cause the school isn't in a wealthy, fashion
able neighborhood. Most students come from
what Bob describes as a "middle-middle
class" district. Consequently, the $700 an
nual tuition agreed on by the board imposed
real hardship on most parents. Says Bob:
"It's a credit to them that they were willing
to make sacrifices to help their children
get a good education."
Even so, each year the school found it
self about $5,000 in the red, which was
covered by voluntary contributions. Bob
won't say how much he himself contributed,
but it reportedly was considerable.
Another major problem was finding a
building. Since the school was to open with
only 12 students, they didn't need a big
place. Most of the first-semester tuition
went into salaries, supplies, lawyer's fees,
and other organizational expenditures.
After searching the neighborhood for
weeks, Bob finally found a building, for
merly a synagogue, which could be rented
for less than $30 a month. The board named
it the Oakwood School, after a famous
Quaker school in Sidney Harmon's home
town, Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
The next problem was teachers. "Most
private schools can't offer pension plans or
any of the other benefits and secuiities pro
vided by public schools, nor pay as much,"
Bob explained. "We could pay even less!"
As a result, they got all the wrong people.
Another drawback was the emotionally
and physically handicapped children
brought to the school by parents seeking
the kind of treatment their youngsters
couldn't get in public schools. "We struggled
along with them for' three years," Bob re
calls, "but it just couldn't work in with our
plans to make it an exceptional school for
exceptional children."
Eventually, each child had to undergo
extensive physical, aptitude, and psycho
logical tests before he was accepted.
In spite of financial difficulties from the
beginning, a scholarship fund was estab
lished to help gifted children whose parents
couldn't afford any tuition payment.
During the first three years, as enroll
ment increased to 50 students, the syna
gogue building could no longer provide
enough space. So parents offered whatever
space they had in their own homes.
Ryan's "exercise shack," on the back of
his property, became the first-grade room.
"All in all," he remembers, "we were
divided into five places. The city officials
were never sure where we held our classes."
Coping with city, county, and state school
boards took much of Bob's time once
he found himself appointed the school's
representative on civic matters. So did find
ing a new site when it was decided they had
to build if they were to stay in business.
After an extensive real-estate hunt, Bob
and Jessica found what they considered an
ideal location at an unusually low price.
Just why the three acres were so reason
able they found out only later: they had
been condemned!
"During the storms of 1938, the whole
- area was flooded," Bob declared. "But in
vestigation revealed that with all the control
work that had been done since then, the
flood danger no longer existed. All I had
to do was to convince the authorities."
And all that took was a year! With the
money he could have earned in the time
he spent running back and forth to . City
Hall, he could have contributed a block
on Wilshire Boulevard!
Nevertheless, by the time Bob went to
New York on a personal-appearance tour
shortly after the first new building was
completed, the rapidly diminishing student
