    • (The South Side School, 1952, 1908a, 1906, 1890-1903
    • Built originally in either 1890 or 1895 as the [South Side] the Washington School was moved from Fourth and Ashland to Phillips Chapel, CME Church, 401 Bay St., Moved to the Bay St. site in 1908 and dedicated on 4 October 1908. 1983, 1949 1910, 1908,
    • The South Side School is the only one remaining of these early schools operating as an elementary school in Santa Monica. In 1904, the name of the school was changed to the Washington School, 1952, 1908, 1908a, 1904, 1903
    • Ashland and 4th St., 1952, 1911, 1908, 1908a, 1903, 1890
    • The Southside School had been renamed the Washington School. Five years after its completion (1903) on January 2, 1908, it burned to the ground. Miss Hamlin recalls the incidents that occurred that day: [46. loc. cit.]
      • "We were having trouble with the furnace that day. Some of the rooms were too hot, others too cold. As a consequence, we could hear an almost continuous signaling to the janitor. I finally talked to him and he said that he was giving the furnace as much as he dared. I instructed him to adjust the ventilators, and then went back to my room, for I was still a teaching principal. Ten minutes later one of my third grade boys rushed up to the desk and cried out excitedly, "Miss Hamlin, Miss Hamlin, the school's on fire!"
      • "I asked him if he remembered the fire drill. When he said that he did, I asked him to give it at once. I then went into the hall to investigate. One of the teachers had her pupils lined up there for the flames had burst through the ventilators in her room. When everyone was safely out of the building, I discovered that the boys, by some prearranged signal among themselves, had formed groups to rescue all the art objects, the encyclopedia, and even the piano."
    • The Washington School that rose out of the ashes of the old one the same year gave the neighborhood its first fine brick building. Cement sidewalks had been laid around the entire block, but weeds and wild flowers still grew unmolested in the streets. The new building contained twelve rooms, was of two-story construction, and commanded a view of the Santa Monica-Ocean Park strand. The slope of the hill permitted the extension of the building downward, creating a sub-story. Before three years were passed, space in the sub-story room had been converted into classroom space. [47. Pearl, op. cit., p. 27.], 1952, 1908
    • The schools found it difficult to keep pace with this phenomenal growth, and the inadequacy of instructional facilities made it necessary, in 1912, to send the eighth grade to Lincoln School.
    • A year later, the John Adams School took in the seventh and eighth grades making it possible to establish a much needed kindergarten. A Miss Schaffner was selected to direct this early kindergarten program [48. Ibid., p. 28.]
    • Miss Schaffner,* 1952, 1913
      • Early kindergarten program [48. Ibid., p. 28.], 1952, 1913
    • Washington School, still on the march in 1919, added four new primary rooms, the enrollment of the school having again reached the point where a large number of pupils could not be properly accommodated. The board of trustees acquired additional playground space in 1911 [1921?]
    • A Cafeteria Bungalow and Lunch Pavilion were added in 1923. Later, the windows of the pavilion were screened and domestic science classes were held there. 1952, 1923
    • An adjustment room was established in 1929,
    • The daily supervised playground program began in 1930 [49. Mary E. Baker, Washington School Annual Report (unpublished report to the superintendent of schools, June, 1930, p. 1.],
    • The earthquake of 1933 caused considerable damage to the Washington School and compelled it to be closed. When a rigid inspection of the building was made, the school came under the ban of official condemnation and was demolished in 1934. Class work continued in tents that had been erected on the John Adams Junior High School campus nearby. [50. Pearl, op. cit., p. 28.]
    • Formerly at the northwest corner of Fourth and Ashland. The oldest existing school site in Santa Monica was established as Washington School in 1890 and has been in continuous school use since. The present building was constructed in 1934 after the 1933 earthquake and is patterned after the "Santa Monica Plan" developed by the architectural firm of Marsh, Smith and Powell, who also designed the Roosevelt School at Lincoln and Montana. The "Santa Monica Plan," incorporating outdoor activity areas immediately acccessible to classrooms, was a result of experiences incurred by having to hold classes in tents for a year after the earthquake.
    • The present Washington School Building was constructed in 1935 as a cooperative project of the Works Progress Administration and of the Santa Monica Board of Education. The building is mainly one-story construction of the Monterey type of architecture. There are two buildings, one housing the kindergarten and primary grades, and the other accommodating the upper grades, 1952, 1935
    • The Santa Monica schools secured maximum benefits from the funds provided by the Works Progress Administration. John Adams Junior High School, the Roosevelt School, the Washington School, and the Grant School were provided with new plants . . . Each of the buildings was modernized and brought up to state standards . . . all these buildings were completely rehabilitated and made earthquake resistant. Structural reinforcement, walls filled with concrete by the Gunite process, and modernization adapted these plants to more modern school use, 1952, 1930s
    • Currently, Washington School has an average enrollment of nearly 420 children from kindergarten to grade six. There is a faculty of fifteen including a full-time principal and remedial teacher. The school is to have a new cafeteria-auditorium building from the bond funds voted in 1950. This addition should complete the facilities of the school, and as there is limited space available, the growth of the school is restricted to its present site. [51. From Personal Interview with Sadie Jenkens (secretary to the Superintendent of Schools since 1921), May 2, 1951; Santa Monica.] pp. 48-52, 1952
    • The Washington School still serves the Ocean Park area and provides for kindergarten and grades one to six. The building, then an eight-room structure, was destroyed by fire in 1908, but was rebuilt as a twelve-room school. This, in turn, was seriously damaged during the earthquake of 1933, so that again, in 1934, it was rebuilt with a new four-room primary unit and modern upper grade rooms. It continues as a fourteen-room unit today. p. 55, 1952

      • 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.
      • 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 . . .
      • 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.
      • 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 . .
      • [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.
      • After the shafts were sealed large volumes of steam were forced into the workings to check the fire.
      • 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.
      • Instead of paying dividends all three mines began to levy assessments.

      • Ten hours was a shift during all of the early years, but, as conditions underground became more intolerable, the hours of men working in such places were reduced to eight. 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, 1872, 1867

    • The establishment of the S.E.R.A. (State Emergency Relief Administration) had made possible a start on the demolition of condemned buildings (after the Long Beach Earthquake of 1933), and the Santa Monica School District, faced with the necessity of rebuilding almost every schoolhouse, had made application for additional funds with which to finance required reconstruction. But the state had only limited emergency money to spend, and the rehabilitation program undertaken with S.E.R.A. labor was forced to an abrupt end. [23.

    • Ten weeks after the close of the California S.E.R.A. projects and just one week after the approval of the $290,000 school bonds, the new projects secured by Morton Anderson and approved by Washington, D.C., under the Works Progress Administration, got under way. Unemployed men had jobs again, and local merchants, because of the wages of these men were able to smile with less restraint than formerly. [24. Pearl, op. cit., p. 64.], 1952, 1930s

White, superintendent of construction, and his corps of three inspectors worked double and triple time, determined to make as much headway as possible while an abundance of labor was available. To them it was self-evident that when other nearby communities got their reconstruction programs under way, their demands might easily drain the labor market. [25.

    • The present Washington School Building was constructed in 1935 as a cooperative project of the Works Progress Administration and of the Santa Monica Board of Education, 1952, 1935

[26. Beach City Labor Journal, Santa Monica Schools Edition, October, 1937, p. 3.] When the high school plant was finally complete, the Board of Education and the W.P.A. had spent more than $1,225,000 in remodeling and new construction.

    •  Depression Antidote
      • That the nation's public schools suffered severely during the depression of the 1930's is undisputed. New school construction, except in rare instances was out of the question, and in some districts funds for even ordinary repairs were lacking. Some schools were forced to shorten the term so that teachers' salaries might be saved. In many communities, because of shifts in population and for other reasons, schools were badly overcrowded, with pupils often receiving only half-day instruction because of a lack of classrooms. [21. H.H. Linn Some Practical Suggestions for W.P.A. Works in Public Schools, American School Board Journal, 92, March, 1936, 27-29.], 1952
      • But bad as conditions were generally, the observation probably is not unwarranted that the schools of southern California, due to the exigencies described in the preceding section of this chapter, were doubly pressed for money with which to repair damaged buildings and maintain an educational program on greatly reduced tax moneys. Their comeback and even forward progress are doubtless due, at least in large measure, to the aid received from the Works Progress Administration. [22. Charles H. Judd Federal work Program for Better Schools, School and Society, 65, March 21, 1937, 410.]
      • Wherever possible, the school administration found work for as many men and women as the Works Progress Administration would provide, 1952, 1937, 1930s
      • Office workers were placed with the Board of Education and in the offices of the several schools, 1952, 1937, 1930s
      • The employment provided and the resultant stimulation of business did much to bring the city of Santa Monica from the worries of the depression to a more stable economy that followed. [28, Pearl, op. cit., p. 64.], 1952, 1930s
      • Total expenditures reached nearly $3,000,000, of which the Board of Education supplied less than $950,000, or about 32 per cent of the total cost. [31. Beach Cities Labor Journal, Santa Monica Schools Edition, October, 1937, p. 3.], 1952, 1937, 1930s
    • Despite the period of severe economic stress through which the schools had gone from 1931 to 1939, they emerged from the depression strengthened both physically and educationally, 1952, 1939, 1921 1930s
    • An appraisal of the work accomplished by the Board of Education and the W.P.A. reveals many values to Santa Monica and its schools, 1952, 1937, 1930s
      • The Santa Monica schools secured maximum benefits from the funds provided by the Works Progress Administration. John Adams Junior High School, the Roosevelt School, the Washington School, and the Grant School were provided with new plants John Muir and Franklin elementary schools were made quake-resistant by the removal of the second story and the strengthening of the lower floor, with additional classrooms being provided to replace those that had been removed. Each of the buildings was modernized and brought up to state standards. Although few changes were made in the original plans of the Lincoln Junior High School and the Madison and McKinley elementary schools, all these buildings were completely rehabilitated and made earthquake resistant. Structural reinforcement, walls filled with concrete by the Gunite process, and modernization adapted these plants to more modern school use, 1952, 1930s

        • Established shops where W.P.A. labor and salvage materials could be utilized, 1952, 1930s
        • Substantial savings were effected for the school district when Paul M. White, superintendent of construction, established shops where W.P.A. labor and salvage materials could be utilized.
        • Ventilators, ornamental iron work, cabinets, and other construction accessories were made there, as well as the window frames and sashes for the entire building program.
        • Other shops made and kept in repair tools used in demolition, remodeling, and landscape projects.
        • Besides the financial saving these prefabrication shops effected, the entire program was enabled to proceed at a faster rate than would otherwise have been possible, 1952, 1930s

    • During the years of World War I, when the impact of the conflict was felt strongly by students and faculty, Santa Monica High School engaged in many patriotic activities. Among other things, they raised money for an ambulance to be sent to the French army. The Red Cross sewing class at the school numbered 216 participants, the largest class in the history of the school. So many young patriots joined the armed forces that there were almost twice as many girls as there were boys in the school.

    • Harry Carr, Los Angeles Times Reporter and personal friend of Willard Wright writes in 1935:
    • "Mr. Wright is known to the reading public as S.S. Van Dine.
    • A relative of H.E. Huntington, [he would like you to think]
    • he came out of the university [Becaue he was drinking absinthe in class] a pink-faced boy with the intellectural daring of a swash-buckling pirate.
    • Millionaire Huntington did not recognize the light of genius [which was however appreciated by Gertrude Stein] but gave him a cap with a gilt band and a job as ticket-taker at the passenger gate of the Pasadena line of the Pacific Electric Railroad at Sixth and Main Streets.
    • Waiting in the front rank of the commuters, one of the reporters of the Los Angeles Times fell into conversation with Wright and finally brought him on a visit to the newspaper office.
    • At that time the managing editor of the Times was a Maine Yankee named H.E. Andrews.
    • The minute his eye fell upon [p. 348] the boy in the ticket-taker's cap, Andrews called him to the desk and offered him the position of literary critic of the paper.
    • Seldom has any American newpaper had a more brilliant or more ruthless writer. He delighted to fall upon a book of poems published at her own expense by some spinster school-teacher.
    • He would print columns of extracts with grave editorial comments on the hidden meanings.
    • The literary colony of the West was at that time in Carmel near Monterey-Mary Austin, Harry Leon Wilson, George Sterling, Jack London, Robinson Jeffers and many others. Wright had an audience. H.L. Mencken and George Jean Nathan were then editing Smart Set; they sent for young Wright and made it a trio. His candor and lack of inhibitions were a little too strongly flavored even for those sophisticates and the partnership broke up. While on Smart Set, Wright wrote the cruel but priceless essay called Los Angeles, the Chemically Pure, which young writers have been imitating ever since.
    • After leaving the magazine he wrote a book on art history that has been recognized as a standard and authoritative work-perhaps the peak of his literary life; but it returned no dividends. Ill, poverty-stricken and thoroughly discouraged, he tried a detective story while ill in a hospital-and became both rich and famous overnight. [347], 1935,
