31.	Vallejo had short-lived stint as state capital / Bowen, Jerry [782] [WAYITWAS-2007-782] The next time you are in the area bounded by York, Santa Clara, Maine and Sacramento streets in Vallejo, you will be near a long-gone historic site. Back in 1852 a two-story building sporting two flags dominated a hill that was centrally located between those streets. Detailed record - Similar records
32.	Christmas customs of the past / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [768] [WAYITWAS-2007-768] There are few recordings of how early Solano County settlers prepared for or celebrated the Christmas season. Customs surely varied widely based on each family's immigration background. Taking a day off from work and having the means to create a well-cooked meal likely were the highlights for early pioneers.

33.	Could schools of the past teach us something? / Bowen, Jerry [766] [WAYITWAS-2007-766] This is the last in a series on the early rules of grammar school education. The subjects discussed were penmanship, bookkeeping and current events, as taken from the 1911 Solano County Course of Study. I'm not so sure that they are still pursued in depth in many of the schools of today to any degree. Detailed record - Similar records
34.	'Tapeworm ticket' hurts intestines of election / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [765] [WAYITWAS-2007-765] My last column looked at local elections in the 1860s and 1870s and their tumultuous proceedings. One of the most memorable elections occurred in 1871, when Vallejo gained national fame for the invention of the so-called "tapeworm ticket." The main information for the events surrounding this ballot ticket can be found in "Recollections of a Newspaperman," written by Frank A. Leach in 1917. Detailed record - Similar records
35.	Lessons, then and now / Bowen, Jerry [764] [WAYITWAS-2007-764] In my last column, we took a continuing brief look at some of the 1911 requirements as written in the Course of Study Rules for Promotion and Graduation from Solano County Schools to graduate, in the eighth grade, from grammar school. Detailed record - Similar records
36.	Law was passed closing saloons on election day to quell rioting / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [763] [WAYITWAS-2007-763] Our recent local elections with low voter turnout and disinterested citizens had me look at earlier elections in Solano County. With today's well-regulated and orderly campaign and voting system in mind, 19th century elections read more like a riot. Detailed record - Similar records
37.	Lessons learned in 1911 / Bowen, Jerry [739] [WAYITWAS-2007-739] In my last column we took a brief look at some of the 1911 requirements to graduate from grammar school (the eighth grade). This week we will look at a brief summary of reading and literature and an example of part of an article written by a graduate of high school in 1912. Detailed record - Similar records
38.	Wartime proclamation reflected somber mood / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [738] [WAYITWAS-2007-738] My last column looked at the early years of the Fairfield-Suisun Airbase, a wartime response to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Although the local newspapers did not report much about the activities, local residents were eager to learn more about the "great flying field." Detailed record - Similar records
39.	Course was spelled out for pupils 100 years ago / Bowen, Jerry [735] [WAYITWAS-2007-735] In my last column we took a sneak preview of what it was like for school students back in 1909. I thought you might find it quite interesting how much of an education you had to have just to enter high school. In 1911, the Solano County Schools Board of Education issued a book of "Rules for Promotion and Graduation" and a "List of Supplementary Reading Books." Detailed record - Similar records
40.	Construction took off in building an Army airfield / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [734] [WAYITWAS-2007-734] My recent columns on the wartime housing boom in response to the incoming personnel for the Fairfield-Suisun Army Air Field led me to look a bit closer at the early years of Travis Air Force Base.
