First Central Rural School in Lewis County Organized at West Leyden .. -By A. Winfield Trainor .- The first school in the West Leyden com- munity was kept in the house of Joel Jenks about 1799. As the town of Lewis was settled separate rural schools were formed until there were ten such districts organized, each with its separate trustee, the one in West Leyden village being a two-teacher school until July, 1926, when the new plan of centralization was adopted. The old plan of separate districts failed in that it made no provision for modern high school oppor- tunities and failed to bring any additional financial aid from the State.
In 1925 the Legislature amended the Education Law to provide for the establishment of Central Rural Schools with increased financial aid, mod- ern courses of study, and transportation of rural children to the central school. Under the leadership of Superintendent A. Winfield Trainor, the people of the Town of Lewis voted July 17, 1926, to adopt the new plan and form a Central Rural School District by centralizing the ten separate districts into one large district with a Board of Education of five.
This was the first Central Rural School to be formed in Lewis County, and one of the first few formed in the State. Under date of December 6, 1927, the State Commissioner of Education, Dr. Frank P. Graves, wrote
1490
HISTORY OF THE NORTH COUNTRY
to Superintendent Trainor in part as follows: "The creation of these cen- tralized districts is, I think, the most important movement we have at present and yours is the very best illustration of all that may be accom- plished. I do not believe there is another instance in this State or in any other state where ten rural districts have come together in this way to produce the opportunity of a high school for rural boys and girls."
On June 27, 1927, it was voted to erect a new Central School Building at West Leyden affording modern high school opportunity for the entire district. The new building was dedicated Monday evening, June 4th, 1928, by State Commissioner Frank P. Graves. It is a beautiful building of red tapestry brick with white pilasters, cornish, keystones, etc., the style being Colonial of the Georgian type. Transportation is furnished by school- owned buses from the outside districts, some of which are over nine miles distant, to the central school where the pupils have a modern program of activities, exploratory subjects, and guidance, including college prepara- tory courses, commercial courses, home economics, manual training, shop work, music and orchestra. In his address the State Commissioner said in part: "No educational movement in the State is more significant than this which is destined to afford the rural boy and girl equal opportunities with their city brother and sister. The country boy has in the past gen- erally proved to be the backbone of the Nation It is time that the country boy came into his birthright of a sound education and was given an equal start in life with the boy from the city." Dr. Graves com- mended Superintendent Trainor, the committee and the School Board for their leadership in providing this opportunity at West Leyden. The offi- cers of the new district are as follows: Board of Education, president, John P. Beyel, Jr., Henry Schoff, William Wilbert, Walter Miller, Edward Parsons ; clerk, William Beha; treasurer, Bessie J. Trainor; collector, John Beha; principal, Kenneth R. Stephenson; district superintendent, A. Win- field Trainor.
