By the end of fifteen years, the results of a special election showed that the public schools were firmly established in the hearts of the people. In 1899, the students began to outgrow the schools. The solution was to move the pri- mary grades out of the original Glen Street building and fill it with high school and eighth grade classes, and to lease a building on Union Street as an annex to the Glen Street Building. The Board of Education faced the problem of building a new school. December 9, 1902, fire destroyed the Glen Street building. For the next four years, stu- dents had to attend school in the Village Hall. By a vote of 3V3 to 1 the citizens decided to raise S100,000 which together with the in- surance provided a 3111000 high school. By 1906 the new high school was opened for instruction. It is now in use as part of the junior High School. An illustrious visitor to the high school in 1906 remarked, It has been my experience that the school building of a city will tell a great deal about the character of the place and I felt after I had been through your beautiful building that the city which could erect so admirable a high school must be a very desirable place of residence. Our new high school was built at a cost of 32,500,000, and this same thought was ex- pressed many times four years ago by other illustrious visitors who came to inspect the new high school. From the formation of the district seventy- five years ago until today, every phase of school work has improved. The school buildings in Glens Falls compare favorably with other cities, the textbooks and other teaching aids are up to dateg the courses of study are constantly being changed for the better. In 1881 there was not a Normal School or College graduate on the faculty-in fact there was only one teacher who had a license to teach for more than one year, and several for only three months. Present day certification by the state requires college gradu- ation for elementary schools and a Master's de- gree for junior and senior high schools for teachers' licenses. The main improvement, however, is in the sentiment toward good public education. It is a matter of common knowledge throughout the state that Glens Falls people want first-class schools for their children and are consistently ready to support them. More of the detailed history of the growth and progress of education in Glens Falls is told on the division pages of the Red and Black, and subject by subject, in the classroom section.
