San Francisco County
MISS CARRIE B. BARLOW
MISS C. B. BARLOW, who has been among the competent teachers
in the public schools of San Francisco for more than twenty years, was born in Dutchess county, New
York. After attending school in her native county, she entered the State
Normal School at Albany, where she completed her course. She then came to
California and engaged in teaching, and afterward, in 1876, became principal of
the Irving primary school. She has from 450 to 500 pupils on the roll, and
eight teachers. This school is located in one of the worst sections of the
city, not over one-third of the pupils hearing the English language spoken at
home, thus making the teacher’s position in schools of different
surroundings. The teachers of this school are very united, and take much
interest in all pupils of whatever nationality.
