Inside pages are clean and binding is tight.Edward Hyatt (1858-1919), was born in Ohio, earned his degree as a geologist and moved with his bride to Washington State to work for the U.S. Geological Survey but contracted tuberculosis and had to move to southern California for the dry air to get well. This was San Jacinto, California, in 1883. Edward was 25 years old. While there, the school district needed a teacher and hired Edward for this. Edward had a gift for helping children learn to enjoy school. In 1884 Edward Hyatt became Principal of San Jacinto School. The San Jacinto Valley had grown tremendously. New families were moving in, houses were being built. The San Jacinto School had grown from 16 students to nearly 100 in less than 2 years. Edward wrote a School Manual to help teachers with their instruction. The School Manual came to be used throughout the State. Edward became President of the Board. From 1888 to 1890, the San Jacinto school transformed from a small town school into the most modern school in the State. They had a high school, military cadets, physical training taught to all grades, a school newspaper named The Mountain Echo, a school library, debate society and a winning football team. The school was the cultural, moral and social center of the town its very heart. In 1906 Edward was encouraged to run for State Superintendent of Schools and won by the largest margin in history 78,000 votes. He wanted a high school and free textbooks for all. He wanted better pay for all teachers and beautiful school buildings and playgrounds. He was successful and won reelection in 1910. The financial structure of California schools was changed at that time. Money from taxes was set aside for schools and average daily attendance became the basis for funding. California education was shaped by this young man. This book is the story of Edward and his wife s life told by their 8th child, Phyllis.
