the first five arms of the railroad system were spread with as little difficulty as toy trains on the living room carpet, and later the Pacific Electric inter-urban lines, and later still the freeways. The very first railroad of all in the area, the Wilmington line, ran down across the plains to the harbour, but it was the Long Beach line of the Pacific Electric with its spurs to Redondo and San Pedro and its entanglements with the Los Angeles Pacific (which it bought out in 1906) which really began the great internal network that used the plains to link downtown, the foothills, and the beaches into a single comprehensible whole.

"[p. 178] Sarah Bernhardt came here several times-usually to play in vaudeville. Life was never monotonous during the period of her visits. The first time she went to live in a hotel at Venice by the sea and insisted that she should catch the fish for her own dinner every night. The press agent of the Orpheum had to hire old sea-dogs to catch fish; put them in a tub under the wharf and see that Madam's fish-hook arrived in the tub. On her last visit they hired a floor of a Hollywoood hotel for her; but she was adamant; she would go back to Venice-by that time a wreck of the gay resort she had visited. Coming back to the theater for an evening performance, her car bumped into a truck loaded with iron pipe. She catapulted into the front seat of her car and hurt her knee. She finished the evening journey riding on the lap of the truck-driver. I was so unfeeling as to write a newspaper story about it and she hired bill-boards all over town to denounce me and my iniquities . . . the press agent following with a second detachment of bill-board stickers to paste over the [p. 179] denunciation. Madame Bernhardt never recovered from the injury to her knee. When she got to Paris, her leg was amputated-and this was the beginning of the end. She made one more visit, being carried onto the stage in a wheeled chair and supporting herself by a table as she went through the motions of acting. Her greatest rival, Duse, also made one of the last appearances of her life in Los Angeles. In those days my newspaper work was concerned largely with the world of sports as well as the theater.

" . . . With the granting of a city charter to Santa Monica in 1906, the schools passed from the jurisdiction of the County Superintendent of Schools to that of the Santa Monica Board of Education. This change afforded the city an opportunity, through its Board of Education, to create its own courses of study and establish its own educational policies, in accord with the general school law of the state.
" . . .
On May 2, 1906, the voters of Santa Monica again turned out to the polls in even larger numbers and approved the bonds by a vote of 288 to 66. The women of the Circle had once again secured a record vote approving another $60,000 worth of school bonds, an almost stupendous sum for the small beach city to assume when it had virtually no industry to help increase its assessed valuation. In 1907, the property value of the Santa Monica School District totaled $194,000 with an outstanding indebtedness of over $129,000. [25. Annual Report, Santa Monica City Schools, 1906-07, unpublished report in files of Santa Monica Board of Education.]
As a result of the three school bond issues, six new buildings were added to the district in less than two years. The buildings ranged in size from the one-room Westside School to the large eight-room buildings for the Garfield and Jefferson schools. A brief account of some of the salient historical events is presented for each of these schools.
Garfield School
Garfield School, the eight-room, two-story, brick building which rose at Seventh Street and Michigan Avenue at an approximate cost of $22,828, began its existence in 1906. Named for James A. Garfield, former President of the United States, the school was honored by the late President's family when James R. Garfield, then Secretary of the Interior, personally presented it with a picture of his father. [26. Josephine O'Leary*, Garfield School Annual Report, Unpublished written report to the Superintendent, June, 1929; in files of Santa Monica Board of Education, p. 4.] The picture remains as a valued possession of the school today.
Nettie B. Rice*, who had been with the schools since 1903, opened Garfield School as principal with a staff of four teachers. She remained in that position until 1921, when she went into high school work. Garfield School accommodated grades one through eight, a fact which created special problems since the size of the playground prevented the older pupils from playing ball because it endangered the smaller ones in their play. Additional property soon provided the necessary play space, however.
Some of the modern school functions that today are accepted as a matter of course, had their inception in the difficulties experienced at Garfield with its mixed pupil population. "Spanish Hills" on the south, the Chinese farm children on the north and east, side by side with a settlement of Negro families and a scattering of Italians, Japanese, and Russians-all added to the melting pot area that surrounds the school. [27. Personal interview with Sadie Jenkins, May 8, 1951; Santa Monica, California.);
The first school cafeteria was established in the Garfield School to help provide adequate nourishment for children from some of these homes. Miss Rice* described the development of the cafeteria program as follows:
"Many of the children came to school hungry because both home and labor conditions were bad. In the belief that a hungry stomach and a fertile brain do not go hand in hand, an attempt was made to remedy the situation. For a time the Imperial Ice Company, through the kindness of Mr. J. Howard Blanchard, the owner and a member of the board of education, furnished and delivered all the skimmed milk we could use. The French Bakery at the corner of Michigan and Seventh Street, gave us all their day old bread. Children who had come to school without food were served warm milk and toast."The crude little cafeteria, its only cook-stove the school furnace, was a far cry from the modern school cafeterias today, yet it served it purpose. With hard times country wide, the need at Garfield grew. Kind women, among them Mrs. Blanchard, Mrs. Carrie Parker, Mrs. Mae Fogel, and Mrs. Abbott Kinney supplied that need with hot soup that was served to the hungry children without charge." [Pearl, op. cit., p. 36-7.]
The first Parent-Teachers Association in Santa Monica was established at the Garfield School, its first president being Mrs. H.R. Morton. Both Mrs. Fogel and Mrs. D.G. Stephens, who assisted at the first meeting, continued their sponsorship of the organization for a number of years and were instrumental in its spreading to other schools in Santa Monica,. [29. Ibid., p. 39.] The present units of the association can point with pride to the services they have rendered throughout the years to the Santa Monica City Schools.
It was at Garfield, too, that Santa Monica's first "opportunity" or ungraded rooms were established, when Superintendent Martin discovered that pupils from the ages of eight to eighteen were still attending the primary grades. Emily Rhodes was appointed to conduct these new ungraded grammar grades, while the primary division was under the direction of Marie Donahue. The philosophy underlying the program was utilitarian in character, as evidenced by the fact that a part of the "opportunity" training was devoted to instruction in gardening. On a plot of ground adjoining the school, and loaned by its owner for the purpose, the classes planted and harvested vegetable gardens. Part of the produce was used in the school cafeteria and part was sold to provide seeds, fertilizer, and tools for the project.

During 1906 the garbage incinerator was completed for Santa Monica and various mains were constructed in preparation for the erection of a septic tank. But a suitable location for the septic tank and outfall system could not be found. The entire community was canvassed; innumerable suggestions were made by the citizens, the council and by outsiders; but no solution of the matter that promised to satisfy all was reached util September, 1907 . . .

[p. 240] 1906
During this year a determined effect was made to improve the streets of Santa Monica by the latest methods of oiling and surfacing. In pursuance of this object about 12,000 barrels of oil were used and many streets which had hitherto been dusty in summer and muddy in winter became practically as hard and clean as paved streets. The Santa Monica system of oil-paved streets became widely known and was rated as having an important bearing on the problem of road construction. This method was used in improving San Vicente road, the new boulevard from the Soldiers' Home to Ocean avenue. This street was 130 feet wide, with the trolley lines in the center, was curbed and lined with trees and when completed made one of the finest drives in the country. It was proposed to extend Sunset boulevard and improve it to connect with this new road. There was also much talk during the year of a finely improved boulevard from Washington street, Los Angeles to Ocean Park to join the Del Rey speedway. A scheme for a boulevard to extend southward along the coast to Redondo and thence to San Pedro was also proposed and discussed, but has not yet materialized. Much talk of the Gould line which was supposed to be coming down the coast via the Malibu road which was in course of construction, and which would give Santa Monca a new "transcontinental" line, was indulged in. There was also much talk of Huntington purchasing everything in sight and building a new trolley line to Los Angeles-all of which served to fill the papers.
[p. 210 Santa Monica City Council 1906, 1908b]
One of the most beautiful suburbs of Santa Monica, located just to the north and within view of the ocean, is Brentwood Park. This is a tract of several hundred acres which have been highly improved. Streets have been graded and oiled, curbs, and gravel walks laid and many hundreds of trees and shrubs [p. 241] planted out. Water is piped to every lot and electric lights have been installed. A number of handsome homes have been built here.
In January the Odd Fellows dedicated their handsome new building on Third street and January 31st the Merchants' National Bank moved into its own quarters in the Dudley block, a structure that would do credit to any city. The Kensington apartments, an attractive apartment house containing all the latest devices for comfort, was built on the ocean front south of the Arcadia, at a cost of $15,000. Several new blocks were put up on Pier Avenue. The building permits from January to June reached the sum of $194,277, aside from the three new school buildings, which were to cost $75,000 amd the $50,000 pavilion at Pier avenue. Two new fire engine houses were also constructed and the garbage incinerator completed. One of the most notable improvements of the year was the Santa Monica hospital building, which was begun, after long planning, and was completed in the spring of 1907. This is a handsome two-story brick structure, standing on a commanding eminence on South Fourth street. It is completely equipped in the most modern style and is fast taking rank as one of the leading hospitals of the south coast. The handsome two-story brick building which took the placce of the old Sixth-street school house was completed and occupied in the spring of 1907, as was also the Roosevelt school building on the Palisades.

. . . [p. 267] and in 1906 it was decided to replace the old Sixth street school, which had been added to until little of the original building could be found, with a modern building.
In consequence the people were again called upon to bond themselves for school purposes and the sum of $15,000 to complete the three buildings already under way, was voted December 9th, 1905, and of $60,000 for the Sixth street school and a four-room building in the new Palisade tract. The Sixth street school was first occupied in the spring of 1907 and is the equal of any school building in the country.

. . . [p. 322, 1906] Still another election was called October 17th, 1906, to vote $20,000 for the completion of the sewer system. At the same time bonds were voted-$10,000 for engine house and fire-fighting apparatus; $5,000 for city hall and jail and $5,000 for sites for these buildings, and $10,000 for a garbage incinerator, all of which were carried.
[p. 322] The necessary mains and the septic tank, with an outfall at Center street was constructed, and later the outfall was carried out on piling into the ocean. The destruction of the Santa Monica outfall by the storms of April and May, 1905, resulted in a change in the situation. The Ocean Park sewage was turned into its own system and the trustees invited Santa Monica to use their new septic tank, rather than have the sewage discharged into the ocean at Pier avenue, to the detriment of that locality.
[p.320 Brice Mansion, 1908b]
" . . .
. . . [p. 322] The opening of the various concessions at Venice and especially on "the Midway" in 1906, gave rise to much discussion and uncertainty as to the business licenses and this too has proved a difficult subject for the city to handle.

" . . .
[p. 324] The year of 1906 was not marked by such precipitate and unprecedented advances; but it showed a solid growth and a strengthening of the lines all along the beach. One of the first matters given attention was the protection of the shore along the Short Line Beach. An election was called to vote bonds for bulkheads, but the bonds did not carry and eventually Mr. Kinney advanced money to build a temporary protection for the property menaced. About $10,000 was expended in building a bulkhead south of Venice, and then to protect this a system of jetties was put in. A sand pump was also used to fill in back of the bulkhead and still further protect the beach. About 3,000 feet of bulkhead was built altogether.
In January the Ocean Park postoffice was removed to the new Masonic builiding on Marine avenue, after a strong protest had been made by citizens of South Santa Monica. It was still in the municipality of Santa Monica, however, and the necessity of some other arrangement for Ocean Park led to the establishment of a postoffice on Windward avenue, with the name of Venice. Robert M. Granger was the first postmaster. During the year the agitation for free delivery was continued. The postoffice inspector at one time recommended that the Ocean Park office be made the main office with sub-stations at Venice and Santa Monica, and free delivery for the entire bay district. This plan met with strong opposition both in Santa Monica and Venice and was not carried out. In December it was announced that C.E. Lovelace, editor of the Ocean [p. 325] Park Journal, had been appointed as postmaster for Ocean Park in place of Meigs, the incumbent.
The sewage questions continued to disturb the peace of mind of both Santa Monica and Ocean Park citizens, while the failure of the septic tank to deodorize the sewage disturbed the nostrils-and the minds-of many Ocean Park citizens. Suits were begun by the Ocean Park trustees against the Santa Monica trustees to compel them to disconnect their mains; suit was begun by citizens of Ocean Park against their own trustees for permitting such a nuisance. The result was, of course, bad feeling and hard words.

[p. 332, 1906] Chapter XI Venice of America and Its Founder
To further attract the publc arrangements were made to open the [p. 333, Photo, Lake of Venice, 1908b] [p. 333] Midway Plaisance and in November the contract was let for eleven buildings to accomodate this feature. It was opened to the public in January, 1906 and attracted a good deal of attention; but was not a financial success. In May, 1906 Sarah Bernhardt, who would not submit to the demands of the American Theater Trust, played for three days in the Venice Auditorium and declared herself delighted wtih all the fervor of her ardent nature, with this playhouse over the waves.
Venice was provided with the best of fire protection, a system of salt water under high pressure which is always on. It is only necessary to open the fire-hydrants in order to obtain an unlimited amount of water which can be put anywhere desired. The tower is also well supplied with fresh water for domestic use. During 1906 the bath house on the lagoon and the dance Pavilion on the pier were built; both of them beautiful buildings, complete in every detail. Twelve concrete bridges were built across the canals and lagoons and many street improvements were made. The streets and alley ways of Venice were dedicated to the city by its owner; but this city wihin a city has its own fire protection and water system and -to a large extent-its own police protection and street cleaning service. Much thought has been given to the beautifying of the streets and gardens of Venice. Suitable trees and plants have been placed along the borders of the canals and ornamental parks are a part of the scheme in its full treatment. A harbor for commerce and for a military base is also part of the plan.
[p. 334] A special feature of Venice attractions is the social life of the community. The Country Club has always been a favorite resort for those who cared for sports. The tennis courts have been the scene of some brilliant social affairs. The afternoon teas of the ladies of the club are pleasant affairs.
The Five Hundred Club is an organization of ladies which meets Monday afternoons at the Cabrillo for a social card game. The Sunrise Club, of which Mrs. J.M. White is president, meets once in two weeks to work for charitable purposes, The members of this unique little club are doing a good work and hold most enjoyable meetings.
The society dances on Tuesday evenings at the pavilion have become a popular feature of Venice society and are attended by many outsiders. The children's dances, the swimming parties at the bath houses, the boating, are all features that add to the enjoyment of life.

"Another important annexation was described by Ingersoll as "the uninhabited territory known as the 'Palisades.'" This also occurred in 1906.
"The Freeholders' charter set up a system, usual in those days, whereby each ward elected a councilman, and there were seven wards, covering the various parts of the city.

"Venice had fallen into decay from the vain-glorious splendors of Abbott Kinney's dreams. It had been taken over by the new barbarians, as some saw them; and now it was under siege, its bohemian life-style threatened by affluence.
"It was only seventy years ago that Kinney had turned a slough into a new Venice, building a system of canals with arched bridges and a central lagoon. There were genuine gondolas from Italy and genuine singing gondoliers. Stores and hotels with mock-Renaissance fronts and cast-iron Italian columns were built around the lagoon and down Windward Avenue to the sand and along Ocean Front Walk. Now the lagoon is asphalt; the canals broken down, weed-grown and scummy; half the Venetian fronts are missing, like pulled teeth, and the others are scabrous and decayed, their columns rusted. It is a funky slum, not without its charm, in which the inheritors of the vanished beatniks, disdainful of the affluent life of the nearby marina, have rooted their counterculture."
