Wm hm m: , Too many Children! Expansion needed children held classes in a saloon located on since . . . Huron Founded in 1880 It is amazing to contemplate the growth that has taken place in our Huron Public Schools since Huron was founded in 1880. Some of the changes were rapid and dramatic; others took place so gradually that they received little notice. The first train arrived in Huron at 12:30 pm. on June 25, 1880. Three months later the first school opened with 15 pupils and their teacher Watson weed was teacher the first term and Arthur Blunt taught the second half. The building no longer exists, Kansas and First Street. Farming-out of classes continued as needed during the ear- ly years with classes held in the congrega- tional Church, a bank on the southeast cor- ner of Dakota and Fourth Street, and in other locations. Need for expansion in the Huron schools was expressed in a report in 1881. Too many children! That's what the school folks are beginning, already, to say about Huron. No western cuty can stand that. We must have house room and school room for all that can be imported or raised. No young family should be discouraged through lack of school facilities. Let us all begin to think Of this matter.

Because of its unique architecture, it was often referred to as the castle. The bullding was later replaced by the cur- rent Jefferson School. The south side hi the school house is be- ing marred by the janitor throwing ashes out of the second story: window. Why don't he carry 'em into the belil'y and throw them out? They'd go a good deal Further.
