DALTON UNION SCHOOL-ITS TEACHERS AND GRADUATES- HISTORICAL SKETCH
It is a little unusual for a town with only a few thousand inhabitants to have two schools of such marked importance as the Nunda High School and the Dalton Union School, less than three miles apart, both forming strong supporters of the Nunda training class, whose graduates are eagerly sought as teachers for our public schools.
374
The principal teachers of the Dalton Union School have been mostly grad- uates from our State Normal Schools, and have proved earnest and efficient instructors and well equiped for their noble but arduous calling. The day is fast approaching when classical and scientific graduates of our State Normal Schools will all have their rightful degree of bachelor of pedagogy. for surely their course of study is equal to that of any of the other professional schools. If it is not so already it will become so. The best people are required for the best work, and no work is of greater significance than shaping the thoughts, aims and lives of the youth of our land.
The principals of the Dalton Union School have been :
1. William G. Welker. from the Buffalo Normal School ; 2, Edw. M. Peck- ham ; 3, Charles C. McCall, who afterward became School Commissioner of the 2nd District of Wyoming County : 4. H. P. Marvin, G. N. S. ; 5, John P. Magee. G. N. S .: 6. Rhyland Ethelwyn Salusbury, Pittsfield Classical Institute, sup- plemented by further studies at Harvard.
The following lady teachers have each served as preceptress :
Miss Chloe Hawkins, of Gowanda, Buffalo Normal School; Miss Mary F. Byington, Geneseo Normal School : Miss Frances L. Blansett, Shortsville High School and Geneseo Normal School: Miss Mary Crane, Geneseo Normal School; Miss Nellie D. Brewer, of Nunda, Geneseo Normal School.
