LEARNING

SPANISH
CALIFORNIA

Schools in early California left much to be desired for
the education of the peasant population. As a youth, Don
Diego, with sons of the landed gentry, returned to Spain
for tutoring, but other children were not an fortunate.

Actually, only six schools existed at that
time, housing less than fifty students
within their crude adobe walls, where
soldier- teachers taught with rigid rules.

There were no high schools, and the pri-
mary classes consisted only of the four R's
. . . reading, writing, reckoning, religion.
Religion was the prime subject, however.

Lessons were read as loud as lungs would
allow, and each child had to memorize full
scripts from the masters. Failure to do so
meant punishment by the teacher.

Only on rare occasions were girls schooled.
It was considered a waste of time to teach
them as they would gel married at an early
nge and the education would be useless.
