I would imagine Bill Bean is related to one of these children--he's taking a picture for a friend or relative. The photo stands alone in its own right as a glimpse of "universal" daycare, though.Mariannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543003593158696611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-4506227941506661212013-06-07T21:56:35.960-07:002013-06-07T21:56:35.960-07:00That's a word you don't hear too much anym...That's a word you don't hear too much anymore.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-13221387498882249262013-06-07T21:55:49.921-07:002013-06-07T21:55:49.921-07:00Yes.

It featured a delegation of San Francisco school children who “descended from the special train of twelve coaches that bore them to the city beautiful.” School Superintendent Wood said: “Nothing could be more fitting and proper than setting apart in perpetuity one of the most beautiful spots in Alameda.... Playgrounds are the lungs of democracy and make for higher, better, and more wholesome citizenship... where all may rejoice and grow strong in sunshine and fresh air.” After much singing, speechifying, and marching, "the grounds were thrown open, and a day of jollity passed away without mishap... another record of Alameda’s hospitality made in local history.” Both the banquet and the grand opening were reported in detail in the Argus.<br /><br />...<br /><br />When the land nearby the park was excavated for a railroad track in 1892, an enormous burial mound was uncovered that included “the remains of 450 Indians and numerous artifacts," according to geographer Imelda Merlin. “The contents were hauled away in 1908 to Bay Farm Island, where they made admirable though grisly paving and filling material.” The mound was commemorated in Lincoln Park in 1915 when the Daughters of the American Revolution emplaqued a boulder imported from Mt. Tamalpais."<br /><br />http://alamedasun.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=896<br /><br />Apparently this park was well known for its wrought iron fence. I think I see a train station shelter "in the bosom" of the woman.Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-9369171465777958742013-06-07T05:42:32.735-07:002013-06-07T05:42:32.735-07:00Hilarious photo.

He was ahead of his time or wearing his sister's hand-me-downs.<br />4. this could easily be a school for child actors because they look like little rascalsWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
