Kansas School for the Deaf

The Kansas School For the Deaf, is a K-12 school, located in downtown Olathe, Kansas. In 1861, it became the first school for the deaf established in the state of Kansas, and today it remains the largest. Originally named the "Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb", the name has been changed several times to conform to prevailing sensibilities about deafness. Students and staff often refer to the school as "KSD." History The school was founded in 1861 by Phillip A. Emery, a deaf person who had taught briefly at Indiana School for the Deaf before coming to Kansas the previous year. He began educating deaf students from the attic of a small house in Baldwin City, Kansas, about 25 miles southwest of its current location. Within five years, the school received state funding and a new location in Olathe. In 1885 the thriving institution changed its name to Kansas Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb. Its emphasis, influenced by the work of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, was on integrating deaf students into society, rather than housing them apart from it. From the beginning KSD emphasized vocational training. Leather working, baking, sewing, printmaking and other trades were incorporated into the curriculum. Vocational training continues to be an integral part of the KSD experience to this day. Sports Like many schools, KSD encourages students to participate in athletics. It adopted sports very early on, The football team began in 1899, and the basketball team in 1903. Perhaps the most famous KSD alumnus is Dummy Taylor who pitched for the New York Giants from 1900 to 1908. In addition to football and baseball, the school has also had active wrestling, track, basketball, cheerleading and volleyball programs. Athletic teams play both area public schools and other state deaf schools from the region. KSD boys won the 1978 National Deaf Football Championship and 1978 National Deaf Basketball Championship. The KSD girls won the 1978 National Deaf Volleyball Championship. Campus The school has dormitories for students who live far from the campus. The Stanley D. Roth east and west wings house dormitories. References External links Kansas State School For the Deaf Celebrating Kansas' Deaf Heritage Kansas School for the Deaf photograph collection

Kansas State School for the Blind

Kansas State School for the Blind (KSSB) is a fully accredited public high school located in Kansas City, Kansas, U.S., serving students in grades Pre-K through 12. The school was established in 1867. It is located on 10 acres (40,000 m2) located in downtown Kansas City, Kansas. It opened in May, 1868 and admitted the first five students. History The land the KSSB sits on was donated to the city of Wyandotte upon the death of a Native American man, William Johnson. When the town was platted in 1856, the 10 acres (40,000 m2) of land was designated for a park. In 1863, the city leased the land to the state of Kansas provided it would be used as a "blind asylum". In 1867, the legislature set aside $10,000 for the construction of the first building which was completed in October of that year. In March 1868, another $10,500 was set aside until a total of 10 children (aged 10–21) were enrolled. Local newspapers advertised the school under the name "Asylum for the Blind" and 11 students had applied by April 23, 1868. The exact date of the school's opening date is unknown, but it most likely opened in May 1868. Other historical accounts cite the school opening in October 1867 (when the first building was completed) or September 1868. Governor Samuel J. Crawford appointed a Board of Trustees for the asylum and hired W. H. Sawyer as the superintendent. The Board of Trustees controlled the school until 1876 when the Board of Trustees of State Charitable Institutions took over. In 1877, the name of the school was changed to the "Kansas Institution for the Education of the Blind". Despite this name, the school was not recognized as a true educational institution, rather it was operated as a charitable organization. Between 1905 and 1913, the school was run by the Board of Trustees of State Charities and Corrections. In 1913, the school was renamed the Kansas School for the Blind and was recognized as an educational institution. It was moved to the control of the Board of Administration alongside state colleges. In 1939, the School for the Blind and the School for the Deaf were placed under the Board of Regents. In 1969, the school's name was changed to the "Kansas State School for the Visually Handicapped" to be more inclusive as many of the students were not fully blind. In the 1971–72 school year, the school was placed under the Kansas State Board of Education, which currently administers the school. In the 1991–92 school year, the school's name changed to its current title, Kansas State School for the Blind. Campus Its dormitory is the Edlund Residence Hall.

Dodge City

Dodge City er en by i delstaten Kansas og hovedsæde for Ford County i Kansas. Byen ligger noget sydvestligt i staten, ved Arkansas-floden. Ifølge folketalsberegningen for 2004 har byen 25 762 indbyggere. Byen er kendt som et eksempel på en by fra Det Vilde Vesten, og western-serien Gunsmoke var baseret på Dodge City. De første europæere i området var Francisco Vásquez de Coronado og hans følge. Området lå ved et naturligt vadested for krydsning af Arkansas-floden. Dele af området, som nu er Dodge City, blev en del af USA ved Louisiana-købet i 1803. Områderne syd for floden forblev spanske og overgik efterhånden til at blive både mexikanske og texanske. En vigtig handelsrute, Santa Fe Trail, gik gennem området. For at beskytte ruten blev Fort Dodge etableret i 1865, omtrent 8 km øst for det nuværende Dodge City. Fæstningen er opkaldt efter generalen Grenville M. Dodge. Den blev nedlagt i 1882. Da jernbanen kom i 1872, blev byen Dodge City grundlagt og voksede hurtigt på grund af transportforbindelsen og bisonjagten. Desværre manglede byen et effektivt politi, og dette medførte meget skydning og lovløshed. Efterhånden blev der etableret en vis orden, da der kom politifolk som Wyatt Earp og Doc Holliday, og strenge regler for brug af skydevåben blev indført. Byen er i dag et handelscentrum. Jordbrug er det vigtigste erhverv med tamkvægsproduktion som en vigtig del. Byen betjenes af jernbaner, har regional flyplads og ligger ved sammenfletningen af tre motorveje.

Dodge City (Kansas)

Dodge City település az Amerikai Egyesült Államok Kansas államában, Ford megyében, melynek megyeszékhelye is. Lakosainak száma 27 788 fő (2020. április 1.). Története Az első település azon a területen, amelyből Dodge City lett, a civilek által 1847-ben épített Fort Mann volt. Abban az időben a terület Mexikóhoz tartozott, és az erődöt azért építették, hogy védelmet nyújtson a Santa Fe Trailen utazóknak. Fort Mann 1848-ban omlott össze, miután a bennszülöttek megtámadták. 1850-ben megérkezett az amerikai hadsereg, hogy védelmet biztosítson a térségben, és a régi Fort Mann helyén felépítette az Atkinson erődöt. A hadsereg 1853-ban elhagyta Fort Atkinsont. A Santa Fe Trail katonai erőit 1859-ben északabbra és keletre, Fort Larnedben telepítették vissza, de a terület a későbbi Dodge City környékén a polgárháború végéig üresen maradt. 1865 áprilisában az amerikai határháborúk nyugaton kezdtek elfajulni, és a hadsereg felépítette Fort Dodge-ot, hogy segítse Fort Larned-et a Santa Fe Trail védelmének biztosításában. Fort Dodge 1882-ig működött. 1882-ben Fort Dodge a városba költözött. Dodge City városa 1871-re vezethető vissza, amikor Henry J. Sitler farmer egy gyepmesteri házat épített Fort Dodge-tól nyugatra, hogy felügyelje szarvasmarha-üzemeit a térségben, amely a Santa Fe Trail és az Arkansas folyó közelében feküdt, és Sitler háza hamarosan az utazók megállóhelyévé vált. Mások a keletről gyorsan közeledő Santa Fe Railway miatt látták meg a térségben rejlő kereskedelmi lehetőségeket. 1872-ben Dodge Cityt a 100. hosszúsági körön és a Fort Dodge rezervátum törvényes nyugati határán jelölték ki. A város területét felparcellázták, és George M. Hoover egy sátorban létrehozta az első kocsmát, hogy kiszolgálja a Fort Dodge-ból érkező szomjas katonákat. A vasút szeptemberben érkezett, és a város készen állt az üzletre. A korai telepesek Dodge Cityben bölénycsontokkal és -bőrökkel kereskedtek, és civil közösséget biztosítottak Fort Dodge számára. A vasút megérkezésével Dodge City hamarosan bekapcsolódott a marhakereskedelembe. A Texasi hosszúszarvú marhák Texasból a kansasi vasútállomásokra való hajtásának ötlete az 1850-es évek végén született, de a polgárháború miatt félbeszakadt. Az első texasi szarvasmarhák 1866-ban kezdtek el érkezni a Kansas délkeleti részén fekvő Baxter Springsbe a Shawnee Trail útján. Közlekedés A települést érinti az Amtrak egyik távolsági vasúti járata is, a Southwest Chief. Népesség A település népességének változása: Jegyzetek További információk Hivatalos oldal (angol)

Dodge City (Kansas)

Dodge City is een plaats (city) in de Amerikaanse staat Kansas, en valt bestuurlijk gezien onder Ford County. In de tijd van het Wilde Westen was het een roemruchte plek; zo waren de legendarische Wyatt Earp en Bat Masterson er enige tijd hulpsherriff. Ook Doc Holliday verbleef een tijd in de stad. Om deze reden trekt de plaats veel toeristen. Geschiedenis In 1865 werd Fort Dodge gebouwd, om handelaren langs het Santa Fe Trail te beschermen omdat er nieuwe oorlogen met de Indianen dreigden. Dit fort werd vernoemd naar generaal Grenville M. Dodge. De geschiedenis van de stad begon een paar jaar later in 1871 toen de eerste bewoner een plaggenhut bouwde op enkele kilometers ten westen van Fort Dodge. Dit was een strategische plek, langs de rivier de Arkansas en deze plek zou ook een station op de Santa Fe Railway worden. In 1872 werd de plek officieel een stad en de eerste bar werd geopend in een tent. Er kwam al gauw handel in bizonhuiden en toen nog in hetzelfde jaar het station werd geopend kreeg de stad een rol in de veehandel. De rol werd versterkt doordat de regering van de staat Kansas quarantainelijnen trok waar vee niet overheen vervoerd mocht worden en Dodge City opeens midden op een route voor vee uit Texas kwam te liggen. Rond 1883-1884 beleefde de stad haar piek in de veehandel. Dit was ook de tijd dat de stad het meest berucht was. Beruchte locaties waren onder andere de Long Branch Saloon en de China Doll brothel. In 1884 werd er zelfs aan stierenvechten gedaan. Omdat de Long Branch Saloon de plek was waar de nodige schietpartijen hadden plaatsgevonden, werd in 1883 een poging gedaan om deze en andere gokgelegenheden te sluiten. Deze poging ging de geschiedenis in als de geweldloze Dodge City War. Het sluiten van de saloon lukte echter niet maar kreeg veel bekendheid door de epische foto van gunslingers die na afloop werd gemaakt. In 1885 nam de staat wederom maatregelen tegen de verspreiding van ziektes en werden nieuwe quarantainegrenzen getrokken waardoor de stad opeens niet meer interessant was. In een jaar tijd werd het een slaperig stadje doordat alle veehandelaren, gokkers, prostituees en dieven westelijker waren getrokken. Demografie Bij de volkstelling in 2000 werd het aantal inwoners vastgesteld op 25.176. In 2006 is het aantal inwoners door het United States Census Bureau geschat op 26.101, een stijging van 925 (3.7%). Geografie Volgens het United States Census Bureau beslaat de plaats een oppervlakte van 33,0 km², waarvan 32,7 km² land en 0,3 km² water. Dodge City ligt op ongeveer 760 m boven zeeniveau.
