WASHINGTON SCHOOL BUILDING
house was ever built on this site.
When the railroad came to Canon it
WAS thought that this was an insult
able place So the lots were sold TO the
railroad
In 1880 largely through the efforts of
Messrs. r. a. Reynolds and Ernest Sell,
chiefly SIR. Sell we are told, money was
raised for the purchase OF the block
now occupied by the Washington
school building. ON this site soon
after its purchase four room stone
building was erected which is at prs
ent a part OF the Washington building
At that time the school board con-
sisted of Judge Waldo. Mrs NJ NJ
Sheetz and John Wilson, and they. who
are still here, and respected citizens of
the community, should receive much
of the credit for the excellent start
that WAS given our public school sys-

The history OF our graded school be-
gan In the fall OF 1850. That year MIR.

his teachers were Mrs. Megrue aud

The few brief years since the settle

The Laboratory.-The High school
laboratory is one of which we may
justly feel proud 1t is well and
thoroughly equipped. The board of
education realizing the inn ertance of
individual work has from time to time
made liberal appropriations until at
present the science apparatus is worth
about $1,000. A gentleman who dur

cal machine, dynamo, batteries and
galvanometers and complete apparatus
for illustrating heat and mechanics of
solids. The work in chemistry has
been well provided for. There are four
sets of balances, a large supply of glass
and rubber tubing, graduates, TASKS,
etc.-in fact every thing which is need
ed in a frst-elass laboratory. There
are two of the celebrated daugler
lamps for individual use The labora-
tory contains hydrant and is furnish
ed with hood to enable the pupils to
make poisonous gasses without danger
to the organs of respiration. Desks
are arranged for individual laboratory
work in chemistry and biology. The
scientific course embraces one full
years work in physics, one full years
work in chemistry and half a year
each in biology and botany. A pupil,
according to the old plan of studying a
science lesson from text book and re-
citing to the teacher, learned very little
science He learned only few facts
about it, By the individual laboratory
method under the guidance of teacher
the pupil learns by doing, he thinks for
himself, he investigates, he notes re-
suits, he deduces principles, he acquires
power
The Library--The library is well Sc

volumes. Part of these are in the High
School room and part are in the other
grades. A large number of the books

awarded for various merits, such as
ability in original composition, best
scholarship, or best attendance and de-

The RECORD has remarked before

proud of her public schools and school

that statement again and accompany II
with some evidence in the way OF n
write-up of our present school facili-
ties. High school. teachers aud school

historical matter which it is hoped will
prove of interest to many. The REC

are OF such an excellent character that
their praises should be sounded loud

us not keep II to ourselves alone bat
rather send forth the good news To

here to educate their children.
IN THE BEoINNIxo.
In the beginning Canon had no
schools but that was only when the
first settler had arrived. As soon as
the second settler and more came their
first thoughts were of the education OF
their children. The first school taught
in Canon was made up about the win
ter of 30. Ii was held in little log
cabin whicn ood where the present
hose house stands. That school was
taught by Miss George who is now
Mrs. sears, of Denver. Later the
school was held In a log hoase on Main
street about where the Handy 4 Mctiee
block now stands. and then for some
time in the hnll over w H. McClnre's
store which is now occupied by smiths
