It was his custom during each August to gather the Indian children of suitable age as fa, North as Riverside county, placing them in the school until the followin,g Jun,e, when he returned them for vacation to their homes.

He was known as the beloved ' 1 Pa,dre Antonio" of the Indians of San Diego County, the 11 Father Gaspar" of ttRamona."
