£ THE WINDHAM SCHOOL BURNED (Continued from Page One.) 1m the year 1873 Mr. Welch found that there were two puplls who had completed four years of work in the higher branches, and the first class, consisting of George F. Taylor and Mrs. W. N. Potter, was graduated. In 1876 the town committee declared fuself in favor of the separation of the grammar and high departments, and the establishment of a town -high school. Good work was being done, but still better would be possible if the separation should take place. Good | educational advantages would draw to ‘Willimantic pupils from other towns and would attract those contemplating residence within the town. “In this view,” said the committee, “It seems @« fair subject of discussion whether the time has not arrived when the es- tabiishment of a high school, free for | the whole town, should be seriously this had little effect upon | for two years later the coramittee declared in its report that i was time there was a high school | ‘which was free to the whole town. The | existing system made it nececssary that those who lived in district 1 pay the public, taxes towards the general support of | the schools and also tuition if thelr children attended the high depart- | ment of district 2. This condition was estly unfair and ought to be remedied. The suggestion was made that the department of district 2 be made a town high school. Nec_action followed this suggestion, and in 1889 out of self-defense the taxpayers of the first established a de- partment similar to that in (he sec ond diggrict, and offering the same ad- vaniages. It was rot long before the voters be- gan to realize that two high schools Were an unnccessary expense. The | committec’s report of that year shows | the absurdity of it by saying the town | of Windham needed a_high school, but 4ld not need two. The existing con- ditions entailed an unmecessary ex- pense, and better work could be done if all interests were in one principal's | hands.

Conolidation in 1888. In 133 thoe plan of ccusolidation wus carried out. Rooms in the Natchaw bullding were rented to the Lown, an F. H. Beede was made principal of the ‘Willimantic High school. This con- solidation was very satisfactory to the town and the most gratifylng prosress wis made. The number of pupils In- creased and a considerable sumn was realized in tuition from out-of-tawn rupils. The courses were revised and cnlarged and more teachers were add- ed to the faculty, muaic and drawing and’ elocution were introduced, nnd a school paper, The Ploneer, was start- ed and interests became more vaiied. The attendance increased so that in 1591 & committe was appointel to in- vesigate the proposition of mews hutding. This committee seems to have taken ao action uuti! the rept of the school rooms was raised frcm $400 to $600. Then something had to be done. Finally a vote was taken to erect a new building to be situated on the corner of Windham and Frospact streets, facing Windham. It was al- so voted that the name of the shool, since it was a_town'affair, should be changed from Willimantic to Windham High school. The building was com- pleted in 1397 and in the beginning of the spring term the pupils, under the charge of S. Hale Baker, moved in. Naturally this year. was marked by the forming of new customs. Class day exercises were held at commencement ind a class tree and class Ivy were planted. In the same year the Wind- ham Athletic association was formed. Principal Poterson’s Fine Work. Four yvears later, through the ef- forts of Arthur Peterson, the next principal, the school was put on its present basis.

In the years following 1900 the town gradually awoke to the fact that in erecting the building of 1887 it had planned for a town high school, and now had upon jts hands a county school. The building was not suited o the number of puplls then attending the school, and a new building or un addition to the old was an absolute necessity. In 1908 the lot on the corner of High and Prospect streets, adjoining the school property, was purchased, and the town voted $61,000 for the construction of a new build- ng. A high school orchestra was made Dossiole in 1407 through the efforte of Principal J. J. Maddox and the kind- ness of George Stiles, H. C. Murray and J. F.

He was the son of Henry Will- son ang Sarah (Hale) Fanning, and | the youngest of nine children. ‘When David was seven vears of age, | his father died, and he remained In the care of an older brother. until he| reached the age of 16. Meanwhile he received such education as the district schools of the neighborhood afforded. The exacting discipline of his brother, | the narrowness of his own life, the | hopelessness of any development, and | the inborn craving to be somebody end to de something, made David am- ‘bitlous to see the world and make his own way. This characteristic had to assert itself ang has ever been a con- spicuous part of his makeup. So, with his few possessions (among which was a Testament given him by his mother. which he always faithfully kept) and a cash capital of $2.50, he left his na- | tive place on foot to seek his for- | tune. | After a twenty mile walk he reach- | ed Danielsonvilie, Conn., at the end of the first day. There he obtained supper, breakfast and lodging for which he paid sixteen cents. FHe then made direct for Worcester, at that time a town of some 10,000 inhabitants There he hoped to find employment, | but not succeeding. went on to ¢ ton, then a part of Lancaster, where he found emplovment in a factory. It is worthy of record that his first bus- iness was in a counterpane mill at six- teen vears of age. He' remained in this position two | years, and by attention to work was bromoted. By economy he saved suf- ficfent money fo give him a start in life. Coming to Worcester in 1845, he served a short apprenticeship at the machinist trade. Tn 1853 he was proprietor of a coun- | try store in Groton Junction, now the city of Aver, Mass. Disposing of this | business later, he went west, remain- ing_in Cleveland two years, Teturning to Worcester in 1857. During the next four years he was employed As a sales- man. In 1859 he married Rosamond Hop- kins Dawless. of Sterling, Mass., by whom he had issue a son who died in infancy, Agnes Maria and Helen Jo- seohine.
