llHfA~A MW III idea of the mighty
,lWHlT~ ~ strides made by the
NIB WIZ District in the cause
IN of popular education
" A from the beginning
" of our school sys-
tenn. To those who
have learned from
accounts of the old days and through the
traditions of the old Washington families
how meager and crude were the school
accommodations and facilities for obtain
ing ever a mere shadow of an education,
the development of our school system, with
it's majestic buildings, furnished with every
facility to aid teacher and pupil, ana
courses of study leading from the first
letters to the colleges the transition is
simply wonderful-can scarcely be realized.
When the seat of government had been
located here, the government officers and
employees found that the erection of the
pubic buildings had brought here quite
number of workingmen and laborers, and
some of these had large families depending
or their support There were some pri-
vate schools which were attended by the
children of the more fortunate, but at that
day even the children of the rich were not
partial to the schools. and the poor mans
child was left out in the cold, so far as
schooling was concerned. Many were
growing up in idienesS, and it was foreSeen
that Satan flnds some mischief still
for idle hands to do to prevent the
rising generation becoming a menace to
the community and to insure the future
good order, morals and citizenship some
thing had to be done Education was rec
ogniZed the most feasible means, and
various projects were discussed by the citi-
Zens during the first few years of the CEN
tury, and when the population numbered
less than five thousand the first step was
taken toward public education.
The authorities were, however, without
mears to furnish accommodations en-
ploy teachers; nevertheless the boys must
be kept out of the streets and the poor
boy CT girl should have at least an op-
pcrtunity to better his condition.
The First Appropriation.
The councils, therefore, in December,
1904. laid the corner stone of the public
school system, by passing an act appro-
priating $1,000 to enable the trustees to
provide for the education of children in the
private schools. whose parents were un-
able to pay tuition. The two great
divisions of the city, at that period, were
east and west of "Tyber," although by
law there We're three wards, the third be-
ing the least of Tyber'' section. then re-
garded the principal and most populous
section. Consequently when the next move
was made the projection of a free school,
it was erected in 1903, 'east of Tyber,"
which then included quite settlement
about the navy yard, between that point
northeast corner of Sd and D streets south
east.

= The cost to the corporation of the two
Schools. when this one was established was
about s1,f00 per annum but this was supple
mented by contributions from churches and
individuals TO greater or lesser extent.
The two schools were conducted, from 1920
TO 1914. upon the Lancasterian system in
great degree. by Mr.. Mccormick and
Mr.. Henry ould, who was succeeded by
Mr.. Joshua l.. Henshaw about 1910 In
1874 these schools formed the nucleus of
the four district system. then established.
In 1924 the old stable building first used by
President jefferson was transferred by
President Monroe for school purposes, and
500 was appropriated to put 1t in order.
This building stood where Smalls flower
store now stands. The old structure was
for years used as carpenter shop by Not
ley Anderson. This stable was used under
the names of Western Lancasterian' and
First District School" for about forty
years.
School In n Stable.
Originally built for use a stable. there
was no provision made for heating; and for
many years huge sheet-iron pipe did the
duty of the chimney, running through the
peak of the roof In the center of the build
ing. Subsequently brick flue was placed
In the eastern end of the building and a
frame ventilation erected over the pipe
hole.
The courcils of 1926 appropriated $4,000
for investment in the per cent stock OF
the corporation, and a few years thereafter
the unexpended balances of the annual
school appropriations were directed to be
added
