HighSchooIv. — On June 24, 1891, the electors of the district by an almost 

 unanimous vote, adopted the high-school provision submitted by the last 

 legislature. During the year five different professors in the State University 

 visited the Pasadena schools ; and near the close of the year notice was re- 

 ceived that Pasadena had been placed on the accredited list. Hence, from 

 this time forward graduates of the Pasadena High School would be admitted 

 to the State University, or the Stanford University, without preliminary ex- 

 amination. Hon. Delos Arnold donated to the High School a classified 

 collection of 200 Pacific coast marine shells, a starter for a scientific museum. 

 As this was the first year of the High School, I give a list of its teachers : 



Will S. Monroe, City Superintendent Science. 



James D. Graham Mathematics and Science. 



Mrs. Theo. Coleman English and History. 



Ellen F. Thompson Latin and English. 



ly. E. Evans German and French. 



W. P. Hammond Book-keeping and Penmanship. 



Hattie C. Stacey Music. 



Marie A. Ney Drawing. 



A special effort was made this year to raise the standard of scholarship 

 among the teachers ; and to show what had been reached in this line the 

 following table is given in the year's report :
