[In the spring of 1890 it was discovered that by the creation of the city 

 of Pasadena in 1886, carved out from the old San Pasqual school district, a 

 new school district was thereby created, comprising the same territory as the 

 city ; but this was not understood at the time, and hence the proper legal 

 steps were not taken to comply with the law until a judicial ruling was had 

 in 1890 upon some unsettled points. At that time two of the trustees 

 resided within the city, and the third, C. W. Buchanan, outside. The 

 county superintendent therefore appointed W. S. Wright as the third man 

 within the city district ; and R. Williams and M. D. Painter for the outside 



*Mrs. E. M. Wiuston, of the Washington School, taught in our public school in 18S0-81, and was her- 

 self the principal in 1881-S2. In 1884 she retired for a season ; but as she held a life certificate she was 

 called in occasionally to fill transient vacancies. In 1891-92-93 she was ready for regular service again, 

 and taught those two years in the Wilson Grammar School. In 1S93-94-95 she was in the Washington 

 School, and was here when the dreadful calamity occurred of her husband perishing in a snowstorm in 

 the mountains. Another teacher in this school in 1S93-94-95 was Mary E. Thompson, a granddaughter 

 of the historic " Old John Brown " of Kansas and Harper's Ferry fame.
