    3. FOURTH STREET PRIMARY SCHOOL-Historical Sketch, 1879-80 This school is located at the corner of Fourth and Clara streets, in a frail and poorly arranged wooden building, containing ten small class-rooms. This was originally the old Rincon Grammar building on Hampton Place, and was removed to the present location in 1863. The school also occupies a rented building, containing six rooms, on the corner of Mission and Mary streets. It is a mixed school for boys and girls, and contains about eight hundred and eighty pupils. It was opened in April, 1863 under the supervision of Mr. A. E. McGLYNN. Mr McGLYNN was succeeded by Mrs. L. A. MORGAN, who was elected 16, 1865 and remained until April 18, 1876, when she tendered her resignation. The Board of Education, however, did not accept her resignation, but granted her an indefinite leave of absence on account of her valuable services and long connection with the department. Miss. E. E. STINCEN, the present principal, took charge of the school in April 1876. =================== Carolyn
