THE NATcHAue SCHOOL.
What It Has Accomplished Since the Period Since It Was Opened in 1865 Principal J. L. Harroun CompIet- ing His Twentieth Year.

The destruction of the windham High school by fire, Sunday morning. and the passing of the Natchaug school at an early date have directed attention to the evolution of the Natchaug district.
 The Natchaug school building was opened in the spring of 1865 Before this there was no graded school in town. Three teachers including a principal were employed but their rooms were essentially three distinct district schools. The old stone school house, the predecessor of the Nat chaug school building, stood near where No will stand. It was two StorleS hlSn, 4UXoO. and had three rooms There were 175 to 200 pupils.
 The Linen company wished the land where the stone schoolhouse stood It was decided to sell it to them and to

build a new one. The present sit was selected after many meetings ant it was voted to borrow $14.000 tt
 which later was added $5,500. Int
 new building was completed early 1T the year 1865. The old bell, still il
 use, was bought in December. 1864 and weighed AT pounds. There waf l no school from July, 1864, to March 1865, while the new schoolhouse was l being built.
 i Text of the Deed
 :. It was supposed that an agreement l had been made by which a clear title
 to the land was gained but the deed
 was filled out by interested parties
 and so read that the land reverts tc | the heirs of MT. Williams from whom 1 the lot was bought, unless it be used ! for school purposes.
 With brief interruption there was 1 only one school committeeman till 1 the town system was adopted in 1898. The First Principal. The first principal was $. w. Powell. He tried to establish a complete grad ed system at once and to introduce Boston methods He was dismissed after one term. MT. David F. Corbin, father of the present tax commission CT was the next principal, ls65-1s69. He was a most able and successful principal. He introduced the studies of high school course and perfected the graded system. His salary was
 
 The school had not been named be- fore MT Corbin came and the name Natchaug was then suggested by MT. Williams and Weaver father of Superintendent Weaver of Hartford. MT. Allen Lincoln, father of MT. Allen F. Lincoln of New Haven was com mitteeman during MT. Corbin's term of service MT. Hart Fuller, Yale was principal from 1S79-1s72. He gave particular attention to the develop ment of the classical course. Thus far has been seen the transition from the district to the graded school and from graded to the high school
 Evolution to High School.
 John B. Welch, in 1872, began the development of a systematized high school and the accommodation of the lower grades to that system. He was a Wesleyan graduate, with a consider able reputation as a teacher before coming to Natchaug. He was much more strict in the discipline than the mild MT. Fuller, and his discipline made for efficiency in school work. He established the English and the clas- sical course in the high school depart ment and introduced progressive teaching into the grades. He issued 3 carefully planned course of study. In 1875 he removed the grammar grade from the high school and put it on the floor below
 First Graduation
 In 1873 the first formal class was graduated from Natchaug. George T. . Taylor and Estella Bump (AIrs. w. N. Potter), were the members of the class. In the next ten years there were 53 graduates of the high school. many 1. ,f whom went to college. 1878 200 !. grade pupils left to go to the new 1arochial school. In 1883 there were ITO pupils in Natchaug. By this time he debt had been almost wiped out.
 Mir. Welch left in 1884. He was very successful and he is held in high es- eem by his former pupils, quite a lumber of whom live in this vicinity.

2s2 PUPILS
Assemble for High School Sessions in
 Temporary Quarters Monday.

The High school fire got q, big read way because the man in charge of the pumping station has been repeatedly refused the installation of proper alarm to arouse him in the night, if necessary, to start the pumps. Dis eliminating observers credit the de- partment with doing excellent work and they were ordered not to hazard their lives by entering the burning building. Stronger hose is said by the firernen to be needed, and one of the best fire authorities in the city sug- gests not only this, but also three auto hose wagons, with hose equipment, and a chemical apparatus with three paid fremen to do the effective work of the first few minutes of a fire. that in most cases saves q catastrophe like the one of Sunday morning. The ex- perience of the High school fire also brings to the front the justice of re- imbursing firemen who suffer personal or property injuries while fighting the blaze. The opinion seems to strength en that the cause of the fire was de- feetive electric wiring Eand the miser able construction of the building,
 A special town meeting is to be call ed for next Tuesday evening, May S, when action will be taken on the erec- tion of a new high school building.

 Principal Beede For United Districts
 It was at this time that the Firs and Second District High schools were united under the name 'Windhan | High School" Frank H. Beede was
 the first principal. He remained seven years. MT. Beede was 3 l thorough instructor, fine disciplin- arian, and possessed great executive ability. He was highly thought of He is now superintendent of schools in New Haven.
 When the old Natchaug High school

 Principal Harroun's Twentieth Year.
 In 1894, MT. Walden secured J. L.. Harroun as the second principal and he will complete his twentieth year of service this coming school year.
 Principal Harroun has consistently proved himself to be an able executor and organizer, a tactful and eff fective disciplinarian, and tireless worker, with unfiagging enthusiasm in his work and interest in the progress and welfare of his pulips. Himself an excellent teacher, his rare discern ment in the choice of teachers has secured to the school at all times a teaching force of unusual effective ness, harmonious effort and splendid educational results, attesting the high standard of the traning secured under his supervision. His twenty years of service have been invaluable to Nat chaug and to the community and it is the general hope and expectation that the town may have the benefit of a long continuance of that service in the larger opportunities which the new will afford.
 Principal Harroun's fine qualities as a man make their strong impress on the formative lives of the young peo- pie with whom he is associated
