HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF PERRY


ously impressive, whether celebrating "The Ride of the Noble Six Hundred" or a Cataline hurling his "defi" at the Roman Senate. Doane Davis made Sheridan's Ride thrillingly real to boyish ears. Albert Brigham, grave and self-possessed in his prose selections, gave a hint of the substantial qualities that afterward gave eminence to his scholarship. Newton Wyckoff won rhe- torical laurels on at least one occasion, when he received first prize at a public exhibition for the best declamation, and it is sad that such fame should have been diminished by the subse- quent throwing of pebbles into the Principal's rain water tub. ยท Charles King essayed to speak "The Indian Chief's Lament," and only got as far as the line


"I will go to my tent and lie down in despair"


when his memory failed him completely and he was obliged to follow the action of the chief and lament his own failure.


Principals who followed Miss Calligan were: Irving P. Bishop, 1878 to 1885; Jesse P. Worden, 1885 to 1888; Mary E. Catton, 1888 to 1897; Wm. H. Adams, 1897 to 1899; Herbert C. Jeffers, 1899 to 1902; M. J. Multer, 1902 to 1905; Clarence A. Fetterley, 1905 to 1906; Wm. H. McClelland, 1906.


The steady and rapid growth of the town naturally had its effect upon the public school. Within the eight years from 1894 to 1902 the village alone had more than doubled its popula- tion-from 1526 to 3346-and while the High School depart- ment was not seriously handicapped, the various grades became. overcrowded, necessitating frequent alterations in the building to provide the required accommodations. These alterations for the enlargement of the rooms changed the original plan of the building and unavoidably weakened its supports.


The State Department of Education became insistent that greater facilities be provided, as the law was being violated by failure to furnish the required amount of floor space and air

space for the number of pupils in attendance. The Board of Education, composed of C. G. Clarke, president; G. M. Traber, J. N. Wyckoff, C. W. Rudd, Mrs. W. H. Herron, Mrs. J. W. Olin and Mrs. G. H. Peddle, trustees, had deferred action as long as possible, until in January, 1905, they were obliged by the crowded condition of the institution to make an extended state- ment in detail, showing the imperative necessity of providing additional school facilities, a problem that had vexed them for about three years and which they had met as far as possible by alterations as above referred to.

NEW PERRY HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING


People who had been students in the institution 20 to 25 years previous to this time could not understand or appreciate the necessity confronting the Board, the building at that period being partly occupied by living rooms and having ample accom-


126

medations. They could not realize the changed conditions, and it was natural that many believed the Board's statements to be exaggerated. In consequence, strong opposition developed and even bitterness of feeling was engendered. They proposed to meet the condition by renting rooms outside, and various other expedients were suggested, all of which had already been care- fully considered and found unsatisfactory by the Board. The most inexpensive proposition the Board was able to submit was a new High School building and necessary repairs and im- provements upon the existing building to properly care for the grade pupils.


On January 31st, 1905, a special school meeting was held at the school building to discuss the proposition for the expendi- ture of $33,000, as above outlined. There were about 500 people in attendance and the State was represented by W. C. Halliday of the Department of Education. Architect F. W. Kirkland of Rome, N. Y., who had been selected by the Board, was also pres- ent to answer questions and give information. W. D. Page was chairman of the meeting, and remarks were made by a number of people. After considerable discussion the meeting was ad- journed to Saturday, February 4th,, at the Town Hall, to vote upon the proposition, the polls to be open from 1 to 6 o'clock. At the time set, the plans for the proposed new building were on exhibition. There were 419 votes cast, of which 318 were in the negative and 101 in the affirmative, the majority against the proposition being 217. Of the number who voted, 119 were women.


Following the defeat of the proposition, Mr. D. H. Buck- land in conversation with Trustee J. N. Wyckoff stated that the only feasible proposition was an entirely new building that would accommodate all of the pupils and also provide for future growth. Mr. Wyckoff suggested that Mr. Buckland circulate a petition and learn how many of the taxpayers held the same


127

view. Mr. Buchland accepted the suggestion and soon secured 99 signatures, representing business and professional people as weil as other taxpayers.


Although there was no knowledge of it at the time, the view of Mr. Buckland appears to have been the same as that of IIon. Frank H. Wood, Chief of the Inspections Division of the State Department of Education, who wrote to the Board, under (late of February 28th, 1905, and in his letter said that he had received reports from his inspectors stating that the building was unfit for the needs of the district, and he instructed the Board to call a special meeting on March 28th, to vote upon a proposition "to expend a sufficient sum of money to construct a new school building adequate in size for the accommodation of all of the children of school age residing in the district ...... to meet the present needs and to provide also for reasonable growth for years to come."


In accordance with the requirement of Chief Wood, a call was published for a special school meeting to be held at The Auditorium on March 28th, 1905, at 7:30 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of voting upon a proposition to expend $50,000 for a new building. There was a small attendance at the meeting, of which Dr. P. S. Goodwin was chosen chairman. Mr. A. E. Hall of the Inspections Division of the State Department of Educa- tion was present to answer questions. Much antagonism was manifested, and after considerable discussion a motion was carried to adjourn to Saturday, April 1st, at the Town Hall, the polls to be open from 1 to 6 o'clock p. m.


Notwithstanding the fact that a circular letter signed by 30 of the business people of Perry, giving the qualifications of voters and urging them to turn out and vote in favor of the proposition, there were only 368 votes cast, 51 less than the number upon the first proposition submitted. There were 192


128


HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF PERRY


negative votes and 176 affirmative, a majority of 16 against the proposition.


By direction of A. E. Hall of the Inspections Division, an- other special meeting was called for May 12th, 1905, at The Auditorium, at 7:30 p. m., to vote again upon the proposition to expend $50,000 for a new building, and the matter was ex- plained in detail in the Perry Record, giving complete particu- lars of what had been done, what was demanded by the State Department and what must be done. In spite of all this, the op- position was persistent and bitter, and less than 200 people-a majority of them opponents-gathered at the meeting on May 12th. Hon. B. A. Nevins was chairman and introduced Mr. A. E. Hall, by whose authority the meeting had been called. Mr. Hall reviewed the requirements of the State Department and advised favorable action in the matter, concluding by saying that if it were otherwise he should recommend that the building be con- demned. The hostile feeling manifested itself when a motion was made to adjourn to the second Tuesday after the annual meeting in August. An amendment was offered to adjourn to Saturday, May 13th, at the Town Hall, from 1 to 5 o'clock. When the questions were put the responses in each instance were so loud that it was impossible to decide which had carried. In order to be certain, the audience was requested to remain and vote again by rising. Three tellers were appointed-one for each section of the house-and the original motion to ad- journ until the second Tuesday after the annual meeting in August was carried by a vote of 99 to 65.


Politics had been injected into the fight, considerable of the opposition being directed against the president of the Board by those who were antagonistic toward him personally, and by some the proposed building was sneeringly referred to as "Clarke's monument," the other members of the Board coming in for a share of the unjust criticism for simply endeavoring


129


EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS


to fulfill their responsibilities to the district and meet the re- quirements of the State Department.


In keeping up a fight, the opposition were merely adding to the expense, figuratively "cutting off their nose to spite their face, " for the reason that if the people refused to provide the proper facilities the State money would be with-held, the building would be condemned and a new one would therefore be compulsory.


About 125 people attended the annual meeting held on August 1st, 1905, at which time Will W. Grieve was chosen chairman. The trustees' report showed that they had held 22 regular and special meetings and six informal meetings dur- ing the school year. In view of the criticism of the Board, among which was one that they had employed a "boy archi- tect" in the person of Mr. Kirkland, a motion was made by Trustee G. M. Traber that a committee of five, composed of per- sons outside of the Board of Education, be appointed and em- powered to engage a competent engineer or architect to make a thorough inspection of the school building and report whether it could be made to comply with the State law, and whether it would be advisable to try to enlarge the building ; the report to be submitted before August 15th and the expense to be borne by the district. The motion was carried and the following named were nominated and elected as such committee: M. H. Olin, C. A. Carmichael, C. H. Toan, Charles Wise and J. E. Cole.


Nominations of nine different persons were made for the office of trustee to succeed Mr. C. G. Clarke and Mrs. W. H. Herron, who were also nominated to succeed themselves. Mr. Clarke declined a renomination. At the annual election on the following day, Charles Wise and George A. White were chosen as trustees, 386 votes being cast.

The committee elected to engage an architect to inspect the old building and make a report took no one into their con- fidence. They chose J. Foster Warner of Rochester, the archi- tect of the Powers Hotel in that city and of many of the city's school buildings. He was a man of extended experience and one whose ability was widely known. Under date of August 7th, 1905, Mr. Warner made his report, from which the follow- ing excerpts are taken :


"I find the building in a very bad condition as regards the construction. The outside walls are badly bulged and cracked, and have been anchored together with tie rods; also, where the interior walls have been taken out, the supports at present are inadequate. As to whether the building could be made to com- ply with the State law, I should say that the expense of so do- ing would be entirely unwarranted, as it would amount al- most to the entire reconstruction of the building; and I should advise against the enlarging of the same, as the pres- ent structure is not of sufficient value to warrant the ex- penditure of the amount of money necessary to provide the additional school facilities. If sufficient money was expended on the structure to bring it up to the requirements of the law, it would then accommodate a much smaller number of pupils than the present structure provides for. I enclose a copy of the instructions to school officers, which is sent out from the Commissioner of Education at Albany. You will observe that with the requirements necessary it will be practically impos- sible to alter the building to comply with the present law."


The special committee published the report and notified the public of a special meeting on August 14th, at 7:30 p. m., at the school building, at which time Mr. Warner was present in per- son to make his report and answer fully any questions that might be asked. C. H. Toan called the meeting to order, about 100 people being present. W. P. Andrus was chosen chairman and Mr. Warner was introduced. He answered numerous ques- tions and the subject was thoroughly discussed for about two hours, Mr. Warner's statements substantiating fully those that


131


EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS


had been made by the Board of Education and proving the merit of their contention, the result of over a year of careful study of the matter.


On August 15th the question of expending $50,000 for a new building was again submitted and carriages were used by those for and against it in getting out the vote. There were 483 ballots cast, of which 269 were in the affirmative and 214 in the negative, a majority of 55 in favor of the proposition. Some of the opposition were hard losers, claiming that illegal votes had been cast, but the only illegal voter discovered was a man who had made the loudest complaint and who had been one of the most active opponents.


Architect Warner highly commended the plans that had been prepared by Architect Kirkland. Eleven bids were re- ceived for the work, and early in May, 1906, the contract for construction was let to the Mt. Morris Lumber Co., of Mt. Mor- ris, N. Y., at their bid of $44,130.28, exclusive of heating and plumbing.


The corner-stone was laid on August 31st, 1906, the cere- monies opening with a selection by the Casino Orchestra and prayer by Rev. C. H. Dibble of Perry. Addresses were made by John B. Smallwood of Warsaw and M. A. Lovejoy, Esq., of Perry, former pupils of Perry Academy. Mr. Lovejoy gave a brief historical sketch and he was followed by Rev. Mr. Dibble, who made congratulatory remarks. The new principal, Prof. W. H. McClelland, was then introduced, and among other things he said : "I have come to Perry with heart and soul in my work. Whatever is of interest to Perry is of interest to me. I am a servant of the best interests of the people and village . . I want to commend you for this great undertaking of erect- .


ing this splendid monument to the educational interests of this community. Too much praise cannot be given to the members.


132

of the Board of Education who have so willingly given their time and thought to plan for the interest of this and future generations. We shall be proud of the magnificent new build- ing. its commodious rooms, spacious halls, heating and ventil- ating systems, its large and well-equipped laboratories. These things, with an efficient corps of teachers and the harmonious working of teachers, parents and the Board of Education, will insure us a school system second to none in the State."


Notwithstanding it was thought that the new building would be large enough for present and future needs, four years after its completion it was found necessary to finish off four rooms in the attic on the third floor, and other enlarged facili- ties were also made in the basement of the building. The words of Prof. McClelland were prophetic, as the present position of the institution testifies.


The new building was erected in front of the old one, per- mitting the use of the old structure until the new one was com- pleted, thus avoiding interruption of the school work and sav- ing the expense of using outside quarters. It was with mis- givings that the Board of Education decided to erect the new school in front of the old one and thus shorten the beautiful, long approach, with its attractive grove on the north and its spacious lawn on the south, to which they were endeared by sen- timent, but utility and economy were practical considerations that they could not afford to ignore.


With the community spirit that is characteristic, when the new edifice began to take shape and its beauty and complete- ness began to be realized, the bitterness and antagonism disap- peared and loyalty to Perry and its institutions again became manifest, and the wisdom of those who fought for the project was admitted, even by their opponents. The school today has the united support of citizens and stands as a monument of Perry's enterprise and progressiveness.
