WIL.LMANTIC
THE wlNDHAM SCHOOL BURNED
(continued from Page one.)

In the year 1873 MT. WeIch found that there were two pupils 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 itself in favor of the separation of tho grammar and high departments, and school. Good work was being done, but still better would be possible if the separation should take place. Good educational advantages would draw to WilEmantic pupils from other towns and would attract those contemplating residence within the town Tn this view said the committee, Tt seems a fair subject of discussion whether the time has not arrived when the es- tabitshment of high school, free for the whole town, should be seriously considered
 Evidently this had little effect upon the public, for two years later the committee declared in its report that 1t was time there was a high school which was free to the whole town. The existing system made 1t necessary that those who lived in district pay taxes towards the general support of the schools and also tuition if their children attended the high depart ment of district 2. This condition was manifestly unfair and ought to be remedied. The suggestion was made
 
 made a town high school.
 Nc action followed this suggestion, and in 1889 out of self-defense the taxpayers of the first established a de- partment similar to that in the sec ond diSprict. and offering the same ad- vantages.
 It was Tot long before the voters be- gan to realize that two high schools were unnecessary expense. The committees report of that year shows the absurdity of it by saying the town of Windham needed a high school. but did not need two. The existing con ditions entailed an unnecessary eX- pense, and better work could be done if all interests were in one principals hands.
 For some time tine question was dis [ussed. until in the town meeting the plan ~s consolidation was suggesta1 by E. l.. Tryon. a meICbe; of tine school cCmrliItee. The committee iyavs seV- eral rvas sons for consolidation, arnung them beiEc the facts that there were enough upilc and only enough for one high school, that c high school would inspire pupils to enter it. that lIgt school would attract people to Wiiii- mantle. They also sa id that simply

In order to get the best results the
diet must be selected SO rs to contain
