This letter of request, written by Laura Cook and signed by petitioning parents, advocates for improvements at St. Louis School in Middleburg, Virginia. The petitioners highlight severe overcrowding, with 71 students currently enrolled and more expected in the next school term. They describe unsanitary conditions, including three students sharing a single desk, and stress the urgent need for expanded facilities.

EWP 2-5A 1940 Survey highlight of 1920s-1930s in Loudoun County, Virginia
This late 1930s survey report on school consolidation and transportation in Loudoun County, Virginia, examines the closure of one- and two-room schools, the shift to larger institutions, and the financial and logistical impacts of these changes.

1936-37 February 18, 1937 Mr. John C. Walker, President Loudoun County Teacher's Association Lecsburg, Virginia My dear Mr. Walker: I have the petition asking for a supervisor of colored schools. This has not been included in the budget but it might be possible to take care of it a little later. I have included $800 (eight hundred dollars) for transportation of colored children in our school budget and hope this will work out alright. Very sincerely yours Division Superintendent OLE:ARS

Third: Preparation in commercial subjects and business methods that will ade quately prepare students for this field of work. A number of high schools offer courses in commercial subjects. The usual complaint is that when graduates of these courses go into business, they are not fully prepared and do not understand the techniques of business methods, A comprehensive high school should offer a strong course in commercial subjects that would prepare students to enter satisfactorily this field of work. Fourth: General shop work that is largely exploratory in character and serves to acqueint the pupil with the elementary processes and manipulations of these trades And industries that are outstanding and important in our daily experiences Such courses, should not aim to develop vocational or trade training, but should endeavor to give the students a wide field of experience and acquaintance with scientific and technological developments in the fields of trade and industry, with particular om- phasis on the electrical, plumbing, carpentry, automobile, and closely allied trades and industries. Fifth: Vocational training in the trades parallel to real trade practices. Such trade training should not be limited due to inadequate school plant facilities and must be subject to trade demands, both as to need for additional workers as well as to the quality of training offered. Such training should be offered primarily to advanced high school pupils and as extension work with adults in evening and part-time classes. The organization of the evening and part-time classes should be so arranged that adults could take advantage of them during seasons of unemployment. This should be true particularly with reference to employment on the farm, Sixth; Vocational work in agriculture for advanced high school students and as extension work for adults in evening and part-time closes. There is also a need and demand for agricultural work in the lower high school grades, but the character of work in the lower grades should be largely exploratory and not primarily for the pur- DOBE of training young men to be farmers.
This text outlines the importance of vocational education in high schools in the early 20th century, with a focus on commercial subjects, general shop work, trade training, and agricultural work. It highlights the need for practical preparation for students entering the workforce, with an emphasis on real-world skills and experiences. The text also emphasizes the importance of adapting vocational training to meet the demands of different trades and industries, as well as providing opportunities for adult education and evening classes. Additionally, it suggests that vocational education should be accessible to both advanced high school students and adults, with a focus on practical skills rather than theoretical knowledge. Overall, this text reflects a recognition of the need for specialized vocational training to meet the demands of a changing economy.

routes be furnished the Highway Department for its information in developing plans for secondary highway improvement. Finally: The Committee, recognizes that its recommendations are both comprehen sive and extensive. It is suggested, therefore, that, if it is desired to make the whole change as covered in the recommendations in this Report, it be programmed to be accomplished over a period of five to ten years. The plan outlined is essentially a long-range plan, and is proposed with the idea that time may be needed for its call- plete understanding as well as for its complete development. The School authorities of Loudoun County should also bear in mind that the above recommendations are made in terms of present trends and are predicted as far as pract1- cable on future trends and developments. The Conmittee recommends, however, that the school authorities follow closely the date developed in Part I of this Report and de- termine during the next few years if the trends in Loudoun County are permanent or if some other factors enter, which at the present do not exist, or have not been recognized by the Committee, The Committee feels that a very careful continuing study should be made of school population developments for the County.

SURVEY REPORT FOR LOUDOUN COUNTY PART II It will be noted by reviewing Part I of this Report that it is largely statistical but reveals some very interesting data that are essentially funda- mental to any long-term planning for Loudoun County. Some important facts revealed from a review of Part I of this Report are: First: There has been a gradual decrease in total population in the County each census since 1890, with the result that by 1930 there were 3,422 fewer people in the County than there were in 1890g Second: This dropping in population seems to have been pretty general over the County, elthough the population in Leesburg in 1930 was identical with the population in 1910g There has been a slight increase in Mercer District, which includes the incorporated town of Middleburg, and also a slight increase in Mount Gilead District which includes the towns of Hamilton and Purcellville, increases tak- ing place in both these Distridts since 1910, but these increases are rather negligible. It will be noted also that the increases in these Districts are due to increases in the incorporated towns within the Districts. Outside the incorporated towns the population has relles off. Third: The school enrollment in Loudoun County has gradually declined since 1920. There was a slight increase in the Session 1922 23, but there has been a decrease in the enrollment since 1920 of 355 white children and 192 colored children as of the school session 1937-38. Fourth: It should be noted that Loudoun County is not enrolling -28-
The Survey Report for Loudoun County Part II, following up on Part I, provides vital statistical data essential for long-term planning in the county. The report reveals a gradual decrease in total population since 1890, with 3,422 fewer people residing in the county by 1930 compared to 1890. This decline in population is widespread, though some districts like Mercer and Mount Gilead saw slight increases, mainly due to growth in incorporated towns within the districts. School enrollment in Loudoun County has also been on the decline since 1920, with a decrease of 355 white children and 192 colored children between 1920 and the 1937-38 school session. This information provides valuable insights into population trends and educational demographics in Loudoun County during this period.

enrolled in public schools, only approximately 18 or 20 are enrolled in high school, where 80 or 82 are enrolled in the elementary schools. The High School Plant Volume Needs: There are two distinct forces at work, which affect the volume of enrollments in the high schools. The first of these forces is the direct, and in some cases, intensive effort being made to hold children in the high school system through a greater number of high school grades. This effort seeks to avoid the excessive number of "failures" or "drop-outs", which finally results in a smaller total high school enrollment, The second of these forces is the pronounced decline in the number of births, which continues to reduce the base from which both elementary and high school pupils may be drawn These two forces, 1t will be realized, have opposite effects, and to a certain extent are mutually cancelling, but in the end the second force must prevail, as is shown by the experience in those sections in which high enrollment ratios have already been reached. It is impossible to predict accurately how the population of Loudoun County may be effected during the next ten years as the result of migration; but it is safe to assume that the decline On the number of births will have a very definite effect on the total high school enrollment It must be recognized also that 1f high schools are organized on a comprehensive basis and an educational offering is provided that serves the needs of youth, then we may expect a much stronger holding power in the high schools and & larger percentage of the total high school population will remain in high school, longer than at present, but even with such additional holding power, as may be developed, in the high schools, we may definitely expect in Loudoun County a decline in the total high school enrollment within the next ten years 31
This text, written by an unknown historian, provides insight into the enrollment trends in public schools, specifically in Loudoun County. It highlights the disparity in enrollment between high schools and elementary schools, with the majority of students being in the latter. The text discusses the factors affecting high school enrollment, noting efforts to retain students and the impact of declining birth rates. The historian emphasizes the need for comprehensive education programs to improve high school retention rates, but ultimately predicts a decline in high school enrollment over the next decade due to demographic trends. The text also alludes to the uncertainty of population changes due to migration, underscoring the complex interplay of factors influencing school enrollment in the region.

The text provides a glimpse into the historical cost of school per capita session census from 1920 to 1936. The cost per student per year fluctuated over these years, from $19.95 in 1920-21 to $22.79 in 1929-30, with a decrease to $18.14 in 1934-35. In addition to cost data, the text also includes information on the worth of school buildings in 1938, with estimates based on the assumption of different useful lifespans for different types of construction materials. This information provides valuable insight into the budgeting and construction practices of schools during this time period, reflecting the economic conditions and priorities of education during the interwar years.

tional three R s in the traditional formal Manner, The wide distribution of informa- tion by radio, by the populas magazines and the press have all gone far by way of changing concepts as well as creating new demands on the part of parents for a better and enlarged educational offering in the public schools, To those who are thinking seriously of the problem of public expenditures for education, 11 is becoming quite obvious that we must spend more money for education and spend it more effectively than we have been accustomed to spending it in the past. Statement of Principles: The following principles have guided the recommendations of this Committee: First: It is accepted and recogrized by educational authorities that to effect efficiency in service and economy in operation in offering an adequate educational program at the secondary school leval. we must organize high schools with enrollments of at least 350 or more. Where secondary schools are organized with a lower enrollment than 350, the per pupil cost rises to the point that the scope of educational offering must be consider- ably curtailed or we must pay an exorditantly high per pupil cost for a com- prehensive educational program in these small enrollment high schools. This principle is fundamental and operates regardleas of the geographical distri- bution of school buildings or the local pride and desire to maintain a high school with smell enrollment. Second: An erroneous impression has developed due largely to the cus- tom that unless high schools are well scattered over a county, there is no adequate provision for local community centers of activity. There is no logical reason for associating local community activities exclusively with the high school. On the contrary, the community's interests are more widely represented through the enrollment in elementary schools than through the high school enrollment, due to the fact that out of every hundred children -30
This text, likely from a report or document created by an educational committee, illustrates the shifting educational landscape in the early 20th century. The emphasis on the three traditional Rs alongside the impact of radio and mass media on educational demands for a broader curriculum reflects the modernization of educational practices. The call for increased investment in education, particularly in larger high schools to ensure efficiency and cost-effectiveness, highlights the growing importance placed on public schooling. The emphasis on community engagement and the decentralization of education away from centralized high schools towards more distributed elementary schools indicate a shift towards a more community-centric model of education. These principles laid out in the text likely informed educational policy and practices at the time, influencing the development of public schools in the United States.

Operating Costs: It has been pointed out in the "Statement of Principles" that to be efficient in service with economy in operation, as minimum high school en- rollment of 350 pupils is required. This statement is based on a number of studies made and is borne out by actual experience in the Virginia schools. The 1936-37 records of the State Department of Education givo the following average per capita cost of instruction in the high schools of the State offering home economics and four years of vocational agriculture: Comparison of Per Capita Cost of Instruction In High Schools of Virginia for 1936-37 Offering Home Economics and Four Years of Vocational Agriculture, Grades 8-11 Enrollments of at less than 100 67.28 100 to 150 48.94 150 to 200. 41.80 Over 250 38.18 It should be noted too that in the small enrollment high school, even at the higher per pupil cost, it is often impossible to `provide a satisfactory bare academic offering. Courses must be staggered, thus requiring pupils to take a subject a year in advance of their grade and vice versa. Frequently courses such as foreign ian- guages and the sciences cannot be offered, The fact that the per pupil cost in the small enrollment high school is much higher than in the larger enrollment high school is due, of course, to a low pupil-teacher load in the smaller enrollment schools It is somewhat difficult to accurately compare the per-pupil cost of high school pupils in Loudoun County, due to the fact that not all of the high schools in the county offer full-four-year vocational courses in home economics and agriculture. Consequently, they are hardly comparable on a per pupil cost basis with those schools that do offer these vocational subjects, The Committee does not advocate consolidation of high school work solely for economy in operation, nor does it pretend to state that 11 consolidation of high school work is affected, there would be ultimately less money spent for high school -32-
The text from the "Statement of Principles" highlights the importance of minimum high school enrollment of 350 students for efficient service and economic operation. It cites data from the 1936-37 records of the Virginia State Department of Education to show the average per capita cost of instruction in high schools offering home economics and vocational agriculture. The data reveals that smaller enrollment high schools have higher per pupil costs due to lower pupil-teacher loads, leading to difficulties in providing a satisfactory academic offering and limiting course options. The text emphasizes that the comparison of per-pupil costs in high schools in Loudoun County is challenging due to varying offerings in vocational subjects. It also clarifies that while consolidation of high school work is not advocated solely for cost-saving purposes, it could potentially result in overall financial benefits.

During the years 1935-1939, there was a significant increase in the number of students being transported to schools in Lovettsville District, with a noticeable decline in the number of students walking to school. The enrollment numbers for individual schools within the district fluctuated, with some schools experiencing closures while others saw increases in enrollment. The trend of transportation versus walking was also observed in Mercer District, where the number of students being transported surpassed those walking to school. Similar fluctuations in enrollment were seen in Mount Gilead District, with some schools showing increases in enrollment while others remained the same. Overall, there was a substantial increase in the total number of white students attending school, with transportation playing a key role in this growth.

White Colored Adjusted Natural Gain 1,654 500 Census Losses 263 462 Migration Loss 1,917 962 The estimated migration loss of both races combined was 2,879 persons which represented 14.0 per cent of the county's 1920 population. The percentage losses by race amounted to 12.2 for the whites and 20.0 for the Negroed. Migrations from the county between 1920 and 1930 probably acted to change materially the population make-up as regards both age and race. Some idea of the result of these changes may be obtained from a com- parison of the following county and State figures: Percentage Age Distribution - 1930 Loudoun County State of Va. Ages White Colored White & Colored Under 5 9.9 11.5 10.6 5 to 9 10.3 13.0 12.1 10 to 14 10.4 11.8 11.1 15 to 19 10.1 11.3 10.6 20 to 24 7.7) 8.1) 9.0) 25 to 39 6.2) 5.9) 7:3) 30 to 34 5834.4 4,9)29.8 6,5)34.0 ) ) 35 to 44 11.7) 10.9) 12:1) 45 to 54 11:3 10:1 9:7 55 to 64 7.8 6.1 6.1 65 to 74 5.7 3.8 3:3 75 and over 3.1 2.5 1.5 Unknown o 0.1 0.1 All Ages 100.0 100.0 100.6 (Note that from 0 to 34 years of age the groupings are in 5-year brackets, and from 35 to 74 are in 10-year brackets.) The above table indicates clearly that population shifts have tended to reduce the relative numbers of persons in the 20 to 44 year age groups in Loudoun County. Such reductions would automatically re- duce the numbers of births unless absolute birth rates increase suffi- ciently to offset the loss of women of childbearing age. It is interest-
ing to note the differences in age distribution between the white and colored populations, with the colored population showing higher percentages in the younger age groups compared to the white population. This data provides valuable insight into the demographic changes and challenges faced by Loudoun County during the early 20th century, particularly in terms of migration patterns and their impact on population composition. The census figures highlight the importance of considering age and race when analyzing population dynamics and suggest potential implications for future population growth and stability in the region.

This text, from a report on public education in Loudoun County, provides insight into the state of the school system in the late 1930s. It highlights the differences in enrollment percentages between white and colored children compared to the state average, as well as the lower investment in school buildings per pupil in Loudoun County. The report suggests the possibility of abandoning and consolidating some schools in the county due to this lower investment. The committee responsible for the report emphasizes the need for long-term planning and projections in terms of school buildings, taking into account social and economic forces at work. The evolving expectations of school patrons are also discussed, indicating a shift towards a more comprehensive approach to public education beyond traditional classroom settings. This document reflects a period of change and transition in the educational landscape of Loudoun County.
During the school years of 1935-1936 to 1938-1939, there was a significant increase in the number of students enrolled in colored schools in Leesburg and Rock Hill. The number of high school pupils transported also saw a rise, with 25 students being transported in 1935-36, increasing to 35 students by 1938-39. The grade school pupils in Leesburg also saw an increase from 100 in 1935-36 to 109 in 1938-39. Overall, the total number of colored grade students increased from 808 in 1935-36 to 854 in 1938-39. The total number of all students, both white and colored, also saw an increase during this period, with a total of 487 students in 1935-36 rising to 725 students in 1938-39.

Gains in Farm Persons from 1930 to 1935 White Colored Census Change 1,928 353 Natural Gaine 392 48 Gains by Migration 1,536 305 Apparently Loudoun County experienced the effects of a heavy back-to-the-farm movement, The volume of this movement as based upon the farm population of 1930 was 17.3 per cent for white persons and 23.0 per cent for Negroes. The number of farms, their average size and area of improved farm land varied from 1880 to 1935 as follows: No. of Ave.Acreage Improved Farm Land Year Farms Per Farm Acres Indest 1880 1,841 162 252,391 200 1890 1,818 162 235,703 101:4 1900 1,948 161 251,874 108.4 19.10 2,144 144 251;617 108.3 1920 1,962 156 247,673 106.6 1930 1,645 172 222;180 95.6 1935 2,107 141 232,470 100.0 The effect of population pressure resulting from the inward migration from 1930 to 1935 is seen in the diminution of farm sizes together with an increase in the number of farms during that period. Along with the increase in the number of farms there was an increase in the area of improved farm land, yet in 1935 the area of improved farm land was no greater than in 1980g Judging from peat trends in the area of improved farm land it seems unlikely that the land of Loudoun County will attract additional farm people in appreciable numbers. The farm distribution in 1935 was as follows Number of Farms Per Ave.Size of District Farms Sq. Mile Farms (Acres) Broad Run 461 3.31 147 Jefferson 298 4.52 137 Leeebung 329 4.84 144 Lovettsville 398 4.88 100 Mercer 294 3.31 206 Mount Gilead 327 4.32 125 County 2,107 4.06 141
The text provides valuable information regarding the changes in the farm population of Loudoun County, Virginia, from 1930 to 1935. It highlights gains in farm persons, distinguishing between those due to natural increase and migration for both white and colored individuals. The data reveals that there was a significant back-to-the-farm movement during this period, with a noticeable impact on farm sizes and land distribution. The increase in the number of farms resulted in smaller average farm sizes, yet there was also an increase in the area of improved farm land. However, the trend suggests that the county may not attract additional farm people in the near future. The distribution of farms in different districts within the county is also outlined, providing insight into the agricultural landscape of Loudoun County during the mid-20th century.

education. It does maintain, however, that if a comprehensive educational offering is provided, that & very definite saving in dollars and cents would be effected if such offering were provided in one high school as contrasted with the same offering in the six high schools. The main point to be considered in any argument for con- solidation of high school work is that the comprehensive offering can be provided in one center with a largs enrollment at a much lower per capita cost than in a number of centers with small enroAlments. The Committee recognizes that the factor of transportation must necessarily be involved in any program of high school consolidation. Based on previous experience and studies, however, it is definitely of the opinion that transportation in Loudoun County can be so reorganized that even though the total amount of transportation is increased, other economies can be effected by consolidation and reorganized transpor- tation so that the total cost is not appreciatly increased, but can probably be dec creesed. The total accredited high school enrollment of white pupils in Loudoun County for the session 1938-39 was 698, which would make a very satisfactury Milliont for one high school. It does not seem practicable, however, to think of consolidating all the high school work in Loudoun County into one high school, due to geographic conditions. The committee, is therefore, of the opinion, that the county should continue for the present three high schools, one at Leesburg, one in the Lincoln- Purceilville area, and one in the Lovettsville area. The committee feels, however, that any further capital outlay made at Lovettsville should be made only in terms of an elementary school plant and that eventually, or as soon as local conditions permit, Lovettsville should be consolidated with one or both of the two high schools at Leesburg and Lincoln-Furuellville area. The Committee feels that the high school work conducted at Round H171, Aldie, and Ashburn should be consolidated with the two central high schools.
This text reflects the considerations of a historical committee in Loudoun County regarding the consolidation of high schools in the area during the session of 1938-39. The committee argues that providing a comprehensive educational offering in one high school would result in cost savings compared to spreading the same offering across six high schools due to economies of scale. Despite recognizing the importance of transportation in any consolidation plan, the committee believes that reorganizing transportation systems can offset any potential increased costs. The committee ultimately recommends maintaining three high schools in Leesburg, Lincoln-Purcellville, and Lovettsville, suggesting that Lovettsville be eventually consolidated with one or both of the central high schools. Additionally, the committee advocates for the consolidation of high school work in Round Hill, Aldie, and Ashburn with the two central high schools. This text provides insight into the logistical and financial considerations involved in educational consolidation efforts in Loudoun County during this period.

For the Session 1937-38 the ratio between the enrollment for children in high school and those in elementary grades was: White Colored High 0.27 0.08 Elementary (Ratios are taken from inventory sheets rather than from Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction since the latter does not contain figures for non-accredited high schools.) The average enrollments by schools as given on the annual inventory sheets of the past four years are as follows: -10c
During the academic year 1937-1938, data on enrollment in both high school and elementary grades were collected, with a noticeable disparity in the enrollment ratios between white and colored students. According to inventory sheets, the ratio of white students enrolled in high school compared to elementary grades was 0.27, while the ratio for colored students was 0.08. It is important to note that these ratios were derived from inventory sheets rather than the Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction, as figures for non-accredited high schools were not included in the latter. Additionally, average enrollments for schools over the preceding four years were documented. This data provides valuable insight into the education landscape during this time period, particularly in terms of racial disparities in enrollment rates.

LOUDOUN COUNTY PART I In planning buildings and other school facilities the design capacities should be determined in part by the types and amounts of instruction to be provided, However, these considerations cannot be developed until some perception of the basic numbers of persons who must be offered such facilities in the future is formed. This study is intended to point out those factors influencing future populations and thus to funish a base for school planning. POPULATION In 1930 51.5 percent of the people of Loudoun County were classified as farm dwelldrs. The remaining 48,5 percent were classed as rural non-farm persons, of which 41 percent lived in the ten small incorporated towns, The county population as shown by the census has been as follows: 1890 25,274 1900 21,948 1910 21,167 1920 20,577 1930 19,852 The population trends in Loudoun County have differed con- siderably from those in the adjoining counties." Loudoun's population experienced a steady decrease from 1890 to 1950, the decrease during that period being 19 percent of the 1890 population, In Clarke County the decrease was 11 percent of the 1890 population. In Fauquier County there was an increase from 1890 to 1900 followed by a decrease to 1930, which amounted to 6 percent of the 1890 population. Prince William County experienced a steady growth from 1890 to 1900 amounting to 48 percent of the 1890 population. In Warren County the poyulation of 1930 was essentially the same as that of 1890, The internal composition of the decline in the Loudoun County population is shown in the following table:
The text provides valuable insight into the population trends of Loudoun County from 1890 to 1930, with a particular focus on the composition of rural dwellers and farm residents. It highlights the steady decrease in overall population in the county during this period, in contrast to neighboring counties such as Clarke County and Prince William County, which experienced different growth patterns. The data presented underscores the importance of understanding population dynamics in planning for school facilities, as the number of individuals requiring education services is directly tied to demographic shifts. Overall, the information in this text serves as a foundation for comprehending the historical development and population changes in Loudoun County during the early 20th century.

During the academic year of 1937-1938, data from inventory sheets revealed that the ratio of enrollment for white children in high school to those in elementary grades was 0.27, while the ratio for colored children was 0.08. These ratios were calculated based on information obtained from inventory sheets, as the Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction did not provide figures for non-accredited high schools. Additionally, the average enrollments by schools over the past four years were recorded and analyzed. This data provides valuable insight into the educational landscape of the time, including disparities in enrollment between high school and elementary levels, as well as discrepancies between white and colored students. By examining these figures, historians can better understand the education system and social dynamics of the period.

However, it is believed that these trends are not so closely related to school populations as are the trends in actual numbers of births. Therefore, the following table 1s employed to give comparisons of the estimated resident births of 1921 to 1927 and 1931 to 1937: Number of Births White Colored From 1921 to 1927 2:565 811 From 1931 to 1937 2,262 704 Per Cent Change - 11.81 13.19 If WO disragard possible migrations and base our forecast only upon birth records, it may be said that the number of white persons becoming of school age from 1937 to 1943 will be 12 per cent less than that number was from 1927 to 1933. Likewise it may be said that the number of colored persons reaching school age f.om 1937 to 1943 will be 13 per cent less than the number was from 1927 to 1933g Farm Populations Farm populations as reported by the Consuses of 1930 and 1935 were as follows: Farm Persone White Colored April 1, 1930 8/898 1,325 January 10 1935 10.826 1,676 Change & 1,923 t 353 Assuming that the natural gains of farm persons were at the sams rate as for the whole county's population, the gains and migration changes would have been as tabulated below: of
The text provides data on average annual natural gain rates for white and colored populations from 1920 to 1937 in a particular county. The figures show a decline in natural gain rates over time, indicating a potential slowdown in population growth. The text also presents data on estimated resident births for white and colored populations during specific time periods, suggesting a decrease in the number of individuals reaching school age in the future. Additionally, information on farm populations in 1930 and 1935 is included, showing an increase in both white and colored farm residents. By analyzing these trends and demographic shifts, historians can make predictions about future population changes in the county, particularly in relation to school-age populations and farm communities. It is implied that factors such as migration patterns and birth rates will influence future population trends.

routes be furnished the Highway Department for its information in developing plans for secondary highway improvement. Finally: The Committee, recognizes that its recommendations are both comprehen- ar sive and extensive. It is suggested, therefore, that, if it is desired to make the whole change as covered in the recommendations in this Report, it be programmed to be accomplished over a period of five to ten years. The plan outlined is essentially a long-range plan, and is proposed with the idea that time may be needed for its can plete understanding as well as for its complete development. The School authorities of Loudoun County should also bear in mind that the above recomendations are made in terms of present trends and are predicted as far as pract1- cable on future trends and developments, The Committee recommends, however, that the school authorities follow closely the data developed in Part I of this Report and de- termine during the next few years if the trends in Loudoun County are permanent or if some other factors enter, which at the present do not exist, or have not been recognized by the Committee The Committee feels that a very careful continuing study should be made of school population developments for the County.
This text, likely from a public planning or development committee, outlines recommendations for improving secondary highways in a particular area, possibly Loudoun County. The Committee suggests that the proposed changes be implemented gradually over a period of five to ten years to ensure a full understanding and development of the plan. Additionally, the Committee advises school authorities to closely monitor population trends to determine the permanence of current conditions and to address any unforeseen factors that may arise. This text reflects a desire for thorough analysis and strategic planning in order to effectively address future needs and developments in the region. The recommendations appear to be based on existing data and trends, with an emphasis on long-term planning for the benefit of the community.

The text discusses the challenges faced by high schools in Loudoun County in meeting the diverse needs of the community in terms of educational offerings and facilities. It highlights the importance of offering a variety of courses to prepare youth and adults for complex social problems, but notes that the current high school setup is inadequate in terms of physical plant requirements. The Committee recommends consolidation of high school work to achieve desirable enrollments without unnecessary capital outlay and operational expenses, considering the County's income limitations. The text emphasizes the need for a careful evaluation of financial and educational benefits of consolidation against the factors contributing to the dispersion of high school activities, ultimately aiming to provide more comprehensive educational services to the community.

and studied in the reorganization of transportation for Loudoun County. The several main factors that should be considered in such a reorganization study are: First: A county owned and operated system of transportation; Second: The organization of combined express busses and local busses with the express busses making through trips and the local busses serving the local centers from which the through busses pick up pupils. Third: The purchase and operation of larger busses that will haul larger numbers of pupils. Fourth: Reorganizing the daily school schedule on a staggered schedule basis. By tradition we have come to feel that all schools in a given school division should begin at the same hour in the day and close at the same hour in the day There appears to be no good reason why different school centers could not have different daily schedules, thereby permitting the Dusses to deliver children at a given school at a given hour, which school could then begin its daily schedule, and the busses proceed to gather up other children to be delivered at another school at a later hour. Busses would thus be permitted to do double duty and remain in operation longer each day. A staggered sche- dule would be particularly practicable at the dentral consolidated high schools where more than one section would necessarily be organized in order to accommodate the larger enrollments that would follow from the consolidated high schools. Then to the question of suitable roads may seriously affect organization of the transportation system. The Highway Department, however, is urgently requesting school authorities to definitely determine a long-range program of central school locations and to designate bus routes in order that they may improve first those roads that contribute to and are necessary for a reorganized transportation program. The Committee, therefore, recommends that as soon as the School authorities are in position to decide upon a program of consolidation, they ask for a detailed study of de sirable transportation reorganization and that a copy of such study showing selected -40.
This text, written by unknown author in the mid-20th century, outlines various factors to consider in the reorganization of transportation for Loudoun County schools. It suggests the establishment of a county-owned transportation system, the use of larger buses to accommodate more students, and the implementation of a staggered school schedule to optimize bus routes and minimize idle time. The text also highlights the importance of coordination with the Highway Department to ensure suitable roads for the transportation system. Overall, the text reflects the challenges and considerations faced by education authorities in providing efficient and effective transportation services to schools in the area during that time period.

Seventh: Vocational work in home making and home management, including extension work in part-time and evening classes with adults. Instruction in the vocational sub- jects, particularly in rural communities can do much by way of reaching into the farms and homes and bringing groups together in the school plant for evening or part-time classes, thus developing both producer and consumer knowledge. Eighth: Adequate library and library space for both pupils and community. A comprehensive high school should provide library facilities for the community open twelve to fifteen hours per day and each da, throughout the year. With large invest- ments in school plants and with adequate library facilities in the school plant, these libraries should be open and available at convenient hours to all concerned. Ninth: Space for adequate health and medical clinics to serve both pupils and community This does not imply that the schools must enter into competition with the medical profession, but that they should provide spaces for free clinics where physical defects in both pupils and adulte of the community may be diagnosed and helped. Tenth: Study and training in music, including vocal, choral, orchestra and band, There is perhaps no phase of public education which can be completely and effectively develop community pride and establish cooperation as a well developed music program. The music program should be organized to reach out into the entire comminity. Eleventh: Training and study in the fine arts The high schools in rural communica ties have given practically no attention to art appreciation either with pupils or adults A comprehensive high school should do much in developing appreciation by way of familiar- izing the community with the great art productions throughout the world,cultivating taste and appreciation for landscaping around the home and in decoration, color combination, color harmony, etc., within the homes. Twelfth: Evening and part-time classes for adults on a flexible plan. There are many courses in which the adults of the community are interested and which they could support if organized in units suitable to their convenience. These could well be con-
In this text, the focus is on the importance of vocational work, library facilities, health clinics, music education, and fine arts training in comprehensive high schools in rural communities. The author emphasizes the need for vocational subjects like home making and management to reach farms and homes, as well as the provision of library spaces that are open to the community for extended hours. The mention of health clinics within schools highlights the importance of diagnosing and addressing physical defects in both students and adults. Additionally, music education and fine arts training are seen as vital components in developing community pride and cooperation. The text also suggests offering evening and part-time classes for adults, recognizing the importance of flexibility in educational programs to cater to community interests. The overall goal is to enhance community engagement and provide diverse educational opportunities for both students and adults.

First: That the county continue to operate three high schools, one at Leesburg, one in the Lincoln-Purcellville area, and one at Lovettsville® Second: That the high school plants now operating at Round Hill, Aldie and Ashburn be consolidated with the two high schools at Leesburg, and in the Lincoln-Purcellvills area. Third: That as soon as local conditions permit, the high school work at Lovettsville be consolidated with the two high schools in the central part of the county, Leesburg and Lincoln-Purcellville area. In the meantime it is recommended that the school authorities make no further capital outlay at Lovettsville that would tend to further accommodate a high school offering at Lovettsville, but that such capital outlay should be made at Lovettsville as will be necessary for an elementary school only. As these high school centers are moved from existing high schools, the whole plano should be remodeled and altered to a ccompodate a w@ll-rounded and adequate elementary school plant, Transportation: With Consolidations, as recommended above, there immediately arises the question as to whether the cost of the extra transportation, if any, needed to carry the pupils, formerly walking to centers where high school work has been suspended, to more distant centers where the work will be continued w211 be more than the savings effected by the consolidations. As stated in preceding sections of this Study, while actual savings in dollars and cents may fully justify a consolidated program, there are far more important factors involved that fundamentally concern the effectiveness and or- ganization of the public school system, which make it necessary to lock beyond, as far as practicable the actual cost in dollars and cents, The Committee has not had an opportunity to take a complete study of a desirable reorganization of the transportation syatem for Loudoun County and its cost. so that what follows should be taken as tentative statements only.

This text outlines recommendations for the reorganization of high school education in Loudoun County, Virginia, in the early 20th century. The proposal suggests consolidating high school plants in Round Hill, Aldie, and Ashburn with existing high schools in Leesburg and the Lincoln-Purcellville area. The plan also calls for the eventual consolidation of the high school work in Lovettsville with the central high schools. The text discusses the need to ensure adequate elementary school facilities in Lovettsville and considers the potential impact on transportation costs with the proposed consolidations. The committee acknowledges the importance of factors beyond financial savings in the reorganization of the education system, emphasizing the need for a well-rounded and effective public school system in the county.

Certain of the transportation figures listed above fail to agree with those given in Bulletin, Vol. XX, No. 5 of the State Board of Education. Therefore, the figures from both sources are listed below: Numbers Transported - Session 1936-37 Inventory Bubletin White Elementary 749 697 White High 340 345 Colored Elementary 0 25 Colored High 15 15 From figures for 1936-37 shown in the above mentioned bulletin, It is found: (a) That Loudoun County operated 17 busses to transport 1,092 pupils, an average load of 64 pupils per bus. The State's average was 62 pupils per bus, (b) That in Londour County the average daily distance traveled per bus was 26.7 miles as compared with the average figure of 30c4 miles for all busses in the State® (c) That in Loudoun County the transportation cost was $13,78 per pupil as compared with $11.18 average for all counties in the State The average daily distance traveled per bus in Loudoun Count. was relatively low and the cost per pupil was considerably higher than the State's average. A critical analysis of the bus system is not possible without more recent figures but it would seem from the figures given above that a more detailed study of the present transportation system is justified. INSTRUCTION AND INSTRUCTIONAL COSTS The per capita costs of instruction, including the item "instructional cost" in terms of all children of school age in the county, were as follows: 21.
During the 1936-37 school year, discrepancies in transportation figures were noted between the State Board of Education Bulletin and another source, prompting the comparison of numbers transported in Loudoun County. With 17 buses operating, Loudoun County transported 1,092 pupils, averaging 64 pupils per bus, slightly higher than the state average of 62. The average daily distance traveled per bus in the county was 26.7 miles, below the state average of 30.4 miles. Additionally, the transportation cost per pupil in Loudoun County was $13.78, higher than the state average of $11.18. These figures suggest a need for further examination of the transportation system, despite the lack of more recent data. In terms of instructional costs, a breakdown of per capita costs for instruction was provided, indicating educational spending per child of school age in the county.

This text is a reproduction of a historical book published in 1913 titled "The Work of the Rural School" by J.D. Eggleston and Robert W. Bruere. It discusses the importance of rural education in the context of a growing interest in agricultural production and the need for scientific farming. The book outlines various aspects of rural education, including community surveys, health of children, school government, vocational training, and cooperative demonstration work. It emphasizes the role of the rural school in shaping citizens and improving rural communities through practical education and outreach programs. The authors advocate for better school plants, neglected factors in school equipment, consolidation, transportation, and the crucial role of teachers in citizen-making. This text provides insight into the challenges and opportunities within rural education in the early 20th century and highlights the efforts to improve rural schools for the benefit of communities and agriculture.

file A SURVEY OF LOUDOUN COUNTY WHITE SCHOOLS TO INDICATE THE COMPLETED REORGANIZATION OR CONSOLIDATION January 3,1940 Early consolidation of schools in Loudoun County took place at Hillsboro where the Salem and Edge Grove schools were closed and at Round Hill where the Cherry Grove school was closed, both about 1911. The pupils were taken to school in horse-drawn wagons. At about the same time horse.drawn vehicles, privately owned and operated, were used at Hamilton and Purcellville to transport high school pupils to Lincoln. Further, at this period plans for closing many of the county's one-room schools and transportation of pupils to central points in horse drawn vehicles were discussed by school officials. In the early stages of the use of motor vehicles for pupil trans- portation the uniform practice of tryingto adapt trucks designed for ordinary haul purposes did not much improve the conditions prevailing during the use of horse-drawn wagons. Comparatively these trucks were unsafe, insanitary, uncomforta le and expensive because they could carry only a very small load. Road conditions in the early stages of consolidation, and dis- cussion thereof, were bad. As a direct outcome of the energy and devotion to the cause of W. G. Edmondson, Division Superintendent of Schools from 1909 to 1917, the state-wide campaign for high schools to be made available to all pupils in Virginia bore abundant fruit in Loudoun County, Because there were so many towns in the county and because our people were really much interested in better school XM facilities for their children or the same facilities at points so located that their children could attend school from home daily, there resulted the erection of high school buildings partly or entirely financed by private contributions at a number of points. So at the beginning of the service of the present Superintendent The early experience with transportation which certainly were not satisfactory, the early discussion of similar arrangements at many points and the early location of so large a number of high schools at natural community centers, have made it a very difficult task for the school authorities to overcome the very natural pride of local com- munities in their own institution. So the reorganization of the schools of Loudoun County although on a conservative and slowly evolving basis has been a painful process. But why close one-room and two-room schools and haul children to larger schools? Why close high school departments? We cannot reason that consolidation is an economy measure. There may be isolated cases where money is saved. It is possible however, to operate a county system with less teachers where small schools are brought into larger centers. It may be of interest to examine relative conditions that will give us a picture of what has happened in respect to costs of tran sportation and teachers' salaries over a term of years. In the year 1928-29 which precedes most of the consolidation of schools in Loudoun County there were a total of 33 one-room teachers, 10 two-room teachers, 58 other elementary teachers and 34 high school teachers in 9 high schools or a total of 135 white teachers. The average daily attendance was 3276. In the year 1938-39 the situation was as follows: 8 oneroom teachers, 8 two-room teachers, 55 other elementary teachers, and 33 high schools teachers or a total of 112. The average daily attendance was 3595. It can be seen that 23 less teachers cared for 319 more children daily. Now in 1928-29 the amount spent for transportation was $6007.44 and in 1938-39 it was $23,375.90 or an increase of $17,368.46. Some of this increase in transportation is directly changeable to provision for transportation in areas that have not been effected by closing a school population changes very little that in a particular small school by may vary 50 per cent within a few years. The present Superintendent, for example, has been 9 two-room schools reduced to one-room schools some of which were later restored to two-room school status. Also he has seen 10 one-room schools closed for lack of legal attendance, and even now we have a one-room school caring for an enrollment of 57 as an example of a problem heretofore multiplied many times. It is believed that conditions prevailing in Loudoun County are favorable to the closing at an early date of the 3 two-room schools and 4 of the 5 one-room schools. The Sunny Ridge school is unfavorably located for consolidation. Let us examine the case for our high schools. Within the last few years educators and the public have shown indications of being thoroughly aroused to the condition that high schools were being geared to a college preparatory system. Without regard for the fact that less than one-fourth of the pupils entering high school were in turn entering college all high schools were almost entirely devoted to preparation for college. There exists in the land today a wave of indignation demanding that high schools de prepare for life. I quote below from a letter written by a graduate of a Washington City high school 6 years after graduation and published in the Washington Post on December 15, 1939. "I want to know", the letter said, "Why you and your teachers did not tell and teach me about life and the hard, cyrtically practical world into which you sent me Why d did you have to spend so much time on dry, uninteresting subject-matter and so little on genuine life prolems?" XThe writer told how he had gone to college for a year, left school in the de- pression,Aarried, landed on relief, and finally: "I am a husband, and a father, working my way blindly from a high school intellectual to a respect- able, self-supporting, voting citizen of the community. In this transition
The text "A Survey of Loudoun County White Schools to Indicate the Completed Reorganization or Consolidation" from January 3, 1940 provides insight into the early consolidation of schools in Loudoun County, particularly focusing on the use of transportation methods to bring students to central points. The document highlights the efforts of W.G. Edmondson, the Division Superintendent of Schools from 1909 to 1917, in advocating for high schools to be made available to all pupils in Virginia, resulting in the establishment of high school buildings funded by private contributions. The text discusses the challenges faced in consolidating one-room and two-room schools, as well as the shift towards high schools preparing students for practical life skills rather than solely college preparation. Overall, the document reflects the ongoing debate and process of reorganizing and consolidating schools in Loudoun County during the early 20th century.

Ritchin S.W.George Parson Hickmen Upon motion duly made and seconded Superêntendent Emerick was un- 28 animously elected chairman of the meeting. The chairman then appointed Stillbn H. Hall secretary. The chairman stated briefly the purpose of the meeting and why it was called. He reported that the principals of several high schools had been notified to the effect that their schools had been removed or would be removed next year from the accredited list unless the new regulation of the State Board of Education should be fully complied with. A recent ruling of the State Board of Education requires an enrollment of fifty pupils in the high school department or an age ensolment attendance of thirty five, provided that the cost of instruction per pupil in the high school department is not more than three times the cost of instruction in the elementary department. 2 The chairman then presented in outline form arguments which he thought advisable to offer to the State Board of Education. Upon motion duly made and seconded it was ordered that Superin- tendent Emerick and Commonwealth's Attorney Cecil Connor present orally the main arguments of the delgation before the State Board. It was ordered that each delegation select a speaker to draft in writing arguments peculiar to his school, in support of its reten- tion on the accredited list, these arguments to be submitted to either of the main speakers at an early date. The chosen representative should be prepared, if called on, to present his arguments. It was ordered that Superintendent Emerick and Col. Connor desig- nate the order in which these representatives should speak, if the time was avaiable and if expedient in their opinion. It was ordered that the delegation make the trip by rail, Mr. Emerick being chosen to decide on the time of departure from Washington, D. C. He was also instructed to make arrangements for parlor car or pullman service, the extra cost to be borne by the delegates. The proposed amendment to the existing regulations of the State Board of Education, suggested by Mr. Emerick, to be presented as a tent@tive remedy, which was accepted by the delegation, reads as follows: See sefarate copy The meeting adjourned subject to the call of Superintendent Emerick, Stilson H.

On January 13, 1926, a letter was sent from the Pullman Ticket Office in Washington, D.C., requesting seat reservations on train No. 81 for a group of individuals traveling to Richmond. This group was part of a delegation that was set to appear before The State Board of Education in Richmond in the interest of Loudoun County high schools. The meeting minutes from December 19, 1924, highlighted the members present from the Loudoun County School Board, Division Superintendent of Schools, and delegates from affected high schools. The purpose of the meeting was to address new regulations regarding high school accreditation, specifically the requirement of a certain enrollment size to remain on the accredited list. Superintendent Emerick and Commonwealth's Attorney Cecil Connor were tasked with presenting arguments to the State Board, emphasizing the importance of retaining high school education in rural areas like Loudoun County. The proposed amendment to the State Board regulations, aimed at providing a remedy for smaller high schools, was accepted by the delegation and further actions were planned to advocate for the preservation of high schools in the county.

RCH 2-5B Yr 2019 Study of Lincoln Purcellville Dispute
This study authored by Larry Roeder in 2016 contains the summary of the dispute. In 1926, the Lincoln-Purcellville dispute arose over the replacement of Lincoln High School, which had burned down and needed to be rebuilt. Lincoln residents wanted to maintain the school in their community, while Purcellville residents argued for it to be relocated to their town. This conflict highlighted deeper issues of cultural clashes, with underlying prejudice against Quakers for their pacifist beliefs and non-traditional voting patterns. The dispute escalated beyond the School Board, involving county and state government officials as well as the courts, showcasing the evolving landscape of school administration in Virginia. Despite tensions, the conflict was ultimately resolved in favor of Lincoln, with the school reopening in March 1927. This event also shed light on broader issues of civil liberties and freedom of speech during a time of political upheaval and social change.

The Lincoln-Purcellville Dispute of 1926 was a controversial debate surrounding the replacement of the Lincoln High School after it burned down in 1926. The dispute stemmed from whether the replacement school should be in Lincoln or nearby Purcellville, resulting in a clash between the two communities. This conflict went beyond just the School Board and involved the courts, county government, and state officials, revealing the evolving administration of school rules and laws. There was also an underlying clash of cultures, with some prejudice against Quakers and a rising commercial hub in Purcellville. Despite tensions and challenges, the conflict was eventually resolved, with Lincoln retaining its school and opening a new building in March 1927. This historical event highlights not just the educational disputes of the time, but also the broader social and cultural dynamics in Loudoun County, Virginia.

In 1926, the Blue Ridge Herald reported on the destruction of the main building of Lincoln High School due to a fire of unknown origin. The community rallied together and began discussions about the reconstruction of the high school, with reports on new site selections and building plans. The school board finally chose the Lincoln site for the new high school building. Following extensive community efforts, the new Lincoln High School was dedicated in 1927. The dedication marked the culmination of a series of events from the fire to the rebuilding process.

In 1926, the Blue Ridge Herald reported on the destruction of the main building of Lincoln High School due to a fire of unknown origin. The community rallied together and began discussions about the reconstruction of the high school, with reports on new site selections and building plans. The school board finally chose the Lincoln site for the new high school building. Following extensive community efforts, the new Lincoln High School was dedicated in 1927. The dedication marked the culmination of a series of events from the fire to the rebuilding process, showcasing the resilience and commitment of the community to education and youth development. The historic events as reported in the Blue Ridge Herald reflect the importance of education and community solidarity in Purcellville, Virginia during the early 20th century.

February 9, 1931 Middleburg, Virginia Loudoun County School Board Gentlemen, I am quite in harmony with the parents and friends of the St. Louis School. The enrollment at present is 71 and there are other families to move into the village soon. The crowded conditions makes it impossible for me to give the children as much attention as they need and naturally they are not getting as much out of the work as they should. I feel that the patrons are willing to do their part in getting an extra room and another teacher. I am doing my best and laboring under the present situation. Hoping that your answer to the patrons request will be in the affirmative. I am yours truly, Laura Cook Feb. 10-1931 To the Loudoun County School Board We the undersigned beg leave to say the school in St Louis is over crowded with seventy one (71) scholars enrolled & there is a large attendance at all times. As conditions are not sanitary with three scholars at each desk. We are asking if the school board will give us an extra room and primary teacher for the next school term. If you consider this kindly write back on what terms we can get one. We are willing to do all we can to help in this matter as we feel it is absolutely necessary. We are herewith enclosing the Teachers report and we are sure you will see that it is absolutely necessary trusting that this will meet with your approval we are the interested Parents of St Louis school.

On February 9, 1931, Laura Cook, a teacher at St. Louis school, wrote a letter to the Loudoun County School Board expressing concerns about the overcrowded conditions of the school. With 71 students in attendance, the lack of space and resources was hindering her ability to give each child the necessary attention. Cook, along with a group of parents and friends of the school, requested an extra room and another teacher for the next school term to alleviate these issues. The letter, signed by a number of concerned individuals, outlined the urgent need for improved conditions at the school and sought approval and support from the school board. This communication serves as a snapshot of the challenges faced by educators and students in rural schools during this time period.

COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA OFFICE OF THEATTORNEY GENERAL RICHMOND April 30, 1926. Virginia, 1913, Hon. Wilbur C. Hall, Attorney at Law, Leesburge Virginia. My dear Mr. Hall: %6knowledgment is made of your letter of April 28, 1926, in which you say in part: "I want to know if the superintendent can compel the chairman of the county school board to call a meeting. Spon organization of the county school board of Doudoun county a resolution was adopted that special meetings could be called on request of two members. County school boards as they now exist were provided for by Chapter 423 of the Acts of 1922. Section 5 of that act, after providing for the organization meeting and the selection of a chairman and secretary, provides: "The board shall meet at such other times as may be prescribed by law, or as necessity may require. If the board consist of an even number the division superintendent shall have a vote on any question in the case of a tie vote." Section 3 of the same act provides: "The county school board as above constituted is here- by vested with all the powers and charged with all the duties and obligations hitherto vested in, or conferred or imposed upon, the several district school boards of the particular county as well as the county school board of such county as now constituted, except as herein provided and except in 80 far as such powers and duties may be inconsistent with the functioning of the county school board as the unit of operation of the public free school system in the county." -20 Section 633 of the Code of Virginia, 1919, provides as follows with reference to district boards: "Any member may call a meeting by giving due notice to the other two members. Any two members shall constitute a quorum; a concurrence of a majority of the board in a duly assembled meeting shall be re- quired to constitute a valid act." the ree There can be no question but that this law is still in force and effect by virtue of the provisions of section 3 of Chapter 423 of the Acts of 1922. with reference to the old county school boards as con- stituted at the time Chapter 423 of the Acts of 1922 was enact- ed, section 640 of the Code of Virginia, 1919, made the divisi on superintendent ex-officio president of the county school b oa rd. Section 641 of the Code of Virginia, 1919, provides as follows: "It shall be the duty of the president to call meet- ings of the board whenever, in his judgment, such meetings are needed, and also when requested to do so by two chairmen of the district boards of the county." Section 643 of the Code of Virginia, 1919, required the county school board to hold a regular annual meeting in the month of July, the date thereof to be fixed by the board itself, or, if it failed to do so, by the president. It would seem from the provisions of section 3 of Chapter 423 of the Acts of 1922 that all the above sections are in force, except 80 far as the powers and duties conferred or imposed there- in are "inconsistent with the functioning of the county school board as the unit of operation of the public free school system in the county. In view of the fact that section 5 of Chapter 423 of the Acts of 1922 provides that the county school board at its first meeting shall select one of their number chairman, I have had some hesitation in holding that section 640 of the Code of Vir- president ginia, of the county school board, is still in force, but upon 1919, which makes the division superintendent ex-officio -3- reflection and in view of the last sentence 01 section 5 of Chapter 423 of the Acts of 1922, which provides that in a case where the board consists of an even number the division superintendent shall have a vote on any question in the case of a tie vote, and also in view of the fact that repeals by imp] instion are never favored, I am of the opinion that sec- tion 640 of the Code is still in force and effect, so far as it makes the division suporinvendent president of the county school board. Therefore, it is my opinion that the division superin- tendent can call a meeting of the county school board as pro- vided for in section 641 of the Code of Virginia, 1919. Trusting that this gives you the desired information. I am Yours very truly, Attorney General. BKR

The historical significance lies in the detailed legal interpretation of the statutes governing the county school board's operations and the division superintendent's role in calling meetings, shedding light on the administrative structures of public education in Virginia in the early 20th century.

To have this hearing on the 9th of July puts us, at least, in a posit- ion where one or the other of these cases must be postponed. When I talked with Dr. Orr about it, he indicated to me that there was no reason why you could not just as well fix it for Wednesday, the 14th of July as on Fruday, the 9th. Under the circunstances, I see no reason why this hearing can't be postponed until the 14th. Of course, you understand that our side of this case is particularly anxious to have it speedily disposed of. Yours very truly Maited 5:30 Jaly 3 Free E Correct Rec. A.M.

Emerick Purcellville, Virginia My dear Mr. Emerick: You will understand my position, I am sure, when I say that we unhesitatingly make surveys on invitation of the school board as a primary proposition. Whenever a question has been acted on by the school board and that question is on appeal, we have never injected this Department except on very emphatic invitation. I am quite willing to arrange for a survey commission composed of Mr. Combs, and probably Mr. Zehmer of the University, and Mr. Hoke of William and Mary, to come to Loudoun on July 6,if possible. This committee will make a study of the local situation and return here for a conference. If the findings of the committee can be made sufficiently definite and emphatic, I would unhesitatingly make some recommendation based upon its findings; but if the committee be frankly in doubt as to whether a survey report should be injected into a local matter on appeal, then I would reserve the right to communicate with you without a definite recommenda- tion. I am asking Mr. Combs to attempt to arrange this survey for the 6th or 7th. With best wishes, I am Yours very truly Henni Hark Harris Hart Superintendent of Public Instruction HH:P July 5. 1926.

My dear Mr. Garrett: Your letter dated July 2 in which you ack that the hearing of the Lincoln -Purcellville school case before the school trustee electoral board be postpone3 until July 14th was received on this \morning's mail. I note also your surprise that July 9th was set for the hearing. Please let me call attention to the fact that I have called two meetings of the school trustee electoral board for the expressed purpose of fixing a date for hearing this case. One meeting was held on June 10th and one on June 30th. Out of my earnest desire to fix a date greeable to all parties I notified attorneys for both sides of our purpose. In view of the facts of the notices it is extremely surprising to
see your expressions of surprise now. We have postponed the hearing three times because of your request and have now set July 9th as the final date, hoping this will be satisfactory to all. However, we will consider your suggestion of postponing it to July 14th if necessary. We are anxious to hear your side of the case and hope this matter can be resolved without further delay. Yours very truly, O. L. Emerick, Division Superintendent.
EWP 2-5A Petition Regarding Overcrowding and Curricular Concerns at Douglass High School (circa 1952)
This scanned document addresses overcrowded conditions and inadequate support for curricular requirements at Douglass High School in Leesburg, Virginia. The committee, appointed by the County-Wide League, authored the petition to urge the Loudoun County School Board to take action in preparation for the 1952–1953 school year. The document emphasizes that the school is in jeopardy of not meeting the standards set by the State Board of Education in Richmond, Virginia. It also notes that this is the third formal request to address the school's needs, with prior requests made in 1948 and again in 1950.

Loudoun County School Board, Leesburg, Va. Honorable Sirs: It having been brought to our attention that you contemplate closing the Arlington School and transporting the pupils to Lovettsville for the next term, we wish to go on record as unequivocally opposing such a change and as most respectfully requesting that this school be kept open. There are many reasons why we feel this school should remain open. We will not enumerate any of those that would apply with equal force to every community where schools have been or will be closed, but we do wish to call attention to a few reasons that apply especially to Arlington School,- A large part of the patrons of this school are people without means. They are unable to clothe their children and furnish lunches in the same manner that town children enjoy, They are at home and in the majority at Ar- lington. They are not forced out of school because they have been laughed at and have had an inferiority complex that may go through life with them forced on them, Another very unfortunate sequence to the closing of this school would be the loss of school consciousness by the entire community. The patrons would not follow the school activities to Lovettsville , where they feel they would not be wanted, Still another item is the fact that our roads are far from being adapted to bus transportation and with an average winter there would be weeks that a bus could not travel, Another item peculiar to this particular school is the fact that the attendance is sufficient to justify its continuance. An enrollment of 35 would mean the em- ployment of another teacher at Lovettsville with an added expense to the County. Many other reasons could be given why we so strong- ly urge you to continue the Arlington School. We do not wish to be tiresome 9 but will appreciate an opportunity of going into detail if the reasons given are not considered sufficient. Very truly yours, THE LOUDOUN COUNTY SHCOOL BOARD: We, the unders igned patrons of Arlington School in Lovettsville District, respectfully petition your Honorable Body to continue the school known as the Arlington School, and not close it and itransport pupils to Lovettsville School, as contemplated.

This letter, addressed to the Loudoun County School Board in Leesburg, Virginia, provides insight into the concerns of a community regarding the potential closure of the Arlington School and the transportation of students to Lovettsville for the next term. The letter emphasizes the importance of keeping the Arlington School open, particularly for students from families with limited means who may face challenges in accessing education elsewhere. The patrons highlight the negative impact of closing the school on the community's connection to education and express practical concerns about transportation and the cost implications of additional teachers. By petitioning the school board to reconsider their decision, the patrons of Arlington School demonstrate a strong commitment to preserving access to education for all students in their community.

I feel thirt this is a matter of EO fundomental importance to our whole school wystem in the quality that the delegation should have in careful hearing.

With best wishes, I am Yours very truly Banai Hart Harris Hart Superintendent of Public Instruction HH:P December 30. 1924. Mr. M. Is Combs, Richmond, Va. My dear Mr. Combs: I had hoped to see you yesterdny during my brief visit at the office in Richmond. I had one there to make arrangements with Mr. Heat to have a delegation of about tventy-five people from Lou- doun heard by the State Board on the high school situation. It has been necessary for me to defend you on a number of occasions since your reports same badil to our schools. One gentle- man stated he WAS goinggto write an article in the papers with you as the subject. I persunded him by considerable effort that such a course would be quite unresisonable nord he drouped the idea. Aldelegation has been organized in the county as follows: Each of six schools has elected three representative citizens anx the whole county schools board, the sumerintendent of schools, and commonwealth's attorney have been added thereto. This delegation has in it our?state senator a former delegate, four members of the boura of supervisors. two bank` preuidents, a number of bank directors, etc. It was proposed that the State Board be asked to modify it's ruling as to the attendance requirement so that in the case of schools already accredited there Fould be some discretion left ih the matter of accrediting schools with less than the minimum set up. Mr. Hart surgested to me that this seemed reasonable, that he Would confer with you nu Mr. Sanger an endeavor, if you tyree could spree, to work our a resolution to place before the State Bon i 3 atiits next meeting that would meet the situation and further to get advance sanction of the resolution by n sufficient mumber of members of the board beforehand 80 hat the necessity for the appearance of our delegation would be removed. agreed to this. After having had plenty of time to observe the reaction of of our people to the effect nx the new attenhinnee requirement is having and undoubtedly would have in the future on our high schools I reach the unalterable conclusion on that DO for you this county is concerned our schools as whole vill be seriously injured and the people will no have the proper confidence in their educational Page Mr. M. L. C. leaders if the present requirement stands and is enforced. For years we have been lenlin the people fin Loudoun toward the organization of standard high schools. The leadership and initistive came from outside the communities of the schools effected. Having led them thus far for a number of years ve propose to tell them 11 is all wrong. It ist not human natue to accede to the readonable ness of this. Any measure that would destroy at one fell stroke the confidence of one-half or more of the people of a County certainly must need careful re-consideration. I trust that you will think favorably of what Mr. Hant will suggest in this matter. I do not want you to think I was ignoring the KK pre-rogn- tives of your position in this matter. My visit to Mr. Hert was to make arrangements for the visit of our delegation. As I see it and have repeatedly stated you could only follow the regulations or the State Board now in effect and RNZEX ought not to be asked to depart from them in accrediting schools. With best wishes, I am, Very sincerely yours, Division Superintendent. Loudoun County COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION 1575 RICHMOND 990 9'00 December 31, 1924. 5 3465 Supt. O. L. Emerick Purcellville, Virginia $69.30 Dear Mr. Emerick: 23. Let me thank you for your letter of the 30th instant. I am very sorry indeed that I did not see you during your visit to the Department. I have not had an opportunity to confer with Mr. Hart with reference to the high school situation in Loudoun County, but I should be inclined to recommend to the State Board that we accredit the Waterford School in Loudoun for this session, because at present a small section of the road between Waterford and Leesburg is unimproved. of course, this would be upon condition that certain minor deficiencies, such as unsatisfactory sanitary conditions, be improved. The enrollment at Unison-Bloomfield is so very low that I should hesitate to recommend that it be accredited after this year. I am willing, however, to accredit this school for this session, even with its low enrollment, if the other conditions outlined in my previous letter to the principal are met. I can see no excuse for the existence of the Lucketts High School as a separate unit, since it is only six miles from Leesburg and on a splendid highway, but if some plan of consolidation between Lucketts and Leesburg can be effected by another year, I am willing to accredit Lucketts School this session. I realize that it was rather a shock to the people of these three communities to have these schools removed from the accredited list, and they certainly would not have been dropped if it had not been for the fact that I found them so far below the minimum standards for accrediting that I could not conscientiously accredit them under the regulations of the State Board of Education I see no necessity for the appearance of your delegation, and I am glad that you prevented it. I assure you this Department desires to do whatever is reasonable and right with respect to your division. However, I am not willing to ask the State Board of Education to change the standards for accrediting high schools in order to meet the conditions in one county. It would be far better, in my opinion, to make an exception in Loudoun than to change the State regulations. With best wishes, I am Sincerely yours Supervisor Secondary Education. MLC/D
In a series of letters exchanged in December 1924, there is evident tension between Division Superintendent O. L. Emerick from Loudoun County and State Supervisor of Secondary Education M. L. Combs regarding the accreditation of high schools in Loudoun County. Emerick expressed concern over the impact of new high school regulations on the county's school system and sought to arrange a meeting with Combs to discuss the issue. Combs, however, was hesitant to accredit certain schools due to deficiencies in enrollment and infrastructure, such as unsatisfactory sanitary conditions. Despite pressure from the community and proposed resolutions by Superintendent Hart, Combs remained firm in his decision to uphold State Board regulations. The exchange reflects the challenges faced by local education officials in navigating state regulations while maintaining the integrity of their school systems.
On May 10, 1926, Assistant Attorney General Leon M. Bazile of Richmond, Virginia, responded to a letter from Commonwealth's Attorney Cecil Connor of Leesburg regarding a dispute over the location of a new high school in the county. Bazile explained that under the relevant Code of Virginia sections, the division superintendent of schools had the authority to approve or disapprove plans and specifications for school construction. In this case, Bazile argued that as the site had been selected seventeen or eighteen years prior, the division superintendent did not have jurisdiction to disapprove the old site for the school. He suggested that the school trustee electoral board had jurisdiction to consider the appeal from the heads of families who had complained about the location and recommended that they proceed with the appeal process under the appropriate legal provisions. Bazile's response highlighted the complexities of educational governance and decision-making processes in local communities during the early 20th century.

Richmond, Va. May 10, 1926. Hon. Cecil Connor, Commonwealth's Attorney, Leesburg, Virginia. My dear Sir: Due to the necessary absence of the Attorney X General from the office today, he referred your letter of May 6, 1926 to me fun with the request that I answer the same as you desire a reply on or before tormorrov. It appears from the facts stated in your letter that about seventeen or eighteen years ago Et dispute arose in your county as to whether a new high school should be established in the village of Lincoln or the town of Pur- cellville, and that the board finally selected a site at Lincoln on which the school was later erected. You fur- there state that in Margh, 1926, the building was destroyed by fire; that on April 10, 1926, the county school board at its regular session considered the matter of erecting a new building at shich time certain persons request- ed that the site be changed, but, after due consideration. the county board unanimously decided to erect the new build- ing on the old site at the village of Lincoln, and that within the staturoty period, under authority ofsection 666 of the D Code, as amended, more than five heads of families filed their complaint in writing with the division superin- tendent of schools who, being unable within ten days after the receipt of the same to satisfactorily ad ust the matter, granted an appeal to the school trustee electoral boa rd. The last mentioned board met to consider the matter on April 26, 1926. That board dedicded that it was without authority to entertain the appeal because the superintendent of schools had not approved the site, location, plans and specifications therefor as require3 by section 673 of the Code. Thereupon on April 27, 1926, the division superintendent of schools attempted to "officially express" his "disapproval of the location for a new school to be erected in Mt. Gilead district at Lincoln on the former site as decided by your board at its meeting on April 10, 1926. This decision is made in accord- ance with the Code of Virginia, section 673." You then ask the following questions: "Does there now arise the right of appeal from this action of the Division Superintendent? If so, to what body does the appeal lie- to the electoral board or to the court or to the superintender 1 of public instruction? And who has the right of appeal? Can the county board appeal from the veto - that is, action of the division superintendent in disapproving decision of the county board?" You will recall that section 673 of the Code, SO far as is applicable to the question here under consideration, reads as follows: -2- "No school house shall be contracted for or erected until the bite, location, plans and Specifications therefor shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the division superintendent of schools, whose action in each case shall be reported by him to the State Board of Education; " (Italics supplied). In the case before us for consideration on the facts stated in your letter the site of the high school was selected seventeen or eighteen years ago. Therefore, when the county school board decided to rebuild on the oli site they did not relocate a new site, or select a new location, and the only power conferred upon the division superintendent of schools, under section 673 of the Code, is to approve or disapprove the plans and specifications therefork. It is my opinion that in this case he is without jurisdiction to disapprove the old site or location, as that was selected and approved seventeen or eighteen years ago, and, being without authority to disapprove the action of the county school bo rd in this particular, his approval likewise is not necessary as the school board has not selected a new site or location. This being true, when the division super- intendent of schools could not satisfactorily adjust the complaint of the more than five heads of families referred to in your letter, he followed the proper procedure in granting an appeal to the school trustee electoral board, and that board new has jurisdiction of that appeal under section 666 of the Code of Virginia, 1919, as amended. It is my opinion that the board was in error when it decided that it was without jurisdiction. I would, therefore, suggest that the school trustee electoral board now proceed to consider the appeal under section 666 of the Code, as amended. Trusting that this gives you the desired information, I am, Very truly yours, (Signed) Leon M. Bazile Assistant Attorney General. BKR Copy to - Hon. Wilbur C. Hall Leesburg, Va. Hon. 0. L.

In March 1945, the County-Wide League of Loudoun County, represented by President J.W. Wanzer and Secretary Mrs. E. Sandford, submitted a letter to the Loudoun County School Board outlining recommendations for improvements in the education system. The recommendations included consolidation of schools for decreased teacher workload, adequate transportation, supplies, and facilities for Negro students. The letter emphasized the need for immediate attention to building repairs, supplies, services, and transportation for various schools in the county. The League expressed appreciation for the Board's support of equal opportunities for Negro students and pledged to support an increased tax rate to fund these improvements. The letter reflects the activism and advocacy efforts of local organizations in Loudoun County during the era of segregated education.

Be cause ns In looking By Reason We fuild The we present very cap. plan. our cannot believe our die. is not This deley is comp. The elected rep. Thirdel, if united we are unite a Present Connor We are here today to ask some relief from a very discourag- ing future in prospect for our high schools in Loudoun County. Be- cause we were more progressive in education than most of our sister counties when the high school wave started we have there now one two-year and nine four-year accredited high schools, not too many by even one if we propose to accept the principle of equal educational opportunity for all the children of all the people and if we propose to endeavor to lead the more backward communities into better things educational. In looking forward to a preparation of our school budget for next year our county faces this situation. By reason of a sparse and slightly decreasing population the enrollment X in most of our high schools is low. We find that regulations now in existence which prescribe the attendance require- ments for high schools, will, if carried into full effect, remove from the accredited list next year our Junior and seven of our four- year schools. Our very capable and over-worked State Supervisor of High Schools has stated to me orally during a recent visit that we could expect these regulations to be put into full effect next year. The present plan of accrediting schools has been so long in vogue and our present high schools have been so long accredited that it would seem unwise to operate them unless accredited. We can not believe that this board is SO wedded to any set of rules that with full knowledge of the true situation as we shall present it to you, there can be left any thought on your part of permitting regulations SO drastic and retroactive in their effect to obtain in our case. Our delegation is not here to fi nã fault with any of the State School Authorities but rather to give information, to present a view-point, and if a difference of opinion, at least an honest one. We appreciate the courtesy of being allowed this opportunity of being heard. This delegation is composed of the County School Board, three elected representatives from each of six high schools, and our Commonwealth's Attorney. The elected representatives from the six schools number among them our State Senator, a former member of the House of Delegates, four members of the board of supervisors, two bank presidents, a number of bank directors, former members of the county school board, presidents of Community leagues. This dele- gation, gentlemen, if united upon any other issue as upon this one could control the action of Loudoun County upon that issue regardless of any opposition that might arise. I mean by this our people have confidence in their combined judgment. We are united in believing that the high schools accredited in Louioun County prior to the present year should be continued in their former status upon the condition that they meet satisfactorily all requirements except the enrollment and this is what we ask. I wish at this time to present to you our Commonwealth's Attorney, Mr. Cecil Connor. Mr. Connor is not with us as a paid attorney but merely as a friend of our schools and a believer in the fairness of what we request. areas Hills 10w Ashbum 81 Road Hill - 24 Luicoln 5L 62 aldie 82 Waterfard 27 Lucketts 32 Leesbuy U-B. 62 62 519 Lonthsville- 46 ARGUM NTS FOR THE CONTINUATION OF OUR PRESENT HICH SCHOOL SYSTEM 1. The high schools have been a help to the elementary grades. a. They have been responsible for a number of consolidations of small one and two-room schools. b. The children in the grades look forward to entering the high school with keener interest where it is in their same school. C. Benefits from competent high school principals have accrued to the elementary gradex children. 2. The high schools have been responsible for greater community interest through the leadership of competent high school faculties and the schools are now located at natural community centers. The loss of any high school will deaden this community interest. 3. The schools have been established through the initiative of persons connected with the State school system no living in the several communi- ties and the discontinuation of these schools will destroy the confidence of the people of a school community in the ability of the State System to lead them and will deaden interest in public education. 4. Whether transportation is or can be provided, a too larger percentage of our children will be deprived of the opportunity of a high school eudeation. Others will avail themselves of the provilege only XM by Page 2 going to another school as boarders in the community which is both ex- pensive and unwise on account of the removal of parental control at ages when it is most needed. 6. 5. Each community has given much effort and money for the establishment of the high school and their removal will be betrayal of the people. 6. The abandonment of the smaller high school is another entering wedge sending more people from farms to town. 7. The county of Loudoun pays most of the cost and is better able to support such a high school system as we now have than practically any
other county in the State. 8. The slight decrease that has oc- curred in school population is not due to actual decrease in population but to the decrease- in number of children born during the war per- iod. The experts tell us that we now have on hand only about half of our normal school -population and they tell 11s further that the present low school -population will continue in the schools for more than ten, years. At the end of that time, our school population will again be normal. The high schools we have built and are proposing to maintain are for that school population. 9. The cost of edu- cating the pupils in high school seems great just now but we will repeat the ancient debate that it is better and cheaper to educate than it is to govern. What will be the outcome from uneducated people in a democracy? The home and the school to certify high school graduates that it is better and cheaper to educate than it to govern.

The individual references submitting their query to a disinterested party, likely seeking an impartial judgment. The language used suggests a level of formality and respect for the legal process, indicating a desire to follow the correct procedures. The mention of considering various methods and seeking the best course suggest a cautious and deliberate approach to decision-making. Overall, the text reflects a mindset of careful consideration and adherence to established guidelines, perhaps indicative of a time when legal matters were approached with great care and attention to detail.

Order of Circuit Court of Loudoun County, June 18, 1926 6. This matter was this day heard upon the petition of Mercer Love and others for an appeal from the action of the county trustee electoral board in denying jurisdiction in the matter of the appeal to it from the action of the county school board in determining to replace a certain highs school building destroyed by fire at Lincoln rather than at Purcellville both in Mt. Gilead district in Loudoun County and the court being of the opinion that the action of the county a chool board of Aprill10, 1926 as shown by said tition was appealable to the trustee electoral board but that the action of the trustee electoral board in declining action thereon for the reasons stated in its order of April 26th was unwarranted and did not amount to such a decision of the questions at issue by reason of said appeal as to warrant an appeal to and an exercise of the jurisdiction of this court under section 666 of the Code at this time. The court 10th so determine and on motion of the county school board doth dismiss the said appeal to this court and remand this case and the record therein to the county trustee electoral board for such further action as it may deem proper in the premises the court being of opinion that it whould consider and determine said appeal on its merits.
On June 18, 1926, the Order of Circuit Court of Loudoun County addressed a petition from Mercer Love and others regarding an appeal from the county trustee electoral board's decision to deny jurisdiction in a case concerning the replacement of a high school building in Mt. Gilead district. The court acknowledged that the county school board's initial decision to replace the school at Lincoln instead of Purcellville was appealable to the trustee electoral board. However, the court deemed the board's subsequent refusal to take action unwarranted and insufficient in addressing the issues at hand. The appeal to the circuit court was dismissed, and the case was remanded back to the trustee electoral board for further consideration. Ultimately, the court emphasized the importance of a thorough review of the appeal on its merits.

Page 12 .com by of Hancestry Downloaded on May 17, 2021 Twelve Hope For Rain In State Soon Is Held Elusive Showers Bring Relief Called Temporary' by Weatherman Black storm clouds gathering yes- terday buoyed the hopes of farmers that the drought which has held the major part of the State for a month was about to be ended, but the exulta- tion was short-lived for the clouds proved to hold only light showers hardly sufficient to lay the dust. An all-night rain fell in Northern Virginia Monday night, but this was the one section which needed it least, according to Henry M. Taylor, State- Federal agricultural statistician. Showers yesterday were quite gen- eral over the State, the Richmond weather man reported. However, he said, any relief realized from the moisture was "very temporary." Fair, Cooler Predicted Generally fair and cooler was his prediction for today, and he said he could see no relief for the drought- stricken farms and gardens at least for the rest of this week. Two barns in Loudoun County were ignited by lightning and destroyed Monday night with their contents of feed and farming implements, accord- ing to a report from Leesburg received yesterday. One was the property of R. L. Templeman, dairyman, who lives near Leesburg, and the other belonged to Carl Wynkoop, whose farm is near Unison. It was reported that a heavy rain accompanied this storm. Carl Wynkoop Farm Clipped By: roederaway5201 Mon, May 17, 2021 POWERED BY Newspapers™ TM Copyright © 2021 Newspapers.com.

The text from The Times Dispatch on May 20, 1936, reflects the impact of a severe drought in Virginia during that time. Weatherman Black's forecast of rain brought temporary hope to farmers, but ultimately only light showers fell, offering little relief. The drought had already caused significant damage to farms and gardens, with two barns in Loudoun County being destroyed by lightning during a storm. This event underscored the devastating effects of the drought on local agricultural communities. Despite the scattered showers reported across the state, the overall outlook remained grim, with little prospect of substantial rain to alleviate the drought-stricken conditions in the foreseeable future. This historical text serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by farmers during this period of environmental hardship.

EWP 2-5B Yr 1926 June 5 School Construction Guidelines

COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION RICHMOND June 5, 1926 Supt. O.L. Emerick Purcellville, Virginia My dear Mr. Emerick: In accordance with your request of June 3rd I am herewith handing you data and information gathered by this division concerning school building costs. In 1924 we made a rather elaborate and detailed comparison of school building costs, selecting buildings in different sections of the State of the multiple story and the single story type, attempting as far as possible to select buildings of about the same quality of construction, i.e. multiple story buildings were selected of brick, with wood partitions and floors, auditorium, central heating plant, usually of steam, inside toilets, electric lights, office, library, etc., and the same conditions maintained in single story structures selected for comparison. You will note by referring to the charti under "School Building Costs" that according to the N.E.A. Candle of Efficiency in school house planning that in practically every item the single story structure excelled the multiple story structure. By referring to the graphs indicating the comparative costs you will note that the multiple story structure costs 15.93c per CU. ft. while the one story costs 11. 40 per cu. ft. The multi- ple story costs $4.62 per sq. ft. of instructional floor area while the one story costs $3.61 per sq. ft. of instructional floor area. The differ- ence in these costs comes about in several ways. First: The actual corridor space utilized in the one story plans prepared by this division is negligible while it is necessary to specify rather expensive corridors in multiple story buildings, and it costs about as much per sq. ft. of floor area to build corridors as it costs to build classrooms and auditoriums. Second: The single story type of construction utilizes short timbers throughout except in a few cases where long spans are necessary. In the major portion of the construction, however, girders resting on piers run under the classrooms, and 2 X 10's in 12' lengths are employed for floor joists, whereas in the multiple type of construction, particularly on the second floor, it is necessary to use 2 X 12's, 12" O.C., 24 long as floor joists. These timbers are expensive and difficult to get. For the ceiling joists and roof rafters we use a lattice truss over the classrooms and can safely use 2 X 6's, 12' long, which are relative very inexpensive. COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION RICHMOND Third: We have no stairways, or only a few steps where stairs do occur, which very materially effects the cost in view of the fact that stair- ways usually cost about three times as much per cubic ft. as plain classroom construction costs per cubic ft. Fourth: There is very little load on the walls above the foundation wall, thereby making it quite possible to use an 8" wall broken with pilasters, thus considerably reducing the cost of masonry. This cost effects both the cost of masonry and the steel supporting the masonry. Fifth: We have found by experience that a one story building erected as nearly as possible on a level site is the least expensive type of construction, and we therefore do not provide any rooms in the sub-floor or basement, except the boiler and fuel room, unless the grade is such that rooms can be provided on one or more sides of the building with little or no excavation. Sixth: By statutory requirement fire escapes must be provided for the multiple story type of school building whereas on the single story type this is entirely unnecessary, as the buildings are practically 100% fire and panic safe, which eliminates another item of cost. Seventh: The cost of getting materials to the second floor and higher in the multiple story type of construction is a material item of increased cost for this type of construction. This applies both to the masonry and timbers. The higher a building is constructed there is a corresponding increase in cost in getting the materials in place. The above represents the chief points in connection with increased costs, as we have found them, in the multiple story type of construction as contrasted with the single story type of construction. I want to make very clear that the above comparisons, as well as the comparisons on the enclosed chart, must be made with the thought very definitely in mind that the buildings are similar in quality of construction. It would be absurd to make a statement that either type of building is more or less expensive than the other without qualifying the statement to the effect that they are to all intents and purposes similar in quality of construction and materials incor- porated in the construction; but on the basis of the investigations which we made in 1924 and as outlined above, in our mind there is no question as to the relative cost of the two types of construction, keeping in mind the fact that similar qualities of construction and materials are employed. Relative your second question with reference to the cost for maintain- ing this office, and the total value of buildings has erected from plans furnished by this Department, I wish to say that the cost/ X8 varied over a peried of years from 1920 to 1925, due to the fact that we have occasionally added an additional man to the division. In 1920 I alone was working the program on a part-time basis. In 1921 an assistant was added. In 1922 an additional assistant wax added. In 1925 a third assistant was added. The operating expenses for 1925, representing
the salaries of three assistants besides the superintendent, a clercial assistance and some office supplies ran 50 thousand dollars. The total cost for maintaining the office including the salaries of two specialist in school finances and a composite structure man who spent the major portion of his time at the building projects cost 60 thousand dollars. This cost is a very small part of the value of the buildins erected from our plans. Hoping that the above data may be of interest and value t you, I am Φ Respectfully yours, ¦ ¦ Director of Division of School Plant Planning and Construction.

This text appears to be a list of names and ages, along with the distances they live from school. The names are predominantly English, suggesting a Western society, likely in the early to mid-20th century based on the names and handwriting style. The mention of children of varying ages and the distances they live from school indicates a focus on education and perhaps transportation challenges in the community. The use of both first and last names, as well as familial relationships (such as siblings listed together), suggests a close-knit community where individuals are easily identifiable and connected. The inclusion of both age and distance from school demonstrates a level of detail in record keeping, possibly indicating a bureaucratic or official nature to the document. Overall, this text provides insight into the local community dynamics and education practices of the time period.

EWP 2-5B Yr 1926 July Correspondence between O.T Emerick and Harris Hart - Decision of Virginia State School Board not to intervene in Lincoln-Purcellville School location issue.
Two letters dated July 1926 between Superintendent Emerick and Harris Hart, Superintendent of Public Instruction regarding the location of the Lincoln-Purcellville High School. The issue was brought before the circuit court, which ruled that the school trustee electoral board had jurisdiction. The first letter is addressed to Superintendent Harris Hart dated July 1, 1926 from Superintendent Emerick. (missing second page.) The School Board Trustee electoral Board decided to hear the case on July 9th. The board passed a resolution requesting a committee of 3 make careful study of the matter and make recommendations regarding the school's location. It was advised this committee would have experts whose expenses were already budgeted to cover their expenses. The second letter (O.T Emerick to Harris Hart) The committee of three was made up of Mr. Combs, Mr. Smithey and Mr. Hoke. However, a memorandum report by this committee suggested the dispute was local between these two communities. This lead the Department of Education to decline involvement.

July 1, 1926. Hon. Harris Hart, Richmond, Va. My dear Mr. Hart: The Lincoln-Purcellville school case has been before the judge of the circuit court on direct appeal after the school trustee electoral board had decided it was without jurisdiction. The judge ruled that the case was appealable to the school trustee electoral board and remanded it to them. Our school trustee electoral board decideà yesterday to hear the case on Friday, July 9th. In arrangeing other preliminary matters that board adopted E resolution requesting that you send a committee of three to make a careful study of the entire matter and after an impartial study recommend to our board a proper location for the building. I hope it will be possible for you to comply with this request and that the committee will be able to have a recommenation ready by the 9th of July. We have no definite provision for handing the expense of this committee and it will be much safer if you can have persons on the committee whose expense accounts are already provided for although we can, if necessary, make provision for the expenses. With best wishes, I am Very sincerely yours, COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION RICHMOND July 8, 1926 Loudoun County: C. & R. Superintendent 0. L. Emerick Purcellville, Virginia My dear Mr. Emerick: Mr. Combs has submitted a memorandum report which, though not signed by Mr. Smithey and Mr. Hoke, the other two members of the committee, seems to represent the view of the whole committee. This view is that in the question on appeal before the electoral board as to whether the school burned at Lincoln should be reestablished at Lincoln or at Purcellville, no broad educational policy appears to be involved. There seems no question of general high school consolidation, but it rather appears that the problem is purely a local one as between two communities less than two miles apart. The memorandum asserts that the question is so clearly local and not general, and so slightly involves any question of general educational policy, that the Depart- ment of Education can not with propriety inject itself into this dispute. I must therefore exercise the right reserved in my letter to you of July 2, and say that in view of the memorandum submitted to me it would appear to be entirely improper for this Department to attempt to inject itself into a dispute which appears to be so purely a local one.

In July 1926, a dispute arose regarding the location of the Lincoln-Purcellville school in Virginia. The issue was brought before the circuit court, which ruled that the school trustee electoral board had jurisdiction. The board then decided to hear the case on July 9th and requested a committee from the State Board of Education to make recommendations regarding the school's location. However, a memorandum report suggested that the dispute was purely local and did not involve broader educational policy, leading the Department of Education to decline involvement. Superintendent Harris Hart conveyed that the department would not intervene in what was deemed a local matter between two nearby communities. This case highlights the complexities and challenges faced in determining school locations and governance at the local level during the early 20th century.

February 13, 1945 Mrs. Mildred Jackson, Pres. Parent-Teacher Association and Community League Middleburg, Virginia Dear Mrs. Jackson: I have your letter of recent date in reference to setting the date and hour of meeting to discusstthe transaction required to purchase a lot at Middleburg. I shall try to see Dr. Edmead at an early date and discuss with him the problems that are en- volved in purchasing this lot. I understand that he is the chairman of your committee. There is not much we can do about purchasing a lot at a meeting of the committee until and unless we have some definite sites in mind. I think that it was explained in the presence of the committee at the School Board Meeting that we should have five acres of land. I have been waiting on this matter to give Dr. Booth and the committee some time in which to make some inquiry as to the poss- ibility for a lot, Very sincerely yours, 0. L.

He also highlighted the requirement for five acres of land, as agreed upon at a previous School Board Meeting.

June 22, 1926. The county school board of Loudoun County, by its attorneys this day appeared in court and moved the Court to correct its order heretofore entered in this cause at the present term of this court, which motion the counsel for the appelant resisted. And whereupon the Court granted the motion of the said county school board, SO as to show that the motion of said board was to dismiss the appeal and the petition of the appelant and that the said board did not move to remand this case to the county trustee electoral board as set out in set order but the Court remanded said case of its own motion to which action of the court in remanding said case, the said county school board objected and except as to the action of said court, in dismissing the said appeal the said board objects to the opinion of the court as set in said order, especially that portion of said oinion holding "that the action of the County School Board of April 10, 1926, as shown by said petition was appealable to the Trustee Electoral Board".
On June 22, 1926, the county school board of Loudoun County appeared in court to request a correction to the order previously entered in the case. The court, upon hearing arguments from both sides, granted the motion of the school board to dismiss the appeal and petition of the appellant. However, the court also remanded the case of its own accord, which led to objections from the school board. Specifically, the school board objected to the court's opinion that the action of the County School Board on April 10, 1926, as detailed in the petition, was appealable to the Trustee Electoral Board. This legal dispute sheds light on the complexities of educational governance at the time, as well as the power dynamics between different governmental bodies.

Letter from attorney James H. Raby to Superintendent O.L. Emerick regarding the Loudoun County School Board’s denial of a PTA request concerning the use of the Baptist Church basement in Middleburg as a classroom. Raby asks whether the basement will be used indefinitely or only for the current school term, citing confusion among parents and patrons. He also references a January 31, 1945 resolution forming committees (PTA and School Board) to investigate the purchase of a school lot, and requests clarification on whether land has been purchased or selected to relieve overcrowding at Middleburg.

OFFICE TELEPHONE RESIDENCE TELEPHONE ALEXANDRIA 6241 LINCOLN 7295 LAW OFFICES OF JAMES H. RABY 526 NORTH PATRICK STREET ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA March 10, 1945 Mr. 0. L. Emerick Division Superintendant County School Board Loudoun County Leesburg, Virginia. Dear Mr. Emerick: I have in my possession a letter dated March 1, 1945, in which was addressed to Mrs. Mildred Jackson, president of the PTA of Middlesburg, Virginia. In the first paragraph of your letter you stated that the school board denied the request of the PTA; that is, the dis- continuance of the Baptist Church basement at Middlesburg for a school room. Please advise me if the basement is to be used for an indefinite time or is it the intention of the school board that this basement be used just for the duration of the school term. If you will explain this to me then I think we can have a better understanding concerning the use of that basement which has caused much contintion. A resolution was adopted at a meeting held by the school board on January 31, 1945, that a committee would be appointed from the PTA to work in conjunction with a committee from the school board for the purpose of purchasing a lot for the school board. With this in mind, it seems to me that the congested conditions at Middlesburg could be releived by the next school term and I would appreciate a statement from you with reference to whether or not such lot has been purchased or if there has been any definite site selected. Very truly yours, JAMES H. RABY JHR: mbs March 14, 1945 Page 2 Mr. Raby, This area should have a new school building for colored children but it is nut needednany more that at Purcellville not at Sterling for white children. I do not think the need is any greater than it is for additional space at the Douglass High School. There are also some very positive needs for additional space for some white schools in this County. We expect and intend to take care of these projects as soon as it seems reasonable to do so and upon the condition that the funds are made avallable to pay for the additional cost to the County School Board.

Emerick Division Superintendent OLE:MA March 14, 1945 Page 2 Mr. Raby, This area should have a new school building for colored children but it is nut needednany more that at Purcellville not at Sterling for white children. I do not think the need is any greater than it is for additional space at the Douglass High School. There are also some very positive needs for additional space for some white schools in this County. We expect and intend to take care of these projects as soon as it seems reasonable to do so and upon the condition that the funds are made avallable to pay for the additional cost to the County School Board. If you and the people at Middleburg will cooperate with the School Board your project will move along very much faster than it will if you do otherwise.

This historical correspondence from March 1945 between James H. Raby, a lawyer representing the PTA of Middlesburg, Virginia, and O. L. Emerick, Division Superintendent of the County School Board of Loudoun County, sheds light on the challenges faced in providing adequate educational facilities for colored children in the segregated South. Raby's letter expresses concern over the denial of discontuing use of a Baptist Church basement as a school room, highlighting the overcrowded conditions in Middlesburg. Emerick responds, acknowledging the need for a new school building for colored children in the area, while also emphasizing the importance of addressing the needs of white schools. The exchange underscores the complex and discriminatory educational policies of the time, as well as the ongoing struggles for adequate resources and facilities for African American students in Virginia's segregated school system.
Petition addressed to O.L. Emerick, Superintendent, and members of the Loudoun County School Board from citizens of Loudoun County. The petitioners respectfully request that the Board build and maintain an accredited, up-to-date high school for the “colored children of our said County.” They state that the Board is maintaining 23 public schools for African American children, and argue that “our race is justly entitled to at least one High School in the County.” Without such a facility, families are compelled to send their children outside the county to complete their education. The petitioners pledge private contributions to support the effort, noting that “there are other sources of aid such as the Rosenwald and other funds,” but emphasize that this funding must be supplemented by a public appropriation from the Board. They close by affirming that “this request is a fair and reasonable one under the circumstances.” The document includes signatories in support.

We propose by private contributions to raise all the funds that we can – which we believe will not be inconsiderable – and, as we are informed, there are other sources of aid such as the Rosenwald and other funds for this purpose which need, of course, to be supplemented by an appropriation by your Board out of Public Funds.

Colored Teachers of Loudoun, March 1926
On March 6, 1926, a group of "Colored" teachers in Loudoun County, Virginia gathered at Round Hill to present a petition to the Loudoun County School Board through Division Superintendent O.L. Emerick. The petition highlighted the teachers' inadequate salaries in comparison to the high cost of living and their belief that their duties warranted higher pay. The teachers requested a reasonable increase in pay and included signatures from educators such as C.L. Murray, Rosa Carter, and Annie E. B. Harris. Despite their efforts, Emerick responded on March 12 that the Board was unable to allocate additional funds for a salary increase at the time. This exchange sheds light on the challenges faced by African American educators in seeking fair compensation during the early 20th century.
Petitioners object to the proposed purchase of land adjacent to the colored high school in Leesburg, Virginia, which borders the Union Cemetery and U.S. Route 15. They express concern that the location is unsuitable for future expansion of facilities for Black students, as only a few children attending the school live north of Market Street. The petition argues that the land would be better reserved for the cemetery’s expansion and that a school site should instead be located closer to the main Black residential community.

We are in favor of doing all that can be done within reason for the colored children of the community, but we think this can be done best be selecting the most desirable location for a permanent investment and that this should be as close as possible to the most thickly populated colored section of the community.

This text is a petition addressed to the Loudoun County School Board, expressing concern over their plan to purchase land adjacent to the colored high school in Leesburg, Virginia. The petitioners argue that the land is needed for the expansion of the nearby Union Cemetery, which serves as a burial ground for the community. They also point out that only a few colored children attending the high school actually live north of Market Street, where the proposed land is located. The petitioners believe that the location of the land is not suitable for the future needs of the colored children's education, given its remote nature and distance from where the majority of the students reside.

This letter, dated February 6, 1946, from the Parent-Teacher Association and Community League of Grant School in Middleburg, Virginia to Mr. O. L. Emerick, District Superintendent of Schools in Loudoun County, Leesburg, reveals a strong disagreement over the selection of a site for a new school. The committee expresses disappointment over Mr. Emerick's decision to choose a site in St. Louis instead of the previously proposed location in Middleburg. They outline several reasons for their opposition, including the inadequate infrastructure, swampy land, lack of amenities, and absence of necessary leadership and community support in St. Louis. The committee argues that a school built in St. Louis would not be as successful or well-received as one in Middleburg, pointing out the importance of a conducive environment for education and community engagement. This letter provides valuable insight into the social and educational dynamics of the time, highlighting the complexities and challenges of school site selection in a racially segregated society.

Gentlemen. Inexpressing myself in favor of rebuilding John ward the high school Lincoln. I do so with all due times have shown they the spirit of goodfellowship respect to the citizens of Purcellville. who at different But I feel that asking that this school be built in Purcellville That they are not viewing this proposition I am naturly very much interested in having a from its broadest point good school at Lincoln. I have therefore given the matter considerable thought. and feel that due consideration in the matter of schools. that part of the district is certanly intilled to after thinking the proposition over thousoughly I Come to thing westoonable conclusion. that Lincoln is more centrally located in the section to be accomodaliz by this high school than Purcelloille By removing this school to Pun. it would be two miles nearer R Hill high school and two miles nearer Hillsborough high school. five between it and Hillsborough making three High schools in Leaving a distance of only Smiles between Hand R. Hill and a radius of practicaly five miles. Bay doing this it would be two miles farther from a section which does not have access to any other high school in less than a distance of from five to ten miles. and that mostly over bad roads. The district has furnished the children of Run. transportation to the high school at Lincoln and I suppose they expect to continue to. while the children of the country side of which I yeak have had the care privatedy of geting there the best way the can I dont feel that itwould be proper to remove this high school two miles farther from this section which is already at somewhat of a disadvantage. to accomodate a section which has allready moderably convenient access to schools. and gentlemen aside from the facts which I have stated which I feel is good and sufficient reason for rebuilding the high school at Lincoln. There is another angle from which I feet that the matter should be viewed and that is from the angle of moral justice I am not as well informed on how these schools have been built at Lincoln as some of the older citizens. but learn They have not or only giventhier money to build that they were build largely by private subscription these schools but have also giventheir time and encouragement high standard to maintain these schools at a comunity the but allso for the benefit of other parts not only for the benefit of the very of district and county. (Purellville included) the hig school distroyed by fire to take this school now that they h have had the misfortune of having from their community to build it in another would be a great injustice. In proposing to take this school which had been built practicaly bythem at a time when there was only one other high school in the county. if any. Therefore being of great benefit to all parts of the district and county you are touching a very tender spot in the hearts of there people who have looked to this school with great pride and with the feeling that it was one of their greater achievements. In my opinion it would not only be a great injustice to these people to take this school from them, But allso a most flagrant display of ingratitude. In other words should an old accuantance be forgot. I therefore ask that in the name of justice and moral duty to these people that the high school be rebuilt Lincoln. we are not asking for specia favor we are only asking justice, and what we feel is best for the district at large, and not what is best for any one particular community
This text, written by an anonymous author advocating for the rebuilding of John W. Lincoln High School in Purcellville, provides valuable insight into the historical context of education and community dynamics in the area. The author emphasizes the long-standing tradition of private subscription in the building and maintenance of schools in the district, highlighting the sense of pride and accomplishment associated with these educational institutions. The text also underscores the importance of geographical considerations, arguing that relocating the high school to Purcellville would disadvantage certain sections of the community while benefiting others. Ultimately, the author calls for justice and moral duty in preserving the legacy of the high school at its original location, reflecting the complex societal relationships and values of the time. This plea for equity and community cohesion sheds light on the historical significance of local education and civic engagement in Purcellville during this period.

This text appears to be a historical record of land measurements and property boundaries in a specific area. The measurements provided, such as chains, acres, and compass directions, suggest that this information was likely recorded in the 19th or early 20th century. The presence of a cottage and a schoolhouse on the land indicate that it was used for both residential and educational purposes. The use of chains for measurement suggests that this record was made before the adoption of the metric system in many countries. This text provides valuable insight into the geography and land use of the area at the time it was recorded, and can help historians understand how the land was utilized in the past.

Philomont, Va. May, 20, 1926. Mr. O.L. Emerick, Purcellville, Va. My dear Mr. Emerick, On April, 10th., the School Board met at Pircellville; to hear petitioners with reference to re-building the Lincoln High School. After hearing the arguments of the patrons and tax-payers of both Lincoln and Purcellville, the board voted unanimously to re-build the : school at Lincoln, on the old site. More than thirty days have now passed and nothing has been done in the way of re-building. In your letter to memembers of the School Board and others, you state that, had no appeal been taken, it was your Intention to approve the action of the board, but as an appeal had been filed, you now disapprove the :action of the board and call upon that board to meet and select a new site: It seems to me Mr. Emerfck, that even though you did disapprove of re-building at Lincoln, you would not attempt under any circumstances to change : the action of the School Board, especially as It cast a unanimous for the Lincoln site. If the board had been divided, or if at least one member had voted against re-building at Lfncoln, there might be some: excuse for your action in not approving the the site. I understand that the petitioners for an appeal were principally from Jefferson Dist., Why should Jefferson Dist., tell Mt. Gflead Dist., where:to build its High School? It seems only reasonable:that, If the Lincoln High School is to be done away with, that the people of this dist., should be so acix advised and given a chance to select a new site. While: realize that the school located at Purcellville; would be an asset to the town just as it would to any other town or community, at the : same:time, if it were made knownthat it as to be : moved, other sections would no doubt bfd for It as well as Purceilville. I have been told by one of the leading citizens of Purcellville; that it was their intention to locate the building on the Love property, which would mean that the new location would be not much more : than one mile from the present site. With the : valuable property at Lincoln, do you think it wise to sacrifice this property in order to move the building a distance of one mile? The : Lincoln High School, has certainly been a success, decidedly the : most successful one in Loudoun County, Then why think of moving it to some other place? The children from Purcellville, have a good hard road all the way a distance of about two mfles, They have a $1000 bus with a paid driver to transport them to the school house door, all expenses being paid out of the dist., school fund. While the children from other parts of the dist., have to travel over all kind of roads a distance of six, eight or ten miles and furnish their own transportation. Let the : school be re-built at Lincoln, where it rightfully belongs and let the work of re-building be : started in order to have : the : building ready by Sept., 1st., You will recall the crititism directed at you a few years ago by a citizen of Middleburg, for not installing a furnace during the vacation period and which necessitated closing the school a part of the next term while this work was being done. Bon't let this happen with building the Lincoln High School. Yours very truly 2 Mr. O. L. Emerick, Purcellville, Va. Dear Mr. Emerick : - A Supervisor who lived in this section some years ago refused to vote for a bridge for the reason that he was unwilling to place himself in a position to be charged with putting personal interest or benefit before the general need of his district as a. whole. He lived within a short distance of the proposed bridge. I might also add that he did not change his attitude toward this particular bridge during his tenure of office and died years a few since leaving a most enviable record, both as a county officer and as a broad-minded citizen. Mr. Emerick, your action in withholding approval of the County School Board's decision to rebuild Lincoln High School, is open to question as to whether you have not permitted local and personal interest to control your opinion in this instance, rather than the needs and desires of the district and county as a whole. . We have your written and spoken admission that you would approve the site selected by the board. Personally, I feel that your town and community have as much to gain- if you could but realize it- as we and the other out-lying 2 communities have by maintaining this high school at this IDEAL location, where the environment is better, in my opinion, than we could find in any other community in the county. Then too, there is the moral.responsibility involved, which no official or supporter of another location, can shun, that this building was built with private funds, subscribed by individuals and friends of Lincoln community, for a high school at a specific place, Lincoln and not at Purcellville, or any other place, but at Lincoln. And altho presented to the county as a gift and perhaps without legal strings tied to it, nevertheless, this moral issue will ever arise, is it right? I ask you Mr. Emerick, as man to man, is it right? Is it right to use this money in erecting a school building at any other place than where the donors specified? Many of them have passed into the great beyond and left no spokes- men to express their wishes at this time. Can You? Can I? Can any one lightly assume the moral responsibility of using their money in erecting 8. school building at any other place? Surely, if Mt. Gilead school patrons and tax-oayers must pay in taxes whatever debt is incurred in replacing this building, the will of the majority should rule under a democratic form of government such as ours.
In a letter dated May 20th, 1926, O.L. Emerick, a resident of Purcellville, Virginia, expressed his disapproval of the decision to rebuild Lincoln High School at its current location. He argued that moving the school to a new site, specifically the Love property, which was only a mile away, would be a more beneficial decision. His letter highlighted concerns about the transportation of students from various districts to the school and questioned the wisdom of moving the successful Lincoln High School to a different location. Emerick emphasized the need to consider the wishes of the original donors who funded the construction of the school at its current location. He also pointed out the moral responsibility associated with respecting the intentions of those individuals. In his plea to reconsider the decision, Emerick raised important questions about prioritizing personal interests over the broader needs of the district and community.

COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION RICHMOND May 14, 1926 Supt. 0. L. Emerick Purcellville, Virginia My dear Mr. Emerick: I have your letter if May 12th inquiring as to the progress on the preliminary plans for the Lincoln School. I was under the impression that this matter of rebuilding at Lincoln was indefinitely postponed. Mr. Dixon reported that certain interested citizens in Purcellville were going to take the thing to appeal, and for that reason we have done nothing further in the matter. I judge, however, from your letter that you have been awaiting preliminary plans for the new building at Lincoln. Mr. Dixon was under the impression that the general type of building which was to be constructed either at Lincoln or Purcellville would be constrcuted along the general lines of a building that has been completed at Brosville in Pittsyl- vania County. If you have definitely decided that the building is to be rebuilt at Lincoln, we will at once get to work on the finished plans and specifications, following the Brosville plan. I do not wish to be quoted in what I am about to say because I do not think it very wise, under the circumstances, for the State Department to enter into the matter of the con- troversy that exists between Lincoln and Purcellville, but I am very frankly of the opinion that the logical thing to do is to put up this building at Purcellville rather than Lincoln. However, that opinion does not enter, if you and the Board have come to any définite decision as to what is to be done. If, how- ever, the building is to be constructed at Purcellville, it will probably be necessary for us to come to Purcellville and take exact grades, and before we put any work on it in the rather congested condition in which the department is in at this time, we would rather have the completed grades ready to work out the finished plan, as I understand you want to go ahead with the Brosville plan as a basis for the new building, either at Pur- cellville or at Lincoln. Please let me hear from you if any d finite decision has been reached as to the location, or if you have definitely decided to rebuild at Lincoln. With very best wishes, I am Verp truly yours Raymond V. Long RVL:AM SUPERVISOR OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS
In a letter dated May 14, 1926, Raymond V. Long, Supervisor of School Buildings for the Commonwealth of Virginia State Board of Education, corresponded with Supt. O. L. Emerick of Purcellville regarding the rebuilding of the Lincoln School. Long mentioned that plans for the new building had been postponed due to a potential appeal by citizens in Purcellville. He suggested that the building should be constructed in Purcellville rather than Lincoln, but deferred to the decisions of Emerick and the Board. Long expressed willingness to proceed with finished plans and specifications following the Brosville plan if the decision was made to rebuild at either location. The letter highlights the bureaucratic process and considerations involved in the construction and location of public schools in Virginia during the early 20th century.

In 1909, the school trustees of Mt. Gilead District No. 2, located in Lincoln, Loudoun County, Virginia, accepted a statement regarding contributions and payments made towards the construction and improvement of high school grounds and buildings. The total amount of $13,940.94 included donations from various individuals and businesses, such as Woodward & Lothrop from Washington, D. C. The building committee appointed in 1909 was released from further obligations, as confirmed by signatures of committee members and trustees. The expenditures, as detailed in the statement, included expenses for land, well, architecture fees, building costs, fencing, and supervising building work. Contributions were made in cash, land, and promises of future installments, with some individuals exempted from monetary donations due to non-cash contributions. The audit committee confirmed the accuracy of the accounts and the fulfillment of all contributions.

The Lincoln High School was built in 19091 and burned down in 1926, thus had to be replaced; but where? Lincoln wanted to keep the institution but had to struggle against nearby Purcellville which felt the replacement should be in that community. It was second time this debate occurred, the first which decided in favor of Lincoln by the School Board in 1909². The 1926 dispute is worth examining because it went well beyond the School Board and ended up involving much of county government, the courts and Virginia state government officials and revealed how the administration of school rules and related laws in the State was evolving. There was also a clash of cultures, an undercurrent of prejudice against Quakers who were sometimes called unpatriotic against the demands of a rising commercial and transportation hub with its new distractions for pupils like moving pictures and ready access to alcohol. The very patriotism of the Quakers was called into question because they didn't fight in wars and also because some in Lincoln voted for Eugene Debs for President, a socialist who won 6% of the electorate at a time when the establishment was very anti-socialist- Debs was a strong labor rights leader in the railroad industry who opposed Woodrow Wilson in the 1912 Presidential election, and as a socialist and pacifist, was opposed to America's entry into World War One. Despite that being a constitutionally protected political position, he was jailed by Wilson under the Espionage Act. We often think of African-Americans suffering under Jim Crow at the time; and they were; which is the focus on the Edwin Washington Project; but the first amendment protections of speech, press and assembly were also being assaulted, which threatened everyone and led to the formation of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). However, to the credit of Loudoun citizens, despite tensions, the conflict would be resolved. The protracted, contentious debate ended with Lincoln retaining its school, which opened in March, 1927, and both sides sitting down over refreshments as the guests of the Quakers. Background: Lincoln High School was in the old Mt. Gilead School District (District 2) in the unincorporated village of Lincoln in Loudoun County, VA. Goose Creek, as the community was first named, was settled by Quakers during the 1750s. The Friends cared deeply about the value of education and established a committee of 75 to seek better schooling for all white children. Their efforts resulted in the construction of a one- room school house in 1815 at a cost of $400.00. It is also worth noting that at the close of the Civil War, Quakers didn't support whitejeducation. They worked hard to provide white ONLY 1 One smaller Section 2 White Petition Boxes: 1926 Lincoln-Purcellville Dispute: Paper File 2E. In addition, the 1909 property was conveyed to the Mercer School Board on 9 July, 1909. For details on property, going back to 1854, see Liber 5k's, Folio 104 in the Archives of the circuit Court in Loudoun. In addition, see Misc Papers, 1909, School Box 1, also in the Circuit Court Archives. 2
The Lincoln-Purcellville Dispute of 1926 was a contentious issue regarding the replacement of the burned down Lincoln High School in Loudoun County, VA. The dispute revealed not only the struggle between the two communities over the location of the new school but also exposed larger cultural and political divisions in the area. The debate involved various levels of government, the courts, and state officials, showcasing the evolving administration of school rules and laws in Virginia. Tensions arose over issues of patriotism and ideology, with implications for freedom of speech and civil liberties for all residents, not just African-Americans facing Jim Crow laws. Ultimately, the conflict was resolved with Lincoln retaining its school and both communities coming together over refreshments in a moment of reconciliation. The historical context of the dispute dates back to the 19th century when Quakers settled in the region and advocated for education in the community.

The text in question appears to be a letter written by concerned parents to Mr. Emerick Meding, the principal of the Addition Grant School in Muldleberry, dated July 19, 1944. The parents, identifying themselves as members of the Parent Teachers Association, express their worry about overcrowding in the school and the potential health risks it poses. They cite concerns about the possibility of an epidemic outbreak due to the crowded conditions. The letter is signed by a number of individuals, including Mrs. Melvina Beale, Mrs. Lenora Stevens, and others, indicating a collective effort to address the issue. As an historian analyzing this document, it provides insights into the challenges faced by schools during this time period in terms of space constraints and health considerations.

A CIRCULAR PERTAINING TO THE PURCHASE OF A LOT? AND THE ERECTION OF A HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING THEREON, AT OR NEAR LINCOLN, LOUDOUN COUNTY, VIRGINIA, BY THE SCHOOL BOARD OF MT. GILEAD DISTRICT, NO. 2 OF SAID COUNTY. Sometime ago you made a subscription and agreed to contribute a specified sum toward the purchase of a lot near Lincoln, Loudoun County, Virginia and the erection of a high school building there on, which was the basis and foundation of the selection and purchase of certain property to that end, located near Lincoln, Loudoun County, Virginia, by the School Board of Mt. Gilead District No. 2 of said county, and the determination on its part to erect a school building thereon, in conformity with the terms and require- ments of said subscription, etc. Certain citizens of said school district, feeling themselves aggrieved by the action of said board, presented and took an appeal therefoom to a board known as "The School Grustee Electoral Board of Loudoun County, Va." The said appeal was tried, and a copy of the finding and judgment of said board has been printed on another page of this circular, and is made a part hereof, which speak for itself. You will observe, from the finding of said last named board, the terms and condition which are imposed on the people interested in the purchase of said lot and the erection of a school building thereon. Those term and conditions, amongst other things, impose upon the people so interested, the necessity of providing fund of not less than $12,000.00 for the purpose of the erection of a suitable high school building, in addition to the cost of the lot therein specified, And should it be de- termined to erect a building at a cost X in excess of said $12,000.00, then, said increased cost is, likewise, to be pro- vided II for by private subscriptions, etc. By the terms of the finding of said Trustee Electoral Board the said School Board of Mt. Gilead District No. 2 are to be the judges in respect to the sufficient financial ability of several subscribers to said fund topay and discharge their subscription At the time the said appeal was heard by said Trustee Electoral Board, subscriptions and promises to the said Mt. Gilead School Board had previously been made aggregating about $10,000.00, and, in view of the finding of the said Trustee Electoral Board it became and is necessary that additional re- sponsible subscriptions be made and obtained to the said fund and promises to pay the same to the said school board, amounting to at least $3,000.00. Some such additional subscriptions and promises have been made, and it is believed others will be ob- tained (not only the amount necessary to meet the requirements of the said Trustee Electoral Board, but considerably in excess thereof) and responsible parties have assured and guaranteed the said school Board of Mt. Gilead District No. 2 that such addition amount of at least $3,000.00 al responsible subscriptions have been made, or will be made in In view of such assurance and guarantee, the said school Page 2 board of Mt. Gilead District No. 2 hereby announces to those who subscribed to the said fund and promised to pay to it certain subscriptions, that it is the judgment of said Board that the re- quirements of the finding and judgment of the said Trustee Elec- toral Board have been complied with and fully met and they have determined to purchase, and have purchased the property specified in the said judgment, and have determined to erect a high school building thereon, at a cost of not less than $12,000.00. The said school board of Mt. Gilead District No. 2 of Loudoun County, Virginia as a Board and individually, desire to express, and do hereby express their thanks and appreciation to those who so generously subscribed and agreed to contribute to the said undertaking. In order to finance said undertaking and complete the same, it is essential that said school board be paid, without delay, such portion of said subscriptions as is payable in cash. Quite a number have already paid to Loudoun National Bank, which has been designated to receive same and give receipts therefor, Those who agreed to make a cash payment on or before the 15th day of April 1909 and have not done so, are hereby respectfully requested to remit the same to the said bank, on or before the 1st day of July, 1909. Those who made subscriptions payable to a later day than April 15th, 1009; towit; August 15, 1909, or at any other date or dates are hereby respectfully requested to execute I their notes in con- formity with their subscriptions, and send samexxx, without delay, to said Bank, so that said school board can either be in funds or have a basis of credit on which to secure funds to proceed with diligence in the KerSetion of the said proposed building. Authorized and adopted this day of June, 1909. Robert H. Gray, Pres. Board J. A. Cockerille, Sec. A meeting of the school Trustee Electoral Board, of Loudoun County, was held on Wednesday, the 28th day of April, 1909, as a board of reference, at Lincoln, in Mt. Cilead Magis- terial district, Loudoun County, Virginia, pursuant to notice to all parties in interest, to hear and determine the appeal of J. W. Gregg and of others presented to L. M. Shumate, div- ision superintende of schools for Loudoun County, praying that the action of the Mt. Gilead District school board in selecting a location for the proposed new high school building near Lin- coln should be modified or that the appeal be granted to the said School Trustee Electoral Board, in accordance with the law. Itx appearing, afterthe receipt of this complaint in sriting, that the division superintendent was unable to satis- factorily aijust the said complaint within ten days after the receipt of the same, thereupon the appeal to the said School Trustee Electoral Board was granted and after due notice to all parties in interest, at the time and place above mentioned, the school trustees of Mt. Gilead District, the appellants and all other parties in interest being present, said school Trustee Electoral Board proceeded to hear the parties in interest and all the evidence adduced. Upon considering the action of the said Mt. Gilead District school board, the appeal therefrom, the statements of the witnesses and all of the evidence adduced and after a personal inspection of the proposed site, this board is of the opinion and doth make the following decision:
This text is a circular regarding the purchase of a lot in Loudoun County, Virginia, for the construction of a high school building by the School Board of Mt. Gilead District No. 2. The citizens of the district had previously subscribed funds for this purpose, and there was an appeal to the School Trustee Electoral Board of Loudoun County due to grievances regarding the actions of the school board. The Trustee Electoral Board determined certain financial conditions for the completion of the project, requiring at least $12,000 for the building construction. The school board announced that they had complied with these conditions and expressed gratitude to the subscribers. There was an urgent call for the payment of subscriptions to facilitate the project, highlighting the financial aspect of the endeavor. The historical significance of this circular lies in the collaborative effort of the community to establish educational infrastructure in the region during the early 20th century.

Mercery Love, Jr., and several other per- sons, exceeding five in number, purporting to be heads of families, praying anx appeal to this Board from the action of the County School Board as of date April 10, 1926x in locating a new high school building for Mt. Gilead District, at the village of Lincoln, and praying that the action of said County Board be over-ruled and that said new high school building be located at or near the Town of Pur- cellville, in said district. The meeting was called to order by the Chairman and all three members were noted present. Thereupon the Chairman declared a quorum present and the meeting open for the transaction of business, and the Division Sup- erintendent presented said petition for consideration. on consideration whereof, it appearing that sub-section 4 of Section 5 of "Virginia School Laws", bulletin, issued by State Board of Education, July 1923, provides that "No school house shall be contracted for or erected until site, location, etc., shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Division Superintend- ent of Schools, and it further appearing that no action either of Superintendent in the premises, it is the sense of the majority aporoval or disapproval in writing has been taken by said Division of this Board that this Board is without authority to entertain said Appeal, set forth in said petition. on call of roll, Dr. W.

The text details a meeting of the School Trustee Electoral Board of Loudoun County held in April 1926 in response to a petition regarding the location of a new high school building in the Mt. Gilead District. The meeting, convened at the office of Commonwealth's Attorney Cecil Connor, centered around a request to relocate the school building to Purcellville instead of Lincoln. The Board, consisting of three members, debated the petition based on Virginia School Laws, ultimately determining that they lacked the authority to overturn the decision of the County School Board. The minutes reveal a disagreement between the Board members and the Division Superintendent, with two members in favor of upholding the County Board's decision and the Superintendent dissenting. This document sheds light on the bureaucratic processes and local conflicts involved in educational planning during the early 20th century in Loudoun County.

The Lincoln-Purcellville Dispute of 1926, as documented by Larry Roeder in August 2016, was a controversy over the replacement of the Lincoln High School in Virginia after it burned down. The debate between Lincoln and Purcellville communities centered around the location of the replacement school. The conflict went beyond just the School Board and involved county government, courts, and even state officials. Revealing a clash of cultures and underlying prejudice against Quakers, who supported Lincoln, the dispute also touched upon First Amendment rights and socialist sentiments in the community. Ultimately, Lincoln retained its school and the conflict was resolved, with the new school opening in 1927. The history of Lincoln High School, originally established by Quakers in the 1810s, highlights the community's commitment to education and the challenges they faced during a period of social and political change.

PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION AND COMMUNITY LEAGUE Grant School Middleburg, Virginia February 6, 1946 Mr. 0. L. Emerick, District Superintendent of Schools, Loudoun County, Leesburg, Virginia. Dear Mr. Emerick: At our regular meeting held on February 4, 1946, your recent letter written to Dr. Edmead, chairman of our building site committe, wasdread. Indeed, it made us more informative than we had been before. Nevertheless, it was rather shocking to us to learn of your definite decision. We had been impressed with the fact, as conveyed by you, that our committee would have been informed voluntarily without having had to write to you. You, of course, evaded this point of the agreement. In addition, at our last gathering at the School Board meeting we had been informed that a plot of land could have been obtained definitely from Mr. William N. Hall at Maxville and that, were we satisfied with this location it would be a foregone conclusion. We definitely agreed to the proposal. Consequently, with your contrary decision and action we are undoubtedly disappointed. We feel certain that you have taken cognizance of the many disadvantages of the selection of a site in St. Louis. At any rate, may be have the pleasure and opportunity to point out, as we see them, some of the many disadvantages of constructing a school in St. Louis rather than in Middleburg:- 1. St. Louis roads are unsatisfactory, and during some winter months they are impassable. 2. The . land selected is swampy and will require extensive drain- age. In short, all landsin St. Louis present this feature. 3. St. Louis lacks all of the conveniences of stores, theatre, and denominational churches, 4.SSt. Louis lacks Negro leadership and Negro wealth. 5. St. Louis will not attract much patronage in case of school functions and activities. 6. In any school neighborhood there should be conducive surround- ings so as to offset the decoy of youngsters. St Louis does not present this qualification. 2. 7. In case of accidents, which undoubtedly will occur, a physician could not be reached immediately, neither could the proper first aid be administered because of the lack of clinical facilities. 8. The inhabitants of St. Louis are less progressive and less community conscious than those of Middleburg. Consequently, cooperation will be inadequate and inefficient. 9. Building such a school in St. Louis would not improve the panorama of our colored and white citizens. This should be one of our ultimate objectives, especially in this atomic age. 10. A building of such anticipated magnitude and architecture should be within the range of sightseers. Therefore, it should be definitely located, if not on, near a macadam road. Such an execution of contemplation and democratic principle shall, without the shadow of a doubt, revere you in the hearts of all Negroes. 11. Middleburg has always been the leading centre of the surround- ing communities for Negroes. It possesses leadership, wealth, progressiveness, and potentialities. 12. St. Louis has always presented a problem in the boarding of teachers the homes are limited and are without modern conveniences. The situation will be more perplexing with an increased staff. No one knows any better than you the difficulty in obtaining and retaining qualified teachers, particularly at so critical a time. Hence, we should at least attempt to make the surroundings pleasant for those who are here, those who are to come, and those who will stay. In short, we Negroes with broad minds and considerable forethought are desirous not only to facilitate improvement of ourselves alone, but for our white brethen as well. It must be borne in mind that a community cannot progress adequately half weak and half strong. We should be able to produce the same impact alike though it may be on opposite sides of the fence. Now that we have presented our points of view we beg to offer an alternative site Mr. William N. Hall's plot of ground at Maxville which is still available. We understand that the price is far beyond the Board's intended expenditure. However, realizing what it would mean to our race and posterity we have committed ourselves to reimburse Mr. Hall the deficit should you and the other members of the Board be so gracious as to grant us our request and conclude the deal. Conclusively, we, the undersigned patrons, citizens and taxpayers, petition you to reconsider the proposed site and substitute Mr. Hall's plot. Furthermore, we trust that you may be sufficiently open-minded to visualize our predicament as a race to extend to us due consideration and to make such considera- tion possible. We wish to express our grateful thanks for your immediate action. 3. Sincerely yours, Claredon e Fisher Gurley H. stranger Lorraine Dade Laura m. Harris. Estitle R1 Wade. John Parker mrs. Hattie S.

The letter dated February 6, 1946, from the Parent-Teacher Association and Community League of Grant School in Middleburg, Virginia, addressed to Mr. O. L. Emerick, District Superintendent of Schools, Loudoun County, Leesburg, expresses disappointment and shock at the decision regarding the selection of a school site. The letter outlines various reasons for opposing the proposed site in St. Louis, highlighting issues such as poor infrastructure, lack of amenities, and challenges in attracting teachers. The undersigned patrons and citizens petition for reconsideration of the proposed site and suggest an alternative location at Mr. William N. Hall's plot in Maxville. The letter demonstrates the community's commitment to improving educational facilities for both Negro and white citizens, emphasizing the need for cooperation and progress for all. Ultimately, it appeals to Mr. Emerick's open-mindedness and consideration in making a decision that benefits the entire community.

I desire at this time to make a statement bearing on this case to show my views as to how the matter should be handled. Let me first say that on severalmee occasions the question of permitting some high school work in the Purcellville, Hamilton and Bluemont schools and additional high school work in the Hillsboro school has been presented to me. I have always discouraged such propesals because I felt the course proposed would result in a number of weak high schools although it was apparent that the final outcome would be only one high school for the entire territory and that at the most populous place, Purcellville. My attitiude has certainly not been a disade vantage to Lincoln. When the matter of installing an agricultural depart- ment with a teacher paid entirely by the state was first before our county, the State School Superintendent wrote me that I as division superintendent must select the school. I selected Lincoln because it seemed the proper place but received very sharp criticism from another MKX section of the county for my action. When the question of XI a separate Purcellville Dis- trict was pending in 1917 one of my first acts as division superintendent was to advise State Superintendent Stearns that since the object was a new high school the course proposed did not seem the proper one. When it became necessary to lock horns with the Pur- cellville town authorities over the collection of what has already amounted to about $1,000 from a tax on bank stock I have not hesitated to be against the Town of Purcellville and for the rest of the district. Deed Lincoln recorded 1923. made 1909. This question is not now one of what Lincoln, Pur- cellville, Hamilton or any other town needs or wants. It is a question of MMR broad general public policy and public good. A man in public office should seek not to stir up strife but when issues are clearly brought he must have süffi- cient courage and conviction to do what he believes to be right and proper. Although several reports with been brought to mc of the harsh remoried concerning myself which have been Tarrandothe made by Zincoln sympathizers I have only the kindliest feeling towards them. I am keeping neither notch, stick, nor score card against them achore located again Sincerely will result in a A with schrie at Prince are at Mr., now, would seem to be the proper course to pursue in this matter. Accept the gift of Purcellville people who offer a site of land on the Love property and build a high school there. Call it still "Lincoln High school". Sell the Home Economics Cottage at Lincoln for a dmalling. Sell also in one or two tracts about five acres of land of the present site. Move the present shop in sections and re-erect on X new site. Build on the remaining site of about five acres and on the present foundation a new elementary school building of the approximate size and arrangement of the Hamilton school. This is suggested in view of the fact that the present elemen- tary building does not in several particulars meet the require- ments for a standard school. Abandon transportation at public expense from Purcell- ville but continue from Hamilton and use same bus for Lincoln at approxiamte present cost for Hamilton. TO finance this whole project forrow $28,000 from the State Literary Fund and raise the Mt. Gilead tax levy 10 cents on $100. This is not a distuat matter because mt glead would have to add 14 cents to its last budget if on a distinct basis, to make the same expensitiones and have the same balance more people lan in Pun ellate who gar monny and than Puncellinble people gare more money than Sincoln.

Purcellville, Virginia. RN April 26,1926 To Members County School Board: You will fini inclosed a copy of the minutes of a meeting of the school trustee electoral board held yesterday. It has been my expressed purpose to approve the leeatie. location for the new high school selected originally by the county school board, if no appeal were taken, or if an appeal were taken to approve the location finally selected. In view of the appeal from the decision of your board and in further view of the decision of the school trustee electoral board I 30 hereby officially express my dis-approval of the location for a new high school to be erected in Mt. Gilead district at Lincoon on the former site as decided by your board at its meeting on April 10th, 1926. This decision is made in accordance xxx with the Code of Virginia, section 673. May I state here that I offer no criticsm of any of you for voting as you think? May I also point out that in cases where original action lay with myself as superintendent and my decisions or re- commendations have not been acceptable to the school board I have in all cases endeavored to make nev recommeniations that would be acceptable and I wish to raise the question whether, in this case, where there is a difference of opinion between the school board and superintendent and the original action is reversed, it might not be proper for the board to meet as early as possible and endeavor to select a new location. Very sincerely yars, O.E., Emerick Division Super intendent.
In this letter dated April 26, 1926, O.E. Emerick, the Division Superintendent of Purcellville, Virginia, addresses the County School Board regarding the location of a new high school in the Mt. Gilead district. He expresses his disapproval of the decision made by the board on April 10th to erect the high school at Lincoon. Emerick cites the Code of Virginia, section 673, as the basis for his disapproval and emphasizes that his intention is not to criticize the board members for their decision-making process. He suggests that in cases where there is disagreement between the superintendent and the school board, it might be appropriate for the board to reconvene and select a new location for the high school. This letter underscores the complexities and challenges involved in decision-making processes within educational institutions during this time period.
During the early 20th century, there was significant debate and opposition within Loudoun County, Virginia regarding the School Board's plans to purchase land adjacent to the colored high school in Leesburg. The petitioners argued that the land in question was more suitable for the expansion of the Union Cemetery of Leesburg, which was in need of additional space for burials. They also pointed out that most colored children attending the high school lived south of Market Street, making the proposed location inconvenient for the majority of students. The petitioners urged the School Board not to proceed with the purchase, emphasizing the detrimental impact it would have on both the cemetery and the education of colored youth in the community.

During the early 20th century, there was significant debate and opposition within Loudoun County, Virginia regarding the School Board's plans to purchase land adjacent to the colored high school in Leesburg. The petitioners argued that the land in question was more suitable for the expansion of the Union Cemetery of Leesburg, which was in need of additional space for burials. They also pointed out that most colored children attending the high school lived south of Market Street, making the proposed location inconvenient for the majority of students. The petitioners urged the School Board not to proceed with the purchase, emphasizing the detrimental impact it would have on both the cemetery and the education of colored youth in the community. This document provides insight into the racial dynamics and community concerns surrounding school development and land use in Loudoun County during this period.

June 141 1933. Miss Mildred Nokes, Sterling, Virginia. My dear Miss Nokes: The request for the opening of a school at Nokes next year was presented to our board today but no action was taken. Our decision about opening the school must be based very largely, on the attendance of last year. This was twelve for the year whereas the law requires agenty. I regret that we cannot provide a school for these children. Very sincerely yours, Division Superintendent. OLEORME
This letter, dated June 14, 1933, from the Division Superintendent in response to Miss Mildred Nokes of Sterling, Virginia, reveals the challenges faced in education during this time period. The request for a school at Nokes was presented but denied due to low attendance numbers from the previous year, falling short of the required twenty students. The Superintendent's decision highlights the bureaucratic nature of educational governance during the early 20th century and the strict adherence to regulations. This correspondence sheds light on the difficulties faced by rural communities in accessing quality education and the lack of resources available to some areas. Miss Nokes's efforts to establish a school at Nokes indicate the importance placed on education by local residents, despite the obstacles they faced.

WASHINGTON.D.C. NATIONAL BANK BUILDING 1000 VERMONT AVENUE (OPPOSITE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE) Washington, D.C., June 23, 1926 Mr. 0. L. Emerick, Division Superintendent, of Schools, Purcellville, Virginia. My dear Mr. Emerick: I have yours of June 19th advising me that no decision has yet been reached relative to the date for hearing the appeal by certain interested citizens of Loudoun County from the decision of the County School Board relative to the location of the high school formerly located at Lincoln, Virginia, and I will, therefore, not come to Loudoun County on the 24th inst. as tentatively suggested by you. I would also call your attention to the desirability of having this hearing in the district in which the school is located under the Statute. I would also renew the suggestion which I made to you in the presence of Mr. Alexander and renewed to you over the phone that I do not think it necessary that the appellant's incur the expense incident to my coming to Loudoun County to attend the hearing before the School Trustee Electoral Board. I take it that that hearing will not be final but merely preliminary to a final hearing before Judge Fletcher, and while, as you suggested, I might become more familiar with the detail of the case by attending the hearing I do not appre- hend that my presence would change the opinion of any member of the Trustee Electoral Board all of which are probably already made up. I think that the expense incident to my coming would be more wisely incurred by having Mr. Weaver or some other competent stenographer to attend the hearing and take as full a report of the proceedings as possible. Very truly yours JSB: RR you June 26 1926. Dr C. Urr, Leesburg, Virginia.

EWP 2-5A Yr 1946 Petition from Grant School requests new school be built in Maxville not St Louis
Feb 26, 1946, the PTA and Community League for the Grant School in Middleburg opined that Saint Louis was an inappropriate location for the new school and provided a detailed argument for Maxville (or Macville), a community east of Middleburg on the north side of route 50.

PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION AND COMMUNITY LEAGUE Grant School Middleburg, Virginia February 6, 1946 Mr. 0. L. Emerick, District Superintendent of Schools, Loudoun County, Leesburg, Virginia. Dear Mr. Emerick: At our regular meeting held on February 4, 1946, your recent letter written to Dr. Edmead, chairman of our building site committe[sic], was read. Indeed, it made us more informative than we had been before. Nevertheless, it was rather shocking to us to learn of your definite decision. We had been impressed with the fact, as conveyed by you, that our committee would have been informed voluntarily without having had to write to you. You, of course, evaded this point of the agreement. In addition, at our last gathering at the School Board meeting we had been informed that a plot of land could have been obtained definitely from Mr. William N. Hall at Maxville and that, were we satisfied with this location it would be a foregone conclusion. We definitely agreed to the proposal. Consequently, with your contrary decision and action we are undoubtedly disappointed. We feel certain that you have taken cognizance of the many disadvantages of the selection of a site in St. Louis. At any rate, may be have the pleasure and opportunity to point out, as we see them, some of the many disadvantages of constructing a school in St. Louis rather than in Middleburg:- 1. St. Louis roads are unsatisfactory, and during some winter months they are impassable. 2. The land selected is swampy and will require extensive drain-age. In short, all lands in St. Louis present this feature. 3. St. Louis lacks all of the conveniences of stores, theatre, and denominational churches, 4. St. Louis lacks Negro leadership and Negro wealth. 5. St. Louis will not attract much patronage in case of school functions and activities. 6. In any school neighborhood there should be conducive surround-ings so as to offset the decoy of youngsters. St Louis does not present this qualification. [page 2] 2. 7. In case of accidents, which undoubtedly will occur, a physician could not be reached immediately, neither could the proper first aid be administered because of the lack of clinical facilities. 8. The inhabitants of St. Louis are less progressive and less community conscious than those of Middleburg. Consequently, cooperation will be inadequate and inefficient. 9. Building such a school in St. Louis would not improve the panorama of our colored and white citizens. This should be one of our ultimate objectives, especially in this atomic age. 10. A building of such anticipated magnitude and architecture should be within the range of sightseers. Therefore, it should be definitely located, if not on, near a macadam road. Such an execution of contemplation and democratic principle shall, without the shadow of a doubt, revere you in the hearts of all Negroes. 11. Middleburg has always been the leading centre of the surround-ing communities for Negroes. It possesses leadership, wealth, progressiveness, and potentialities. 13. St. Louis has always presented a problem in the boarding of teachers – the homes are limited and are without modern conveniences. The situation will be more perplexing with an increased staff. No one knows any better than you the difficulty in obtaining and retaining qualified teachers, particularly at so critical a time. Hence, we should at least attempt to make the surroundings pleasant for those who are here, those who are to come, and those who will stay. In short, we Negroes with broad minds and considerable forethought are desirous not only to facilitate improvement of ourselves alone, but for our white brethen as well. It must be borne in mind that a community cannot progress adequately half weak and half strong. We should be able to produce the same impact alike though it may be on opposite sides of the fence. Now that we have presented our points of view we beg to offer an alternative site – Mr. William N. Hall's plot of ground at Maxville which is still available, We understand that the price is far beyond the Board's intended expenditure. However, realizing what it would mean to our race and posterity we have committed ourselves to reimburse Mr. Hall the deficit should you and the other members of the Board be so gracious as to grant us our request and conclude the deal. Conclusively, we, the undersigned patrons, citizens and taxpayers, petition you to reconsider the proposed site and substitute Mr. Hall's plot. Furthermore, we trust that you may be sufficiently open-minded to visualize our predicament as a race to extend to us due consideration and to make such considera-tion possible. We wish to express our grateful thanks for your immediate action. [page 3] 3.

The letter reflects the determination and foresight of the undersigned individuals to secure a suitable location for educational advancement and community development.

EWP 2-5B Yr 1926 April 10 Fleet James Testimony

mw. James GENTLEMEN OF THE LOUDOUN COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD Ata recent meeting in Purcellville, a motion was made and carried that the Chairman of that Meeting select a Committee of five to collect and present some facts that might be of value in the proper location of the High School to replace the recently burned High School at Lincoln. We, the undersigned Committee, wish to submit herewith certain facts and date. In presenting these facts to you, Gentlemen, it is not our purpose to influence you, but rather to give to you the benefit of such facts as will enable you to wisely consider this matter of the location for we fully realize that you are entrusted by the people of Loudoun County with one of the most important services at the hands of people in the County, That of the proper administration of the Loudoun County School System in such a manner that the greatest number of pupils may be given the advantages of our schools in the most economical and efficient way. We desire to state that with the facts before you, we know that you will make such a decision that in the years to come the entire community influenced by your decision will realize that yours was the wise decision and that the trust placed by the people in you was right and placed wisely, then you will not in years to come be subject to criticism of having failed to locate the school where it would in a period of years serve the greatest number of pupils with the least expense to the tax payer of getting the pupils to the school because the school was not centrally located. Seventeen years ago the question of location for the -2- - Mt. Gilead School came up and it might be truthfully said that ** it was the custom for the highest bidder to select the site, and in accordance with this custom and with a total disregard for the future, the High School was located at Lincoln, and in addition to this the matter of the location was to a large extent settled by not outsiders who were not only patrons of the school, but were not residents of the District. Assuming, therefore, that you Gentlemen do not desire to make this same mistake again, that you have regard for the trust that is placed in you, and for your own judgment, we give you the following facts: FIRST: Out of the 118 pupils of the High School this year, 88 of this number either start from or pass through Purcellville at the Eact End of Purcellires and turn at the Dr. Davis corner, on their way to Lincoln and that Purcellville is as near Lincoln to several of those living to the south of Purcellville, The 118 pupils in the School are grouped as follows: From the town of Purcellville 24 Near Purcellville 17 Boarding in Purcellville and riding on the bus 3 Total 44 Hillsboro ll Hamilton 24 Silcott Springs 2 Philomont 8 North Fork 3 In Lincoln 9 Near Lincoln (Total from Lincoln 21) 12 Mountville l Round Hill 1 Bluemont 1 Upperville l Woodburn I Total 118 It will, therefore, be seen that of the 118 pupils, 44, or more than one-third, are from the town and immediate vicinity of -3- Purcellville and are from the territory sending pupils to the Graded School at Purcellville. In the future this section promises perhaps an even larger percentage of the total High School attendance; this may best be shown by the increased size of the Purcellville Graded School which has grown from 119 enrollment in 1919 to 173 in 1926. SECOND: The future High School pupils are to be found from the following schools as follows: Possible High School Enrollment School Pupils Hillsboro (2 yr. High School) 82 42 Wheatland (1/2 to Waterford) 36 18 Hamilton 97 97 Silcott Springs 38 38 Woodburn (1/2 to Leesburg) 21 ll Philomont 33 33 Lincoln 79 79 Purcellville 173 173 Total 491 From the total of 491 pupils in the feeder schools to the High School, Purcellville furnishes 173 which is over 37% of the total. The above estimate of the possible pupils from Wheatland and Woodburn are liberal because at this time these schools furnish only one pupil each to the High School. We call attention to the growing necessity of the increased cost to the District for bus transportation from Purcellville as there are now 35 pupils riding in a 24 seat capacity bus, it being clearly evident by this that additional bus service is needed. We present the attached Road Map of the Communities sending pupils to the school, this map showing the State Highway from Hamilton west, the macadam roads from Hillsboro to Purcellville, Telegraph Springs to Purcellville, Lincoln to Purcellville and a sand gravel road from Philomont by way of Silcott Springs to Purcellville, this road having just been opened for bids for immediate construction. -4- We would correct an erroneous impression in the mind of the public regarding the source of the money which was used in building the High School at Lincoln. The public has been under the impression that the $13,940 which the Lincoln High School Building and grounds cost had been contributed by the immediate Lincoln community, but the facts do not substantiate this impression which is borne out by the following figures: There was received from persons getting their mail from Lincoln $2912.82 and from persons getting their mail from Purcellville $4438.82; however, among these getting their mail from Purcellville were several including W. T. Brown and A. W. Welsh who are as near or nearer Lincoln than to Purcellville which should be included in the Lincoln list. There was received from persons and firms elsewhere in the County and outside of the County $6589.29, thus making a total of $13,940. We realize that the people in the Lincoln community were largely interested in raising this money and we do not in any way wish to depreciate the splendid work that they have done in supporting the school, but desire to give them full credit. We call attention to the fact that a number of persons contributing money to the building of the school at Lincoln received credit on tuition for their children against those contributions which they made. These various credits, we are informed by the Mt. Gilead school trustee, W. T. Smith, amount to $1350 or $1400.
In this document, dated April 27, 1926, a Committee of five members of the Loudoun County School Board addressed the issue of relocating the High School in Lincoln, which had recently burned down. The Committee emphasized the importance of selecting a central location to serve the greatest number of pupils in the most efficient manner. They presented facts demonstrating that Purcellville was a more central location for a majority of current and potential High School students based on enrollment figures from feeder schools. The Committee also clarified misconceptions regarding the funding of the Lincoln High School, showing that contributions came from various sources, not solely the Lincoln community. The Committee's thorough presentation of facts aimed to guide the School Board in making a decision that would benefit the community and avoid criticisms of previous flawed decision-making processes.

This project was developed to recognize the historical significance of the former Conklin Village, which included the Conklin Colored School, Settle-Dean cabin, and Prosperity Baptist Church - all located on the current Lunsford Middle School site. The students involved in the project, with the assistance of various community members and historians, created a mural and a model of the Settle-Dean Cabin to commemorate the history of Conklin Village. This resolution highlights the importance of preserving and honoring African American contributions to the development of Loudoun County, showing a great appreciation for the local history and community heritage.

This text appears to be a historical speech or document discussing the location of a school building in a particular town, likely in the early 20th century. The speaker, potentially a chairman of a school board, argues for the importance of considering the environment and community support when selecting a site for the school. They emphasize the dedication and efforts of the people in Lincoln, who have built and maintained the high school without incurring any debt. The text also highlights the community league's contributions and financial stability, as well as the potential consequences of relocating the school to a different town. The speaker questions the motives behind such a decision and advocates for prioritizing the educational needs of the entire district over individual interests. Overall, the text reflects a strong sense of community pride and commitment to education.
EWP 2-5B Yr 1926 June 16 Emerick Testimony to Circuit Court
/Volumes/T7 Shield/EWP/Elements/EWP_Files/source/Ingest One/2 Petitions Plans School Board and Districts/2-5B_White_Petitions/2-5B White Petitions/2-5B_Lincoln-Purcellville-Dispute-1926/EWP_2-5B_Yr_1926_June_16_Emerick_Testimony_to_Circuit_Court.pdf
-1- Question - Have you approved or do you approve the Lincoln site for the new high school building? Answer - No Question State to the court your beasons for this answer. Answer My reasons require a good many words. School houses are built for the future and we can normally expect this build- ing to last about fifty (50) years. It is our duty to aseetain from what points the children are likely to come and in what numbers and to locate this school at the center of high school population. We can judge the future best by a study of present conditions and past tendencies. I wish to submit as evidence in this case a map prepared by J. T. Hirst and myself which locates the high school pupils with reference to the old school site and the proposed site. The pupils are designated by small circles, the number in each circle represents high school children. The children are found listed in an official report required of every teacher which was filedx in my office as division superintend- ent of schools on September 25, 1925 by the principal of the school and is a complete list of high school children in attendance at Lincoln on that date. The children are located on the map at the point whence they daily attended school at the time the report was made. This map shows that eleven (11) children from the Hills- boro neighborhood 9 twenty-six (26) from the Hamilton neigh- borhood, forty-eight (48) from the Purcellville neighborhood, all naturally follow the heavy lines past the point D, the -2- proposed site, in reaching Lincoln. A new road, indicated by the heavy dashes has recently been contracted for to lead from Purcellville to Philomont. The seven (7) Philomont children and the two (2) Silcott Springs children would naturally follow the good road in the future through Pur- cellville and past the point D in reaching Lincoln. The BluemontE pupil comes to Purcellville by train and past point D XMXEHXERXMXX to Lincoln and the one near Round Hill drives through Purcellville daily. This is a total of 28 niney-six (96) who reach E only after passing D. on the other hand three (3) from North Fork and twenty- one (21) from Lincoln neighborhoods, only these,a total of twenty-four (24) would pass E in reaching D. Between D. and E are located six (6) pupils who might go in either direction with about equal facility. Here we have ninty-six (96) collected at D and twenty-four (24) collected at E and our problem becomes one like this. Which is cheaper and fairer, for ninty-six (96) pupils to travel 1.2 miles twice daily for 180 days annually for 50 years or for 24 pupils to make the trip. The saving in milage is 31,104 annually if the schools is located at D. At 3 1/2 cents per miles which is about as cheap as this trans- portation is likely to be this amounts to $1088 in a year. From the standpoint of the present administrative policy which has been in practice for 10 or more years of hauling children at public expense from Hamilton and Purcellville, the outcome is similar. A motor vehicle now hauls children from Hamilton to Lincoln going past point D on our map. This vehicle re- -3- turns to Hamilton empty each morning and le aves empty each afternoon. The same trip now made could leave the Hamilton children at D and bring the Lincoln children to D each morn- ing and deliver these to Lincoln and Hamilton in the afternoon and presumably this would cost the same as now. Likewise a motor vehicle now hauls children from Purcell- ville to Lincoln. The vehicle is a 2 ton truck driven by a school boy. My own observation indicated a lack of capacity due to the number of children. The normal expec- tation is more children in the future from Purcellville because the average daily attendance in that elementary school was 60 in grades* 4, 5, 6, and 7 four years ago but was 73 in 1925-26. This indicates an increase of 22% in the high school attendance from the Purcellville neighborhood 4 years hence. It would result in 2 trips with the vehicle instead of one as at present. To do this the vehicle would travel 3 times as far as at present and cost at least 2 times as much, or say $1,000. On the map the denominations of the blue fractions indi- cate elementary school enrollment as taken from the term re- ports from teachers to the division superintendent at the end of the 1925-26 session. Our purpose now is to see how many of these would find D more accessible, roadsx considered, and how many would find E more accessible. We must add Philomont 52, Silcott Springs 49, Hamilton 103, Purcellville 198, and Hillsboro 43, taking only half at Hills- horo because it has two years of high school work. This total of 445 are more accessible to D. The 44 at North Fork and 84 at Lincoln a total of 128 are more accessible to -4- point E. The principle of the greatest good to the greatest number requires that the school be located at D. the new pro- posed site on the Love property. We have some information in relation to past tendencies. In 1909 when the Lincoln high school building was erected, the official records show that Lincoln elementary school en- rolled 64 pupils and had 3 teachers, it enrolled 84 pupils this year and had 3 teachers, Hamilton had 92 pupils in 1909 with 3 teachers, it had 103 this year with 3 teachers, - - -Purcellville had 61 in 1909 with 2 teachers and 198 this year with 6 teachers. Hillsboro, Philomont, Sil- cott Springs , and North Fork have changed but little in enrollment. Only Purcellville shows marked increase in school population and there the school population or enroll- ment more than trebled in 16 years. Likewise the assessed valuation of property assessed for school purposes in Purcellville in 1903 was of that for the district and in 1925 it was 20% of that for the district. Again, the Federal CHEMS Census shows that in 1910 Purcellville corporation had a population of 375 while the present population is shown by a special police census to be 760764 The shifting of the school population since 1909 is shown in the contrast between the map already presented and one shich I now submit. This map was likewise prepared By Mr. J. T. Hirst and myself. It shows the high school pupils enrolled in 1910-11 as secured from a printed listx on fileinmyoffice There were no improved roads in 1909 in this area and about
fifty (50) years is the expected lifespan of a school building, exemplifying the long-term planning required in education. The importance of centralizing the high school in an area where students are most likely to come from, based on present conditions and historical trends, is emphasized through detailed analysis and evidence presented to the court. The practical considerations of transportation costs and accessibility for students from various neighborhoods are carefully deliberated, with a focus on efficiency and fairness. Historical data on school enrollments and population growth in different areas over the years is meticulously examined to support the argument for locating the new high school building at the proposed site on the Love property (point D). The analysis reflects a thorough understanding of past educational and demographic trends to inform future decision-making in the best interest of the community.

This document, dated around 1926, reveals the struggles of African American teachers in Loudoun County, Virginia, in their pursuit of fair pay. The petition, signed by a group of colored teachers, outlines their reasons for requesting a raise, citing the rising cost of living and the increased responsibilities they bear. Despite their efforts, the response from the Division Superintendent, as seen on a follow-up letter, shows that the board was unable to provide the requested increase in pay due to budget constraints. This exchange reflects the unequal treatment and economic challenges faced by African American educators during this period, highlighting the ongoing fight for equal rights and fair compensation.

My dear Mr. Emerick: I have yours of June 19th advising me that no decision has yet been reached relative to the date for hearing the appeal by certain interested citizens of Loudoun County from the decision of the County School Board relative to the location of the high school formerly located at Lincoln, Virginia, and I will, therefore, not come to Loudoun County on the 24th inst. as tentatively suggested by you. I would also call your attention to the desirability of having this hearing in the district in which the school is located under the Statute. I would also renew the suggestion which I made to you in the presence of Mr. Alexander and renewed to you over the phone that I do not think it necessary that the appellant's incur the expense incident to my coming to Loudoun County to attend the hearing before the School Trustee Electoral Board. I take it that that hearing will not be final but merely preliminary to a final hearing before Judge Fletcher, and while, as you suggested, I might become more familiar with the detail of the case by attending the hearing I do not appre- hend that my presence would change the opinion of any member of the Trustee Electoral Board all of which are probably already made up. I think that the expense incident to my coming would be more wisely incurred by having Mr. Weaver or some other competent stenographer to attend the hearing and take as full a report of the proceedings as possible.

And he who has one enemy Shall meet him everywhere. Page 2 Address by W. T. Smith, Chairman: Under the new law as we are using it, teachers are paid out of E fund which WeXEANN call a county fund. It is not as levied by the Board of Supervisors. What we call the Distric Fund now is used for buildings, up keep, janitors, and supplies. Teachers salaries and other expenses such as superintendent's office expenses are paid out of the fund by county levy and NEEXY partly by the district money, and part- ly by State money. What is known as the district tax is 60₫ on the $100 valuation. The county tax is 23d on the $100 valuation. 30 of Mt. Gilead's tax is used in the county fund and the other 30 is used for up-keep of buildings. Mt. Gilead is in debt about $35,000, mostly be cause of the fact that we put up modern grade school buildings at Bluemont, Purcellville, and Hamilton. This year we are building at North Fork and about $1500 went to the domestic science cot- tage at Lincoln. It has been suggested that we limit each side to a certain number of minutes to speak, but as this W has not been advertised ahead, I do not feel like enforcing it. We do not want one side to have any advantage, not we do not wanteither side to string it out with no purpose. I will wall on Purcellville first, those who are petitioning for the moving of the high school, and after they are through I will call on Lincoln and then after Lincoln is through will call on Purcellville again. I wish to have them speak one side at a time and not hit-or-miss. Fleet James speaking for Purcellville; Gentlemen of the Louioun County School Board: Page 3 At a recent meeting in Purcellville, a motion was made and carried that the chairman of that meeting select a committee of five to collect and present some facts that might be of value in the proper location of the High School to replace the recently burned High School at Lincoln. We, the undersigned committee, wish to submit herewith certain facts and data. In presenting these facts to you, gentlemen, it is not our purpose to influence you, but rather to give to you the benefit of such facts as will enable you to wisely con- sider this matter of the location for we fully realize that you are entrusted by the people of Loudoun County with one of the most important services at the hands of people axx in the county, that of the proper administration of the Loudoun County School system in such a manner that the great- est number of pupils may be given the advantage of our schools in the most economical and efficient way. We desire to state that with the facts before you, We know that you will make such a decision that in the years to come the entire community influenced byx your decision will realize that yours was the wise decision and that the trust placed by the people in you was right and placed wisely, then you will not in years to come be subject to criticism of having failed to locate the school where it would be over a period of hears serve the greatest number of pupils with the least expenseto the tax payer of getting the pupils to the school because the school was not centrally located. Seventeen years ago the question of location for the Mt. Gilead school came up and it might be truthfully said
that this meeting of the County School Board in 1926 was a continuation of that debate. The issue of where to rebuild Mt. Gilead High School, following the destruction of the previous building, was of great concern to the community. The meeting, held in Purcellville, was opened by Board Chairman W. T. Smith and included discussions on the allocation of funds for teachers' salaries and school expenses. Representatives from Purcellville and Lincoln presented their arguments for the school's location, emphasizing the importance of making a decision that would benefit the community for generations to come. The historical significance of this meeting lies in its reflection of the ongoing efforts to provide quality education to the youth of Loudoun County, while also considering the logistical and financial implications of such decisions.

On February 13, 1945, a letter was sent from O. L. Emerick, the Division Superintendent, to Mrs. Mildred Jackson, the President of the Parent-Teacher Association and Community League in Middleburg, Virginia. The letter discussed the necessary arrangements to purchase a lot in Middleburg for the school committee. Emerick mentioned he would meet with Dr. Edmead, the committee chairman, to further discuss the details of the transaction. He emphasized the need for specific sites to be considered before any decision could be made at a committee meeting. The letter indicated that the School Board Meeting had established the requirement of five acres of land for the school. This correspondence highlights the bureaucratic procedures and coordination required for land acquisitions for educational purposes in small communities during the mid-20th century.

We are in favor of doing all that can be done within reason for the colored children of the community, but we think this can be done best by selecting the most desirable location for a permanent investment and that this should be as close as possible to the most thickly populated colored section of the community.

On this document, dated to 1935 and addressed to O.L. Emerick, Superintendent, and the Loudoun County School Board, a group of petitioners express their concerns about the potential purchase of land adjacent to the colored high school property in Leesburg, Virginia. They argue that the cemetery nearby, Union Cemetery of Leesburg, will soon need the land for additional burial space and that only a few colored children live north of Market Street where the land is situated. The petitioners believe that the location of the land is not suitable for future educational needs of colored children and request the School Board not to purchase it. They advocate for selecting a more desirable location closer to the densely populated colored section of the community. The document showcases the community's efforts to advocate for suitable educational facilities for colored youth in an era marked by racial segregation.

St. Louis, a historic African American community, traces its roots back to the late 1800s when old-line Democrats were in power. The community faced segregation and formed their own congregations, such as the St. Louis New School Baptist Church. Named after a man named Louis or Lewis, the community grew and eventually gained a post office. The first mention of St. Louis in Loudoun County deed books dates back to 1891, with the subdivision "Little St. Lewis" being sold to Dan M. Robinson. The area saw growth and development, with schools being built and prominent figures such as Benjamin Banneker being associated with it. St. Louis remained a significant part of Fauquier and Loudoun County history, known for its unique origins and cultural heritage.

The text is a letter written by the Citizens Committee to the Loudoun County School Board in 1950, highlighting the ongoing issues at Douglass High School that have existed for years. The committee emphasizes the importance of a school providing opportunities for individual and societal development, and argues that an adequate school plant is crucial for achieving this goal. They point out that the condition of the school plant affects the curriculum, teaching materials, teacher quality, and overall learning environment. The committee warns that unless action is taken soon to address these issues, Douglass High School may lose its current rating with the State Board of Education. This letter is an important source for understanding the challenges faced by historically black schools in the mid-20th century and the efforts of community members to advocate for better educational facilities.

Loudoun COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION RICHMOND June 10, 1926. Supt. O. L. Emerick Purcellville, Virginia My dear Mr. Emerick: I could not say at the present writing just what my reaction would be as a witness. If I were called before the judge of the circuit court in connection with the Lincoln School contest, it would be necessary for me to review the field, observing from whence the children come and ultimately finding the center of population, and that would be the place that I would designate as the place to locate the school. I much prefer, however, not being called as a witness in view of the fact that anything I would say, however impartial, would be interpreted as against the State Board of Education, and would cause some of the people of your county to say that the State Board of Education was prying into matters about which it was not concerned - purely local school situations. If, however, you feel that I can serve you, and you still want me, I would be willing to give an impartial judgment in the situation. It would suit me better, however, not to appear as a witness. Very incerely yours Supervisor Silvery Secondary B Education Hall SBH/D
In this letter dated June 10, 1926, from Supervisor Silvery Secondary B Education Hall to Supt. O. L. Emerick, there is a reference to the Lincoln School contest in Purcellville, Virginia. Supervisor Hall expresses hesitation about being called as a witness, citing the need to carefully review the situation and avoid any interpretation of bias against the State Board of Education. He emphasizes the importance of keeping the matter localized and reiterates his willingness to provide impartial judgment if needed. This letter offers insights into the complexities of education administration at the local level and the delicate balance of authority between state and county boards in Virginia during the early 20th century.

Mrs. Mildred Jackson, Pres. Mrs: Melvina Beale, Sec: Mrs. Mary Hall, Vice Pres. Mrs. Jane Butler, Treas. PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION (Community League) Middleburg, Virginia. Jan. 16, 8945. Mr. 0. L. Emerick, Superintendent of Schools, Loudoun County, Leesburg, Virginia. Dear Mr. Emerick We, the undersigned patrons of the P.T.A. (League) of Grant School of Middleburg, Virginia, hereby respond to your communication as of December 13, 1944, a letter addressed to Mrs. Jane Butler. You have stated that a Board Meeting was held December 12, 1944, and a resolution was passed authorizing the appointment of an additional teacher at Middleburg's Colored School and also the payment of a reasonable amount for the rental of a room. We understand a committee proposing to represent the P.T.A. (League), acting as its chairman, Mr. John Wanzer, was present at this meeting. We wish to advise you that Mr. Wanzer nor any one of that committee was authorized to act for this P.T.A (League). Our legal adviser, Attorney James H. Raby of Alexandria, Virginia has communicated with you and please be advised that he is the only agent representing this body. After discussing your proposal to alleviate the school situation the P.T.A. (League), by means of majority vote, rejected such proposal based primarily on the following facts:- 1. The committee which represented the P.T.A. (League) at the Board Meeting was not valid. It was not appointed by the P.T.A. (League), hence, it could neither express the sentiments of nor make requests for the P.T.A. (League). 2. Though your condescending resolution might seem at first a fair gesture, we have discovered that it is far from being sound and tangible, for the Board failed in specificity concerning construction of building, and failed to make appropriations for the suggested construction. We have based this assumption on the contents of your letter, and furthermore on the fact that no contrary report has been published. With these facts in mind the temporary use of the extraterritorial expansion may be interpreted as an indefinite temporariness. This, of course, can be somewhat verified by the following illustrations:- a. The Watson Mountain School was started in the Church temporarily thirty years ago, and the temporariness has become permanent for the condition still exists. b. The Lincoln School, third room, was taught in the Church for a number of years temporarily and nothing was done to effect a permanence until it became unnecessary because of the depletion of students. Realizing, therefore, the existing facts together with 2 the deplorable conditions existing at Grant School --- the type of building; the overcrowding, the physical and mental overwork of the teachers, and the unsatisfactory personal help that can be given to individual children, we, as a group, beg that you take cognizance of the following proposals:- 1. That a new building be constructed sufficiently adequate to meet the needs and to continue in operation until such time it becomes obsolete, for a. The present one is a fire hazard. b. It lacks kitchen facilities to make possible the required hot lunches. c. It is a poor representative school of the County. d. It has been in existence over 60 years and is now obsolete. 2. Or, a new building be constructed adequately large enough for consolidation of the school of Middleburg and the neighboring schools of St. Louis, Willisville, Bull Run, and Marble Quary with bus facilities. In view of the fact we anticipate your informing us that a school cannot be built at this time because of the scarcity of building material and of priority, may we say that we are aware of the fact that all Boards of Education have such priority. Schools are being built today. It must be borne in mind that education, and more so proper education, is as important as ammunition on the battlefield. We are writing this letter not with any selfish motive but rather, asking for that which is rightfully ours. We wish to inspire our children to higher standards in order that they may be a credit not only to their community, but also to their County, their Country and to their Race. Consequently, we, as a group forming a solid phalanx, do implore upon your good judgment and foresight to grant us our request. Hoping that this will suffice, as heretofore communications have meant nothing. Sincerely yours, Manice BK. Edmead, M.D. Rev. J.H. Hoy Committee Robert Shefton Mrs Mildred Jackson 3.

On January 16, 1945, the Parent-Teacher Association (Community League) of Middleburg, Virginia, composed a letter to Mr. O.L. Emerick, Superintendent of Schools in Loudoun County, Leesburg, Virginia. The letter was a response to a communication dated December 13, 1944, in which Mr. Emerick discussed the appointment of an additional teacher at Middleburg's Colored School and the payment for a rental room. The P.T.A. (League) expressed their rejection of the proposal, citing concerns about the representation of their group at the Board Meeting and the lack of specificity in the resolution.

I am, therefore, suggesting that you present such complaints as you may have to your Division Superin- tendent of Schools or county school board and I feel very sure that they will do whatever they can to comply with justifiable requests. Very truly yours F. P. Jenkins, Director Administration and Finance FFJ/LFW January 18, 1941 wy Mr. F. F. Jenkins Béckbong, Virginia Dear Mr. Jenkins: The school board of this county has considered the case O referred to by C. T. Dean, Clifton, Virginia a number times. There are not sufficient children to operate a legal school. Our board has followed the uniform practice of providing transportation whenever a legal school is closed and we also have a regulation of our board providing for an allowance as aid for transportation to all parents having school children who live three or more miles from school. No distinction is made in this on account of color. We do not haul white and colored children in the same bus and we haven't thought of allowing both races to attend the same school. These two things are what are really in the minds of the colored people and their white friends who or are agitating this question the most, This is course all a guess, but 1t is based on 8 little bit of information. I inclose the letter from Mr. C. To Dean. Very sincerely yours, O. L. Emerick Division Superintendent OLE/mc Incl.
This correspondence from January 1941 sheds light on issues of school segregation in Virginia. The letter from C.T. Dean of Clifton, Virginia, addressed to the State Board of Education in Richmond, expresses concerns regarding school buildings or transportation facilities for children in his community. The reply from F.P. Jenkins, the Director of Administration and Finance, emphasizes that such matters fall under the jurisdiction of local school authorities. O.L. Emerick, the Division Superintendent, also responds to Mr. Jenkins, revealing that the school board in his county has dealt with similar cases and provides transportation aid for parents whose children live far from school. The mention of segregation concerns between white and colored students hints at the racial tensions and discriminatory practices prevalent in the educational system at that time in Virginia. This exchange highlights the ongoing struggles for educational equality and integration during the Jim Crow era.

PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION AND COMMUNITY LEAGUE Grant School Middleburg, Virginia February 6, 1946 Mr. 0. L. Emerick, District Superintendent of Schools, Loudoun County, Leesburg, Virginia. Dear Mr. Emerick: At our regular meeting held on February 4, 1946, your recent letter written to Dr. Edmead, chairman of our building site committe, wasdread. Indeed, it made us more informative than we had been before. Nevertheless, it was rather shocking to us to learn of your definite decision. We had been impressed with the fact, as conveyed by you, that our committee would have been informed voluntarily without having had to write to you. You, of course, evaded this point of the agreement. In addition, at our last gathering at the School Board meeting we had been informed that a plot of land could have been obtained definitely from Mr. William N. Hall at Maxville and that, were we satisfied with this location it would be a foregone conclusion. We definitely agreed to the proposal. Consequently, with your contrary decision and action we are undoubtedly disappointed. We feel certain that you have taken cognizance of the many disadvantages of the selection of a site in St. Louis. At any rate, may be have the pleasure and opportunity to point out, as we see them, some of the many disadvantages of constructing a school in St. Louis rather than in Middleburg:- 1. St. Louis roads are unsatisfactory, and during some winter months they are impassable. 2. The . land selected is swampy and will require extensive drain- age. In short, all landsin St. Louis present this feature. 3. St. Louis lacks all of the conveniences of stores, theatre, and denominational churches, 4. SSt. Louis lacks Negro leadership and Negro wealth. 5. St. Louis will not attract much patronage in case of school functions and activities. 6. In any school neighborhood there should be conducive surround- ings so as to offset the decoy of youngsters. St Louis does not present this qualification. 2. 7. In case of accidents, which undoubtedly will occur, a physician could not be reached immediately, neither could the proper first aid be administered because of the lack of clinical facilities. 8. The inhabitants of St. Louis are less progressive and less community conscious than those of Middleburg. Consequently, cooperation will be inadequate and inefficient. 9. Building such a school in St. Louis would not improve the panorama of our colored and white citizens. This should be one of our ultimate objectives, especially in this atomic age. 10. A building of such anticipated magnitude and architecture should be within the range of sightseers. Therefore, it should be definitely located, if not on, near a macadam road. Such an execution of contemplation and democratic principle shall, without the shadow of a doubt, revere you in the hearts of all Negroes. 11. Middleburg has always been the leading centre of the surround- ing communities for Negroes. It possesses leadership, wealth, progressiveness, and potentialities. 13. St. Louis has always presented a problem in the boarding of teachers the homes are limited and are without modern conveniences. The situation will be more perplexing with an increased staff. No one knows any better than you the difficulty in obtaining and retaining qualified teachers, particularly at so critical a time. Hence, we should at least attempt to make the surroundings pleasant for those who are here, those who are to come, and those who will stay. In short, we Negroes with broad minds and considerable forethought are desirous not only to facilitate improvement of ourselves alone, but for our white brethen as well. It must be borne in mind that a community cannot progress adequately half weak and half strong. We should be able to produce the same impact alike though it may be on opposite sides of the fence. Now that we have presented our points of view we beg to offer an alternative site Mr. William N. Hall's plot of ground at Maxville which is still available, We understand that the price is far beyond the Board's intended expenditure. However, realizing what it would mean to our race and posterity we have committed ourselves to reimburse Mr. Hall the deficit should you and the other members of the Board be so gracious as to grant us our request and conclude the deal. Conclusively, we, the undersigned patrons, citizens and taxpayers, petition you to reconsider the proposed site and substitute Mr. Hall's plot. Furthermore, we trust that you may be sufficiently open-minded to visualize our predicament as a race to extend to us due consideration and to make such considera- tion possible. action.

In this letter dated February 6, 1946, from the Parent-Teacher Association and Community League of Grant School in Middleburg, Virginia to Mr. O. L. Emerick, District Superintendent of Schools, numerous concerns are raised about the proposed building site for a new school. The letter highlights the disadvantages of selecting a site in St. Louis, emphasizing issues such as poor road conditions, lack of community amenities, and limited access to essential services like medical care. The writers argue that Middleburg would be a more suitable location for the school, citing reasons such as better infrastructure, community leadership, and overall progressiveness. Additionally, they offer an alternative plot of land owned by Mr. William N. Hall in Maxville as a potential solution, despite acknowledging the higher cost. The letter reflects the community's commitment to creating a positive environment for both Negro and white citizens and their desire for a thorough consideration of their concerns by the school board.

In March of 1926, a group of colored teachers in Loudoun County, Virginia, gathered at Round Hill to petition the Loudoun County School Board for a raise in salary. They argued that their current salaries were insufficient to meet the rising cost of living and that their duties warranted higher pay. Unfortunately, their petition was denied by the Board due to lack of available funds. This exchange highlights the ongoing struggle for fair compensation and recognition of teachers, particularly those in marginalized communities, during this period of American history. Despite their efforts, these teachers were not able to secure the pay increase they believed they deserved, reflecting the larger societal challenges faced by African American teachers in the early 20th century.

In this petition addressed to the Superintendent and School Board of Loudoun County, Virginia, dated from an unspecified time in history, the undersigned individuals express their concerns about the potential purchase of land adjacent to a colored high school property in Leesburg. They argue that the land in question would be more suitable as additional space for the Union Cemetery of Leesburg, rather than for a school. Highlighting that only a few colored children attending the high school actually live in the area, the petitioners believe that the location and surrounding environment of the proposed site are not ideal for the educational needs of colored children in the community. They stress the importance of selecting a location closer to the densely populated colored section of the town for the benefit of the students. This document provides insight into historical attitudes towards segregated education and the prioritization of cemetery space over school expansion in Loudoun County.

I was actually in your neck of the wood this morning beofre you called and stopped by to leave a 1940 era photo you might find interesting. I believe the photos are now off the facebook page. if not, let me know. I definitely hope we can develop a healthy relationship with regards to your building. Warm regards, Larry Roeder, Principal Investigator, the Edwin Washington Project Some additional bit of information and a few questions. I have been developing a catalog of the schools with contemporary and historical photos. The 1940 image is one of the historical ones. The catalog has my snaps in it, but it is not intended for the internet. I'd like to keep the images I took for reference purposes; but I'll put a note on them that they can't be shared without permission -- if that's ok with you. I had shared it with a few historian friends of mine, so after you and I spoke i asked them not to share. They are all responsible folks. As for the graveyard, there are five groups I know of that research graves in Loudoun. 1) The graveyard committee at the Balch Library, led by Mary Fishback. I don't think they inform people of the exact location and might be inactive at present. 2) I am also on the Black History Committee of the Friends of the Balch Library and have advised them against identifying the precise location of graveyards, for fear of people damaging tombstones or field stones. 3) Another group is led by pastor Michelle, a transplant African-American pastor with a deep interest in local history. She sponsors Black History events but I can't and would not wish to speak for her. I do suspect that were she aware of your cemetery, she would want to make the location public. She has also spoken of wanting to develop a DNA database that to link the deceased of all Black cemeteries with living folks here and in other counties. I have nothing to do with that exercise and NOT a supporter for a variety of reasons, including the protection of privacy. 4) Recently, I have been approached by people wanting to protect parts of Western Loudoun, especially around Aldie, thinking that the identification of graveyards might slow development. I also spoke recently to the Board of Supervisors in support of protecting your part of Loudoun, meaning Willisville in general. I tend to be on the side of those wanting to slow development, so I'm sympathetic; but I'd never reveal your cemetery without your permission. 5) Relatives of the buried have a right to the cemetery, so I've been led to believe, so I suspect you would not be able to prevent access or photography by them; but I'm an historian and retired Diplomat, not a lawyer. What you told me about white students attending is fascinating. I'll retain that point. If I understand your description of the structure, while we thought it was a one-room school house, it actually had two rooms. Now one room remains as before but the other has been divided up into bedrooms and a kitchen. That's very interesting, as Oscar Emerick, Superintendent at the time, wanted in 1930 to add a room. Did any blackboards survive. Do you know where the latrines and well would have been?

In 1922, the Brownsville community was embroiled in a debate over the location of schooling, with one faction advocating for the continuation of education at Brownsville and another pushing for a school to be established at the Odd-Fellows Hall in Hamilton. On December 22, 1922, a petition was submitted by parents in favor of keeping schooling at Brownsville, signed by individuals such as Walter Mussay, John A. Coff, and Russell Noble Burraw. In contrast, a petition dated December 6, 1922, supported the establishment of a school at the Odd-Fellows Hall and was signed by individuals including Margaret Smith, R. Off Fields, Lilly Ecasar, and Emily Siming. This historical document sheds light on the educational debates and community opinions of the time in Brownsville.

This document, dated March 6, 1926, is a petition from colored teachers in Loudoun County, Virginia, to the School Board. The teachers express concern that their current salaries are inadequate to cover the rising cost of living and argue that their duties and responsibilities warrant higher pay.

The Lincoln - Purcellville School Case The question is whether a new high school building shall be efected at Hincoln on the former site or in or near Purcell- ville on 2: new site. During or prior to the year 1909 patrons and other interested persons started 12 movement to erect H now high school building at Lineoln where for several years a high school had been conducted in a building of about four rooms which as remodeled is now used for all elementary school in that place. The best available evidence indicates that friends of the school offered to furnish the land and contribute 8,000 for the xerection 078 school building for him school purposes within 0/8 01 21 mil. 0.0 the 01 Goose Creek Meeting House and it was expressly provided that the same belong to the public school authorities o shid district and be a part of such school system. The district school board of Mt. Ciles decided to accept the gift ana operate a high school 812 Lincoin, An appeal was taxen from the action O. the district school board by citizens of Purcellville who asked trust the building be located near Purceliville and who offered to contribute as much as was offered at Lincoln. At the hearing before the school trustee electronic board Mr. Edward Nichols was very ordent in support of the Lincoln site and in the presence of those assembled promised to endov the school with $10,000 and to use his influence among rich friends to secure other Page 2 endowments to make the total about $20,000. The school trustee electoral board decided that the building should be on the site which was until recently Occupied, This board fixed the shape and size of the lot. It also ruled that contributions should amount to $18,000 as a minimum for the building and that the lot should also be contributed. Since that time it has developed that the promised endowment has not mnterinlized. Inquiry into the natter also reveals ZWXZ the Pact that a number of contributions were accepted with the secret understanding that the contributors would be exempt from all tuition that might be levied in the future. It is pertinent to note nere that the PurceIlville advocates did not reserve tuition charges out of their donations as promised. on April I, 1926 the high school building at Lincoln was completely destroyed by fire. There were left standing a shop valued at $1,000 and a cottage valued at $3,800. The insurance on the builting and contents amounting to $20,000 was paid promptly On April 10, 1926 a special meeting of the county school board 180 held to consider the location for the new high school Building to be erected. The board heard argu- - ments and decided to rebuild on the oli site. On April 26, 1926 an appeal from the decision of the county school board was filed with the division superintenient of schools. The appeal was by him referred to the school trustee electoral board on the same date. That board ruled that it had no jurisdic- tion because the division superintendent had lot proved or dis-approved the site. The division superintendent, there -3- . upon, formally notified the members of the county school board on April 27 of his dis-approval of the location selected and reported his action to the State Superintendent of Public In- struction on April 28, 1926. -4- The county school board of Loudoun County of Seven members cast a unanimous vote to rebuild at Lincoln. That the weight of this decision? The financial plan for our schools makes the finan- cing of a new building and the cost of its operation a matter of district cost alone. It has been the custom for the board to defer in most matters except those of the most gener- al nature to the wishes of judgment of the one member in whose district the question arises. The selection of teachers is even decided for the board by one member. On the county board or supervisors when a bridge or road is located one mem- ber usually decides for the board and theyconfirm his wish. I is a known fact that the Mt. Gilead member wanted the school at Lincoln and that he made XMM special trips to see several members of the board before the meeting when the question was passed upon. -b- Let us assume for the purpose of study that the origi- nal contributors have an equity other than as taxpayers and citizens in the Lincoln building or insurance. What then is the dollar value of that equity? These contributors gave $13,847 of which $2,000 was invested in land. No one expected any interest on the money. No one expected any increase on the amounts donated. The most hopeful expectation that these donators could possibly have had would have been the use of a building for the education of their children and grand children for fifty years. At the end of that time the building would be obselete and not of any Appreciable value. The land normally could be XMX expected to be still worth 2,000. The dountors had the use of the building for one- third of fifty years. Their maximum equity therefore would be 2/3 of $11,847 or $7898. From OKin must be deducted tuition rebates amounting to Approximat 1y $1400 these rebates were not standed alike xit donators who had children intern / bring tuition (2,000. Our difference is 6498 as the final equity and total claim, moral or otherwise of the original donators in the Lineoln public school property. The ideas refuting these statements and claiming * about all the insurance derived have been heard.

The text details the Lincoln - Purcellville School Case, which revolved around the decision of where to build a new high school in the early 20th century in Virginia. The debate was between Lincoln, where a high school had previously been conducted, and Purcellville, where citizens offered land and funding for a new school. After much deliberation, the school board decided to rebuild the high school at the original Lincoln site, despite opposition from Purcellville advocates. The decision ultimately came down to the members of the county school board, with the financial implications and equity of the original contributors being heavily considered. The case highlighted the complexities of local school governance and the competing interests involved in such decisions.

These letters from January 1941 between various education officials in the Commonwealth of Virginia reveal the complexities of segregation and educational opportunities for children in the state during the Jim Crow era. In the exchange, Mr. C. T. Dean from Clifton, Virginia, raises concerns about school buildings or transportation for children in his community. The response from Mr. F. P. Jenkins, Director of Administration and Finance, highlights the local jurisdiction over such matters and directs Mr. Dean to address his complaints to the Division Superintendent of Schools or county school board. Mr. O. L. Emerick, Division Superintendent, responds to Mr. Jenkins with information about the consideration given to Mr. Dean's case by the county school board, emphasizing the issue of operating a legal school and providing transportation to students.

Brownsville Petitions of 1922 1922 Petition about schooling at Brownsville Apparently in 1922 there was a discussion of moving schooling at Brownville to the Odd-Fellows Hall in Hamilton. This resulted in two competing petitions, one on Dec 22, 1922 from parents wanting schooling continue at Brownsville and one on Dec 6, 1922 calling for a school at the Odd-Fellows Hall in Hamilton.
The Brownsville Petitions of 1922 provide a glimpse into the educational debates and community dynamics of the time. The competing petitions, one advocating for the continuation of schooling at Brownsville and the other proposing a school at the Odd-Fellows Hall in Hamilton, reflect the differing perspectives of parents and community members. The petitions illustrate the importance placed on education and the efforts made by individuals to ensure access to schooling for their children. Ultimately, the outcome of these petitions sheds light on the power dynamics within the community and the decision-making processes regarding education in Brownsville during the early 20th century.

PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION AND COMMUNITY LEAGUE Grant School Middleburg, Virginia February 6, 1946 Mr. 0. L. Emerick, District Superintendent of Schools, Loudoun County, Leesburg, Virginia. Dear Mr. Emerick: At our regular meeting held on February 4, 1946, your recent letter written to Dr. Edmead, chairman of our building site committe, wasdread. Indeed, it made us more informative than we had been before. Nevertheless, it was rather shocking to us to learn of your definite decision. We had been impressed with the fact, as conveyed by you, that our committee would have been informed voluntarily without having had to write to you. You, of course, evaded this point of the agreement. In addition, at our last gathering at the School Board meeting we had been informed that a plot of land could have been obtained definitely from Mr. William N. Hall at Maxville and that, were we satisfied with this location it would be a foregone conclusion. We definitely agreed to the proposal. Consequently, with your contrary decision and action we are undoubtedly disappointed. We feel certain that you have taken cognizance of the many disadvantages of the selection of a site in St. Louis. At any rate, may be have the pleasure and opportunity to point out, as we see them, some of the many disadvantages of constructing a school in St. Louis rather than in Middleburg:- 1. St. Louis roads are unsatisfactory, and during some winter months they are impassable. 2. The . land selected is swampy and will require extensive drain- age. In short, all landsin St. Louis present this feature. 3. St. Louis lacks all of the conveniences of stores, theatre, and denominational churches, 4.SSt. Louis lacks Negro leadership and Negro wealth. 5. St. Louis will not attract much patronage in case of school functions and activities. 6. In any school neighborhood there should be conducive surround- ings so as to offset the decoy of youngsters. St Louis does not present this qualification.
The text is a letter dated February 6, 1946, from the Parent-Teacher Association and Community League of Grant School in Middleburg, Virginia, addressed to Mr. O. L. Emerick, the District Superintendent of Schools in Loudoun County. The letter expresses disappointment and shock in response to Mr. Emerick's decision regarding the selection of a site for a new school building. The association believed they had reached an agreement on a plot of land in Maxville, but Mr. Emerick's decision to choose a site in St. Louis instead was met with objections. The letter lists several reasons why St. Louis is not a suitable location for the school, including poor road conditions, swampy land, lack of amenities, community support, and safety concerns. The letter reflects the concerns and frustrations of the community regarding the decision-making process for the new school building.

The document addressed to the Loudoun County School Board in the mid-20th century highlights the concerns of the Citizens Committee regarding the inadequate conditions at Douglass High School. Emphasizing the importance of a conducive learning environment for the students, the Committee points out the significant role of the school plant in ensuring the success of educational programs. By bringing attention to the negative conditions present at the school in 1948 and 1950, the Committee urges the Board to take immediate action to address these issues in order to maintain the school's rating with the State Board of Education. This request reflects the broader historical context of segregated educational facilities and the ongoing struggle for equal access to quality education during this period in American history.

The Lincoln Graded School was built in 1879 or earlier and is 47 or more years old. The building was abandoned in 1909 with the idea of selling same but was remodeled about 5, 6, or 7 years later and has been used continuously since for the elementary school. We are norw receiving $300 annual state subsidy for this school as a standard elementary school but a good many defects are being overloked temporarily by the State officials. A standard school must have two acres of land and a building that meets statute requirements. ( page 71 of School Code ) . The lot contains 1/4 acre only whereas two acres as a minimum is required for a standard elementary school. The building is heated by stoves and ventilated through flues without sufficient capacity. There are no interior toilets. (Other defect shown on next two sheets) Lincoln Graded School Lower F1001 7 Windows. - 18 light- 10"x14" openings 2'-10%" 7-9" = 156 sqft. Ceiling height - 12feet.

The Lincoln Graded School, constructed in 1879 or possibly earlier, has a history marked by periods of abandonment and renovation. In 1909, the building was left vacant with intent to sell, but a remodel took place roughly 5, 6, or 7 years later. Since then, it has functioned continuously as an elementary school, receiving a $300 annual state subsidy. However, numerous deficiencies have been noted by state officials, such as inadequate land size, poor heating and ventilation systems, and a lack of interior toilets. Despite these shortcomings, the school remains in operation, with classrooms on the lower and upper floors accommodating up to 32 and 29 pupils respectively. The building's architectural features, including windows, ceiling heights, blackboards, and air space, do not meet required standards as outlined in the School Code.

COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION RICHMOND file fine ah & and cantes May 29, 1926 Loudoun County Superintendent 0. L. Emerick Purcellville, Virginia My dear Mr. Emerick: Let me advise, in reply to your letter of May 27, that in Lancaster county this spring the board decided to consolidate the high school work of three or four schools at one point. There was an appeal to the electoral board, which confirmed the action of the school board, and then an appeal to the circuit court. The court requested me to send the High School Supervisor or a commission of three to study the situation in the district affected and to give the benefit of this study to the court. This was done, and the court finally upheld in practical effect the recommendation of the superintend- ent and the action of the county school board. In answer to your second letter, please let me say that if the judge in your county desire an impartial study to be made I shall be very glad to appoint a commission of three to make a careful survey of the district and report its findings to the court. This commission ought to be composed of not more than one man from this Department, one, say, from the Bureau of Education at Washington, and one from one of the higher institutions in the State or from some other county. The study and conclusions of such a commission would naturally be more persuasive and impelling than a review by either Mr. Hall or by me. With best wishes, I am Yours very truly Damain Hard Harris Hart Superintendent of Public Instruction HH:P
In this letter dated May 29, 1926, from Damian Hart Harris, the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the Commonwealth of Virginia, to Loudoun County Superintendent O. L. Emerick, the issue of school consolidation and appeals to the court system is addressed. The letter discusses a similar situation in Lancaster County where the school board's decision to consolidate high school work at one location was upheld by the court following a study by a commission of three individuals. Harris offers to appoint a similar commission to study the situation in Loudoun County if the judge desires an impartial assessment. This correspondence highlights the process of decision-making and oversight in the Virginia school system during the early 20th century, emphasizing the importance of expert advice and objective analysis in resolving educational disputes.

On February 6, 1946, the Parent-Teacher Association and Community League of Grant School in Middleburg, Virginia sent a letter to Mr. O. L. Emerick, the District Superintendent of Schools in Loudoun County. The letter expressed the disappointment and shock of the committee upon learning of Mr. Emerick's decision regarding the selection of a site for a new school building. The committee outlined numerous disadvantages of constructing the school in St. Louis, emphasizing the lack of suitable surroundings, infrastructure, community amenities, and access to necessary services like medical care. They proposed an alternative site in Maxville owned by Mr. William N. Hall, despite its higher cost. The committee urged Mr. Emerick to reconsider his decision and emphasized the importance of creating a positive impact on the local community, both white and black. The letter was signed by a diverse group of patrons, citizens, and taxpayers, showcasing unified support for their proposed alternative location.

Board to build and establish a suitable up-to-date High School Building and maintain therein an accredited High School for the benefit of the colored children of our said County.

After passing through the said Public Schools we are now compelled to send our children out of the County for a complete High School education. We propose by private contributions to raise all the funds that we can -- which we believe will not be inconsiderable and, as we are informed, there are otherx sources of aid such as the Rosenwald and other funds for this purpose which need, of course, to be supplemented by an appropri- - ation by your Board out of the Public Funds.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE MEETING OF THE LOUDOUN COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD. Q. If the school is located in Purcellville would the Purcellville people donate ten acres of ground? A. No thing of the kind has been said. Q. The supervisor from Mt. Gilead District is here. Would there be any question about increasing the taxes, Mr. Rogers? A. I do not think the Iamers are in is very good condition to to tax any more. o. HOW do you think the majority of the taxpayers will feel over the thing? A. I have not seen a majority. I know the general howl is too high taxes. Q. Is the increase of taxes a question at this time, or is the cost any greater to build a high school at Purcellville than at Lincoln? A. The building is not the only proposition. We would have to sell the cottage and reinvest and the shop would have to be considered. The cottage would be sold at a loss and we would have to put an acre of ground with it. E. I feel the land and loss on the building would have to be paid by those who wanted it moved. we could build the same building at approximately the same cost at either place. Q. Has Purcell ville made any offer of land or o therwise? A. Not so far as I know. Q. It seems to me that the time for them to have made a statement -2- would have been at this meeting 90 the Board could act upon it. Q. HOW was the location first made at Lincoln? A. The proposition came from the people to put up the building and they put up the money. The District Board at that time did not want to build it. In this case the school Board is planning to build the building. Charlie Ford suggested to use the Round Hill building and not build the high school. (Applause) 2. If the building were put up at Purcellville, what would be the action of the Jefferson District. A. At pregent, as I see it, we have a surplus of buildings in our district. The complaint is that we have not the attend- ance to fill them. That being the case it looks as though Jefferson District would not want to put up more buildings. Purcellville helped on the Round Hill school and we paid back the score when we built the Purcellville building. Q. Then the question is up to Mt. Gilead. The complaint is the crowded bus. This is because the children from outside of Purcellville come in the bus and the bus is already over-crowded. S. I do not see why the bus cannot stand the pregent crowd for such a small distance. We are going to have Will Steele put a bar across the top and the children can stand up for that short a distance. The bus is a 2 1/2 T. capacity and will easily carry the children. cost in Q. what would be the difference inshauling the Purcellville children to Lincoln or the Lincoln children to Purcellville? A. There would be the children from North Fork and tho ge from Lincoln. I do not think there would be 3, great deal of -3- difference in the cost. S. We are running one bus from Purcellville and one from Hamilton The Purcellville bus has one of the students to run it and one of the teachers rides on it. From Hamilton we have a splendid man to run the bus . The Purcellville bus has ( to be frank) a teacher who is not a good disciplinarian. If we had a teacher who was a good disciplinarian the proposition of the Purcellville bus would be 0. K. We have considered having the Hamilton man bring the Purcellville children also, but that would mean that the Hamilton people would have to start 1/2 hour earlier in the morning and then come to Purcelli ville and get them. Then in the evening Mr. Love would have to take the Purcellville children home and then come and get the Hamilton children. It would make them get home so late. Q. HOW far is it from the center of Purcellville to Davis' cor- ner? A. one-half mile. Q. What difference would you figure would there be in erecting a building in Purcellville or at Lincoln? A. It would be the difference in the cost of the cottage and the shop, My idea is to build a building just what we need so that it could be enlarged. If a Purcellville school were built it would be necessary to build it larger to answer the coming needs. Q. would it effect the enrollment if the school were built in purcellville instead of Lincoln? A. If the school at Purcellville got any more children, they would come mostly from Round Hill or Bluemont. -4- 2. What is the argument in favor of building at Love's corner instead of at Lincoln? A. The argument i3 that it would be shorter for all pupils. worth E. It a great deal to have the high school and the grade school together. Our methods of teaching the first grade and the seventh grade children is just 23 different and they are in the same building. There is decided argument in favor of combining the two. If the building is in Purcellville with a bus being run from Lincoln, I do not see any advantage in having the pupils separated. A child on his way from Hamilton would not be saved much by coming to the Love's corner to Purcellville, or to Lincoln. I think the agricultural part of the thing would be the objection. They would object to its being in town. I do not think it would be acceptable in the town. They want the outside setting. S. I am opposed to having a high school and a grade school together. The playing of the high school and grade school children together is a greater proposition. There is a wonderful difference at Lincoln since we separated them. E. I do not think this would be so difficult. There is one boy in the Purcellville School who took charge of the play grounds and they were helpless to deal wi th the situation. The teachers managed to work it out. S. If you had teachers enough to direct the whole play it would be a wonderful thing, but 1 have not been able to get the teachers to do it. E. If the building is out at Lincoln, it will take more than one bus to haul the children from Purcellville to Lincoln.
The text is a record of a meeting of the Loudoun County School Board, discussing the potential location of a new high school in Purcellville or Lincoln. Various questions were raised about land donations, tax increases, transportation logistics, and the impact on enrollment. Arguments were made for and against building the high school in Purcellville, with some advocating for the advantages of having the high school and grade school together, while others expressed concerns about mixing different age groups. The debate also touched on the idea of combining multiple schools, potential objections from the agricultural community, and the practicalities of bus transportation. Ultimately, the meeting revealed complex considerations and differing opinions on the best course of action for the school district.

COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION RICHMOND June 9, 1926 Loudoun County Supt. O.L. Emerick Purcellville, Virginia My dear Mr. Emerick: In reply to your letter of June 5th asking for my reaction to a summons to appear before the judge of the circuit court in connection with the Lincoln-Purcellville school contest, I want to say that the Department is very glad to be of any service to you, the school board or the community that we possibly can. It is very doubtful, however, if my appearance as a witness would help matters along very much, either for you or for the Depart- ment, as there is always a local tendency to resent what appears to be State interference with a matter that is almost purely a local problem. I would suggest that if you think we could be of any service to you that you confer with the judge, and if it is his wish, ask him to request Mr. Hart to have a study made of the situation and report to him and confer with him, if he wishes, concerning the study. If the judge should desire such a study I am sure Mr. Hart would be glad to have Mr. Hall, the supervisor of high schools, and myself come to Loudoun and take a day or two, or as much time as is necessary, to study the situation carefully and make a report to the judge. This I believe would be really worth while if the judge wishes it, but I doubt if my appear- ance as a witness would materially help either you, the board, or the State Department of Education. I trust this answers your inquiry. Very truly yours Raymon V. Using Raymond Long Supervisor School Buildings RVL:LB
In this letter dated June 9, 1926, Raymon V. Long, Supervisor of School Buildings in Richmond, Virginia, responds to Loudoun County Supt. O.L. Emerick regarding a summons to appear before the judge of the circuit court in relation to the Lincoln-Purcellville school contest. Long expresses willingness to assist the local community but notes the potential for local resentment towards state intervention in a matter perceived as purely local. He suggests that a study be conducted by Mr. Hart, the supervisor of high schools, and himself, at the judge's request, to provide a report on the situation in Loudoun County. Long's response reflects the delicate balance between state oversight and local autonomy in educational matters during this period of Virginia history.

The text provides a detailed account of the deteriorated sanitation conditions in Conklin, a predominantly African-American community, in the early 1990s. Despite repeated requests for sewer services, the county consistently refused to invest in the area, citing poor soil conditions and political priorities. As a result, residents were left to rely on inadequate sanitation facilities, such as portable toilets, leading to unsanitary conditions and health risks. The lack of proper water access and sanitation ultimately contributed to the decline of Conklin as a sustainable community. The text highlights the struggles faced by residents, like Beatrice Jackson, who had to walk long distances for water and use outhouses for basic necessities. The varied responses from residents, some choosing to stay and resist, while others opting to leave in search of better living conditions, reflect the complex history of Conklin and its challenges.

There was even a contract was 6 month for $40 a month. However the school was closed, according to a resolution of the county school board (Emerick R. M., 1924). See also the Loudoun County enrollment cards in the archives of the Loudoun County Schools in Round Hill, Loudoun. There was also nothing in the Richmond school files (Virginia Department of Public Instruction, 1892-1975, p. Reel 4438). O. L. EMERICK Education for African Americans was uneven. In 1924 Superintendent Loudoun County Schools, Secretary-Treasurer Superintendents Association for 1922 Figure 1 Oscar L. Emerick (Staff, for example, the Jeanes Fund, a one-million-dollar national 1921) fund donated by Miss Anna T. Jeanes of Philadelphia, allowed Loudoun to hire a superintendent for Negro schools; but the county did not do so until 1931. The same year, (1924) Conklin School was closed, due to an attendance of less than ten students, which Emerick found to be unlawful (Emerick O. L., 1924)." (School Board, 1924). That would have been a good year to have an advocate in the system. Mr. John F. Ryan did speak on behalf of "the colored people of Conklin" and requested that the Conklin School be open in the 1925-26 session; but this was denied by the School Board on March 17, that despite the prominence of Mr. Ryan.

My dear Mr. Ryan; The County School Board adopted a resolution declining to operate the Conklin school in 1924-25 on the ground that con- sidering the average attendance of last year which was less than 10 there are not now sufficient children to make a lawful school. Very sincerely yours, Oh Emerch Division Superintendent. OLE-RME Figure 4 Letter from Emerick to J.F. Ryan July 12, 1924 The letter was signed by O.L. Emerick, who had been Loudoun Superintendent since July 1, 1917 (Stearnes R. , 1918). It is interesting to note that John F. Ryan (born 1849) was a retired white gentleman living on the farm of Arthur Mankin, a white farmer on Arcola Road in the Broad Run District of Loudoun (US Census Bureau, 1920). He had been an important State Delegate serving as the Speaker of the House of Delegates from 1894 to 1899 and again from 1901 until 1906; but that political prominence proved of no avail. Conklin didn't reopen until the 1926/27 Academic Year. The original of the 1924 letter to Ryan is in the Prosperity Baptist Church Archives School. Research Note: Hon John F. Ryan Figure 5 John F, Ryan More research is required to examine Mr. Ryan's attitude towards the education of African-Americans. Given the politics of the time, he likely supported segregation; but was he otherwise supportive of education? Did he support adequate funding, etc? Note: The question of financial support for education is important. As an example of the inequality between White and "Black" schools, "in 1925, Loudoun County spent an average of $29.27 to educate each white pupil, but only $9.81 on each African-American student. The minimum annual salary for an African-American elementary school teacher was $315; annual salaries for white elementary school teachers started at $520.4 (Causey & Claypool, 2010)¹. "In the late 1910s, the county school superintendent and school board developed programs to replace one-room elementary schools for whites with graded schools that served a larger geographical area, but made little effort to consolidate schools for African Americans (Causey & Claypool, 2010)2" 1 See also Richard Kluger, Simple Justice: The History of Brown V.

The 1924/25 academic year in Loudoun County saw the closure of Conklin School despite efforts by J.F. Ryan to keep it open, with Ewing set to instruct. Educational opportunities for African Americans remained unequal, with evidence showing the county spent significantly less on Black students than on white ones. John F. Ryan, a prominent figure advocating for Conklin School, failed to persuade the County School Board to keep it operational for the upcoming year due to low attendance numbers. This closure highlighted the systemic challenges faced by African American students in securing educational resources and support during this time, as evidenced by the unequal funding and treatment compared to their white counterparts. The archival letters and documents shed light on the struggles and disparities endured by Black communities seeking adequate education in the region.

The property, now owned by Loudoun County, was previously owned in 2011 by Mrs. Laverne R. Grant and CT Perkins, el Al, who then lived at 65 Adams St., NW, Washington, DC 20001-1026. The County research did not go further back into time. Source: (ECS Mid- Atlantic, LLC, 2011, July 29, p. 56) In the spring of 2013 I began an informal study of properties along Route 50 and Braddock road in Loudoun County, a continuation of an interest in disappearing JOSEPHI NKL IN structures I developed during my run for County Supervisor in 2009- 2010. By way of background, I have been examining old homes and office buildings since the 1970's as part of family research and local history research in the Middle East. Figure 1 Stone from Conklin Cemetery One of the reasons for examining the portion of Braddock Road along the south face of South Riding where the property lies was that this area is also Conklin, an unincorporated village that has largely been forgotten by its contemporary residents, especially in South Riding, a major homes owners association running along the north side of the road I've been interested in the experiences of African-American families that migrated to this region of Loudoun County just prior to and after the Civil 4 History of Conklin Village -- Volume Four War. Nearly all of the area was agricultural and with advent of emancipation became a mix of white and African-American farms. Little of that heritage remains, with the exception the land south of Braddock, which is still largely rural and Prosperity Baptist Church on the north side which was started on the south side in 1899 by former slave Jennie Dean. There are also various historical cemeteries along Braddock. One is the Conklin Cemetery just to the west of South Riding on the north side of Braddock. Another is the Hampton Brewer Cemetery, which is on private land at the south fence of the J. Michael Lunsford Middle School, the contemporary school to the immediate west of the Cardinal Ridge property. Hampton Brewer was a farmer from Prince William County who is thought to have a brought a group of former slaves over from Fairfax County, some of whom are likely buried at his cemetery and the descendants of Figure 2 Conklin School, 1940, photo courtesy of LCPS. whom helped begin and nurture the Prosperity Baptist Church (Roeder, Hampton Brewer and His Freed African Americans, 2013)¹, Along Ticonderoga Road on the west side of Lunsford was also the Conklin Colored School, built on land obtained in 1873 by the local Broad Run District school board from Horace Adee and continued until about 1942, though the structure stood until around 1976, was turned into a residence and then burned down. 1 Though the current building is newer than the original structure, the community was begun by former slave Jennie Dean, who raised money for the project. 5 History of Conklin Village -- Volume Four A description of the school and the experience of "colored" students is covered in in A History of Conklin Village, Loudoun County, Volume One: A Basic History (Roeder, A History of Conklin Village, Loudoun County, Volume One: A Basic History, 2014). Too often structures of local importance have disappeared without sufficient public debate, in some cases because they don't qualify for National or State protection or because they were not in a local historic district. Perhaps no one of importance lived or worked in the structure or it was associated with an historically important event. Conklin was the oldest school in Eastern Loudoun at one time (Scheel, 1976) and should have qualified for protection. We need in Loudoun County to have a sensible public debate over this issue. Preserving heritage is important. I had noticed since moving to Loudoun that other structures of "modest importance" and some of real importance had also disappeared, so in June, 2013 a local resident of the old Conklin community asked if I'd be interested in visiting an abandoned farm across from the Prosperity Baptist Church. The trip sounded interesting and there were no signs preventing entry, so we went. The farm to which Ronnie Arnold took me was on the "Grant Perkins Property," designated to be the location for Cardinal Ridge Elementary School and described in two LCPS surveys in 2011 as site 44IDI600. See also a report by the school system on responses to referral comments (LCPS, 2013, Jan 10). Because I was informed that the land was going to be razed in about two weeks, my research was an informal photographic survey during which I tried to identify buildings, any water wells, structures of historical importance or graves. Overgrowth prevented entry in some and structural integrity of others was very weak. Names given to structures in my study are notional for ease of research. With the exception of a two story log house, we don't know for certain how they were used when constructed. By 2013, the barn and sheds had little in them, debris, old beds, chairs, boxes, moldy books, stacks of wooden planks, etc. 6
Larry Roeder's Volume Four of the History of Conklin Village delves into the history of Cardinal Ridge on the Old Allen Farm, shedding light on the relationships between the families who owned the property at different points in time. The book provides a detailed map of structures on the property, including a main barn, hog shed, wood shed, and well house, among others. Roeder emphasizes the importance of historic preservation in the Loudoun County area, particularly in regards to structures like the Conklin Colored School that have been lost over time. The volume also discusses the disappearing heritage of African-American families in the region and the efforts to document and preserve their history. Roeder's work serves as a call to action for the community to engage in public debate and take steps to protect and honor the historical significance of structures like those found on the Old Allen Farm.

This text, Volume 6 of the Conklin Village Study, written by Larry Roeder in July 2014, delves into the white educational experiences in Conklin Village, Loudoun County. Roeder acknowledges the changing demographics of Conklin Village from its predominantly white settler population to its later African-American residents, whose prominence declined due to modern housing developments. The study focuses on white students and their families up to the 1930s, aiming to compare educational opportunities for African-Americans and whites and provide a comprehensive view of the population's size, composition, and economic circumstances. Roeder uses the volume to highlight the interactions between white farmers and African-Americans in the community, shedding light on the interconnected social fabric of Conklin Village. The text also addresses sensitive racial terminology and strives to honor individuals' preferences while maintaining historical accuracy.

Biography on William Horace Ash By Larry Roeder1 12-Nov-14 William H. Ash and his wife Sally B Ash instructed as Public School teachers at the Leesburg Colored School from 1894 to 1897. Initially, their home as in Leesburg; but by 1896, they moved to Burke in Nottoway County. Mr. Ash is particularly interesting as an instructor because he was born into slavery in Loudoun County in 1859, yet attended Hampton Normal School, became a member of the Virginia Legislature and "aimed to be a successful lawyer," all of this before teaching at Leesburg. By 1893, Ash had been a teacher for 5.5 years, had 200 scholars under him, eleven of whom also became teachers. In addition to Hampton, he was educated by the Pennsylvania Abolition Society2 and Mrs. Martha C. Reed (Hampton Staff, 1893). Ash founded the Teacher's Reading Circle in 1884, which was the first statewide organization of African- American educators. He was also elected President. In 1884, Ash also served as a Nottoway county delegate to the Republican state party convention. He won election to the legislature, where he focused on education and began to study for the law, but didn't practice. Ash then lost election in 1888 and married Sallie B. Miller of Nottoway on 29 May, 1889, then moved to Leesburg in 1891; but returned to Nottoway in 1904 when he tried to buy a defunct white women's school. With that failure behind him, she joined Swift Memorial Institute in Rogersville, Tennessee, where he taught nine classes, including Latin and beekeeping. In 1907 taught agriculture at Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute in Ettrick, then died 14 February, 1908 of kidney failure (Library of Virginia). Works Cited Hampton Staff. (1893).

William H. Ash was a remarkable figure in African-American education and politics in the late 19th century. Born into slavery, he overcame his circumstances to attend Hampton Normal School, becoming a respected teacher and member of the Virginia Legislature. Ash founded the Teacher's Reading Circle, the first statewide organization of African-American educators, and served as its President. He also participated in Republican politics, serving as a delegate to the state party convention. After marrying Sallie B. Miller, he taught at various institutions, including Swift Memorial Institute and Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, until his untimely death in 1908. William H. Ash's legacy as a pioneer in education and civil rights continues to be remembered and celebrated.

Because I was informed that the land was going to be razed in about two weeks, my research was an informal photographic survey during which I tried to identify buildings, any water wells, structures of historical importance or graves. Overgrowth prevented entry in some and structural integrity of others was very weak. Names given to structures in my study are notional for ease of research. With the exception of a two story log house, we don't know for certain how they were used when constructed. By 2013, the barn and sheds had little in them, debris, old beds, chairs, boxes, moldy books, stacks of wooden planks, etc. 6
The text outlines the history of Conklin Village in Loudon County, focusing on the Cardinal Ridge Old Allen Farm through the eyes of Larry Roeder. Roeder provides a detailed account of the historical significance of the area, including the relationship between Cardinal Ridge and the Hampton Brewer "Group" as well as the African-American families that settled in the region before and after the Civil War. He highlights the disappearing heritage of the area and the importance of historic preservation, pointing out structures of historical significance that have been lost over time. The study delves into the heritage of African-American families, the local school system, and the overall cultural landscape of the area. Roeder's research is presented in a comprehensive manner, shedding light on the forgotten history of Conklin Village and the Old Allen Farm.

A History of Conklin Village, Loudoun County Volume Two: Historical Documents BY LARRY ROEDER, MS Comments and corrections are welcome. Email Larry Roeder at admin@artbyroeder.com Note: very likely more information will emerge over time, even after the volume is printed. Our intent is to add the additional information to the on-line version. This study is copyrighted by Larry Roeder, MS, 7/11/14. On-line versions of each volume are available in PDF format at the Conklin Village Project, http://conklinproject.wordpress.com/. Printed copies will be sold on amazon.com. 1 History of Conklin, Loudoun, Va. Volume 2: Historical Documents. Introduction This volume contains computer scans of historical documents of importance to the series on Conklin History from the archives of the Circuit Court of Loudoun County and the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin. Digital copies of all of these records and other files are also stored at the archives of the Prosperity Baptist Church. Chapter II 1. contains copies of registrations for freed slaves that moved to Loudoun County with Hampton Brewer before the Civil War. Those African-Americans and their descendants are the main focus of the Conklin series, though clearly there were many, very interesting "white" people who lived in Conklin as well and whose history deserves to be told in the second edition, which will consolidate all information. The registrations in Section One were essential documents in Virginia before the close of the Civil War, without which freed slaves could be punished. We highly recommend that those interested in slavery and racial discrimination go to the archives of the Circuit Court of Loudoun in Leesburg, Virginia and take a look. Their entire collection has yet to be digitized, so we hope that can be accomplished, not only to help African- Americans better understand their family history; but also so that all Americans can understand this important aspect of slavery and segregation. Chapter II 2. contains copies of interesting church documents and artifacts from the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin. The originals are in the archives and can be seen by making an appointment. One of the more interesting is a letter to Charles Dean from 1893. Chapter 11 3 contains a scanned copy of a handwritten hymn book by the Secretary of Prosperity Baptist Church, Christine Allen. The hand written collection contains 18 hymns and songs, mostly associated with Christmas. We suspect the book was written during the depression when Christina was a student, though there is no date. A school is named on the cover, but age has made it impossible to make out. 2 History of Conklin, Loudoun, Va. Volume 2: Historical Documents. Some pieces are quite famous and were authored by people like Handel and Verdi. One piece, Cockles and Mussels is now the anthem of the City of Dublin and is the story of a beloved prostitute and fish monger who died of fever, not a normal church hymn. Rheuben Rache/was also a popular comic song used by Minstrels and rewritten following World War One with an earthy tone. Another is OL Satin, a part of a famous Negro spiritual. Most are variants of the original text, so I've also included the "official text" when I could find them, and some history. One piece called Washington was a popular patriotic hymn, well known to school children in the 1920s and 30s. In each case, I've tried to provide information on the author and the original words. Chapter II 4 is a scan of a wonderful, small notebook full of handwritten comments on life in Conklin in the 1920's, mostly through unordered financial transactions and personal notes, mainly 1926 to 1928, some as early as 1916. There is some art as well as poetry. I don't know for sure who made the notes, but because of the emphasis on activities of the Lucien Allen family, one of his children or perhaps his wife probably created the notebook. His wife was Mary Dean Allen (1880-1960), who acquired a BS in Education from Hampton Institute and taught at Conklin Colored School before returning to Hampton in 1940. In order to understand its context, the book should also be read in conjunction with volume one in the series. Language Related to Race Racial terminology is a very sensitive topic. When I worked with native-Americans, I came to realize that some tribal members called themselves: Indians, Native-Americans or by their tribe, e.g. Navajo. When talking to Bedouins in Egypt, they preferred Bedouin or al-'Arab, not Egyptian. Racial terms like African-American, Black, Negro, Colored, Mulatto, etc. are used in the volumes in this series and will offend some people; but they should be seen in the context of the source document or interviewee. After a discussion with Pastor Lawson of Prosperity Baptist Church, it was agreed that I would use the term African-American when speaking in my voice of people descendant 3 History of Conklin, Loudoun, Va. Volume 2: Historical Documents. from African slaves; however, census and county records would in the past often refer to people as colored, Negro or mulatto. Contemporary interviewees might say Black or colored. In those instances, I use the term proposed by the source. No term is universally used by the world, so it is our hope that the readers will understand that we are trying to honor people and never offend. We welcome other suggestions.

Nov 8, 2014 Catalog of Special Sources Introduction Page 2 This study is not a comprehensive review of sources of information on the African-American experience in Loudoun. Many books, manuscripts and studies, etc. have already been done on that topic, especially by the Balch Library and its committees. This catalog relates instead to the development of the Conklin Village Project, which was commissioned by the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin, Loudoun County, and parallel studies that I'm doing with the Black History Committee of the Balch Library aimed at documenting pre- integration schools and African-American communities. Many of these sources have never been published or listed in any reference book; some are more traditional sources. Some of the works reviewed are directly pertinent to African-Americans; others will have a broader appeal. They are held in: the Library of Virginia in Richmond, the Balch Library in Leesburg, the archives of the County Board of Supervisors for Loudoun, in Leesburg, the Loudoun Museum in Leesburg, the archives of the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin, the archives of the Loudoun County Public School records office in Round Hill, and the archives of the Circuit Court of Loudoun County in Leesburg. 2 Nov 8, 2014 Catalog of Special Sources Contents Introduction 2 1.

The property was previously owned in 2011 by Mrs. Laverne R. Grant and CT Perkins, el Al, who then lived at 65 Adams St., NW, Washington, DC 20001-1026. The County research did not go further back into time. Source: (ECS Mid-Atlantic, LLC, 2011, July 29, p. 56). The current address is: 26155 Bull Run Post Office Road, Centreville, VA 20120. (Note: Centreville is in Fairfax; but the school is in Loudoun). In the spring of 2013, I began an JOSEPH.R informal study of properties along ONKLIN Route 50 and Braddock road in Loudoun County, a continuation of an interest in disappearing structures I developed during my run for County Supervisor in 2009- 2010. By way of background, I have been examining old homes and office buildings since the 1970's as Figure 1 Stone from Conklin Cemetery part of family research and local history research in the Middle East, the United States and Europe. One of the reasons for examining the portion of Braddock Road is that this area is also Conklin, an unincorporated village that has largely been forgotten by contemporary residents. I've also been interested in the experiences of African-American families that migrated to this region of Loudoun County just prior to and after the Civil War. https://conklinproject.wordpress.com/ Page 3 History of Conklin Village : Cardinal Ridge and the Old Allen Farm Nearly all of the area was agricultural and with advent of emancipation became a mix of white and African-American farms. Little of that heritage remains, with the exception the land south of Braddock, which is still largely rural and Prosperity Baptist Church on the north side which was started on the south side in 1899 by former slave Jennie Dean. There are also various historical cemeteries along Braddock that are described on the Conklin Village Project website https://conklinproject.wordpress.com/. One is the Saffer Cemetery just to the west of South Riding on the north side of Braddock. Another is the Hampton Brewer Cemetery, which is on private land at the south fence of the J. Michael Lunsford Middle School, the contemporary school to the immediate west of the Cardinal Ridge property. There is also the Dean Cemetery to the least of the Brewer Cemetery. Hampton Figure 2 Conklin School, 1940, photo courtesy of LCPS. Brewer was a farmer from Prince William County who is thought to have a brought a group of former slaves over from Fairfax County, some of whom were likely buried at his cemetery and the descendants of whom helped begin and nurture the Prosperity Baptist Church (Roeder, Hampton Brewer and His Freed African Americans, 2013)¹ Along Ticonderoga Road on the west side of Lunsford was also the Conklin Colored School, built on land obtained in 1873 by the local Broad Run District school board from Horace Adee and continued until about 1942, though the structure stood until around 1976, was turned 1 Though the current building is newer than the original structure, the community was begun by former slave Jennie Dean, who raised money for the project. https://conklinproject.wordpress.com/ Page 4 History of Conklin Village : Cardinal Ridge and the Old Allen Farm into a residence and then burned down. A description of the school and the experience of "colored" students are covered in a specific volume in the series on the school and its students and teachers. In addition, the Black History Committee (BHC) in 2014 began an extensive research project to document all "colored" schools in Loudoun. Too often, structures of local importance have disappeared without sufficient public debate, in some cases because they don't qualify for National or State protection or because they were not in a local historic district. Perhaps no one of importance lived or worked in the structure or it was associated with an historically important event. Conklin was the oldest school in Eastern Loudoun at one time (Scheel, 1976) and should have qualified for protection. We need in Loudoun County to have a sensible public debate over this issue. Preserving heritage is important. I had noticed since moving to Loudoun that other structures of "modest importance" and some of real importance had also disappeared, so in June, 2013 a local resident of the old Conklin community asked if I'd be interested in visiting an abandoned farm across from the Prosperity Baptist Church. The trip sounded interesting and there were no signs preventing entry, so we went. The farm to which Ronnie Arnold took me was on the "Grant Perkins Property," designated to be the location for Cardinal Ridge Elementary School and described in two LCPS surveys in 2011 as site 44IDI600. See also a report by the school system on responses to referral comments (LCPS, 2013, Jan 10). Because the land was going to be razed in about two weeks, my research was limited to an informal photographic survey during which I tried to identify buildings, water wells, structures of historical importance or graves. Overgrowth prevented entry in some and structural integrity of others was very weak, so safety was also a consideration. Names given to structures in my study are notional for ease of research. With the exception of a two story log house, we don't know for certain exactly how the structures were used when constructed. By 2013, the barn and sheds had little in them, debris, old beds, chairs, boxes, moldy books, stacks of wooden planks, etc. https://conklinproject.wordpress.com/ Page 5
The text "History of Conklin Village: Cardinal Ridge and the Old Allen Farm" by Larry Roeder, MS, published on February 5, 2015, delves into the historical significance of the Grant-Perkins property, located in the unincorporated village of Conklin, Loudoun County, Virginia. Roeder's research uncovers the agricultural and racial history of the area, shedding light on the experiences of African-American families post-Civil War.

Lloyd Information Center for Genealogy and Local History (RELIC). 4 Vol 1: Conklin Village Project By Larry Roeder http://conklinproject.wordpress.com/ A History of Conklin Village, Loudoun, Virginia Special thanks must be given to Justice Asa Rogers, in 1861 the Presiding Judge of the Loudoun Circuit Court. With the Civil War about to go into full swing, it was clear to Rogers and others that Federal troops would march through Loudoun and therefore the potential for violence was a significant risk to county records. Unlike in other neighboring counties like Prince William, which would lose many records to the fire of war, Rogers ordered county clerk George K. Fox, Jr. to remove the records to a place of safety. They were then placed in a large wagon and removed to Campbell County, about 175 miles south along present day Route 29 just SW of Appomattox. During the war Fox moved about to preserve the record's safety until 1865 when he brought them back to Loudoun intact (Williams, 1938, p. 200). Clearly, Fox is also owed a great debt by all historians. I 1.2 Introduction to the Series This book is Volume One of a series called the Conklin Village Project, a history developed by Larry Roeder at the request of the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin Village, Loudoun County, and in cooperation with the Black History Committee of the Balch Library, Leesburg, Virginia. The history is intended to honor the pioneers of the Conklin area of Loudoun County, their descendants and the many generations of members of Prosperity, especially African-Americans. Some comparative analysis is also needed to examine African-American and White life in Loudoun, especially before the advent of desegregation. I definitely will summarize some similarities and differences; however, an in-depth discussion of that topic, especially the economic aspects, is outside the scope of the paper. The set is available in pdf format on http://conklinproject.wordpress.com/ and in the fall of 2014 will also be available in printed format on Amazon.com. The volumes also represent a collaborative effort involving interviews of people born in Conklin, historians, geographers, archivists, etc. In other words, they are not the effort of one person; but a team. With that in mind, corrections and suggestions are invited 5 Vol 1: Conklin Village Project By Larry Roeder http://conklinproject.wordpress.com/

Volume 3 of A History of Conklin Village A History of Conklin Village, Loudoun County Volume Three Christine Allen At Armstrong Technical High School BY LARRY ROEDER, MS Comments and corrections are welcome. Email Larry Roeder at admin@artbyroeder.com Note: very likely more information will emerge over time, even after the volume is printed. Our intent is to add the additional information to the on-line version. This study is copyrighted by Larry Roeder, MS, June 1, 2014. On-line versions of each volume are available in PDF format at the Conklin Village Project, http://conklinproject.wordpress.com/ Printed copies will be sold on amazon.com. Edit Date Monday, May 26, 2014 1 Volume 3 of A History of Conklin Village About Volume 3: Christine Allen is discussed at length in A History of Conklin Village, Loudoun County, Volume One: A Basic History. An important member of the Allen family, Christine was both a school teacher at various colored schools and a student at Armstrong Technical High School in Washington, DC, as well as a secretary of the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin. We hope to more fully explore Christine's experiences at Armstrong and in Conklin in later editions. For now, this volume (edition one) contains a copy of her lesson book from Armstrong from 1927 in Part One and a book of signatures from 1927-1929 in Part Two. Hopefully, descendants of some of her classmates at Armstrong will also help us flesh out a clearer understanding of her experiences. The original records are in the Archives of the Prosperity Baptist Church. Researchers wishing to see them are invited to write to the Archives at 42962 Braddock Rd Chantilly, VA 20152. For questions on this Volume, please write to admin@artbyroeder.com About Language: Racial terminology is a very sensitive topic. When I worked with native-Americans, I came to realize that some tribal members called themselves: Indians, Native-Americans or by their tribe, e.g. Navajo. When talking to Bedouins in Egypt, they preferred Bedouin or al-'Arab, not Egyptian. When racial terms like African-American, Black, Negro, Colored, Mulatto, etc are used in the volumes in this series, they should be seen in the context of the source document or interviewee. After a discussion with Pastor Lawson of Prosperity Baptist Church, it was agreed that I would use the term African- American when speaking in my voice of people descendant from African slaves; however, census and county records would in the past often refer to people as colored, Negro or mulatto. Contemporary interviewees might say Black or colored. In those instances, I use the term proposed by the source. No term is universally used by the 2 Volume 3 of A History of Conklin Village world, and some will be offended by one or another term. It is our hope that the readers will understand that we are trying to honor people and never offend. We welcome other suggestions.

Lloyd Information Center for Genealogy and Local History (RELIC). 4 A History of Conklin Village, Loudoun, Virginia. 12/26/2014 Special thanks must be given to Justice Asa Rogers, in 1861 the Presiding Judge of the Loudoun Circuit Court. With the Civil War about to go into full swing, it was clear to Rogers and others that Federal troops would march through Loudoun and therefore the potential for violence was a significant risk to county records. Unlike in other neighboring counties like Prince William, which would lose many records to the fire of war, Rogers ordered county clerk George K. Fox, Jr. to remove the records to a place of safety. They were then placed in a large wagon and removed to Campbell County, about 175 miles south along present day Route 29 just SW of Appomattox. During the war Fox moved about to preserve the record's safety until 1865 when he brought them back to Loudoun intact (Williams, 1938, p. 200). Clearly, Fox is also owed a great debt by all historians. I 1.2 Introduction to the Series The Conklin Village Project is a history developed by Larry Roeder at the request of the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin Village, Loudoun County, and in cooperation with the Black History Committee (BHC) of the Balch Library, Leesburg, Virginia. The history is intended to honor the pioneers of Conklin, their descendants and the many generations of members of Prosperity. Some comparative analysis also examines African-American vs White life in Loudoun before the advent of desegregation. I definitely will summarize some similarities and differences; however, an in-depth discussion of that topic, especially the economic aspects, is outside the scope of the paper. Although the focus is on the African-American experience, the villages of Loudoun were often biracial, even though some like Purcellville had an actual "color line." So to present a fuller image of Conklin life, I've included analysis of both the Conklin Colored School and McGraw's Ridge school for whites since both serviced the same village. The volumes also represent a collaborative effort involving interviews of people born in Conklin, historians, geographers, archivists, etc. In other words, this is not simply my effort. It is the result of a team. With that in mind, corrections and suggestions are invited for the second edition. Send them to the Conklin Historical Project, c/o 26128 Talamore Drive, South Riding, Va., 20152. 5

The text appears to be a template for collecting data on school teachers and students, likely for academic research or educational purposes. The template includes columns for various details such as academic year, date of report, grade, teacher and student names, as well as information on attendance and subjects studied. This suggests that the data was being collected systematically over time, possibly for tracking student progress and teacher performance. The presence of specific columns for each piece of information indicates a structured and organized approach to data collection. The template also includes a legend explaining the various abbreviations and terminology used, indicating that the document was intended for multiple users who would need guidance on interpreting the data. The document's reference to "projects" and a contact person for questions suggests that it was part of a larger research or data collection initiative within a specific educational institution or community.

This collection of photographs, taken in 1937 at the Hamilton School in Loudoun County, Virginia, provides a glimpse into the segregated education system of the time. The images depict African American students and teachers dressed in crepe paper dresses for a May Day celebration at Emancipation Grounds. The faces of the students, such as Annie Parker, Emma Lucas, and James Owens, capture a moment of pride and unity within their community. The documentation of this event sheds light on the resilience and creativity of Black educators and students during a period of racial segregation in American history. The photographs, cataloged in the Russell Gregg Photograph Collection at the Thomas Balch Library, serve as a valuable resource for understanding the struggles and triumphs of African American education in the 1930s.

This text appears to be a historical record of schools from the years 1880 to 1936, detailing the number of schools, total number of rooms, and schools with libraries during this time period. It shows an increase in the number of schools and rooms over the years, with a fluctuating presence of libraries in these schools. The data further specifies the number of volumes in these libraries and the average volume size per school. There is also mention of state library aid disbursements and budget estimates for the schools, providing insight into the financial support for education during this era. The information on schools with libraries indicates efforts to provide educational resources, although disparities between white and colored schools are evident in terms of funding and resources.

A History of Conklin Village: Christine Allen Volume 3 A History of Conklin Village, Loudoun County Volume Three Christine Allen At Armstrong Technical High School BY LARRY ROEDER, MS Comments and corrections are welcome. Email Larry Roeder at admin@artbyroeder.com Note: very likely more information will emerge over time, even after the volume is printed. Our intent is to add the additional information to the on-line version. This study is copyrighted by Larry Roeder, MS, 11/8/2014. On-line versions of each volume are available in PDF format at the Conklin Village Project, http://conklinproject.wordpress.com/ Printed copies will be sold on amazon.com. 1 A History of Conklin Village: Christine Allen Volume 3 About Volume 3: Christine Allen is discussed at length in A History of Conklin Village, Loudoun County, Volume One: A Basic History. An important member of the Allen family, Christine was both a school teacher at various colored schools and a student at Armstrong Technical High School in Washington, DC, as well as a secretary of the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin. We hope to more fully explore Christine's experiences at Armstrong and in Conklin in later editions. For now, this volume (edition one) contains a copy of her lesson book from Armstrong from 1927 in Part One and a book of signatures from 1927-1929 in Part Two. Hopefully, descendants of some of her classmates at Armstrong will also help us flesh out a clearer understanding of her experiences. The original records are in the Archives of the Prosperity Baptist Church. Researchers wishing to see them are invited to write to the Archives at 42962 Braddock Rd Chantilly, VA 20152. For questions on this Volume, please write to admin@artbyroeder.com About Language: Racial terminology is a very sensitive topic. When I worked with native-Americans, I came to realize that some tribal members called themselves: Indians, Native-Americans or by their tribe, e.g. Navajo. When talking to Bedouins in Egypt, they preferred Bedouin or al-'Arab, not Egyptian. When racial terms like African-American, Black, Negro, Colored, Mulatto, etc are used in the volumes in this series, they should be seen in the context of the source document or interviewee. After a discussion with Pastor Lawson of Prosperity Baptist Church, it was agreed that I would use the term African- American when speaking in my voice of people descendant from African slaves; however, census and county records would in the past often refer to people as colored, Negro or mulatto. Contemporary interviewees might say Black or colored. In those instances, I use the term proposed by the source. No term is universally used by the 2 A History of Conklin Village: Christine Allen Volume 3 world, and some will be offended by one or another term. It is our hope that the readers will understand that we are trying to honor people and never offend. We welcome other suggestions.

On March 7, 1938, a group of concerned citizens and taxpayers from the Waterford community came together to protest the decision of the Loudoun County School Board to close Waterford High School the following year. They outlined several reasons for their opposition, including the community's long history of cooperation with the school board and the potential negative impact on property values and taxes. They also highlighted challenges such as increased travel distances for students, concerns about health hazards on the bus, and the deprivation of education for rural children. The group urged the County School Board to reconsider their decision and keep Waterford High School open, arguing that the consolidation of schools could have detrimental effects on the community. The list of signatories includes notable community members and parents, reflecting the widespread support for their cause within the Waterford community.

In 1924, the County School Board of Loudoun County received a petition requesting the removal of Miss Baber as a teacher at Waterford School. After investigating and speaking with petitioners, the board found that the reasons given for the removal were not substantial or serious enough to warrant such action. The board noted that the concerns raised could be considered typical issues that arise in any teacher-student dynamic and did not justify dismissal. As a result, the board recommended at their upcoming meeting on December 9th that the request for Miss Baber's removal be denied. This incident sheds light on the dynamics between educators, students, and parents in early 20th-century Virginia, illustrating the challenges faced by teachers in maintaining discipline and educational standards.

2.5 (b) April, 1926: Petition to Loudoun's Board of Supervisors for a School Dentist Dental care for students was often controversial in Loudoun. As early as 1926, 785 petitioners, including Oscar Emerick, asked the Board of Supervisors to approve a Dental Clinic for the school system but the petition was defeated on April 30, 1926 by a vote of four to two, based on the stated objection of one Supervisor who apparently did not wish to raise a levy of one cent for $100 of property valuation. We don't have this petition in the archives; but it was reported in Loudoun Times Mirror and according to the petitioners, "it is very much to be regretted the Board gave the impression of antagonism and indifference. We certainly felt that we had been treated like a bunch of suspects - if not criminals - rather than as a group of decent citizens making a courteous petition for the supervisors to do something for a group of people who look to us for help - our little children (Mayers 1926)." It's worth noting that David Campbell Mayers, who wrote the article about this issue, was an important figure in Loudoun. He was the 17th Rector of the Emanuel Episcopal Church in Middleburg, and would become the longest serving in their history. In addition, from 1929 - 1940: Rector Mayers served as president of the local Parent Teacher Association and rallied influential newcomer parishioners such as General Billy Mitchell and his wife Elizabeth to help sustain the financially strapped public schools during the Great Depression (Emmanuel Episcopal Church 2011). In 1935 a dental clinic was also denied for lack of funds, though one appeared in 1938 that supported both white and black students. See Catalog 7.3 Nurses' Folder 1935-41. In 1955, the Black Teachers noticed that only white students were benefiting from dental appointments from then School Dentist; so they complained to Oscar Emerick who promised to remedy the situation, this fell under the purview of the Health Department.

In April 1926, a petition was presented to Loudoun's Board of Supervisors by 785 individuals, led by Oscar Emerick, requesting the approval of a Dental Clinic for the school system. Despite the widespread support for the clinic, the petition was ultimately defeated on April 30, 1926 by a vote of four to two. The refusal was reportedly based on the objection of one Supervisor who did not want to raise taxes for this purpose. The petitioners expressed disappointment at the Board's response, feeling that they were treated with antagonism and indifference. This incident sheds light on the early struggles to provide adequate dental care for students in Loudoun. Subsequent efforts were made to establish dental services, with a clinic finally appearing in 1938 that served both white and black students. These events demonstrate the ongoing challenges and inequities in providing essential services to all students, regardless of race or background.

In a letter dated April 16, 1924, it is revealed that a petition signed by numerous patrons of Philomont School requested the appointment of H.W. Van Sickler as principal and Martha O. Cockerill as primary teacher for the term 1924-1925. The letter, addressed to Mr. Van Sickler, indicates that the school board did not take action on the petition due to their rule of only appointing teachers who submit written applications. However, it is implied that if Mr. Van Sickler applies for the position before the meeting on May 13th and possesses the necessary teaching certificate, he will be appointed as principal. The letter emphasizes the importance of holding a teaching certificate and underscores the board's compliance with the law in this regard. The Division Superintendent expresses willingness to recommend Mr. Van Sickler for the position and assist in securing the required certificate, highlighting the intricacies of educational appointments in early 20th century Virginia.

RESOLUTION It is resolved by the undersigned to petition the School Board of Loudoun County Virginia to effect the closing of the school known as Mountain Gap School on Highway 15 five miles with of Leesburg and that the children now attending this school be required to attend the public schools of Leesburg. Furthermore, it is resolved that the School Board OF the County be required to furnish public transportation for these children to and from Leesburg end that a school bus be run over Route 651 from Vesoy Farm to ount Ciload. The following reasons are advanced for the closing of Mountain Gap School: T.The children who attend this school and who are leter sent to the fifth and other advanced grades in Leesburg, are found to be backward and insufficiently prepared. 2. There is no competitive spirit at this school due to the small enroll- ment and varied ages of the children. 3" the latter reason the teacher is unable to give the required attention. 3.

We will need to significantly refine the material for the final version of Dirt Don't Burn to make sure it tells an easy to understand, coherent story about the impact of segregated education on African- American. The EDWIN WASHINGTON PROJECT 1 Dirt Don't Burn (draft one) Introduction to the Edwin Washington Project The story of defeating Jim Crow in Loudoun County and bringing about racial integration is one of great bravery and tenacity by African-Americans and whites determined to craft a better society. That was especially true in the field of education. To tell that story, the Edwin Washington Project has assembled several products. 1. Dirt Don't Burn is an analytical report intended to explain what life was like in school for African Americans in Loudoun. The basis for the report are documents that were lost covering 1864 to 1968, then recovered by the Loudoun County Public Schools, as well other records owned by the Balch Library, the Loudoun County Circuit Court and other holdings mentioned in "Major Sources." LOUDDIN COUNTY, VIRGINIA 2. The Catalog identifies groups of documents that were lost covering 1846-1968, as well other documents in Sources, explaining their relevance to an understanding of segregated education. With the exception of material protected by State law and certain private papers we can't print, most of the documents will be scanned and then published on the internet. 3. Map (needs a name) is an on-line geospatial product that shows where the schools were, the routes to the schools and other information related to transportation, as well as the identification of African-American communities that existed in the study period. Links are provided to photographs and data on the website. 4. Database (this needs a name) is an online database that show who studied in which schools and who the instructors were. 5. Table of Schools: This is a report showing when segregated schools were opened or closed, with information on building material and historical references. The report is deeply footnoted as to the sources of information, official documents, news accounts, and other research. 6. Table of Libraries and Text Books: Many colored schools had "library collections," often just a bookshelf. This study identifies what we know of those collections. An appendix also show which textbooks were used in colored schools with an analysis of their quality and a comparison to those provided white schools. 7. Petitions and the Right to Seek Change: A study of the petitions we found, with images. 2 Dirt Don't Burn (draft one) Introduction to Dirt Don't Burn Dirt Don't Burn is an analytical examination of school life in Loudoun County between the Civil War and events related to the Brown VS.

"Until the World War Il era, most American children attended a country school. In fact, over 200,000 of these schools once dotted the landscape." (Townsend, More Than 200,000 Country Schools 2016) There were also many one-room schools in towns and cities such as the 1883 Union Street structure in Leesburg, Virginia that once housed an unaccredited two year secondary school program for African Americans known as the Loudoun County Training Center2. While the primary focus has been on the African-American experience, the story of education in Loudoun is really about both white and African-American students, teachers and families. The catalog will therefore be of value to both communities and will constantly be amended in future years as researchers use the various listed documents. Not incidental to the story is also the need to understand the travails of creating a viable public school system in rural America before the 1960's. We hope to illuminate some of the hurdles faced by school administrators, as well as fairly examine their managerial solutions. For that, we are indebted to the Country School Association of America, of which we are a member. Loudoun segregation is story of contradictions, of a Superintendent who joined the massive resistance movement against integration after Brown vs Board of Education in 1954, yet in 1930 had chastised the School Board for not provided an accredited high school for African-Americans. That was not achieved until 1941³. In the same essay, Emerick also observed "Virginia is a backward state in education Our difficulty is historical. Our ancestors who ruled in Virginia were aristocrats with few exceptions. They held to the doctrine that there must be poor and ignorant people to perform the menial tasks " With the exception of material from the Balch Library and the Library of Virginia woven into the catalog, virtually all of the cited sources are from the archives of the Loudoun County Public 1 As will be seen in many documents, this decision created a true political crisis in Virginia, with strong opposition by some, punishment of teachers who favored integration and sometimes extreme reactions. In 1954 the white high schools in Norfolk, Front Royal, Charlottesville, and Prince Edward County were shut in reaction to the federal policy of desegregation. Following federal court orders to desegregate, they all reopened "during 1958, except those in Prince Edward County which remained closed until the fall of 1964." There was also real fear that the same might happen in Loudoun County, but school leaders fought against closings. 2 A special section of the report discusses the concept of County Training Centers, which was a compromise between those who didn't want African-Americans to have proper secondary schools and those who believed in providing a full fouor-year education equivalent to white student. 3 See "Budget for 1930-31" in 8.1 Financial 1928-29 1938-39. On page six, Oscar Emerick pointed out amongst other complaints about needed construction for both white and "colored" schools, "We have long neglected provision for high school education of our colored children." 3
The text "Dirt Don't Burn" is part of the Edwin Washington Project, which aims to tell the story of racial integration in Loudoun County, particularly in relation to education. The document draws its narrative from a catalog of lost documents recovered by the Loudoun County Public Schools, the Balch Library, and other holdings. By analyzing these documents, the project seeks to shed light on the experience of African Americans in segregated schools between the Civil War and the 1960s. The text examines the challenges faced by both white and African American students, as well as the school administrators who had to navigate the complexities of creating a viable public school system in rural America. The project also addresses the contradictions within the segregated education system, including the actions of a superintendent who resisted integration in the 1950s but advocated for an accredited high school for African Americans in the 1930s. Through its analysis, "Dirt Don't Burn" aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of segregation on education in Loudoun County.

The letter dated February 20, 1940, sent from the Commonwealth of Virginia State Board of Education in Richmond to Mrs. Cinderella Painter in Lucketts, Virginia, indicates a concern about the closure of Taylorstown school and the safety of transporting students to another school on a road deemed unsafe for buses. The State Board of Education expressed that the matter is under the jurisdiction of local school authorities, and the letter was forwarded to the division superintendent for necessary action. The letter showcases the community's petition signed by various tax-payers and patrons of Taylorstown school, urging the State Board of Education not to discontinue the school due to road conditions. This correspondence sheds light on early 20th-century educational infrastructure challenges and the collaboration between state and local education authorities in addressing community concerns.

In 1949, Mrs. Metta Watts Smith (1928-1996) - wrote to O.L. Emerick, noting that she had purchased the abandoned school several years prior, but didn't have an access road. Indeed, others were apparently crossing her property without permission, which she felt prevented her from upgrading the structure. According to Emerick, he had no authority to help her. (location: Colored Petition Box, Item 2.5.a in the Edwin Washington Catalog. The exchange between Smith and Emerick revealed that the property was bordered by the Wilson Gap Road, which is an element of Round Hill. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Wilson Gap, originally known as Gregory's Gap, is a wind gap in the Blue Ridge Mountain, located on the border of Loudoun County, Virginia and Jefferson County, West Virginia. The Appalachian Trail crosses the gap. The 1,444 feet (440 m) gap once served as a thoroughfare between Round Hill, the former terminus of the Washington and Old Dominion Railroad in western Loudoun, and the resort communities of Shannondale and Mountain Mission in Jefferson County via the Wilson Gap Road. The resorts fell victim to the Great Depression and the upper reaches of Wilson Gap Road became impassable to vehicular traffic by the outbreak of World War II. Though no longer maintained as a public road, the old road bed can still be found by the discerning hiker. Major resource for citation above was Eugene Scheel.

The text, a survey of Loudoun County white schools in 1940, highlights the early consolidation efforts in the county that took place around 1911, closing schools like Salem, Edge Grove, and Cherry Grove. It mentions the challenges faced in pupil transportation, initially with horse-drawn wagons and later with motor vehicles. Superintendent W. G. Edmondson played a key role in advocating for high schools to be available to all students in Virginia, leading to the establishment of several high school buildings in Loudoun County through private contributions. The text discusses the debate around consolidating small schools into larger centers, citing concerns about costs and the impact on local communities. It also reflects on the evolution of teacher numbers and transportation expenses from 1928 to 1939, showing a shift towards larger schools and increased spending on transportation. The narrative raises questions about the focus of high schools on college preparation versus life skills, reflecting broader societal debates around education in the late 1930s.

St. Louis, a historic black village in Fauquier County, Virginia, can trace its origins back to the late 1800s when freed black individuals settled in the area. Named after the St. Louis New School Baptist Church, the community grew to over 100 residents by the early 20th century. Despite its size, St. Louis did not have a post office or official state road designation. Residents were predominantly involved in domestic work for white families, but as interest in horse racing and the Middleburg Training Track grew, more opportunities arose for employment. The community also established its own church, Mt. Zion Church, in the early 20th century, reflecting the self-sufficiency and resilience of the black population in the region. Through land sales, community leaders like Dan M. Robinson and the establishment of schools, St. Louis became a thriving and close-knit community in the horse and hunt country of America.

The petitioners, heads of families with children attending the school, expressed concerns about the teacher's inability to maintain discipline with over thirty pupils under her care. They argued that the teacher, while academically qualified, struggled to handle the large class size and that some students had outgrown the school but had no access to a nearby high school. Emerick responded, acknowledging the petition but defending the teacher's performance and suggesting that individual complaints should be directed to the school board. This exchange sheds light on the challenges faced by rural schools in providing adequate education and managing growing student populations in the early 20th century.

The text is a letter from the Parent-Teacher Association and Community League of Grant School in Middleburg, Virginia, dated February 6, 1946, addressed to Mr. O. L. Emerick, District Superintendent of Schools for Loudoun County. The letter expresses disappointment and shock at Mr. Emerick's decision regarding the selection of a school site. The association had previously agreed on a plot of land in Maxville, offered by Mr. William N. Hall, but Mr. Emerick's decision to choose a site in St. Louis instead was met with dissatisfaction. The letter outlines several disadvantages of selecting a site in St. Louis, including poor roads, swampy land, lack of amenities, leadership, and wealth, as well as the absence of a conducive environment for school activities. The letter suggests that the chosen site would not attract patronage and does not meet the standards for a suitable school location.

The operator of this bus has not driven with the care condusive to the safety of the children in his charge. His speed, while within the legal 35 miles limit, is entirely too fast considering the condition of the road, the number of passengers carried, and the age of many children. Swinging from one side of the road to the other at excessive speeds, apparently to avoid ruts, has slung children from their seats and across the aisle. Proper caution is not taken at turns and cross roads. Brakes have been applied so quickly at regular stops that children have been forced from their seats and the tires has skidded at least ten feet. The jar caused by the present driving over the rough road has resulted in some children complaining of stomach ache. driver We petition the School Board to replace the present, as soon as possible with a more mature man, one who can be depended upon to exercise the proper care in driving and maintain order in the bus.

In a document dated May 24, a resolution was passed at a meeting of the Parent-Teacher School League in Hamilton, Virginia, requesting a lady teacher from the school board and the consideration of building a school house on a suitable piece of land. The information is attributed to Howard W Clark, a 43-year-old African American laborer living in Jefferson, Loudoun, Virginia, in 1920 with his wife Eppie and their children Sara, Mildred, Charles, Lillian, Howard, and Susie. The details provided in the Edwin Washington Project from the 1920 US Census offer a glimpse into the household and living conditions of this family during this time period, illuminating the struggles and aspirations of an African American family in a rural Virginia community.

Dirt Don't Burn Draft Catalog Annotated CATALOG (draft - needs review) For Edwin Washington Project The main analytical study is Dirt Don't Burn. There will also be studies on: 1. Libraries 2. Transportation 3. Table of Schools 4. Dirt Don't Burn is an analytical report intended to explain what life was like in school for African Americans in Loudoun. The basis for the report are documents that were lost covering 1864 to 1968, then recovered by the Loudoun County Public Schools, as well other records owned by the Balch Library, the Loudoun County Circuit Court and other holdings mentioned in "Major Sources." 5. The Catalog identifies groups of documents that were lost covering 1846-1968, as well other documents in Sources, explaining their relevance to an understanding of segregated education. With the exception of material protected by State law and certain private papers we can't print, most of the documents will be scanned and then published on the internet. 6. Map (needs a name) is an on-line geospatial product that shows where the schools were, the routes to the schools and other information related to transportation, as well as the identification of African-American communities that existed in the study period. Links are provided to photographs and data on the website. 7. Database (this needs a name) is an online database that show who studied in which schools and who the instructors were. 8. Table of Schools: This is a report showing when segregated schools were opened or closed, with information on building material and historical references. The report is deeply footnoted as to the sources of information, official documents, news accounts, and other research. 9. Table of Libraries and Text Books: Many colored schools had "library collections," often just a bookshelf. This study identifies what we know of those collections. An appendix also show which textbooks were used in colored schools with an analysis of their quality and a comparison to those provided white schools. 10. Petitions and the Right to Seek Change: A study of the petitions we found, with images. 11. And perhaps other studies, all of which will have cross references to material in this catalog. The catalog is arranged topically by a specific scheme designed in consultation with experts from the Catholic University of American, School of Library/Information Science, and other experts. Many documents are referenced cover more than one topic and so 1 Dirt Don't Burn Draft Catalog are appropriately cross referenced to each, though they are physically filed in only one folder, to which they are cited, i.e. 2.3 for School Trustee Electoral Board. In addition, as material has been placed in archival boxes, we have maintained a list of their physical location called File List, which is in the catalog. In other words, all papers on the School Trustee Electoral Board are in Box 2.3 but the catalog provides useful topics cross references when specific papers in 2.3 deal with important topics like consolidation (2.7), teacher contracts (4.3), etc. Copyright: April 2017 The EDWIN WASHINGTON PROJECT 2 Dirt Don't Burn Draft Catalog The Volunteers: (this needs to be polished in the final version) Larry, Tony and Julie form the Executive Committee. 1.

I was then on the faculty/staff of the Department of Library/Information Science (LIS) at the Catholic University of America, where in the capacity as Data Manager, it was my job to collect information documenting why the department should retain its accreditation¹. Taking into account segregation and other special political and civil-rights aspects on the project, I based the category scheme on my accreditation studies and consultations with others at LIS as well as my studies to obtain my Masters. 1.

Dedicated Files to Specific Schools 14. Town and County Histories 15. Clubs, Fairs, Contests, Baseball and Music 16. Photographic Collections 17. News Clippings 18. Appendix to Archives of Circuit Court of Loudoun County2 An additional critical part of the project has been preservation and conservation of many very rare fragile papers. For that, I drew on my Master's Degree training at Catholic and work I did as Chief Librarian at Blair House, guest house of the President. Also, while serving as the Policy Adviser on Disaster Management at the US Department of State (IO/SHA), I spent a great deal of time consulting with foreign governments on crafting policies to preserve or conserve cultural resources. Larry Roeder, MS Principal Investigator 1 Roeder acquired his MLS at CUA, was Chief Librarian at Blair House while in graduate school and worked as Data Manager on the faculty of the Department of Library Science from 2014-2016 Editorial note. Some cross referencing has been done between 18 and the other chapters. 4

white Greetings To the Honorable School Board and Superintendent of Schools. Gentlemen: We, the undersigned Patrons of the Carter's School and Members of the Carter's Community League, respectfully petition and request that you reappoint Mrs. Mary E. Hemsley as Teacher of our school for the next school term. As is well known we have very bad roads and none of our children live close to the. school house. Most of the children have a mile or more to come and yet our little backwoods school won the attendance banner this session! The excellent work and progress of the pupils is most gratifying. We feel that the instruction and training they have received from Mrs. Hemsley has been equally as good as they could have obtained had they been in the best school in the county. Both the Junior League and the Community League have been very active and great interest has been manifested by the Patrons and all Members of the Community. All this is due, primarily, to Mrs. Hemsleys leadership and time most excellent efforts. 10 We believe that the work Mrs. Hemsley is doing to stimulate encreased interest in school activities will benefit not only the present pupils but will also be helpful in maintaining a school in this community for the younger children not yet of school age.

Not to have a teacher for this school would be a great injustice and injury to the deserving children of this isolated community. No other schools are near and the almost impassable mud roads of winter would make it impossible for most, if not all, of our children to attend school else where. Therefore, we, the following tax payers and Patrons of Carters School 1 (with the number of children as indicated) most vigorously and strongly protest that failure to appoint a teacher for our school would be an unnecessary dis- crimination and injustice to us and our children. We respectfully petition and request that you appoint as teacher of the Carters School, Mrs. Mary E. Hemsley, a teacher of high standing and ability. With Mrs. Hemsleys force of character, energy and enthusiasm directing our school the daily attendence will be much better than heretofore and pupils and patrons will have a renewed and greater appreciation for educational training.

In 1922, the Brownsville Petitions shed light on the debate surrounding the relocation of schooling from Brownsville to the Odd-Fellows Hall in Hamilton. Two petitions emerged, with one dated December 22, 1922 from parents advocating for schooling to remain at Brownsville and another on December 6, 1922 calling for a school at the Odd-Fellows Hall in Hamilton. Signatories such as Walter Mussay, John A. Coff, and Russell Noble from the December 22 petition expressed their preference for continuing schooling at Brownsville. On the other hand, individuals like Margaret Smith, R. Offfriend, and Lilly Ecasar from the December 6 petition supported having a school at the Odd-Fellows Hall in Hamilton instead. These petitions provide insight into the local community's perspective on education and decision-making in early 20th century Brownsville.

This letter, dated January 28, 1956, from the Clerk of the School Board in Ashburn, Virginia to Mr. Jake White, highlights the urgent need for coal at the Ashburn colored school, with only enough coal left to last three weeks. The letter suggests contacting Gordon Reed on Hillsboro switchboard to address this issue and check on other needs. The document sheds light on the challenges faced by segregated schools in rural areas during the mid-20th century, as they struggled to provide basic resources like heating fuel. The mention of coal as the primary source of heating also reflects the reliance on traditional methods for heating buildings at that time. The letter serves as a valuable historical artifact, illustrating the inequalities and difficulties experienced by African American schools in the era of segregation.

A meeting of the patrons of the Waterford High School & other interested citizens of the community was held on the night of March 1, 1937 for the purpose of making a concerted effort to have reversed the recent decision of the State Board of Education, depriving the Waterford community of an accredited or certificated High School. It was the unanimous opinion of those present that the decision of the Board of Education was more far reaching in its effect than any decision they had ever rendered affecting the School System of Loudoun County, more particularly in the case of the Waterford High School. We realize it is not alone the effect it might have upon those boys and girls desiring an education, who happen to be so un- fortunately situated that they would be absolutely deprived of the benefits of a high school education, even though the local school board might put into effect the best means available to transport pupils to an accredited high school. The effect upon the community itself is so far reaching that only those in direct contact with local conditions can properly estimate the devastating effect that will surely be accomplished. Since it is clear to every patron of this school that it probably is not within the jurisdiction of the local school board to have by its own initiative this decision or ruling of the state board of Education or its Superintendent, reversed. It is then the duty of every sinsible fair minded man, woman or child interested, to prepare to gird for battle and to use every means at their command, political or otherwise, to accomplish this great purpose. Now be it Resolved: That the Patrons of the Waterford High School and interested members of the community whose names are signed below, do unanimously request the School Board of Loudoun County to use every effort at their command to have this school accredited or certificated, and that their records show their approval or disapproval of this re- March 9, 1937. quest, and same recorded in the minutes of their meeting held this day, Be it further Resolved: That the Superintendent Mr. O.L. Emerick, endorse or approve these resolutions and that said approval or endorse- ment be also recorded in the minutes of this same meeting. Signed: See attached sheets. (2) Q P.

In March 1937, a meeting was convened by the patrons of Waterford High School and other concerned citizens to address the recent decision by the State Board of Education to revoke the school's accreditation. The unanimous sentiment among attendees was that this decision would have a significant impact on the local community, particularly in terms of depriving students of a high school education. Recognizing the limitations of the local school board in reversing this ruling, the community resolved to mobilize politically to have the accreditation reinstated. A list of signatories, including prominent community members and parents, was attached to the resolution, which called on the School Board of Loudoun County to advocate for the school's accreditation.

At a regular meeting of the Middleburg Lions Club held at the Colonial Inn, Middleburg, Virginia, at 6:45 P.M. on January 9, 1950, the following resolution was introduced by Lion J. D. Simpson, was seconded by Lion L. G. Collier, and after extensive discussion was unanimously adopted: "WHEREAS the best information presently available indicates that one central high school for Loudoun County would cost approximately $900,000.00, and, WAEREAS two high schools in the alternative would cost an estimated $1,250,000.00, it becomes readily apparent that certain facilities and features would of necessity be sacrificed since the two schools would obviously not be identical as to construction and facilities, and, VAEREAS certain progressive counties of the Commonwealth of Virginia have already adopted a one central high school policy, and, WHEREAS the children of Loudoun are struggling under an out-moded and deficient system and are handicapped accordingly when they ultimately compete with students from their neighboring counties upon entering college, and, WHEREAS time is of the essence of the problem and inmediate action is imperative, NOW THEREFORE be it resolved that the Middleburg Lions Club go on record as recommending that the School Board of Loudoun County and the Board of Supervisors take immediate action as necessary to acquire a suitable school site in Loudoun County conveniently located as regards proximity for the various children, and without regard to the availability of sewage and water facilities, and construct thereon as soon as practical one modern central high school." The above resolution is a true and correct copy. Secretary, Middleburg Lions Club At 8. regular meeting of the Middleburg Parent Teachers Association held in the Middleburg Public School, Middleburg, Virginia, at 8:00 P.M. on January 5, 1950, the following resolution was introduced by Mr. Wharton E.

Luck, Jr, and after extensive discussion was unanimously adopted: PHILEREAS the best information presently available indicates that one central high school for Loudoun County would cost approximately $900,000.00, and, WHEREAS two high schools in the alternative would cost an estimated $1,250,000.00, it becomes readily apparent that certain facilities and features would of necessity be sacrificed since the two schools would obviously not be identical as to construction and facilities, and, WHEREAS certain progressive counties of the Commonwealth of Virginia havo already adopted a one central high school policy, and WHEREAS the children of Loudoun are struggling under an out-moded and deficient system and are handicapped accordingly when they ultimately compete with the children from their neighboring counties upon entering college and, WHEREAS time is of the essence of the problem and immediate action is imperative, NOW THEREFORE be it resolved that the Middleburg Parent Teachers Association go on record as demanding that the School Board of Loudoun County and the Board of Supervisors take immediate action as necessary to acquire a suitable school site in Loudoun County conveniently located as regards proximity for the various children, and without regard to the availability of sewage and water facilities, and construct thereon as soon on practical ano modern central high school." The above resolution is a true and correct copy. Mavine m Ballenger Secretary, Middleburg Parent Teachers Association
In January of 1950, the Middleburg Lions Club and the Middleburg Parent Teachers Association in Middleburg, Virginia, both passed resolutions advocating for the construction of a centralized high school in Loudoun County. The resolutions highlighted the financial savings of a single high school compared to two separate schools, as well as the educational benefits of a modern facility for the children of Loudoun. The organizations emphasized the urgency of the situation, pointing out that the current school system in the county was outdated and hindering the students' ability to compete with peers from neighboring counties. They called for immediate action from the School Board of Loudoun County and the Board of Supervisors to acquire a suitable school site and start construction on a central high school. This historical document underscores the community's commitment to improving education for the youth of Loudoun County in the mid-20th century.

Gentlemen:- We the undersigned wish to register a protest in making any change in the present arrangement of caring for the children in and around Waterford of high school age. The arrangement suggested at the last me eting of your Board of sending our children to Lovettsville, Va. is unsatisfa ctory to us and we wish to continue sending our Child ren to Leesburg, Va. in the manner in which they are now being sent. We have no fault to find with the Lovettsville School but feel that the Leesburg school is better equipped and is the logical place to send them from all viewpoints.

In a series of letters dating back to January 1941, officials from the Commonwealth of Virginia, State Board of Education, and local school authorities discussed a complaint from C. T. Dean of Clifton, Virginia regarding the lack of school buildings or transportation facilities for children in his community. The State Board of Education responded to Mr. Dean's letter by explaining that such matters fall under the jurisdiction of local school authorities and recommended that he address his concerns to the Division Superintendent of Schools or county school board. In a subsequent letter, Division Superintendent O. L. Emerick detailed the actions taken by the county school board in response to Mr. Dean's complaint, including the provision of transportation aid for parents with school children living three or more miles from school, regardless of race.

This text, dated between 1917-1930, is a letter expressing concerns about the potential closure of the Payson School in Pincellville, Virginia. The writer, presumably a parent or guardian, highlights the challenges of sending their child on a lengthy bus journey to a different school in the coming fall. They argue that it is too dangerous and arduous for small children to travel in such a manner, especially considering the lack of shelter and potential for missed buses. The letter reflects the importance placed on education at the time, with the writer advocating for the continuation of the Payson School to ensure local children have access to schooling without the difficulties of long bus commutes. It provides insight into the educational environment and transportation challenges faced by families in rural Virginia during this period.

On June 18, 1947, a petition was sent to Mr. O.L. Emerick, the Division Superintendent of the Loudoun County school board in Leesburg, Virginia, requesting the appointment of Mr. C.L. Murray as the teacher for Nokes school in Sterling. The petition, signed by several parents including Matilda Harris and Earl Glenn, praised Murray as an industrious and morally upright individual who was well-liked by both students and parents.

The property, now owned by Loudoun County, was previously owned in 2011 by Mrs. Laverne R. Grant and CT Perkins, el Al, who then lived at 65 Adams St., NW, Washington, DC 20001-1026. The County research did not go further back into time. Source: (ECS Mid- Atlantic, LLC, 2011, July 29, p. 56) In the spring of 2013 I began an informal study of properties along Route 50 and Braddock road in Loudoun County, a continuation of an interest in disappearing NKL IN structures I developed during my run for County Supervisor in 2009- 2010. By way of background, I have been examining old homes and office buildings since the 1970's as part of family research and local history research in the Middle East. Figure 1 Stone from Conklin Cemetery One of the reasons for examining the portion of Braddock Road along the south face of South Riding where the property lies was that this area is also Conklin, an unincorporated village that has largely been forgotten by its contemporary residents, especially in South Riding, a major homes owners association running along the north side of the road I've been interested in the experiences of African-American families that migrated to this region of Loudoun County just prior to and after the Civil 4 History of Conklin Village War. Nearly all of the area was agricultural and with advent of emancipation became a mix of white and African-American farms. Little of that heritage remains, with the exception the land south of Braddock, which is still largely rural and Prosperity Baptist Church on the north side which was started on the south side in 1899 by former slave Jennie Dean. There are also various historical cemeteries along Braddock. One is the Conklin Cemetery just to the west of South Riding on the north side of Braddock. Another is the Hampton Brewer Cemetery, which is on private land at the south fence of the J. Michael Lunsford Middle School, the contemporary school to the immediate west of the Cardinal Ridge property. Hampton Brewer was a farmer from Prince William County who is thought to have a brought a group of former slaves over from Fairfax County, some of whom are likely buried at his cemetery and the descendants of Figure 2 Conklin School, 1940, photo courtesy of LCPS. whom helped begin and nurture the Prosperity Baptist Church (Roeder, Hampton Brewer and His Freed African Americans, 2013)¹. Along Ticonderoga Road on the west side of Lunsford was also the Conklin Colored School, built on land obtained in 1873 by the local Broad Run District school board from Horace Adee and continued until about 1942, though the structure stood until around 1976, was turned into a residence and then burned down. 1 Though the current building is newer than the original structure, the community was begun by former slave Jennie Dean, who raised money for the project. 5 History of Conklin Village A description of the school and the experience of "colored" students is covered in in A History of Conklin Village, Loudoun County, Volume One: A Basic History (Roeder, A History of Conklin Village, Loudoun County, Volume One: A Basic History, 2014). Too often structures of local importance have disappeared without sufficient public debate, in some cases because they don't qualify for National or State protection or because they were not in a local historic district. Perhaps no one of importance lived or worked in the structure or it was associated with an historically important event. Conklin was the oldest school in Eastern Loudoun at one time (Scheel, 1976) and should have qualified for protection. We need in Loudoun County to have a sensible public debate over this issue. Preserving heritage is important. I had noticed since moving to Loudoun that other structures of "modest importance" and some of real importance had also disappeared, so in June, 2013 a local resident of the old Conklin community asked if I'd be interested in visiting an abandoned farm across from the Prosperity Baptist Church. The trip sounded interesting and there were no signs preventing entry, so we went. The farm to which Ronnie Arnold took me was on the "Grant Perkins Property," designated to be the location for Cardinal Ridge Elementary School and described in two LCPS surveys in 2011 as site 44IDI6oo. See also a report by the school system on responses to referral comments (LCPS, 2013, Jan 10). Because I was informed that the land was going to be razed in about two weeks, my research was an informal photographic survey during which I tried to identify buildings, any water wells, structures of historical importance or graves. Overgrowth prevented entry in some and structural integrity of others was very weak. Names given to structures in my study are notional for ease of research. With the exception of a two story log house, we don't know for certain how they were used when constructed. By 2013, the barn and sheds had little in them, debris, old beds, chairs, boxes, moldy books, stacks of wooden planks, etc. 6
The text discusses the history of Conklin Village in Loudoun County, specifically focusing on the Cardinal Ridge, the Old Allen Farm. Written by Larry Roeder in 2014, the volume provides a detailed account of the area, including structures such as the North Fence, Main Barn, and Wood Shed. Roeder also mentions the historical significance of the African-American families that migrated to Loudoun County before and after the Civil War, highlighting areas such as the Conklin Cemetery and the Prosperity Baptist Church. The study delves into the importance of preserving local heritage, particularly in areas like Conklin that have largely been forgotten. Roeder's research includes an informal survey of the Grant Perkins Property, which was designated for the Cardinal Ridge Elementary School, showcasing the need for better historic preservation and recognition of structures of modest importance.

In this correspondence dated March 10, 1945, between James H. Raby, a lawyer from Alexandria, Virginia, and O. L. Emerick, the Division Superintendent of the County School Board in Loudoun County, Virginia, Raby addresses the issue of the use of a Baptist Church basement in Middlesburg as a school room. Raby questions the school board's decision to deny the request of the PTA to discontinue the use of the basement and inquires about their plans for a new school building for colored children in the area. Emerick responds on March 14, 1945, emphasizing the need for additional space in various schools in the county and expressing intentions to address the issue as soon as feasible. Their exchange sheds light on educational segregation and the challenges faced by communities in acquiring adequate facilities for students during this period.

U RESOLUTION It is resolved by the undersigned to petition the School Board of Loudoun County, Virginia to effect the closing of the school known as Mountain Gap School on Highway 15, five miles south of Leesburg and that the children now attending this school be required to attend the public schools of Leesburg. Furthermore, It is resolved that the School Board or the County be required to furnish public transportation for these children too and from Leesburg and that a school bus be run over Route 651 from Vesey Farm to Mount Gélead. The following reasons are advanced for the closing of Mountain Gap School: 1. The children who attend this school and who are later sent to the fifth, and other advanced grades in Leesburg, are found to be backward and insufficiently prepared. 2. There is no competitive spirit at this school due to the small enroll- ment and varied ages of the children. For the latter reason the teacher is unable to give the required attention. 3. Drinking water and water for washing must be carried in from the nearest private dwelling. 4. Primative sanitary arrangements permit of only an outside toilet. 5. There is an inadequate playground and no recreational equipment. There is no supervision and as a result children may wander on to the highway and be killed of badly injured. 6. First grade children are dismissed at noon which requires the parent to make an extra trip to the school at noon and then return in the afternoon to pick up others. 7. The teacher does not have the time to give any special attention to any one individual child. 8. Obviously, the segregation of students by age group has great advantages over the combination of four grades in one room. Such an arrangement as the latter is inconceivable.

Hillsboro, Virginia, June 16th, 1932. To The School Board For Loudoun County; It has come to our attention that your Board is contemplating combining the two routes that in the past have hauled children to the School at Hillsboro. To our minds this will not be a satisfactory arrangement for some several reasons, the larger reason being that, forty or more children should not have to occupy the same truck or bus. This will necessairly place the children in constant danger. Your Board have in mind no doubt the savings effected in the cost of transportation, we have in mind the safety and morals of the children, and we further have in mind the fact that your Board will use the money necessary to run the two trucks elsewhere as your budget has allowed for such a cost. Should you do this it would be discriminating against the patrons and children of our school. As tax payers and patrons of the Hillsboro School we do hereby respectfully request that you re-consider and place two busses or trucks to corvey the children to the Millsboro School. This has proven very satisfactory in the past and the children have been well looked after by the drivers of the two busses. nathan n. neer Edwin P.neer Mrs alphears Payes Mrs Luck Payrle a Luck Payni R.

To The County School Board of Loudoun: We, , the undersigned parents, promise to send to the Coleman's school if operated in 1923-24 the children whose names and ages we give and to send them as regul orly as we can, and we do hereby request the County School Board to open and run the said school in 1923-24.

EMERICK, Clerk COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD OF LOUDOUN COUNTY PURCELLVILLE, VA. April 25, 1923. Mr. W. W. Pugh, Sterling, Va. My dear Mr. Pugh: I regret that I c ould not reply to your letter by Tuesday night of this week but I have been out of the office since Saturday on other work. The deci sion to close Coleman's school this year was made because up to the time of that meeting the attendance of the school had been less than ten and the school board had no legal right to run a school with so small a number. If there is prospect of a better attendance next year it would be well, perhaps, to have a petition about as the one inclosed signed by patrons and sent to me to be presented to the board or sent to Mr. Norman to present. I asked the board to provide funds for Coleman's school for next year SO that it could be run if there were enough children. The board pro- vided the funds in its budget. I desire very much that every child have a good chance to get aneducation and I have been fighting and hphill fight to endeavor to see to it that the children of the one-room schools have Ei more nearly equal chance with the children attending larger school by advocating for one-room schools longer terms or the same term for all, supervi si on or some one to serv about as a principal of a larger school serves so as to be able to help the one-room teachers and through them the children, and for an equality of salary, so far as the size of kind of school is con- cerned. It sometimes seems to me that I am fighting alone. We have a number of schools about like Coleman's in size. They are a big problem. A teacher can handle well thirty children daily but when we operate schools for tan ch il - dren daily this makes the cost for each child about three times as great. I wish to assure you that I shall be very much pleased if there can be found enough children to justify running your school. very sin cerely your oh Emerich
In this letter addressed to the County School Board of Loudoun in 1923, parents express their commitment to send their children to Coleman's school for the upcoming academic year if it is operated. The parents provide the names and ages of the children, emphasizing their desire for the school to be opened and run by the County School Board. The decision to close Coleman's school in the current year was explained due to low attendance, prompting the school board to seek petitions from parents for potential future operations. The Superintendent acknowledges the challenges faced by one-room schools and advocates for equal opportunities in education, highlighting the importance of providing a quality education to all children. The letter reflects the efforts made by parents and education officials to ensure educational access and equality for students in Loudoun County during the early 20th century.

My dear Mr. Connor: Your letter of June 22 1927 requesting a copy of the petition filed in this office in relation to the candidacy of Mr. W. S. Tyler, Jr., for th position as principal at Allie for the session 1927-28 has been received. On account of my absence last week'attending a 00 ference I am sorry to be delayed in replying thereto. Mr. Tyler requested to be permitted to examine this petition and I stated to him that I felt I should consult the board before permitting him to see it but as you state I did read the heading to him. It was my full intention to bring his request before our school board at its last meeting and * I had a memorandum on my desk to prompt me in the matter but in the confusion caused by the appearance of the delegationsx this was overlooked. I shall be. glad to bring this request before the County School Board on July 12, the date of the next regular meeting. I am not able to conour in your view that this petition should be open to the inspection of any citizen or tax-payer because a public document. Many public documents are confi- dential documents in the files of Federal, State and loc 1 governmental offices and there are now on file in this office several thousand confidential communications which I should consider/ it quite improper and unethical to submit to general inspection or to the inspection of the persons most effected, the candidates for positions. This petition is addressed to the school board. I do not wish to be placed on record as refusing to permit inspection of this petition by Mr. Tyler but my position is that the School Board should have a right to pass upon the request. Very sincerely yours, Division SuperIntendent. OLE_RME CECIL CONNOR June 22nd., 1927. ATTORNEY AT LAW LEESBURG, VIRGINIA O. L. Emerick, Sup't, Purcellville, Virginia. My dear Superintendent: Mr. Wm. E. Tyler, Jr., Principal of the Aldie High School for session 26-27, has consulted me as to his right to an inspection of the the Petition, filed either with you as Sup't or the County Board, in opposition to his appoint- ment to succeed himself for the ensuing term, and has told me that he had requested you to allow him to read the Petition or to furnish him with a copy of the same and further advises me that you declined to either allow him to read the Petition in toto or to furnish him with an exact copy, but that you did read to him the heading ; but refused to let him see the names of the patrons, purporting to have signed the Petition. I have been frank to advise Mr. Tyler that this Petition is a public docu- ment and from its very nature must be and that I am at loss to understand upon what ground that you could consistently refuse to allow him to see the Petition or furnish him with a copy of the same; especially, in view of the fact that he is a. party directed affected thereby. I am decidedly of the opinion that communications of this character are public documents and that not only any citizen directly affected or interested but any cit- izen and tax-payer has a right to an inspection of such documents. Mr. Tyler has not abandonded the teaching profession; but on the contray, expects to continue therein and, if there is anything on record with the County Board, touching his qualifications, merits or demerits, or record as a teacher in Loudoun County, he wishes to advise as to the nature thereof with a view to so directing his course in the future as to avoid the errors that he may have committed in his past experience. For this reason and others he feels that he is entitled to have a copy of said Petition and to know the individuals or patros who have criticized his record. I would thank you to forward me NX a copy of said Petition in toto and, if there is any expense or fee attached to the same, I shall be pleased to remit to cover the same upon receipt of said copy and statement of the fee. Very respectfully, Cicil bonns
In June 1927, a petition was filed by patrons of Aldie High School in Loudoun County, Virginia, requesting a new principal for the upcoming academic year due to Mr. W. S. Tyler's alleged negligence and inefficiency in his role. The petition, signed by 24 families including prominent local figures, expressed concerns about Tyler's lack of cooperation with other teachers and called for a change in leadership. The superintendent of the school district, O. L. Emerick, received a letter from an attorney, Cecil Connor, on behalf of Mr. Tyler requesting access to the petition, which Emerick declined on the grounds that it was a confidential document for the school board's consideration. The controversy highlighted tensions within the school community regarding leadership and accountability, ultimately leading to a scheduled discussion at the upcoming school board meeting to address the matter.

EWP 2-5-B Yr 1928 Lenah Protests Closing
The resolution passed by the Lenah Community League on February 20th, 1928, regarding the closure of Lenah School by the School Board reflects the community's strong opposition to this decision. The resolution, supported by numerous taxpayers and patrons of the school, not only criticized the Board's action as detrimental to the community and the students, but also urged the Board to reconsider its decision. The involvement of the Arcola Community League in potentially concurring with this resolution indicates a broader community effort to challenge the closure of Lenah School. The list of signatories, including prominent local individuals, highlights the widespread opposition to the School Board's decision and the united front put forth by the community in advocating for the school's preservation.

A History of Conklin Village, Loudoun County Volume Two: Historical Documents BY LARRY ROEDER, MS Comments and corrections are welcome. Email Larry Roeder at admin@artbyroeder.com Note: very likely more information will emerge over time, even after the volume is printed. Our intent is to add the additional information to the on-line version. This study is copyrighted by Larry Roeder, MS, June 1, 2014. On-line versions of each volume are available in PDF format at the Conklin Village Project, http://conklinproject.wordpress.com/. Printed copies will be sold on amazon.com. 1 History of Conklin, Loudoun, Va. Volume 2: Historical Documents. Introduction This volume contains computer scans of historical documents of importance to the series on Conklin History from the archives of the Circuit Court of Loudoun County and the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin. Digital copies of all of these records and other files are also stored at the archives of the Prosperity Baptist Church. Section One contains copies of registrations for freed slaves that moved to Loudoun County with Hampton Brewer before the Civil War. Those African-Americans and their descendants are the main focus of the Conklin series, though clearly there were many, very interesting "white" people who lived in Conklin as well and whose history deserves to be told in the second edition, which will consolidate all information. The registrations in Section One were essential documents in Virginia before the close of the Civil War, without which freed slaves could be punished. We highly recommend that those interested in slavery and racial discrimination go to the archives of the Circuit Court of Loudoun in Leesburg, Virginia and take a look. Their entire collection has yet to be digitized, so we hope that can be accomplished, not only to help African- Americans better understand their family history; but also so that all Americans can understand this important aspect of slavery and segregation. Section Two contains copies of interesting church documents and artifacts from the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin. The originals are in the archives and can be seen by making an appointment. One of the more interesting is a letter to Charles Dean from 1893. Section Three contains a scanned copy of a handwritten hymn book by the Secretary of Prosperity Baptist Church, Christine Allen. The hand written collection contains 18 hymns and songs, mostly associated with Christmas. We suspect the book was written during the depression when Christina was a student, though there is no date. A school is named on the cover, but age has made it impossible to make out. 2 History of Conklin, Loudoun, Va. Volume 2: Historical Documents. Some pieces are quite famous and were authored by people like Handel and Verdi. One piece, Cockles and Mussels is now the anthem of the City of Dublin and is the story of a beloved prostitute and fish monger who died of fever, not a normal church hymn. Rheuben Rache/was also a popular comic song used by Minstrels and rewritten following World War One with an earthy tone. Another is OL Satin, a part of a famous Negro spiritual. Most are variants of the original text, so I've also included the "official text" when I could find them, and some history. One piece called Washington was a popular patriotic hymn, well known to school children in the 1920s and 30s. In each case, I've tried to provide information on the author and the original words. Section Four is the scan of a wonderful, small notebook full of handwritten comments on life in Conklin in the 1920's, mostly through unordered financial transactions and personal notes, mainly 1926 to 1928, some as early as 1916. There is some art as well as poetry. I don't know for sure who made the notes, but because of the emphasis on activities of the Lucien Allen family, one of his children or perhaps his wife probably created the notebook. His wife was Mary Dean Allen (1880-1960), who acquired a BS in Education from Hampton Institute and taught at Conklin Colored School before returning to Hampton in 1940. In order to understand its context, the book should also be read in conjunction with A History of Conklin Village, Loudoun County, Volume One: A Basic History (Roeder 2014). Language Related to Race Racial terminology is a very sensitive topic. When I worked with native-Americans, I came to realize that some tribal members called themselves: Indians, Native-Americans or by their tribe, e.g. Navajo. When talking to Bedouins in Egypt, they preferred Bedouin or al-'Arab, not Egyptian. Racial terms like African-American, Black, Negro, Colored, Mulatto, etc. are used in the volumes in this series and will offend some people; but they should be seen in the context of the source document or interviewee. After a discussion with Pastor Lawson of Prosperity Baptist Church, it was agreed that I 3 History of Conklin, Loudoun, Va. Volume 2: Historical Documents. would use the term African-American when speaking in my voice of people descendant from African slaves; however, census and county records would in the past often refer to people as colored, Negro or mulatto. Contemporary interviewees might say Black or colored. In those instances, I use the term proposed by the source. No term is universally used by the world, so it is our hope that the readers will understand that we are trying to honor people and never offend. We welcome other suggestions.

Historian Larry Roeder's work, "History of Conklin, Loudoun, Va. Volume 2: Historical Documents," sheds light on the rich history of Conklin Village in Loudoun County. The volume, dated June 1, 2014, contains scans of significant historical documents from the Circuit Court of Loudoun County and the Prosperity Baptist Church archives, offering insight into the lives of freed slaves who settled in Loudoun County pre-Civil War. Roeder emphasizes the importance of understanding the history of slavery and racial discrimination, urging readers to explore the archives for a deeper understanding. The volume also includes church documents and artifacts, such as hymns and songs, giving readers a glimpse into the cultural and religious life of the community. Roeder's careful consideration of racial terminology reflects his commitment to honoring the individuals whose stories are preserved in these documents. Through his work, Roeder aims to provide a comprehensive and respectful account of Conklin's history for future generations to appreciate.

94 Signurs To the Loudoun County School Board Leesburg, Virginia Gentlemen: At a meeting of the Waterford Citizens Association held in the school auditorium on the 24th of January, 1949 the following resolution was unanimously adopted: The citizens of Waterford and surrounding terri- tory have for the past eleven years or more (and more particularly since their High School was abandoned) worked with untiring energy to better the existing school, with the purpose of making it one of the outstanding grade schools in the county. We feel that with this spirit clearly demon- strated over so long a period we are now justified in asking the School Board to give us another teacher to assist in teaching the seven grades now taught in the school. A very careful canvas has been made by responsible representatives of the school and they find the following: We now have 92 pupils in the school, using three rooms with three teachers. Seven of these pupils will graduate this year to the eighth grade. We will have a minimum increase this year in the first grade of 23 pupils which will leave the enrollment at the beginning of next year approximately 108. the first and second grade teacher is now teaching 21 pupils in the first grade and 16 in the second grade, all in one room. Next year this same teacher would have at least 25 ir the first grade and 19 in the second grade in one room. This room will not hold these students, and in any case 44 pupils in two grades is far too great a burden for one teacher. It will plainly be necessary to use the 4th room and t.. have another teacher. This increase in the total number of pupils can be expected to con- tinue, since the three highest grades are currently very small, while the prospects are that the incoming first grades will continue to be large. We want also to point out that the great increase plate any immediate improvements in the schools in in the budgets for 1949-50 and 1950-51 does not contem- been made take care of the Auditorium which should have system Jefferson to District, except some addition to our heating ments all other Districts have substantial improve- Prac- tically at the time the Auditorium was built. budgeted andin -2- brookland that It is therefore resolved that 'the School Board be requested to provide a fourth teacher forothe Waterford School. sliles world We submit this resolution with the hope that will be favorably received by the School (Board and steps taken at once to provide the necessary funds to carry out the suggested the program.

On January 24th, 1949, the Waterford Citizens Association in Leesburg, Virginia, convened to raise concerns over the lack of resources and teachers at their local school. Having worked tirelessly for over a decade to improve the school since the closure of their High School, the citizens called for the addition of a fourth teacher due to an increase in student enrollment. The resolution, signed by 94 individuals, highlighted the overcrowding in classrooms and the need for more resources to accommodate the growing number of students. They pointed out the inadequacy of the current budget allocations and the lack of improvements in the school's infrastructure, including the auditorium. This historical document serves as a testament to the community's dedication to education and their advocacy for better facilities and resources for their children.

In 1926, a group of colored teachers in Loudoun County, Virginia came together to petition for a pay increase due to the rising cost of living and the demanding nature of their responsibilities. The petition, dated March 6, 1926, outlined their need for a salary raise and was signed by multiple teachers including W. A. Walker, Alice C.L. Murray, and Sarah Henderson. The teachers submitted their petition to the Loudoun County School Board, but unfortunately, the board was unable to allocate additional funds for a pay raise at that time. The Division Superintendent, O.L. Rae, responded to the petition on March 12, 1926, expressing that the board could not grant the request due to financial constraints. This historical document sheds light on the challenges faced by colored teachers in Virginia during this time period in their fight for fair compensation.

The text, dated March 17, 1930 from Round Hill, Virginia, provides insight into the sentiments of the local community towards educational policies and infrastructure. The author, Walter Parks, expresses concerns about his health preventing him from attending a board meeting in Feesburg and shares his support for a half-day of school as opposed to a full day. He adamantly opposes the use of a bus for transporting students, citing gossip among young ladies and concerns about the small size of the student population. Parks also highlights the perceived unfair treatment of farmers in terms of taxes and work. Additionally, he praises a teacher named Miss Omogeher and hopes for her return the following year. Overall, the text reflects the community's attachment to their local school and apprehension about potential changes in education.

Waterford, Va. March 29, 1947 Mr. o O.L. Emerick, Supt. Loudoun County Schools, Leesburg, Va. Dear Mr. Emerick, We want to thank you for the reply to our recent letter, part of which has been the basis for school discussions at the meetings of our Citizens Association. There are still many questions to be answered and we hope that you will find time to give us the information asked for from time to time. I am listing a few questions which we hope you will answer promptly as the next meeting of our Association will be held on the evening of April 8th. 1. Have the consolidations SO far effectuated, resulted in decreasing the number of students per teacher? 2. Have these consolidations resulted in an increase of space available per pupil ? 3. Have the students in the consolidated schools been en- ? abled as a result of the consolidation to have greater access to and to make fuller use of recreational facilities? 4. Have the other facilities available to the students im- proved in quality with the consolidation? If so, what specific improvements are there? 5. Has consolidation resulted in making money available to raise teachers' salaries? 6. Has consolidation resulted in an increased proportion of teachers who meet the Sta te standards of qualification? 7. Has any study been made to ascertain whether any benefits which may have resulted from consolidation overbalance the effect of the increased travel required of the students with its resulting physical drain and reduction of time which can be spent at the school and in using such recreational facilities as are available? 8. Has any study been made to determine whether the students are actually better trained in the consolidated schools than they were formerly? 9. Has the county or the State established any standards and tests by which the quality of the training given the students can be judged? (2) Now as to the statements in the County papers xxxxx recently published I see that the School Board does not understand why we so excited about the Waterford School, as no move has been made to abandon that school, and the statement that you do not know where the statement originated that there was any move to molest this school in any way. Now the fact is that Mr. Ford informed me in person that Mr. Hickman had on several occasions attempted at least to have the Board vote to transport the graduates of the Waterford School to Lovettsville, Va. and your statements that it had been customary for the grade children to go the same way as the older children makes it very clear in our minds that if you did take the graduates of our school to Lovettsville that you would at the same time take grade children between here and Lovettsville which would in itself close our school. Are you willing to tell us that this will not be done; that is that if the graduates of our school are taken to Lovettsville that the grade children will not go also, and if so, will not have the effect of closing our school. Please be definite in your reply to the above, and we hope that we are not taking too much of your time. Yours very truly, n. Myerm President Waterford Community Citizens Association April 2, 1947 Mr. Douglas N. Myers, President Waterford Community Citizens Association Waterford, Virginia Dear Mr. Myers: Your letter of March 29, 1947 in which you ask a number of questions is acknowledged. Your questions seem to implicate consolidation when it is not certain that consolidation is a factor. I am answering your questions in their numerical order. 1. Consolidation has increased and equalized the number of and children per teacher. The minimumaaverage are more, the maximum is less. 2. Consolidation has decreased the average per square foot per pupil in class-rooms but other space has more than offset this. Also see answer to 1. 3. Consolidation has provided more adequate recreational facilities for pupils. 4. Consolidation has improved instruction very definitely, has brought about improvement in'per cent of attendance on enrollment and has made it possible to improve physical facilities, such as provision for indoor toilets, more adequately safeguarded water supply and provision for furnace heat, and has made high schools available to many 7th grade graduates who formerly could not have reached high school. 5. Consolidation seems to have saved 25 teachers since 1926- 27. At the average of $1439. in 1945-46 the 25 teachers would have cost $35,975. This compares with an increase in cost of transportation since 1926-27 of $32,152. But in 1945-46 transportation was furnished for hundreds of pupils who lived in areas that were several miles from any school and provided their own transportation or did not go to school. 2 - Douglas N. Myers April 2, 1947 6. I think consolidation has resulted in an increased pro- portion of teachers who meet the state standards of qualifications but the figures) seem to say it has not. The effect of consolidation can't be measured in this instance with any degree of accuracy. In 1926-27 we were 8 years away from World War I. The minimum require- ment for a certificate was one year in college. In 1945- 46 we were just completing World War II. The minimum requirement for a certificate was 4 years in college. Also in 1945-46 we were in the midst of the greatest excess demand over supply for goods and services ever known. Since 1926-27 there had opened up many new avenues of employment for women. 7. I know of no definite study to answer this question as to comparative value of benefits from consolidation set off against the physical drain and time consumed in travel. 8. During the time we had many small schools we made numerous tests to compare the abilities of pupils in one-room and two-room schools with those in larger schools. We in- variably found that the pupils in smaller schools made lower scores. We also found a very low per cent of pupils in one-room and two-room schools were finishing the 7th grade as compared with the situation in our larged schools. (about 40%) That covers elementary grades. In case of high schools we knew at the time we had quite small schools that on the average the smaller schools made poorer scores thaN those in larger schools. In standard tests given last year and this year two separate tests used indicate higher scores in the larger high schools. We know also that in consolidated high schools, students are offerred a greater variety of subjects so that they may study that which is more nearly adapted to their needs and surely, in this instance, these pupils are better trained. 9. We have recently given in the 11th grades of all high schools and in the 4th and 7th grades standard achievement and intelligence tests. These were state tests and the results are reported to the State office. They were given last year, also. I doubt very much, however, if these figures give any proof about consolidation because in fact all high schools are now consolidated schools.
In a letter dated March 29, 1947, the President of the Waterford Community Citizens Association addressed concerns to Loudoun County Schools Superintendent, O.L. Emerick, regarding the effects of school consolidations on teacher-student ratios, available space per pupil, recreational facilities, teacher qualifications, student training, and the closure of the Waterford School. In a response dated April 2, 1947, Douglas N. Myers, President of the Waterford Community Citizens Association, acknowledged the concerns and provided detailed answers to each query. Myers highlighted the positive impacts of consolidation on teacher-student ratios, improved instructional quality, attendance rates, and access to high schools for 7th grade graduates. He also discussed the increased proportion of qualified teachers and the administration of standardized tests to assess student achievements in consolidated schools. The exchange between the Citizens Association and the County Schools Superintendent reflects the ongoing debates and inquiries surrounding the consolidation of schools in Loudoun County during the mid-20th century.

Trek to Bluemont Colored School Finding the BlueMont Colored School By Larry Roeder Principal Investigator The Edwin Washington Project 9/26/2017 Summary Larry Roeder, Anthony Archiero and Henry Plaster visited the site of the former Bluemont Colored School on September 23, 2017, with permission of the Loudoun County Public Schools. With the help of compass and topographical maps, hhe site, now deep in the forest near the historic village of Bluemont, was located. photographs and measurements, are described below. In the interest of preserving an important part of African-American school history, our recommendation is that LCPS should never sell the property, or if disposed, that it be turned over to a registered non-profit dedicated the preservation of Black history. We also suggest a street marker be erected on the Snickersville Turnpike informing the public of the school and its location. At present, nearly everyone we interviewed in Bluemont thought that the Snickersville Academy was the "colored school," which is not accurate. A sign would preserve the memory of the place.

Young about a quarter of an acre of land near the village on which was already standing a "free school for colored people." The building had also been a place of worship. This was part of a larger tract Young had previously acquired from Dr. George E. Plaster. Note: Benjamin Franklin Young, an African-American, was an "apprentice doctor" to Dr. George E. Plaster shortly after the end of the Civil War. George was grandfather to Henry Plaster, our guide¹. The deed placed the school under the control of three trustees, white Quakers, all members of the Goose Greek Meeting House. Hugh R. Holmes2 Hugh He Horbers James W. Nichols, who appears to have been born about 1836 and was married to Hannah Howell. He died in 1909. James H mechols Samuel W. Brown, born about 1837. Same a Brown Control was given these three men and their successors forever of a free school property for colored people. Because the houses on the lot were built by donations and subscriptions, it was understood the location could remain a place of worship so long as 1 Young was the first known black physician in Loudoun, apprenticed by Dr. George E. Plaster, ca 1870, former lieutenant in the Confederate Army and Snickersville physician.

The deed was registered May 2, 1878³. We need to more fully research on the term "houses". How many, and where was the rest of the Black community and its graveyard? We plan on further research on that and the Quakers. History of the School: From the deed, it would appear that free education for African-Americans may have predated 1878. Public schools didn't begin until 1870/71, so this site is historically important to both Loudoun County and the local African-American community, as well as Loudoun's Quakers. Loudoun County School records in the Edwin Washington Archives indicate that Bluemont was a one room frame school, heated with wood, that it closed in the 1932/33 academic year4 and the kids then were hauled to Rock Hill5.

The text describes the historical significance of the Bluemont Colored School, which was purchased for $5 in 1878 and provided education to African-American students in Loudoun County. The school, located near the village of Bluemont, operated until the 1932/33 academic year when students were transferred to Rock Hill. The site was under the control of three white Quaker trustees and functioned not only as a school but also as a place of worship. The visit to the site in 2017 aimed to document the location and condition of the former school in order to preserve the memory of this important part of African-American history. It was recommended that the Loudoun County Public Schools should not sell the property and that a street marker be erected to inform the public of the school's historical significance.

Inhick June 29, 1927. Mr. Cecil Connor, Leesburg. Virginia. My dear Mr. Connor: Your letter of June 22 1927 requesting a copy of the petition filed in this office in relation to the candidacy of Mr. We S. fylor, Jr., for th position as principal at Aldic for the session 1927-28 has been received. On account of my absence last feek'attending a GO iference I am sorry to be delayed in replying thereto. Mr. Tyler requested to be permitted to examine this petition and I stated to him that I felt I should consult the board before permitting him to see it but as you state I did read the heading to him. It was my full intention to bring his request before our school board at its last meeting and # I had a memorandum on my desk to prompt me in the matter but in the confusion caused by the appearance of the delegationsx this was overlooked. I shall be. glad to bring this request before the County School Board on July 12, the date of the next regular meeting. I am not able to conour in your view that this petition should be open to the inspection of any citizen or tax-payer because a public document. Many public documents are confi- dential documents in the files of Federal, State and local governmental offices and there are now on file in this office several thousand confidential communications which I should consider/ it quite improper and unethical to submit to general inspection or to the inspection of the persons most effected, the candidates for positions. This petition is addressed to the school board. I do not wish to be placed on record as refusing to permit inspection of this petition by Mr. Tyler but my position is that the School Board should have a right to pass upon the request. Very sincerely yours, Division SuperIntendent. OLE_RME COMMONWEALTHS ATTORNEY CECIL CONNOR June 22nd., 1927. ATTORNEY AT LAW LEESBURG, VIRGINIA O. L. Emerick, Sup't, Purcellville, Virginia. My dear Superintendent: Mr. Wm. E. Tyler, Jr., Principal of the Aldie High School for session 26-27, has consulted me as to his right to an inspection of the the Petition, filed either with you as Sup't or the County Board, in opposition to his appoint- ment to succeed himself for the ensuing term, and has told me that he had requested you to allow him to read the Petition or to furnish him with a copy of the same and further advises me that you declined to either allow him to read the Petition in toto or to furnish him with an exact copy, but that you did read to him the heading ; but refused to let him see the names of the patrons, purporting to have signed the Petition. I have been frank to advise Mr. Tyler that this Petition is a public docu- ment and from its very nature must be and that I am at loss to understand upon what ground that you could consistently refuse to allow him to see the Petition or furnish him with a copy of the same; especially, in view of the fact that he is a. party directed affected thereby. I am decidedly of the opinion that communications of this character are public documents and that not only any citizen directly affected or interested but any cit- izen and tax-payer has a right to an inspection of such documents. Mr. Tyler has not abandonded the teaching profession; but on the contray, expects to continue therein and, if there is anything on record with the County Board, touching his qualifications, merits or demerits, or record as a teacher in Loudoun County, he wishes to advise as to the nature thereof with a view to so directing his course in the future as to avoid the errors that he may have committed in his past experience. For this reason and others he feels that he is entitled to have a copy of said Petition and to know the individuals or patros who have criticized his record. I would thank you to forward me NX a copy of said Petition in toto and, if there is any expense or fee attached to the same, I shall be pleased to remit to cover the same upon receipt of said copy and statement of the fee. Very respectfully, Cicil Some
The text, dating back to 1927, consists of two letters and a petition regarding the appointment of a new principal for Aldie High School, located in Loudoun County, Virginia. It reflects a divided opinion among the patrons of the school, with some requesting a new principal due to Mr. Tyler's alleged negligence and lack of cooperation with other teachers, while others, including prominent individuals such as Commonwealth's Attorney Cecil Connor, express support for Tyler. The communication between the Division Superintendent and Connor highlights a debate over the confidentiality of the petition and the rights of the parties involved. The text provides insight into the dynamics of education administration and local politics in a rural community during the early 20th century, illustrating the importance of patronage and community involvement in school governance.

South Riding Cemetery Tour 2pm, Sunday, January 18, 2015 You are invited to join Wynne Saffer and Larry Roeder for an informal tour of South Riding cemeteries and a discussion of field stones and cemetery preservation. Please assemble in the rear parking lot of the J. Michael Lunsford Middle School (26020 Ticonderoga Road, -- just off Braddock). Dress warmly, wear water resistant shoes and bring water and snacks. Children are encouraged to attend. For questions call Larry Roeder at 703-867-2056. Participants will drive themselves. Maps and further details are at https://conklinproject.wordpress.com/cemetery-tour/ The tour will also introduce the village of Conklin, which was started by white farmers but became more well known in the 20th century for its African-American population. The village ran along Braddock Road and up Elk Lick. Visit https://conklinproject.wordpress.com/. There will also be some discussion about the segregated school system. Please visit: https://loudounschoolproject.wordpress.com/. Sites on the tour: Stop One: Michael Lunsford Middle School, rear parking lot (26020 Ticonderoga Road). There are two sites. The first site is the Hampton Brewer Cemetery, which likely holds graves of Hampton Brewer and some former slaves he registered as free before the Civil War. The second site is a marked cemetery further to the east and accessible by a foot path. Those people are thought to be mostly Deans. Stop Two: Prosperity Baptist Church, 42962 Braddock Rd. Prosperity was established by Jennie Dean in 1899 and is full of cut field stones and traditional grave stones. Jennie was an evangelist and former slave from Prince William County whose efforts in education directly helped Loudoun African-Americans who studied at the church or at the Manassas Industrial School, the latter of which for decades was the only local avenue for a high school education. Stop Three: Dean-Settle Cabin: The one-and-a-half story log cabin (originally across Loudoun County Parkway) dates back to the first quarter of the 19th century and was a residence initially for whites and enslaved African-Americans of the Dean family who inherited the structure. Very interesting since both enslaved and freed African-Americans lived here. Stop Four: The Saffer Cemetery: The site is maintained by the Saffer family, has a bench and many traditional engraved tombstones and field stones. African-Americans, members of the Saffer family and Joseph Conklin are buried here. Conklin Village was named after Joseph. This is also the traditional west boundary Stop Five: Pangle Cemetery. This was part of the Pangle family farm. Stop Six: Mystery Cemetery. Mystery cemetery is above South Riding Boulevard and is distinguished by a ceramic pot with the mark of a cross. We do not know who is buried here, white or African-American. Stop Seven: Cage Hutchison Cemetery: This is the burial site of Andrew Micajah (Cage) Hutchison, who was born May, 1832 and died March, 1922. There are two field stone markers on the site, which is opposite Little River Elementary School. Stop Eight: Poland Cemetery: The developer placed a fence around it with a gate, but no one maintains the property. Loose branches and vines obscure what otherwise would be a very attractive feature with excellent tombstones. It's an example of why we want to create a cemetery club to maintain old sites. 1
The text invites participants to join an informal tour of South Riding cemeteries, led by Wynne Saffer and Larry Roeder. The tour aims to highlight the historical significance of the area, focusing on field stones, cemetery preservation, and the village of Conklin. Conklin, originally founded by white farmers, gained prominence in the 20th century for its African-American population, and participants will learn about the segregated school system that existed in the area. Stops on the tour include various cemeteries, each with their own historical significance, such as the Hampton Brewer Cemetery, Prosperity Baptist Church, and the Saffer Cemetery. The tour will provide insights into the lives of both enslaved and freed African-Americans who lived in the area, shedding light on the diverse history of South Riding.

Colored School A, Broad Run Farmwell Colored School A, Broad Run Farmwell, Cedar Sayre and Cedar Lane Physical Characteristics and School Session By Larry Roeder, 11/19/2014 Source: Snowden, M. M., Jackson, J. W., Thomas, W. A., Walker, J. C., & Smith, A. J. (1886- 1893). Teacher's Register for Colored School A (Broad Run), Farmwell, Cedar Sayre and Cedar Lane, Public School Register. Purcellville: LCPS. (In Balch Library, Leesburg) - Not dated: Instructor Morgan M. Snowden, so probably between Oct 4, 1886 and May 13, 1887. The building was described Colored School A and was oblong and owned by the school board. It was also a one room school house 36'x20'x10'. Heat came from a stove and ventilation was provided window. The structure sat on 1/4 acre of land. Inside the School House was one stove, ten length of pipe, one elbow, one water bucket, one dipper, one axe, one broom, 12 desks and 1 settee. 10/3/1887 - 3/30/1888: John Jackson was the instructor. Property was described as Colored School A and had the characteristics provided by Snowden. School was taught over six months split into 120 days.. - 10/1/188 - 3/29/1889: W.A. Thomas was the instructor. School was called Cedar Lane and the school session was six months split into 120 days. 1/26/1891 - 4/17/1891: John Walker was the instructor. School was called Cedar Lane and instruction covered three months split into 60 days. There were 12 desks in the structure, one bucket and cup, an axe, one broom, one stove and attachments as well a 1/4 box of crayons. The school was also described as rented, vs in 1887 when it was described as owned. 11/12/1892 - 4/29/1892: Adam.J. Smith was the instructor and the school was called Cedar Sayre. It was described as a rented wooden frame one room structure with window ventilation and stove heat. The dimensions were described as 24x20x15. Inside was the stove, 12 desks, one bucket and cup, one broom, one set of stove attachments, one axe and 3/4 of a box of crayons. 1/2/1893 - 5/19/1893: Adam J. Smith was the instructor instructing for five month split into 100 days. The building was described as owned and frame construction. It had one room on a 1/2 acre of land. A stove heated and window ventilation was used for cooling. Inside was a bucket, a stove and attachments, one broom, one axe, 4 desks with teacher's stand.
The historical text from 1886-1893 provides valuable insight into the physical characteristics and school sessions of Colored School A, Broad Run Farmwell, Cedar Sayre, and Cedar Lane in Purcellville. The school building, initially described as oblong and owned by the school board, evolved to a one-room schoolhouse with specific dimensions and amenities such as stove heating, window ventilation, desks, and tools. The instructors changed over the years, with each session lasting around six months split into 120 days except for one session lasting only three months. The transition from rented to owned structures demonstrates the shift in property ownership. This information sheds light on the educational environment for African American children during this time period, highlighting the limited resources and changing leadership in these segregated schools.

1 Once Lost, Now Found: Volunteers Discover and Preserve Forgotten Black Student Records 2016-04-282016-04-29 Danielle NadlerLoudoun Now "It was a typical day's work." That's how Sue Hall and others in the Loudoun school system's Student Records Department describe the morning two years ago when they walked into the Union Street School in Leesburg to take a look around. The building, which once served as an all-black school, had been all but abandoned. But they got a tip that there may-just may-be student records in there worth saving. Hall, Donna Kroiz and others noticed a pile of a dozen dusty boxes stashed under a staircase. They pulled out a couple and lifted the lids. Under a thick layer of dust, spider webs and even rat droppings, sat what local history experts are calling "a treasure trove" almost lost. Stacked in worn cartons were students' classroom assignments and grades, teachers' evaluations, correspondence between superintendents and school boards, and several letters from Loudoun's black community petitioning for equal education, among other significant records. "We couldn't quite believe it," said Hall, the school system's record archivist. "We thought, these should be saved." Now a team of volunteers, led by Larry Roeder, chair for research on the Friends of Thomas Balch Library's Black History Committee, have launched a year-long project to catalogue and preserve the once-lost documents that tell the story of Loudoun County schools between the Civil War and the end of racial segregation. They're calling the effort The Edwin Washington Project, named after a black teen who, between jobs, attended school in Leesburg in the 1860s. The Edwin Washington Project. www.edwinwashingtonproject.org 703-867-2056. 2 Their focus is to get a better understanding of what school was like for black students specifically during the 125 years the county's public schools were separated by race. "Their story is in these records, that sat untouched for 50 years," Roeder said. "We want to document what schools they attended, what they studied, who taught them. That's never been done before." Discovering Untold Stories Two to three days a week, Roeder and his assistant, Tony Arciero, put on dust respirator masks, roll up their sleeves and get to work. On those days, they take over the gymnasium at Figure 1Larry Roeder with the boxes of student records from the Round Hill Center; once the town's the segregation era. elementary school, it now houses Loudoun County student records. They carefully thumb through letters, grade books and other reports, some dating back to the 1840s, as they decide how best to organize the material. Each day, they uncover a new part of Loudoun's history, Roeder said. Much of it is the part that is little talked about. The county was one of the last jurisdictions in the nation to desegregate its schools. It took intervention from U.S. courts to convince Loudoun leaders to integrate schools in 1969, 15 years after the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling that segregation was unconstitutional. A stack of now-worn, dried-out petitions from the black community to the superintendent and School Board illustrate just how inequitable some of the school conditions were. They asked for more classroom space, for repairs to toilets that had been broken for months, for a sanitary drinking system-students in black schools took turns scooping water from a bucket-as well as more school supplies. One fragile sheet of paper is, most likely, the very first petition the black community submitted to Superintendent Oscar Emerick and the school board requesting "a suitable, up-to-date high school for the benefit of the colored children of our said County." Seventy-two people signed it. In another box, Roeder found a letter from those same individuals to Emerick in 1941 inviting the superintendent to speak at the opening celebration of the brand new Douglass School. "You see the slow progress," Roeder said. "I think Martin Luther King would have been proud of them (Loudoun's black community) because of their approach. It was non-violent, and they used their education to improve the system." Letters from longtime superintendent Emerick show the educators' inner struggle with splitting black and white students and teachers. He led the school system through some of its most transformative years, from 1917 to 1957. The Edwin Washington Project. www.edwinwashingtonproject.org 703-867-2056. 3 (Photo by Douglas Graham/Loudoun Now) In the early 1940s, he told the Board of Supervisors and School Board that they should seriously consider integrating the schools before the federal government forced them to. In one letter to the school board, Emerick said the school system had done pretty well for white students but not SO well for black students. He wrote, "That is prejudice." "You can see this clear build up to Brown vs. Board of Education within these documents," Arciero said. "It was happening right here." Preserving History The small team of individuals who found the records and are now working to preserve them have gotten statewide attention. The General Assembly adopted a resolution in March that praised Kroiz, Hall, Roeder and others for their work to save the material. Del. John Bell (D-87), who sponsored the bill, said this week, "It's a wonderful thing what they did. Frankly, we came close to losing a very valuable piece of history." The resolution includes language meant to protect the records from destruction. "Now, they can't be ruined," Roeder said with a smile. Roeder works as the data manager at the Department of Library Information of Science at the Catholic University of America and is adapting what he's learned in organizing the university's massive amounts of records to this project. He and Arciero, with the help of volunteers from the school system and other history buffs, are digitizing the records and organizing them into an online database at loudounschoolproject.wordpress.com1 that the public can easily navigate. They are also working on a book that summarizes what they found. The records are property of Loudoun County Public Schools and, initially, will be housed in archival boxes at the Round Hill Center..

The text is a petition dated from 1924 submitted by the citizens of the Waynesville community to the OhuOuse Board requesting the closure of the Daysville School for the upcoming term. The petition argues that the small enrollment at Daysville School does not justify keeping it open and suggests that the children could attend other schools nearby. The petitioners express their belief that a larger school with a higher enrollment would be more beneficial for the community. The signatories, including parents of children attending the school, emphasize their respect for the School Board's decision-making authority and request a fair consideration of their petition before any action is taken to close the school.

Hopefully you can open the picture, which LOUDOUN COUNTY. talks about Leithton and Water schools. Apparently in 1920 both were replaced by new schools and Waters became Emerick, which I didn't know. Two new two-room school-houses were completed this fall in Loudoun, one at Leithton and the other at Waters. Each building replaced an antiquated one-room building. As for Leithton, it sounds like Oscar Emerick is discussing a white school (because The name of the Waters school has been changed to he didn't call it colored); but I have found a different reference to a Loudoun school Emerick. of the same name which had a colored teacher.

The text is a petition from members of the Seithton School community in Loudoun County, Virginia, opposing the consolidation of several schools, including L. M. Downs and Certhur. It also mentions the completion of two new two-room schoolhouses in Leithton and Waters in 1920, replacing older buildings. There is a discussion about the possibility of a white and colored school in Leithton, with references to a supervisor for the white schools and a discussion of a colored supervisor working in Loudoun for the first time. The text also mentions a teacher, Miss Annie E. Gillem, who worked in the colored schools in the late 19th century, raising questions about the racial dynamics of the schools in the area during that time. The mention of the completion of Loudoun County's first teacherage, a six-room house located on the grounds of Lovettsville high school, gives insight into the educational infrastructure of the county during this period.

-1- Question - Have you approved or do you approve the Lincoln site for the new high school building? Answer - No Question State to the court your teasons for this answer. Answer My reasons require a good many words. School houses are built for the future and we can normally expect this build- ing to last about fifty (50) years. It is our duty to ascettain from what points the children are likely to come and in what numbers and to locate this schools at the center of high school population. We can judge the future best by a study of present conditions and past tendencies. I wish to submit as evidence in this case a map prepared by J. T. Hirst and myself which locates the high school pupils with reference to the old school site and the proposed site. The pupils are designated by small circles, the number in each circle represents high school children. The children are found listed in an official report required of every teacher which was filedx in my office as division superinteni- ent of schools on September 25, 1925 by the principal of the school and is a complete list of high school children in attendance at Lincoln on that date. The children are located on the map at the point whence they daily attended school at the time the report was made. This map shows that eleven (11) chiliren from the Hills- boro neighborhood , twenty-six (26) from the Hamilton neigh- borhood, forty-eight (48) from the Purcellville neighborhood, all naturally follow the heavy lines past the point D, the -2- proposed site, in reaching Lincoln. A new road, indicated by the heavy lashes has recently been contracted for to lead from Purcellville to Philomont. The seven (7) Philomont children and the two (2) Silcott Springs children would naturally follow the good road in the future through Pur- cellville and past the point D in reaching Lincoln. The Bluemonth pupil comes to Purcellville by train and past point D ************ to Lincoln and the one near Round Hill drives through Purcellville daily. This is a total of ninty-six (96) who reach E only after passing D. On the other hand three (3) from North Fork and twenty- one (21) from Lincoln neighborhoods, only these, a total of twenty-four (24) would pass E in reaching D. Between D. and E are located six (6) pupils who might go in either direction with about equal facility. Here we have ninty-six (96) collected at D and twenty-four (24) collected at E and our problem becomes one like this. Which is cheaper and fairer, for ninty-six (96) pupils to travel 1.2 miles twice daily for 180 days annually for 50 years or for 24 pupils to make the trip. The saving in milage is 31,104 annually if the schools is located at D. At 3 1/2 cents per miles which is about as cheap as this trans- portation is likely to be this amounts to $1088 in a year. From the standpoint of the present administrative policy which has been in practice for 10 or more years of hauling children at public expense from Hamilton and Purcellville, the outcome is similar. A motor vehicle now hauls children from Hamilton to Lincoln going past point D on our map. This vehicle re- -3- turns to Hamilton empty each morning and le aves empty each afternoon. The same trip now made could heave the Hamilton children at D and bring the Lincoln children to D each morn- ing and deliver these to Lincoln and Hamilton in the afternoon and presumably this would cost the same as now. Likewise a motor vehicle now hauls children from Purcell- ville to Lincoln. The vehicle is a 2 ton truck driven by a school boy. My own observation indicated a lack of capacity due to the number of children. The normal expec- tation is more children in the future from Purcellville because the average daily attendance in that elementary school was 60 in gradesx 4, 5, 6, and 7 four years ago but was 73 in 1925-26. This indicates an increase of 22% in the high school attendance from the Burcellville neighborhood 4 years hence. It would result in 2 trips with the vehicle instead of one as at present. To do this the vehicle would travel 3 times as far as at present and cost at least 2 times as much, or say $1,000. On the map the denominations of the blue fractions indi- cate elementary school enrollment as taken from the term re- ports from teachers to the division superintendent at the end of the 1925-26 session. Our purpose now is to see how many of these would find D more accessible, roadsx considered, and how many would find E more accessible. We must add Philomont 52, Silcott Springs 49, Hamilton 103, Purcellville 198, and Hillsboro 43, taking only half at Hills- horo because it has two years of high school work. This total of 445 are more accessible to D. The 44 at North Fork and 84 at Lincoln a total of 128 are more accessible to -4- point E. The principle of the greatest good to the greatest number requires that the school be located at D, the new pro- posed site on the Love property. We have some information in relation to past tendencies. In 1909 when the Lincoln high school building was erected, the official records show that Lincoln elementary school en- rolled 64 pupils and had 3 teachers, it enrolled 84 pupils this year and had 3 teachers, Hamilton had 92 pupils in 1909 with 3 teachers, it had 103 this year with 3 teachers, - - -Purcellville had 61 in 1909 with 2 teachers and 198 this year with 6 teachers. Hillsboro, Philomont, Sil- cott Springs , and North Fork have change3 but little in enrollment. Only Purcellville shows marked increase in school population and there the school population or enroll- ment more than trebled in 16 years. Likewise the assessed valuation of property assessed for school purposes in Purcellville in 19 03 was % of that for the district and in 1925 it was 20% of that for the district. Again, the Federal SHEES Census shows that in 1910 Purcellville corporation had a population of 375 while the present population is shown by a special police census to be 760764 The shifting of the school population since 1909 is shown in the contrast between the map already presented and one shich I now submit. This map was likewise prepared By Mr. J. T. Hirst and myself. It shows the high school
The text in question, an excerpt from a historical document, sheds light on the decision-making process behind the location of a new high school building in the early 20th century. The speaker, likely a school official or superintendent, presents a detailed analysis of student populations, transportation logistics, and growth trends in various neighborhoods surrounding the proposed sites. By referencing maps, enrollment figures, and historical data from as early as 1909, the speaker argues for the new high school to be located at a specific site referred to as "D," based on factors such as accessibility, future population projections, and cost considerations. The text reflects the careful planning and consideration that went into decisions regarding school infrastructure and resource allocation during this period, highlighting the intersection of education policy, demographic trends, and community needs.

The statistical report from Loudoun County Public Schools in 1928-29 provides valuable insight into the educational system of the time. The report shows a significant disparity in enrollment between white and colored students, with white students making up the majority. The average attendance was higher for white students compared to colored students. The numbers also reveal a lack of high school teachers for colored students, reflecting the segregation present in education during this period. The report indicates differences in salaries for high school and elementary teachers, with high school teachers earning more on average. The data on school property value highlights the unequal distribution of resources between white and colored schools. Overall, the report underscores the racial segregation and disparities in educational opportunities that existed in Loudoun County during the late 1920s.

Unlike in other neighboring counties like Prince William, which would lose many records to the fire of war, Rogers ordered county clerk George K. Fox, Jr. to remove the records to a place of safety. They were then placed in a large wagon and removed to Campbell County, about 175 miles south along present day Route 29 just SW of Appomattox. During the war Fox moved about to preserve the record's safety until 1865 when he brought them back to Loudoun intact (Williams, 1938, p. 200). Clearly, Fox is also owed a great debt by all historians. I 1.2 Introduction to the Series The Conklin Village Project is a history developed by Larry Roeder at the request of the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin Village, Loudoun County, and in cooperation with the Black History Committee (BHC) of the Balch Library, Leesburg, Virginia. The history is intended to honor the pioneers of Conklin, their descendants and the many generations of members of Prosperity. Some comparative analysis also examines African-American vs White life in Loudoun before the advent of desegregation. I definitely will summarize some similarities and differences; however, an in-depth discussion of that topic, especially the economic aspects, is outside the scope of the paper. Although the focus is on the African-American experience, the villages of Loudoun were often biracial, even though some like Purcellville had an actual "color line." So to present a fuller image of Conklin life, I've included analysis of both the Conklin Colored School and McGraw's Ridge school for whites since both serviced the same village. The volumes also represent a collaborative effort involving interviews of people born in Conklin, historians, geographers, archivists, etc. In other words, this is not simply my effort. It is the result of a team. With that in mind, corrections and suggestions are invited for the second edition. Send them to the Conklin Historical Project, c/o 26128 Talamore Drive, South Riding, Va., 20152. Many original documents were used, especially in the archives of the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin, the Loudoun County Circuit Court Archives in Leesburg and the 5

To THE LOUDOUN COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD: The undersigned citizens residing in the section of the County now served by the school in Philomont would respectfully show that this school has been operated for a number of years for the convenience and education of the children in that immed- iate vicinity and at present is serving that vicinity as efficiently as it has for some years. There is a rumorthat Your Board is contemplating closing this school and transporting the children to other schools which in the opinion of the undersigned would work a hardship on the children, the majority of whom are young and if they have to stand in the weather and wait for the transportation it would be a hardship upon them and we believe many of these children, due to their station in life would be handicapped by criticism of other children who are more fortunate and do not realize the surroundings of some of the poorer children in the rural sections. We respectfully request that you continue the school in Philomont for we feel that it is to the best interest of the children and patrons in that section. Respectfully, mrs.

September 27, 1949 The County School Board of Loudoun County Leesburg, Virginia Attention: William T. Smith, Chairman Dear Mr. Smith: Enclosed herewith please find a duly certified copy of a re- solution adopted by the Middleburg Parent-Teachers Association at a special meeting held on September 26, 1949. Very truly yours, Francis Francis P. Yeager Repayer Encl. (1) President At a special meeting of the Middleburg Parent-Teachers Association, held at 8:00 P.M. at the elementary school in Middleburg, Virginia, on Sep- tember 26, 1949, a quorum being then and there present, the following reso- lution was introduced by Mr. Wharton E. Hall, seconded by Mr. Humphrey 0. Dodson, and, after due discussion, unanimously adopted: WHEREAS the present kitchen and cafeteria facilities at the Middle- burg Elementary School are grossly inadequate to the extent of working a hardship on those individuals who undertake to prepare and serve the meals, as well as the recipient children themselves, and, WHEREAS, the over-crowded conditions presently prevailing at the Middleburg Elementary School necessitate the use of the auditorium for classroom work, although such a temporary expedient is completely un- satisfactory, and, WHEREAS, by the erection of a new addition at an estimated cost of $16,000.00, the space now used for the preparation and serving of meals could readily be adapted to use as a vitally needed classroom, thus re- leasing the auditorium for recreational use, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Middleburg Parent-Teacher Association go on record as strongly advocating the immediate alloca- tion of a sum of money, estimated to be approximately $16,000.00, for the purpose of constructing a suitable cafeteria as a permanent improve- ment and addition to the Middleburg Elementary School, which said addi- tion shall be sufficiently commodious to provide a daily luncheon for approximately 110 children, and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that The County School Board of Loudoun County be urged and requested to take appropriate steps toward per- fecting this proposal. I certify that the above is a true and correct copy. President, Teacher Francis Francis Middleburg P. Payages Yeager Parent Association
On September 27, 1949, a resolution was adopted by the Middleburg Parent-Teachers Association advocating for the construction of a new cafeteria at Middleburg Elementary School due to the inadequate facilities and overcrowded conditions. The resolution, presented to the Loudoun County School Board by Francis P. Yeager, President of the association, highlighted the hardships faced by individuals preparing and serving meals, as well as the students themselves. The proposed addition, estimated to cost $16,000, would not only provide a suitable cafeteria for approximately 110 children but also free up space for classroom and recreational use. The resolution urged the school board to allocate the necessary funds and take steps towards implementing this permanent improvement to the school. This document serves as a valuable historical record of the efforts made by parents and teachers to address the deficiencies in educational facilities in 1949.

A History of Conklin Village: Christine Allen A History of Conklin Village, Loudoun County Christine Allen At Armstrong Technical High School BY LARRY ROEDER, MS C 11/8/2014. See also http://conklinproject.wordpress.com/. 1 A History of Conklin Village: Christine Allen About: Christine Allen is also discussed at length in the introductory volume in this series. An important member of the Allen family, Christine was both a school teacher at various colored schools and a student at Armstrong Technical High School in Washington, DC, as well as a secretary of the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin. We hope to more fully explore Christine's experiences at Armstrong and in Conklin in later editions. This edition contains a copy of her lesson book from Armstrong from 1927 in Part One and a book of signatures from 1927-1929 in Part Two. Hopefully, descendants of some of her classmates at Armstrong will also help us flesh out a clearer understanding of her experiences. The original records are in the Archives of the Prosperity Baptist Church at 42962 Braddock Rd Chantilly, VA 20152. About Language: Racial terminology is a very sensitive topic. When I worked with native-Americans, I came to realize that some tribal members called themselves: Indians, Native-Americans or by their tribe, e.g. Navajo. When talking to Bedouins in Egypt, they preferred Bedouin or al-'Arab, not Egyptian. When racial terms like African-American, Black, Negro, Colored, Mulatto, etc are used in the volumes in this series, they should be seen in the context of the source document or interviewee. After a discussion with Pastor Lawson of Prosperity Baptist Church, it was agreed that I would use the term African- American when speaking in my voice of people descendant from African slaves; however, census and county records would in the past often refer to people as colored, Negro or mulatto. Contemporary interviewees might say Black or colored. In those instances, I use the term proposed by the source. No term is universally used by the world, and some will be offended by one or another term. It is our hope that the 2 A History of Conklin Village: Christine Allen readers will understand that we are trying to honor people and never offend. We welcome other suggestions.

A meeting of the patrons of the Waterford High School & other interested citizens of the community was held on the night of March 1, 1937 for the purpose of making a concerted effort to have reversed the recent decision of the State Board of Education, depriving the Waterford community of an accredited or certificated High School. It was the unanimous opinion of those present that the decision of the Board of Education was more far reaching in its effect than any decision they had ever rendered affecting the School System of Loudoun County, more particularly in the case of the Waterford High School. We realize it is not alone the effect it might have upon those boys and girls desiring an education, who happen to be so un- fortunately situated that they would be absolutely deprived of the benefits of a high school education, even though the local school board might put into effect the best means available to transport pupils to an accredited high school. The effect upon the community itself is so far reaching that only those in direct contact with local conditions can properly estimate the devastating effect that will surely be accomplished. Since it is clear to every patron of this school that it probably is not within the jurisdiction of the local school board to have by its own initiative this decision or ruling of the state board of Education or its Superintendent, reversed. It is then the duty of every sinsible fair minded man, woman or child interested, to prepare to gird for battle and to use every means at their command, political or otherwise, to accomplish this great purpose. Now be it Resolved: That the Patrons of the Waterford High School and interested members of the community whose names are signed below, do unanimously request the School Board of Loudoun County to use every effort at their command to have this school accredited or certificated, and that their records show their approval or disapproval of this re- quest, and same recorded in the minutes of their meeting held this day, March 9, 1937.
In March of 1937, a meeting of the patrons of Waterford High School and other concerned citizens in Loudoun County convened to address the recent decision by the State Board of Education to strip the school of its accreditation. The unanimous consensus was that this decision had a profound impact not only on the students who would be denied a high school education, but also on the community as a whole. It was understood that the local school board may not have the power to reverse this ruling on its own, prompting a call to action for all community members to rally together in any way possible to fight for the reinstatement of the school's accreditation. The resolution passed by the attendees of the meeting, urging the Loudoun County School Board to take all necessary steps to regain the school's accreditation, underscores the determination of Waterford's supporters to preserve educational opportunities for its youth.

November 19, 1949 Mrs. Metta Watts Smith 1401 Fairmont Street, N. W. Washington, D. C. Dear Mrs. Smith: Your letter of November 15, in reference to the road situation at Sunny Ridge has come to my attention. I have talked to our resident engineer for the Virginia Highway System and he tells me you also wrote to him about the matter. It seems that the road on the front side of your school property is In the secondary system of Virginia but the road on the other side is not. Mr. Board explained to me that he has no authority to work this road. Apparently it was formerly 8.* public road and probably can still be so considered. There is no right of way across your property and any use of a road across this land could be stopped by you. There are possibly three ways by which this could be done. (1) Ascertain the names of the property owners above your property and request that they stop going across, suggesting that they remove the obstacles from the regular road. (2) Post no trespassing and no thoroughfare signs across the apparent road on your property at both entrances. (3) Fence the property. I am sorry not to be more help but if there is anything specific that you think I might do to help you with this situation please advise me. Very sincerely yours, O. L.

The text is a series of correspondences between Mrs. Metta Watts Smith and various officials regarding a road issue at Sunny Ridge in Virginia. Mrs. Smith expresses concern about people using a strip of road on her property as a right of way, potentially making them trespassers. The Division Superintendent, O. L. Emerick, explains that the road in question is on the secondary system of Virginia and that there are three possible solutions to address the issue. Mrs. Smith also writes to the Chairman of the Loudoun County School Board requesting action to prevent further use of the road by neighboring property owners. A later letter from Mr. Emerick confirms the removal of Mr. Charles H. Smith's name from a petition, indicating administrative adjustments being made in response to individual requests. Overall, these exchanges reflect the bureaucratic processes and property rights concerns common in mid-20th century rural America.

Corper, and others, reflects the power struggle and discontent within the Lovettsville District over the leadership of the school, highlighting the importance of community involvement in educational matters during this time period.

Edmead Mr Henry Page Mr, Joseph R mix Robert Thomas ms E va Stewart November 7, 1944: Grant school parents complained of the crowded conditions and asked that an additional room be added in order to avoid the spread of disease. Grant School 1944 Nov 7 November 16, 1944 On November 16, 1944, famed attorney James. H. Raby wrote to the O.L. Emerick, Superintendent of Schools in Loudoun on busing and on Grant. Raby practiced law in Alexandria from 1941 until he died at the age of 78 in 1981. He was no average lawyer. One of his claims to fame was to win a case for bus integration before the Virginia Supreme Court (James H. Raby, Lawyer Won a Noted Va. Civil Rights Case 1981). See LOTTIE E. TAYLOR V. COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA., 38665 Record No. 3267. Supreme Court of Virginia. March 1, 1948. In his letter in 1944, Raby said "You have received a letter from a number of the parents in Middleburg complaining of the crowded condition at Grant School. As they stated to you, there were two rooms of which ninety-six children had to be cared for by two teachers. Under these conditions, there is no way that these children can get adequate training. This condition should not exist and there is not any reason for such condition because there is ample space to enlarge the school building. "As an attorney for these parents, I am requesting that this condition be remedied. It is not our intention to request anything that is not reasonable for the benefit of these children. We are only asking that you would do your duty and that you will provide an adequate building and sufficient teachers to teach the pupils that are enrolled in the school so that they will not become so discouraged that they will leave school at an early age." January 15, 1945 Memorandum from patrons of Middleburg thanking Superintendent and School Board for agreement to relieve crowded conditions at Grant. Grant School 15 Jan 1945 January 16, 1945 A fascinating petition of January 16, 1945 to Mr. Emerick, Superintendent highlights the problem sometimes of knowing who has the authority to negotiate a deal. The PTA (Community League) of Middleburg complained that Emerick had struck a deal with Mr. John Wanzer, who was the head of County Wide League when Wanzer didn't have that authority. Instead, they pointed to their attorney James Raby of Alexandria as the only agent representing the PTA. They also found Emerick's resolution condescending. What they wanted was relief for "the deplorable conditions at Grant School," through construction of a fresh structure. While they recognized that resource availability was a problem, nonetheless the need stood. Emerick then responded on January 17 that he didn't want to expand Grant, instead wished to build a new structure; but the complexities of appropriating money and building a design, etc. would take time. He needed cooperation, especially the new building would cost $85,000. In 2016 currency, that was equivalent to $1,130,000! These memos are attached to memoranda of February 12, 1945 and February 13, which continued the discussion. Grant School Petition 1945 Location: LCPS Archives: Petition Folder. A terse memo of February 6, 1946 continued the position that Grant in Middleburg was stressed. From the PTA and Community League of the Grant School offered an ardent argument for avoiding building a new building in Saint Louis; instead to build a school in Middleburg that would service Saint Louis. Middleburg felt that the roads in Saint Louis were unsatisfactory and indeed impassable in winter. They felt Saint Louis was swamps, requiring much drainage. There were also no stores, theatre or denominational churches and in the opinion of the authors a lacking of "Negro leadership and Negro wealth.' They also felt that a school's surroundings ought to be able to "offset the decoy of youngsters," and that Saint Louis didn't provide that. They also saw a lack of clinical facilities or a physician who could arrive quickly. Interestingly, they also opined that "in this atomic age," the school would not improve the "panorama of our colored and white citizens." Finally, they felt Saint Louis little opportunity for boarding teachers. Having made those points, they argued for an alternative site, that of William N. Hall at the historically African-American community of Maxville. Grant School Petition of 1946 Location: LCPS Archives, Petitions Folder.

In 1944, the parents of Grant school in Middleburg, Virginia complained about overcrowded conditions, fearing the spread of disease amongst the 96 students in two rooms with only two teachers. Prominent attorney James H. Raby wrote to Superintendent Emerick advocating for a new building to alleviate this issue. By January 1945, a memorandum thanked the school board for addressing the crowded conditions. However, tensions arose when the PTA disputed the authority of Mr. Wanzer in negotiations, instead recognizing Raby as their legal representative. The issue continued into 1946, with the community advocating against building a new school in Saint Louis and instead proposing an alternative site in Maxville. This historical documentation provides insight into the educational and societal challenges faced by the community during this time.

EDWIN WASHINGTON PROJECT Special Report on School Construction and Enrollment Related Documents About the Special Report The records in the LCPS archives which the Edwin Washington Project is examining contain thousands of sheets of paper on hundreds of topics, everything from civil rights to wagon routes, to curriculum, memoranda on toilets and water, essentially anything from 1846 onwards that deals with running a school system before integration happened in 1968. Although there are many gaps, Loudoun County is blessed that so many files have been preserved. In fact, preserving records is a tradition in Loudoun County going back to the advent of the Civil War. The Edwin Washington Project plans to produce many reports based on our examination of the LCPS records and papers in other archives that directly relate to segregation. This is just one, documenting when schools were built and closed. It also provides references to many academic reports related to the schools, some of which are in private hands. All the records we have found are also mentioned in a catalog which was organized according to a scheme developed with advice from the Department of Library/Information Science, the Catholic University of America. Other reports will include "Dirt Don't Burn," an analytical study of the impact of segregated education on African-Americans. We also plan special reports on health, transportation, the curriculum, management and other topics. Readers are recommended to use our website, www.edwinwashingtonproject.org which by the end of 2017 will include an interactive map showing the evolution of white and "colored" schools and their transportation routes. By 2018, we also plan to include a detailed on-line database showing who studied in which school and who instructed them. Costs of the Study The Edwin Washington Project is the first organized effort to fully document the impact of segregated education on African- Americans in Loudoun County. The cost of preserving and studying the records is covered by private contributions. Please contribute to the Edwin Washington Project, a non-profit, 501(c)(3), registered with the State of Virginia and the IRS. If you would like to contribute a donation of any size, just send a check to the Edwin Washington Project, 26128 Talamore Drive, South Riding, VA 20152. 4 Draft of 4/19/2017. EDWIN WASHINGTON PROJECT Special Report on School Construction and Enrollment Related Documents How to Use the Special Report To understand the evolution of education in Loudoun, it's important to know when schools started and ended. This is our first attempt, so as more data emerges, the report will be regularly amended. It's also important to know who attended the schools, what was instructed, who did the instruction and under what conditions, which we plan to do in future reports. Sources of information come in a variety of formats. Books and newspaper articles are referenced with standard bibliographic citations. For all other sources, we use footnotes that point to a place in the catalog showing where the physical document is found, which are special archival boxes in the Edwin Washington Archives, or in the archives of the Circuit Court of Loudoun County, the special collections of the Balch Library in Leesburg, the archives of the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin, Loudoun County, the Library of Virginia or various academic libraries in other states, as well as preservation foundations in Loudoun County. By the end of 2018, our plan is to also post on our website all of the documents in the Edwin Washington Archives, though any sensitive information controlled by state law will be redacted. Description of the Report Table Column one is an alphabetical listing of schools. Right away, the reader will notice a lot of repetition. That because if a school burned down or was closed for some other reason, a replacement with the same name might be erected. Column two shows the race associated with the school. Column three and four show when a school was open or closed, in some cases, when the land was purchased or sold. Finding precise dates hasn't always been easy, so we look forward to any recommended corrections. It is not a comprehensive list of all school ever built before integration; though is intended to cover all operated between 1865 and integration. That said, we know records of a great many are simply missing. We have not concerned ourselves with post- segregation dates, so it's possible that schools closed after integration transpired. Column five shows the construction material, e.g. wood frame, metal roof, and often also shows other physical features. We recommend going to the cited sources for more information. Column six shows if we have a photograph of the school and its physical location. Column seven shows the school district in which the school operated. Keep in mind that district names changed over time between 1846 when they were numbered to 1968. The on-line mapping product we are developing will show all those changes over time. 5 Draft of 4/19/2017.
The Edwin Washington Project's Special Report on School Construction and Enrollment Related Documents provides a comprehensive tabular study of schools in Loudoun County from the segregated era. Drawing from records in the LCPS archives, as well as other sources such as the Circuit Court of Loudoun County, Balch Library, and various historical societies, the report documents the history of schools in the county including when they were built, closed, or changed. The report also includes references to academic reports related to the schools and invites the public, especially those who attended segregated schools, to provide memories, photographs, or corrections. The Edwin Washington Project, a non-profit organization incorporated in Virginia, seeks to preserve records related to segregated education and plans to produce additional reports on health, transportation, curriculum, and more. Through their efforts, the Project aims to provide valuable insights into the impact of segregated education on African-Americans in Loudoun County.
EWP 2-5-B Yr 1930 Waterford Protest that Waterford will not be an accredited High school
At a meeting of the citizens of Waterford, Va. and community, on March 13, 1930 called for the purpose of discussing the proposed changes contemplated being made in our schools of Loudoun County, after receiving a copy of the recommendations from the County Survey Committee, the following Committee was appointed to act in behalf of the Waterford High School as they may deem fit. Rev. John A. Bowman, Talbot E. Pierce, William S. Smoot, Douglas N. Myers, W.I. Mann, James Carr. C.N. Mason, R.E. McCarty, Frederick Stabler, immediately after the adjournment of this meeting the above named Committee met and formulated the following appeal to the School Board of Loudoun County, at its meeting to be held on March 18, 1930 in the School Auditorium at Leesburg, Va. (1) We respectfully appeal to you to keep the Waterford High School on the accredited list of high schools. Here is a good school, fully equipped and serving well a rural community, which enjoys none too many advantages. It would be a step backward in education to take away a high school that has been established over twenty years and deprive the pupils of the advantages they are entitled to have, and for which we pay taxes. Gov. Pollard recently said "Education is the foundation of the whole state, to be exercised for the benefit of all children within its borders. The Waterford High School is not to blame for having under thirty-five pupils this year. We now have an excellent Principal and good teachers. We have reasons to know that if allowed to continue as at present, we will have the allotted number of pupils for the school term 1930-31, (2) We suggest a zone system and recommend that children in these zones attend their respective schools. (3) We are opposed to the consolidation of schools, and bus transportation as morally detrimental to the children of any community But in event consolidation of smaller schools is more fully carried out. we urge that the schools at Wheatland, Paeonian Springs and Clarks Gap, be consolidated with the Waterford school. (8) For the educational benefits of Loudoun and its present and future welfare we are unanimously opposed to the practice of employing an itinerant teacher. Respectfully submitted. Rev. John A. Bowman, W.S. Smoot, ( (Committee) W.I. Mann, C.N. Mason, R.E McCarty, Fredk. Stabler, Talbot E. Pierce, Douglas N. Myers, James Carr.

H ble Hamilton, Va. May II, I93I. Resolution to Superintendant of Public Instruction of Loudoun County. With a deep interest in the spiritual welfare of the youth of Loudoun County, and that the several forms of so called amusements sponsored by our public schools should not conflict with instruction for Christian living as taught in the Sabbath schools of our different churches; therefore be it "Resolved, That we do hereby respectfully request that all bridge games and promiscuous dancing be excluded from all graded and high schools. Grounds for request: I. That these amusements are given without the consent of a large number of taxpayers. 2. That pupils whose parents object to forms of worldly amusements given by the classes of which pupils are members are embarrassed. 3. That it is inconsistent to practice in our public schools that which is condemned by Christian teachers in the Sabbath schools of our churches. 4. That these two forms of amusements are excluded from the public schools in other counties of our state. 5. That ministers having children in school are embarrassed. 6. That many Christian people of our churches condemn such amusements as being inconsistent with Christian living. Unanimal Ministerial Union of at ME 1931 Broman May 22, 1931. Rev. John A. Bowman, Secretary Ministerial Union, Waterford, Virginia. My dear Rev. Bowman: Your letter of May eleventh inclosing a resolution addressed to me is acknowledged. I shall much appreciate your kindness if I can have an enumeration of such specific cases of dancing and bridge games at schools as were xbrought to the. attention of your ministerial union. The resolution will be referred to our board at its next meeting. Very sincerely yours, Division Superintendent. OLE-RME
In May 1931, a resolution was passed by the Hamilton community in Loudoun County, Virginia, urging the Superintendent of Public Instruction to eliminate bridge games and dancing from the public schools. The reasoning behind the resolution included concerns about these activities conflicting with Christian teachings promoted by local churches, objections from taxpayers and parents, and the belief that such activities were inconsistent with Christian living. The resolution was also supported by the Ministerial Union of the area, who requested specific cases of these activities at schools. The Superintendent acknowledged the resolution and agreed to bring it before the board for consideration at the next meeting. This exchange reflects the strong influence of religious beliefs and community values on educational practices in the early 20th century.

In 1922, there was a notable debate regarding the location of schooling in Brownsville, with one faction advocating for the continuation of schooling in Brownsville and another pushing for a school to be established at the Odd-Fellows Hall in Hamilton. This conflict resulted in the circulation of two competing petitions, one dated December 22, 1922 from parents in favor of keeping schooling in Brownsville, and another from December 6, 1922 calling for a school to be located at the Odd-Fellows Hall. The Brownsville Petitions of 1922 highlight the importance of education and community involvement in shaping the educational landscape during this time period, demonstrating the passion and dedication of parents and community members in advocating for the best possible educational opportunities for their children in Brownsville.

I have been advised that out of the twenty four children that do not have the transpotation, many of them do not attend school and their excuse is that they get tired of walking. Now with all fairness to the school board I do not think this hardship should be placed upon the children. I am mindful of your last letter in which you stated that the bus carring white children and passed these children going to school, you had requested the driver to pick up these children but he had refused to do SO. The only way I see to remedy this condition is to supply these child- ren with a bus just the same as the white childred, who have a bus. I have discussed with a number of the parents about pro- viding transpotation for the children and I have been in- formed that there were no parents in that area that had sufficient transpotation facilities. Since that does not seem to be any solution to the problem, my only concern is that the school board make suffidient provisions for these children in as much as we do have the dual system of the school. It is the duty of the school board to provide equal facilities for the school children and it is the school board's duty to provide equal transpotation. I hope these conditions can be remedied without any unnecessary actions on the part of the parents to force their equal educational facilities. No. 2 Mr. 0. L. Emerick You have received a letter from a number of the parents in Middleburg complaining of the crowded condition at Grant School. As they stated to you, there were two rooms of which ninty-six children had to be cared for by two teachers. Under these conditions, there is no way that these children can get adquate training. This condition should not exist and there is not any reason for such condition because there is ample space to en- large the school building. As attorney for these parents, I am requesting that this condition be remedied. It is not our intention to re- quest anything that is not reasonable for the benefit of these children. We are only asking that you would do your duty and that you will provide an adquate building and sufficient teachers to teach the pupils that are en- rolled in the school so that they will not become so discouraged that they will leave school at an early age.

Dear Mr. Emerick: Replying to your letter dated November 21, 1944, with re- ference to the school situation in Loudoun County among the colored children, especially in St. Louis. Replying to the first paragraph of your letter, I do not quite understand the statement that if my clients at Middlesburg are disposed to make a disposition of the matter of an addition to the present building, it will probably postpond for many years the erection of the new building. If you have something definitely in mind as to the erection of a school building--that is in the very near future--that will meet the approval of the parents in that area, but if you have in mind some build- ing to be erected after the war is over, then I think the solution to that is to erect some temporary build- ing SO as to give adequate accommodation for those child- ren, who do not have such school building. It is not my desire nor the desire of the parents in the community to resort to court actions in order to have, the necessary school facilities. It is always more agreeable to us to do our duty without having to be forced through court. If we have to resort to court actions it would mean a more expensive undertaking. Your statement that my threating to have court actions in order to get the necessary facilities was not my intention. However, if you feel that that is the only way by which we can get equal school facilities in the county, then that is the only avenue opened to me.

James H. Raby, an attorney based in Alexandria, Virginia, wrote two letters in late 1944 to Mr. O. L. Emerick, the Division Superintendent of the Loudoun County School Board, regarding the lack of transportation and overcrowded conditions in schools for African American children in Loudoun County. Raby expressed concern that many children did not attend school due to lack of transportation and urged the school board to provide equal facilities for African American students as they did for white students. He also requested immediate action to address overcrowding at Grant School in Middleburg. Raby emphasized the importance of equal educational opportunities and urged the school board to make necessary provisions without resorting to legal action. These letters reveal the challenges faced by African American students during the era of segregated education in Virginia.

Dear Mr. . Emerick: I have received your correspondence as of Feb. 9, 1945 thanking me for the names of the official committee. However, my organization and I anticipated not only a recognition of the names of the official committee but also the date and hour of our meeting to transact the required purchase of lot. Inasmuch as you have failed in the latter, my organization and I will appreciate your specifying the date and hour of such a meeting and subsequently informing me of the date and hour at the earliest possible time. This is imperative so that I might have sufficient time to notify all members of the committee. Thanks in advance for this courtesy. Sincerely yours, PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION AND COMMUNITY LEAGUE Mrs. Mildred Jackson, President, February 13, 1945 Mrs. Mildred Jackson, Pres. Parent-Teacher Association and Community League Middleburg, Virginia Dear Mrs. Jackson: I have your letter of recent date in reference to setting the date and hour of meeting to discusstthe transaction required to purchase a lot at Middleburg. I shall try to see Dr. Edmead at an early date and discuss with him the problems that are en- volved in purchasing this lot. I understand that he is the chairman of your committee. There is not much we can do about purchasing a lot at a meeting of the committee until and unless we have some definite sites in mind. I think that it was explained in the presence of the committee at the School Board Meeting that we should have five acres of land. I have been waiting on this matter to give Dr. Booth and the committee some time in which to make some inquiry as to the poss- ibility for a lot. Very sincerely yours, 0. L. Emerick Division Superintendent OLE:MA
This correspondence sheds light on the collaborative efforts of the Parent-Teacher Association and Community League in Middleburg, Virginia in 1945. Led by Mrs. Mildred Jackson, the organization sought to purchase a lot for the community. The letter from Superintendent O. L. Emerick indicates a delay in setting a meeting to discuss the transaction due to the need for specific site options. The negotiation process involved communication with Dr. Edmead, the committee chair, to explore potential locations. The emphasis on acquiring five acres of land highlights the practical considerations involved in securing a suitable lot for the community. This exchange underscores the careful planning and coordination required for such civic initiatives during this period.

The members only assembled when called upon to do so (Superintendent of Schools, Loudoun County, 1894, p. See relevant annual reports). 1915: According to the newspaper accounts, the first regular meeting of the Broad Run District Teachers' Association was held at McGraw's Ridge School house (for white children) on Saturday, Nov 6, 1915, with 15 of the 19 teachers present.

The Broad Run School District, established in September 25, 2014, had deep roots in the history of the county, with schools like McGraw Hill and the Conklin Colored School falling under its jurisdiction. The district had a significant population of both white and African-American students in 1905, with detailed census information available to historians. Various officials and trustees served the district over the years, with key figures like Philip J. Coleman and Arthur Lewis Mankin playing important roles. Meetings of the Broad Run School District were sporadic in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with regular gatherings not established until later years. The district's history is a valuable insight into educational practices and racial segregation in the area during that time period.

This text, dated May 11, 1931, reflects a resolution from the Ministerial Union of Loudoun County to the Superintendent of Public Instruction regarding the exclusion of bridge games and dancing from graded and high schools. The resolution emphasizes the importance of spiritual welfare and Christian values, arguing that such forms of amusement should not conflict with teachings from local Sabbath schools. The union cites concerns about taxpayer objections, parental discomfort, inconsistency with Christian teachings, and embarrassment for ministers and Christian families regarding these activities in schools. The Superintendent’s response requests specific examples of these amusements occurring in schools for further consideration by the board. This exchange sheds light on the cultural and religious values of the time, highlighting the influence of Christian beliefs on education policies in Loudoun County.

Volume 3 of A History of Conklin Village A History of Conklin Village, Loudoun County Volume Three Christine Allen At Armstrong Technical High School BY LARRY ROEDER, MS Comments and corrections are welcome. Email Larry Roeder at admin@artbyroeder.com Note: very likely more information will emerge over time, even after the volume is printed. Our intent is to add the additional information to the on-line version. This study is copyrighted by Larry Roeder, MS, July 11, 2014. On-line versions of each volume are available in PDF format at the Conklin Village Project, http://conklinproject.wordpress.com/ Printed copies will be sold on amazon.com. Edit Date Monday, May 26, 2014 1 Volume 3 of A History of Conklin Village About Volume 3: Christine Allen is discussed at length in A History of Conklin Village, Loudoun County, Volume One: A Basic History. An important member of the Allen family, Christine was both a school teacher at various colored schools and a student at Armstrong Technical High School in Washington, DC, as well as a secretary of the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin. We hope to more fully explore Christine's experiences at Armstrong and in Conklin in later editions. For now, this volume (edition one) contains a copy of her lesson book from Armstrong from 1927 in Part One and a book of signatures from 1927-1929 in Part Two. Hopefully, descendants of some of her classmates at Armstrong will also help us flesh out a clearer understanding of her experiences. The original records are in the Archives of the Prosperity Baptist Church. Researchers wishing to see them are invited to write to the Archives at 42962 Braddock Rd Chantilly, VA 20152. For questions on this Volume, please write to admin@artbyroeder.com About Language: Racial terminology is a very sensitive topic. When I worked with native-Americans, I came to realize that some tribal members called themselves: Indians, Native-Americans or by their tribe, e.g. Navajo. When talking to Bedouins in Egypt, they preferred Bedouin or al-'Arab, not Egyptian. When racial terms like African-American, Black, Negro, Colored, Mulatto, etc are used in the volumes in this series, they should be seen in the context of the source document or interviewee. After a discussion with Pastor Lawson of Prosperity Baptist Church, it was agreed that I would use the term African- American when speaking in my voice of people descendant from African slaves; however, census and county records would in the past often refer to people as colored, Negro or mulatto. Contemporary interviewees might say Black or colored. In those instances, I use the term proposed by the source. No term is universally used by the 2 Volume 3 of A History of Conklin Village world, and some will be offended by one or another term. It is our hope that the readers will understand that we are trying to honor people and never offend. We welcome other suggestions.

The tract currently has approximately 15 acres of active farmland, 10 acres of abandoned farmland with successional species regrowth and the remaining acreage, exclusive of the Gas Station site, in native grass meadows. The track is bisected by a perennial stream that flows from the northwest to the southeast draining the gently sloping farmland that lies to the northeast and successional woodlands to the southwest. The tract contains no impermeable surfaces with a small area of graded gravel surrounding the Gas Station building. Secondary Resource Description (Briefly describe any other structures (or archaeological sites) that may contribute to the significance of the property: The thirty-acre tract containing the Gas Station site has no other structures.

The text is a petition from the residents of Loudoun County, Virginia, requesting a bus to transport children to Aldie School due to the closure of their one-room school. The petition includes the names of the residents living in the area, highlighting the struggle faced by children to attend school. The Gilbert's Corner Gas Station, mentioned in the text, was part of a thirty-acre tract used for crop and grazing land since the early 1800s. The gas station, built in 1927, catered to the increasing automobile traffic on State Routes 50 and 15, typical of gas stations from that era. The site, now abandoned, is part of the "Battle of Aldie" National Park Service Civil War Battlefield Study Area, along with nearby historic properties like the Aldie Mill and Mt.

This text, likely a letter written in 1931, demonstrates the racial segregation present in many school systems during this time period. The author, upset by the idea of African American students using school facilities, expresses their disapproval to the school board. The language used in the text reflects the racist attitudes prevalent in society at that time, with the author referring to African American students as "colored." This document provides insight into the struggles faced by minority groups in seeking equal access to education and the resistance they encountered from those in positions of power. It serves as a reminder of the systemic discrimination that was entrenched in educational institutions well into the 20th century.

SOUDER, Lovettsville RUTH M. EMERICK, Clerk COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD OF LOUDOUN COUNTY PURCELLVILLE, VA. April 25, 1923. Mr. W. W. Pugh, Sterling, Va. My dear Mr. Pugh: I regret that I could not reply to your letter by Tuesday night of this week but I have been out of the office since Saturday on other work. The deci sion to close Coleman's school this year was made because up to the time of that meeting the attendance of the school had been less than ton and the school board had no legal right to run a school with so small a number. If there is prospect of a better attendance next year it would be well, perhaps, to have a petition about as the one inclosed signed by patrons and sent to the to be presented to the board or sent to Mr. Norman to present. I asked the board to provide funds for Coleman's school for next year so that it could be run if there were enough children. The board pro- vided the funds in its budget. I desire very much that every child have a good chance to get aneducation and I have been fighting and uphill fight to endeavor to see to it that the children of the one-room schools have a more nearly equal chance with the children attending larger school by advocating for one-room schools longer terms or the same term for all, supervi si on or some one to serv about as a principal of a larger school serves so as to be able to help the one-room teachers and through them the children, and for an equality of salary, so far as the size of kind of school is con- cerned. It sometimes seems to me that I am fighting alone. We have a number of schools about like Coleman's in size. They are a big problem. A teacher can handle well thirty children daily but when we operate schools for tan ch il - dren daily this makes the cost for each child about three times as great. I wish to assure you that I shall be very much pleased if there can be found enough children to justify running your school. very sin carly your oh. Emerich To The County School Board of Loudoun: We, , the undersigned parents, promise to send to the Coleman's school if operated in 1923-24 the children whose names and ages we gi ve and to send them as regularly as we can, and we do hereby request the County School Board to open and run the said school in 1923-24.

In a letter dated April 25, 1923, E. L. Norman, along with other members of the County School Board of Loudoun County, engaged in correspondence regarding the decision to close Coleman's school due to low attendance. Norman expressed his commitment to providing all children with equal educational opportunities, advocating for longer terms in one-room schools and equal salaries for teachers. He acknowledged the challenges posed by small schools, pointing out the higher cost per child in such settings. The letter also included a petition signed by parents pledging to send their children to Coleman's school if it were to be reopened, highlighting the community's support for the school. This communication sheds light on the educational challenges and efforts to address them in Loudoun County during the early 20th century.

Shumate, for Schools Closing July 31, 1888 in 3.3 Annual School Reports (1887/88 to 1892/93 1906/07 to 1917/18). Had a piano in 1938/ 11 See 9.2 (1939/40) A Survey of Loudoun County Public Schools.

The text is a letter filled with historical information regarding the Sterling area in Virginia, specifically focusing on old school records and buildings from the early 20th century. The Edwin Washington Project offers assistance in the form of research and preservation of academic records from schools like Guilford, Sterling, and Sterling Old, providing specific details such as structure materials, district availability, and available records. The letter mentions the prohibition of sharing qualitative information due to state law, but encourages donations for their non-profit organization dedicated to historical research. References to historical reports, property sales, and insurance analyses from the 1940s provide a glimpse into the conditions of the schools and their significance in the community during that time. Overall, the text serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and analyzing educational history for future generations.

Leesburg, Virginia November 29, 1944 To Members of the County School Board: At your next meeting you will need to decide two important questions in relation the Unison-Bloomfield school. 1. Will the school continue temporarily in the church or will pupils be taken this year to other schools? 2. will a new building be erected or will children be permanently trans- ported to other schools? I wish very definitely to be on record as recommending that you arrange permanently to transfer these children to other schools, namely Bluemont, Middleburg, Round Hill and Upperville. If this should prove to be a mistake it could be corrected in 5, 10 or 20 years without financial loss. On the other hand, should you decide to build and this should prove itself to be a mistake it is likely to be a $100,000 mistake. There is no question of consolidation, or not, here. We already have blakeley Grove, Bloomfield, Leithton and Unison Schools consolidated into one unit. It is proposed and seems necessary if we are to have a four teacher unit (which is generally accepted as the minimum school that should be set up) that the areas of the Mountain, Trappe, Philomont and Mountville schools be included. But four of these eight units are definitely closer or more accessible to other schools and two others, Trappe and Leithton, are almost as close to other schools. At your meeting on December 12 I hope to have worked out and set up the best transportation scheme that I can devise for each of the proposals. Page 2 It seems absolutely necessary to provide one more bus with the school than with out it. Actually the bus miles (one way from the time the first child is picked up) in each case are: 3 busses to Unison-Bloomfield and 1 each to Bluemont and Round Hill 43.80 miles 1 bus each to upperville, Middleburg, Bluemont and Round Hill 35.25 miles (In each set up 2 busses go on to Lincoln High School but mileage from Bluemont and Round Hill is not included above.) I am giving on a separate sheet the enrollment at five year periods of the former schools involved here beginning in 1917, which is the beginning of our permanent records, and the enrollment this year. The estimate cost of a 4- teacher school unit and other financial factors are: Cost of building $60,000. Interest on loan to build $45,000 at 2 % for 15 yrs. 13,500. Furniture and Fixtures not required if chil- dren are transported to other schools. 1,500. Additional operating cost for fuel, repairs, etc. (30 yrs) 30,000. Additional Transportation cost (30 yrs) 15,000. 120,000. Even if we assume that the transportation cost will be the same in each case, there is definite evidence that this School would add in 30 years $100,000 to the expenditures if operated as compared with the painplan to eliminate the school. I have not charged back tuition in Fauquier County because it should not cost us more for a teacher and other items in Fau - quier than in Loudoun. Also we have some Fauquier children in our schools. While we are considerang the possibility of a building that would cost building, equipment, and interest a total of $75,000. it is well that we take a preview of building needs in this County. 1. Douglass High School enrolls 150 pupil, has seven teachers, has 4 rooms, a small library room, small office and shop. One class room is a science laboratory, another is a home economics kitchen. They need 4 rooms. Cost $40,000. Page 3 2. Sterling needs and should have a four-room elementary school with small auditorium. The pupils are there nearby. Cost $60,000. 3. Aldie High School needs a minimum of three class-rooms (library, labora- tory, and one class-room). Cost $30,000. 4. Leesburg School needs at least two addtionAl classrooms. Cost $20,000. 5. Lovettsville needs library and home economics space. Cost $20,000. 6. Lincoln High Pehool needs one more room. Cost $10,000. 7. We have housed most of our white school children in reasonbly comfortable Buildings, with central heating plants, drinking fountains, all indoor to toilets, etc. Nearly all colored elementary school children are housed in comparatively poor buildings. In the course of the next four years the school board will either make plans for improvements in the housing of colored children voluntarily or can expect to be required to do so by court action. Very clearly there has been discrimination here. There is indicated to me the need for two consolidated elementary schools for colored children. A. A seven-room elementary school to care for Willisville, St. Louis, Middleburg and Marble Guarry. Cost $85,000. B. A seven-room elementary school at Purcellville to care for Hughesville, Lincoln, Hamilton, Hillsboro, Powell's Grove and Purcellville. $85,000. In order to put our transportation system on a more satisfactory basis we should have our own garage and employ our own mechanic. This would insure keeping our busses in better condition and also give us a checkoon the care each driver gives his bus. The parts used would cost us much less than now. We could also buy gasoline at tank prices at the school or schools where garage is located. (Leesburg now has 9 busses coming here) There will also be a need for warehouse or storage room. At present we are using space in the Purcellville school that will undoubtedly be required for their use in the near future.
This text, a letter addressed to the County School Board in Leesburg, Virginia on November 29, 1944, presents a detailed proposal and recommendation regarding the Unison-Bloomfield school. The letter addresses the issue of whether to continue temporary use of a church as a school or transport students to other schools permanently. It emphasizes the financial implications of building a new school versus transporting students, providing estimated costs and future projections. The letter also highlights the need for improvements in housing for colored school children, pointing out the existing disparities in school infrastructure. It suggests the consolidation of elementary schools for colored children in order to address the issue of discrimination and improve educational facilities. Additionally, the letter recommends establishing a school garage to improve the maintenance of school buses and reduce costs. Overall, the text reflects the challenges and priorities faced by the School Board in shaping the education system in Loudoun County during this period.

In this letter dated from the Loudoun County School Board in Leesburg, Virginia, the members express their strong opposition to the proposed closure of Arlington School and the transfer of students to Lovettsville. They highlight the socioeconomic status of the students at Arlington, noting that many come from families without means and would face disadvantages if forced to attend a different school. The Board also emphasizes the community connection to Arlington School and the potential loss of school consciousness if it were to close. They argue that the current attendance justifies keeping the school open, as closing it would require hiring an additional teacher at Lovettsville, resulting in added expenses for the County. The letter includes a list of patrons and residents of Arlington School who also petition against its closure, showing a united front in support of the school.

In 1922, a significant debate emerged surrounding the potential relocation of schooling from Brownsville to the Odd-Fellows Hall in Hamilton. This decision prompted the creation of two conflicting petitions, one dated December 22, 1922, initiated by parents advocating for the continuation of schooling at Brownsville, and another dated December 6, 1922, urging for a school to be established at the Odd-Fellows Hall in Hamilton. These petitions highlight the community's strong sentiments regarding the location of educational facilities and the importance placed on accessible schooling for the children of Brownsville. The petitions offer valuable insights into the local dynamics and priorities of the time, shedding light on the significance of education in the community during the early 20th century.

MOUNTVILLE, VA., March 17, 1930. TO THE SCHOOL BOARD OF LOUDOUN COUNTY: We, the citizons of Mountville, hereby petition the School Board of Loudoun County to build us a new two-room school house. We pledge our support in co-operating with the Board to this end. The present one-room building, as our superintendant knows, is not fit to be used as a school room and does not meet the needs of this community. Our average of forty pupils requires two teachers. We have every reason to believe that this school will rapidly grow and consider it urgent to have your co-operation in the building of a new two-room school here.

Our present one-room structure, as our Supervisor and Superintendent know, is not suitable to accommodate the children of this Community. Our maximum enrollment is 47 pupils, with an average attendance for this month, of 34 - grades running from one to seven. The present building is a relic of by-gone days, dirty, poorly lighted, leaky, in no way fire-proof or wind-proof and absolutely not equipped to work for the best interests of the children. We thoroughly appreciate the assistance you gave us this term, when we asked for a second teacher and another room, and the whole Community is very much pleased with the progress the children have made under the present arrangement, and we feel that it will be impossible to go on another year with only one teacher. The citizens of this Community are showing tremendous interest in getting a new school building for this Community. We have organized a Community League, holding meetings every Tuesday night, and will work untireingly to this end. We further petition the School Board to maintain our two teachers for the coming term. This is the most important factor, even with the present equipment. SIGNED Rd Neempolary H Mlerouch.

In 1945, the Parent-Teacher Association (P.T.A.) of Grant School in Middleburg, Virginia, under the leadership of Mrs. Mildred Jackson, President, voiced their concerns to Mr. O. L. Emerick, Superintendent of Schools in Loudoun County. The letter, signed by various community members, rejected a resolution passed by the Board of Education to appoint an additional teacher at the Colored School and rent a room for classroom space. The P.T.A. argued that the committee representing them at the Board Meeting was not valid, and the resolution lacked specificity and financial backing for building construction. They requested a new, adequate school building to replace the outdated Grant School, pointing out its hazardous conditions and lack of basic facilities. The letter appealed to the importance of education and advocated for proper resources to inspire higher standards in the community's children.

This text appears to be a letter from parents in London in 1924, in which they are agreeing to send their children to the Bears School for the 1924-25 session. The letter includes the names and ages of the children, as well as the names of the parents. The document indicates that there were 28 children who had "moved away" and were no longer attending school, making it difficult to account for them. The parents seem to express their willingness to send their children to school and provide their consent for their attendance. This letter provides insight into the educational practices and concerns of parents in London during the early 20th century.

At a meeting of the citizens of Waterford, Va. and community, on March 13, 1930 called for the purpose of discussing the proposed changes contemplated being made in our schools of Loudoun County, after receiving a copy of the recommendations from the County Survey Committee, the following Committee was appointed to act in behalf of the Waterford High School as they may deem fit. Rev. John A. Bowman, Talbot E. Pierce, William S. Smoot, Douglas N. Myers, W.I. Mann, James Carr. C.N. Mason, R.E. McCarty, Fredk. Stabler, Immediately after the adjournment of this meeting the above named Committee met and formulated the following appeal to the School Board of Loudoun County, at its meeting to be held on March 18, 1930 in the School Auditorium at Leesburg, Va. (1) We respectfully appeal to you to keep the Waterford High School on the accredited list of high schools. Here is a good school, fully equipped and serving well a rural community, which enjoys none too many advantages. It would be a step backward in education to take away a high school that has been established over twenty years, and deprive the pupils of the advantages they are entitled to have, and for which we pay taxes. Gov. Pollard recently said "Education is the foundation of the whole state, to be exercised for the benefit of all children within its borders." The Waterford High School is not to blame for having under thirty five pupils this year. We now have an excellent Principal and good teachers. We have reasons to know that if allowed to continue as at present, we will have the allotted number of pupils for the school term 1930-31, (2) We suggest a zone system and recommend that children in these zones attend their respective schools. (3) We are opposed to the consolidation of schools, and buss transportation as morally detrimental to the children of any community But in event consolidation of smaller schools is more fully carried out, we urge that the schools at Wheatland, Paeonian Springs and Clarks Gap, be consolidated with the Waterford school: () For the educational benefits of Loudoun and its present and future welfare we are unanimously opposed to the practice of employing an itinerant teacher. Respectfully submitted. Rev. John A. Bowman, W.S. Smoot, ( Committee) W.I. Mann, C.N. Mason, R.E. McCarty, Fredk. Stabler, Talbot E. Pierce, Douglas N. Myers, James Carr.
In March 1930, a meeting of Waterford, Va. citizens convened to discuss proposed changes to Loudoun County schools. A Committee was appointed to advocate for Waterford High School, emphasizing its longstanding history, service to the rural community, and necessity for maintaining educational opportunities for local students. The Committee requested that the school remain on the accredited list, proposed a zone system for student attendance, opposed consolidation of schools and bus transportation, and suggested the consolidation of nearby schools with Waterford. The Committee highlighted the importance of maintaining a stable teaching staff and expressed concern over potential detrimental effects of itinerant teachers. This appeal to the School Board of Loudoun County reflects the local community's dedication to preserving their educational institution and advocating for the best interests of their students.

History of Conklin, Loudoun, Va. Volume 2: Historical Documents. A History of Conklin Village, Loudoun County Volume Two: Historical Documents BY LARRY ROEDER, MS Comments and corrections are welcome. Email Larry Roeder at admin@artbyroeder.com Note: very likely more information will emerge over time, even after the volume is printed. Our intent is to add the additional information to the on-line version. This study is copyrighted by Larry Roeder, MS, June 1, 2014. On-line versions of each volume are available in PDF format at the Conklin Village Project, http://conklinproject.wordpress.com/. Printed copies will be sold on amazon.com. 1 History of Conklin, Loudoun, Va. Volume 2: Historical Documents. Introduction This volume contains computer scans of historical documents of importance to the series on Conklin History from the archives of the Circuit Court of Loudoun County and the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin. Digital copies of all of these records and other files are also stored at the archives of the Prosperity Baptist Church. Chapter II 1. contains copies of registrations for freed slaves that moved to Loudoun County with Hampton Brewer before the Civil War. Those African-Americans and their descendants are the main focus of the Conklin series, though clearly there were many, very interesting "white" people who lived in Conklin as well and whose history deserves to be told in the second edition, which will consolidate all information. The registrations in Section One were essential documents in Virginia before the close of the Civil War, without which freed slaves could be punished. We highly recommend that those interested in slavery and racial discrimination go to the archives of the Circuit Court of Loudoun in Leesburg, Virginia and take a look. Their entire collection has yet to be digitized, so we hope that can be accomplished, not only to help African- Americans better understand their family history; but also so that all Americans can understand this important aspect of slavery and segregation. Chapter II 2. contains copies of interesting church documents and artifacts from the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin. The originals are in the archives and can be seen by making an appointment. One of the more interesting is a letter to Charles Dean from 1893. Chapter 11 3 contains a scanned copy of a handwritten hymn book by the Secretary of Prosperity Baptist Church, Christine Allen. The hand written collection contains 18 hymns and songs, mostly associated with Christmas. We suspect the book was written during the depression when Christina was a student, though there is no date. A school is named on the cover, but age has made it impossible to make out. 2 History of Conklin, Loudoun, Va. Volume 2: Historical Documents. Some pieces are quite famous and were authored by people like Handel and Verdi. One piece, Cockles and Mussels is now the anthem of the City of Dublin and is the story of a beloved prostitute and fish monger who died of fever, not a normal church hymn. Rheuben Rache/was also a popular comic song used by Minstrels and rewritten following World War One with an earthy tone. Another is OL Satin, a part of a famous Negro spiritual. Most are variants of the original text, so I've also included the "official text" when I could find them, and some history. One piece called Washington was a popular patriotic hymn, well known to school children in the 1920s and 30s. In each case, I've tried to provide information on the author and the original words. Chapter II 4 is a scan of a wonderful, small notebook full of handwritten comments on life in Conklin in the 1920's, mostly through unordered financial transactions and personal notes, mainly 1926 to 1928, some as early as 1916. There is some art as well as poetry. I don't know for sure who made the notes, but because of the emphasis on activities of the Lucien Allen family, one of his children or perhaps his wife probably created the notebook. His wife was Mary Dean Allen (1880-1960), who acquired a BS in Education from Hampton Institute and taught at Conklin Colored School before returning to Hampton in 1940. In order to understand its context, the book should also be read in conjunction with volume one in the series. Language Related to Race Racial terminology is a very sensitive topic. When I worked with native-Americans, I came to realize that some tribal members called themselves: Indians, Native-Americans or by their tribe, e.g. Navajo. When talking to Bedouins in Egypt, they preferred Bedouin or al-'Arab, not Egyptian. Racial terms like African-American, Black, Negro, Colored, Mulatto, etc. are used in the volumes in this series and will offend some people; but they should be seen in the context of the source document or interviewee. After a discussion with Pastor Lawson of Prosperity Baptist Church, it was agreed that I would use the term African-American when speaking in my voice of people descendant 3 History of Conklin, Loudoun, Va. Volume 2: Historical Documents. from African slaves; however, census and county records would in the past often refer to people as colored, Negro or mulatto. Contemporary interviewees might say Black or colored. In those instances, I use the term proposed by the source. No term is universally used by the world, so it is our hope that the readers will understand that we are trying to honor people and never offend. We welcome other suggestions.

Contents Introduction 2 Language Related to Race 3 Section One: Slave Registration Files
This text, authored by Larry Roeder in 2014, delves into the history of Conklin Village in Loudoun County, Virginia, focusing on the African-American community and their descendants. The volume contains scans of important historical documents from the Circuit Court of Loudoun County and the Prosperity Baptist Church in Conklin, shedding light on the pre-Civil War era and post-Emancipation period. Roeder emphasizes the significance of these records in understanding slavery and racial discrimination, urging readers to visit the archives in Leesburg for a closer look. Additionally, the text addresses the use of racial terminology and emphasizes respect and sensitivity towards the subject. By providing insights into the lives, experiences, and contributions of both African-American and white individuals in Conklin, this volume aims to preserve and honor the rich history of the community.

In a letter dated June 14, 1933, addressed to Miss Mildred Nokes of Sterling, Virginia, a Division Superintendent discusses the request for the opening of a school at Nokes the following year. Despite the request being presented to the board, no action was taken due to the low attendance numbers from the previous year. With only twelve students in attendance when the law required twenty, the Superintendent expressed regret that a school could not be provided for the children of Nokes. This correspondence sheds light on the challenges faced by education administrators in ensuring access to education for all students, particularly in rural areas with limited resources. The letter reflects the bureaucratic processes involved in making decisions about educational opportunities in the early 20th century.

December 13, 1948. Arcola, Va. The Loudoun County School Board, Leesburg, Virginia. Dear Sirs: We, the Parent Teacher's Association of the Arcola School, wish to request the County School Board to hire another teacher for the Arcola school at the earliest possible date. This teacher will make possible the removal from the second and third of twelve retarded or handicapped students, and ten such students from the fourth and fifth grades. It is proposed by this association that these students be placed under separate supervision because they are definitely retarding the other children in these four grades. For the present school year it is also proposed that this class can be conducted in the hall. This Parent Teacher' Association also requests the County School Board and the Board of Supervisors to authorize the building of an auditorium, a larger kitchen, and a minimum of at least one class room. This school cannot provide a hot lunch for it's students because there is not an adequate kitchen. There is also no place for the students to eat except in the class rooms. There is no provision for indoor exercise. An auditorium could be used for these two purposes besides serving the imperative need that this school has for an auditorium as an assembly. Thanking you for giving this matter the urgent attention it deserves, we remain, Yours very respectfully, Jhelma K. Thompson Iva H. Siegfried Blande Ontchinen mary E. Hemsley Prin Vivian y Cross C Preston Poland Marian J yarger Mrs. Harry D. Picket
This letter, dated December 13, 1948, from the Parent Teacher's Association of the Arcola School in Virginia to the Loudoun County School Board, demonstrates the struggles faced by a rural school in meeting the needs of its students. The request for an additional teacher to address the needs of mentally handicapped students highlights the lack of resources available for special education at the time. The plea for facility upgrades, including an auditorium and larger kitchen, speaks to the inadequate infrastructure of the school. The mention of the inability to provide hot lunches and lack of space for indoor exercise sheds light on the challenges faced by schools in providing a well-rounded educational experience. Overall, this document reflects the broader issues of educational inequality and resource disparities in mid-20th century America.

I was actually in your neck of the wood this morning beofre you called and stopped by to leave a 1940 era photo you might find interesting. I believe the photos are now off the facebook page. if not, let me know. I definitely hope we can develop a healthy relationship with regards to your building. Warm regards, Larry Roeder, Principal Investigator, the Edwin Washington Project Some additional bit of information and a few questions. I have been developing a catalog of the schools with contemporary and historical photos. The 1940 image is one of the historical ones. The catalog has my snaps in it, but it is not intended for the internet. I'd like to keep the images I took for reference purposes; but I'll put a note on them that they can't be shared without permission -- if that's ok with you. I had shared it with a few historian friends of mine, so after you and I spoke i asked them not to share. They are all responsible folks. As for the graveyard, there are five groups I know of that research graves in Loudoun. 1) The graveyard committee at the Balch Library, led by Mary Fishback. I don't think they inform people of the exact location and might be inactive at present. 2) I am also on the Black History Committee of the Friends of the Balch Library and have advised them against identifying the precise location of graveyards, for fear of people damaging tombstones or field stones. 3) Another group is led by pastor Michelle, a transplant African-American pastor with a deep interest in local history. She sponsors Black History events but I can't and would not wish to speak for her. I do suspect that were she aware of your cemetery, she would want to make the location public. She has also spoken of wanting to develop a DNA database that to link the deceased of all Black cemeteries with living folks here and in other counties. I have nothing to do with that exercise and NOT a supporter for a variety of reasons, including the protection of privacy. 4) Recently, I have been approached by people wanting to protect parts of Western Loudoun, especially around Aldie, thinking that the identification of graveyards might slow development. I also spoke recently to the Board of Supervisors in support of protecting your part of Loudoun, meaning Willisville in general. I tend to be on the side of those wanting to slow development, so I'm sympathetic; but I'd never reveal your cemetery without your permission. 5) Relatives of the buried have a right to the cemetery, so I've been led to believe, so I suspect you would not be able to prevent access or photography by them; but I'm an historian and retired Diplomat, not a lawyer. What you told me about white students attending is fascinating. I'll retain that point. If I understand your description of the structure, while we thought it was a one-room school house, it actually had two rooms. Now one room remains as before but the other has been divided up into bedrooms and a kitchen. That's very interesting, as Oscar Emerick, Superintendent at the time, wanted in 1930 to add a room. Did any blackboards survive. Do you know where the latrines and well would have been?

In January 1938, a group of colored teachers in Loudoun County, Virginia, petitioned the Loudoun County School Board to increase their salaries and provide a nine-month school term for all schools in the county. The petition also requested the full restoration of salary cuts that had been imposed during the Depression years of 1929-1931. The petition was signed by a number of teachers, including Archie H. Lucas, Mary E.R. Waters, and Chas. H. Willis. This document provides valuable insight into the challenges faced by African American educators in the segregated school system of the time, highlighting their fight for equal pay and better working conditions. It serves as a testament to the persistence and determination of teachers advocating for fair treatment and opportunities in education.

Jackson middle burg Va Loudoun County School Board, Leesburg, Va. Honorable Sirs: It having been brought to our attention that you contemplate closing the Arlington School and transporting the pupils to Lovettsville for the next term, we wish to go on record as unequivocally opposing such a change and as most respectfully requesting that this school be kept open. There are many reasons why we feel this school should remain open. We will not enumerate any of those that would apply with equal force to every community where schools have been or will be closed, but we do wish to call attention to a few reasons that apply especially to Arlington School,- A large part of the patrons of this school are people without means. They are unable to clothe their children and furnish lunches in the same manner that town children enjoy, They are at home and in the majority at Ar- lington. They are not forced out of school because they have been laughed at and have had an inferiority complex that may go through life with them forced on them, Another very unfortunate sequence to the closing of this school would be the loss of school consciousness by the entire community. The patrons would not follow the school activities to Lovettsville , where they feel they would not be wanted, Still another item is the fact that our roads are far from being adapted to bus transportation and with an average winter there would be weeks that a bus could not travel, Another item peculiar to this particular school is the fact that the attendance is sufficient to justify its continuance. An enrollment of 35 would mean the em- ployment of another teacher at Lovettsville with an added expense to the County. Many other reasons could be given why we so strong- ly urge you to continue the Arlington School. We do not wish to be tiresome 9 but will appreciate an opportunity of going into detail if the reasons given are not considered sufficient. Very truly yours, THE LOUDOUN COUNTY SHCOOL BOARD: We, the unders igned patrons of Arlington School in Lovettsville District, respectfully petition your Honorable Body to continue the school known as the Arlington School, and not close it and itransport pupils to Lovettsville School, as contemplated.

In September 2017, Larry Roeder, Anthony Archiero, and Henry Plaster explored the site of the former Bluemont Colored School, located deep in a forest near the historic village of Bluemont. The school was originally purchased in 1878 by the Mount Gilead School District from Benjamin F. Young for $5, and was under the control of three white Quaker trustees. The school was also used as a place of worship for the African-American community. The school operated as a one-room frame school until it closed in the 1932/33 academic year, after which students were transported to Rock Hill. The site holds historical significance as it predates public education for African-Americans in Loudoun County, and there are further plans to research the history of the site and the surrounding Black community. It is recommended that the property be preserved and not sold by the Loudoun County Public Schools.

The Edwin Washington Project Petitions Project provides a valuable insight into the educational concerns of African American and white communities in various counties from the early 1900s to the 1950s. By analyzing over 230 petitions, volunteers highlighted the diverse range of issues raised by parents, teachers, and civic groups, including school hours, safety, teacher selection, and school closures. The data revealed that while both African American and white communities faced similar challenges, such as transportation and teacher selection, they also had unique concerns. The project indicates the importance of local schools in rural areas, as demonstrated by the passionate plea to keep the Arlington School open in the face of potential closure. This collection of petitions serves as a valuable record of the grassroots efforts to improve education and address inequalities in schools during this time period.

The EDWIN WASHINGTON PROJECT 26128 Talamore Drive South Riding, Va 20152 LOCATING THE ALMOST BANNEKER SCHOOL Across the street from Macsville. Sign faces west. Report of 11/9/2017 Banneker was created in 1948 to replace the one room school house in the community of Saint Louis, considered a part of Middleburg. By 1946, both the Grant school in Middleburg, which serviced blacks, and the Saint Louis school were overcrowded, as were other "colored" schools, so a debate took place to decide where a modern consolidated graded school might be located. We know of course that Saint Louis won, which is why Banneker is there. It would service children from western Loudoun and as far least as Dover, a community of Aldie along Route 50. Less well known is that there was a movement to place the school in the little community of Maxville, just east of Middleburg on highway 50. This is according to a 1946 petition, signed by many in Middleburg's African-American community (PTA and Community League of Grant School, 1946, Feb 6). Maxville in 2/13/2019 the petition was today's Macsville. The land in question was owned by William "Willie" N. Hall, a popular African-American contractor (Saffer, 2017). The property in question was later known as Hall's Park, held the oldest of the Negro baseball fields. The grounds, today called Mickey Gordon Park for the man who organized and coached the Middleburg Babe Ruth team (initially white in 1956), had been established in the late WELCOME TO MICKIE GORDAN PRCS teens by black builder Will Hall. The park was home to the MEMORIAL PARK 23229 Middleburg Braves. Situated at 23229 Carter's Farm Lane, EBURG, Middleburg, Va 20118. The size of the park is 100 acres. 000808008 OPEN DAWN TO DUSK FOR FIELD STATUS (Scheel, 2003) NO OVERNIGHT PARKING CALI 703-777-0456 About Hall William N Hall was William Nathaniel Hall of Middleburg, a building contractor, who was born March, 1890 and died in Leesburg August 4th, 1958. He was also buried in Solon Cemetery, according to his death certificate. According to the 1940 U.S. census, Hall lived on Marshall Street in Middleburg and had a single year of high school for his education. At the time, he also had a son named William N. Hall the 2nd, aged, then aged 23, so it's possible that the William N Hall mentioned in the petition was the son. The son was born in 1917, had a year of college in 1940 and worked as a stone mason. He then died in 1947. Questions: Why wasn't Macsville chosen? Records on this decision have been lost. When did Mr. Hall donate his hand to the county? Was it as early as 1946, or perhaps in 1947 when his son died. When did the Loudoun County Parks and Recreation take over the plot and name it after Mickie Gordon?

The text provides a detailed insight into the history of the Banneker School, which was established in 1948 to replace the overcrowded one-room schoolhouse in Saint Louis, a community considered part of Middleburg, Virginia. The decision to locate the new school in Saint Louis instead of Maxville, as proposed by the African-American community in Middleburg, remains a point of interest. The land where Banneker School was built was owned by William N. Hall, a prominent African-American contractor who also established the Negro baseball field, later known as Mickey Gordon Park. The timeline of events surrounding the donation of the land to Loudoun County Parks and Recreation and the renaming of the park after Mickie Gordon is also highlighted. The text raises questions about the decision-making process behind choosing the location of the school and the timing of Mr. Hall's donation to the county.

The Edwin Washington Project focused on analyzing over 230 petitions from African American and white communities between the 1900's and 1950's, addressing various issues such as school hours and fire hazards. The top four issues from each set of petitions were graphed, with the remaining issues categorized as Miscellaneous. The project revealed that transportation/safety and teacher selection were major concerns among both African American and white communities, with a higher percentage of white petitions addressing these issues. Specific examples included petitions urging the Board of Education to address safety concerns in school buildings and opposing the closure of certain schools. These petitions shed light on the challenges faced by communities in ensuring quality education for their children and the importance of addressing these concerns through organized grassroots efforts.

In December 1922, there were competing petitions regarding the location of a school in Brownsville or at the Odd Fellows Hall in Hamilton. One petition signed by Walter Murray and others preferred to have the school continued at Brownsville, while another petition signed by Margaret Smith and others advocated for a school at the Odd Fellows Hall in Hamilton. These petitions reflect the complexities of race and education in the early 20th century, as African American communities navigated issues of access to education and resources. The signatures and names attached to these petitions provide a glimpse into the individuals involved in this debate, highlighting their concerns and priorities. The multiple petitions and differing preferences also suggest tensions and differing visions within the African American community regarding the best location for education.

In the early 1920s, the County School Board made decisions regarding the operation and closure of various schools in the area, based on factors such as attendance rates and legal requirements. The Hughesville School faced multiple challenges, with its closure being proposed in 1926 but later requested to be reopened by parents and patrons in 1927 and 1928 due to the number of children who wanted to attend. Similarly, petitions were submitted by patrons of the Bull Run school requesting additional rooms to accommodate the overcrowded conditions, while the citizens of Paeonian Springs advocated for a school to be built for their children instead of having to send them to Waterford. The Brownsville community also saw differing opinions, with competing petitions in 1922 regarding the preferred location for the school. These historical documents provide valuable insights into the educational landscape and community dynamics in Loudoun County during this time period.

HERBERT HOWARD. LEESBURG MRS. EMILE N. WINDLE, RURAL SUPERVISOR AUGUSTUS ZEREGA. ALDIE WM. T. SMITH. LINCOLN. CHAIRMAN Miss RUTH EMERICK. CLERK LEESBURG, VIRGINIA file February 13, 1936. Sel Bd Under separate cover I am mailing to you the school budget for 1936-37. This budget has had the unanimous approval of the school board. In addition to the classified summary which has been sent to you heretofore we have incorporated a great deal of detailed in- formation relating to our schools and school finances. We hope you will be glad to have this. It would be a genuine pleasure to me and all of the members of the school board if WO could find a way to operate the schools satisfactorily at the same or less cost. We consider it very important, however, that more money be appropriated for the schools. By examination of the budget you will find that we are requesting $115,000 local appropriation for next year as compared with $93,000 received this year. An explanation of this increase will be found on page 5 of the budget. The controllable items effecting these increases are: Salary Clerk of Board Increase 60.00 11 Salaries of Teachers 12,670.00 If Building at Ashburn 3,000.00 Building at Purcellville (net) 11 4,000.00 (Two-thirds Borrowed) Total 19,730.00 I hope a brief discussion of these items will not be thought out of order. Salary Clerk of Board This salary will be found to be still somewhat less than that for similar positions in the county office building. COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD OF LOUDOUN COUNTY E.L.

WINDLE, RURAL SUPERVISOR AUGUSTUS ZEREGA, ALDIE WM. T. SMITH, LINCOLN. CHAIRMAN Miss RUTH EMERICK. CLERK LEESBURG, VIRGINIA Page 2 Sclaries of Teachers The salary schedule, the range of salaries, and the actual salaries of all teachers are shown in the budget. This will show you that after four years in high school, four years in college and seven or more years of successful ex- perience the most a teacher can earn, if not a principal, is $75.00 per month. There are also shown two very signi- ficant facts. The average salary in our very fine and prosperious county is less than the Virginia average and the per pupil cost of education is about the same as the state average. The supply of qualified teachers has been reduced so rapidly in the last year that we were unable to locate a teacher for a Latin position in Ashburn and we found it necessary to make two transfers and one new appointment in order to fill this vacancy. Extreme difficulty was exper- ienced last summer and fall to fill all colored school posi- tions. Building at Ashburn This school has three high school teachers and only two rooms besides a laboratory in which to carry on the regular class work. These rooms are small and the enrollment has increased, If this school is to function as an accredited high school and meet state requirements more space is imperative. Building at Purcellville Under the plan of a building program this auditorium would have been built in 1931 but for the 1930 drouth and depression. The school is almost as large as any except Leesburg, having six teachers and 176 pupils. Purcellville is the second town in the county in size and has no publicly owned meeting place of any kind. The county now has auditoriums at the following schools: Aldie, Ashburn, Bluemont, Hillsboro, Leesburg, Lincoln, Lovettsville, Lucketts, Middleburg, Round Hill and Waterford. Hamilton has a combination arrangement made from two large class-rooms. This county has about 150 class-rooms and the above auditoriums, worth about one-half million dollars. If the average class-room should last fifty years, replacement would require three class-rooms each year, as an average. And how much better it would be if we could care for a little of the needed building each year rather than do a great deal in one year! to COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD OF LOUDOUN COUNTY E.L. NORMAN.

If the Lovettsville high school is to maintain its proper service some consolidation of nearby schools is important. Two rooms at a cost of around $8,000 will be needed. The Leesburg school is crowded and is now using three rather unsuitable base- ment rooms for regular school work. There is now or soon will be needed here four additional rooms. The colored schools need some buildings. Hamilton in Jefferson and Purcellville in Mount Gilead are using rented space and our experiences at Purcellville are far from satisfactory. Middleburg and Saint Louis colored schools are crowded. I shall be glad to make any explanation of any of the budget items at your request and I hope we can talk it over at any early date. Very sincerely yours, Division Superintendent. OLE-RME

Additional information has been received from the Highway Department in regard to these signs and their use. A copy of the Department's instructions to District and Resident Engineers is enclosed in order that you may be more fully informed as to how they are to be obtained and the responsibilities resting upon local school boards and the Highway Department. The signs needed will be furnished by the Highway Department at no cost to all school divisions for use at schools not located in cities or in towns having a population of more than 3,500. Cities and towns (population over 3,500) may obtain the portable type signs from the Highway Department at an estimated cost of $15.00 each. In the interest of uniformity, it is recommended that all signs be obtained from the Highway Department. If special blinking type signs are desired for any school or schools, the cost of the lights, their installation, and the current used in their opera- tion must be borne by the school board. The requirements for these signs are rather rigid, and permission to erect them must be obtained from the Highway Department. That Department will furnish the signs, properly drilled for the lights. Other information about types of signs and estimated costs is also available from your local resident engineer of the Highway Department. RLW:sdj
In June 1958, the Commonwealth of Virginia State Board of Education issued several memorandums to Division Superintendents regarding various matters related to public education. These included the appointment of Mr. Archer L. Yeatts, Jr. as the Assistant Supervisor of Vocational Agriculture, following the retirement of Mr. T. V. Downing after 30 years of service. The distribution of State Sick Leave Funds for teachers was also addressed, with insufficient funds resulting in prorated reimbursements for the 1957-58 school year. Another memo provided information on the national trends in teacher supply and demand, while a separate memo outlined the submission process for the Annual School Reports. Additionally, details were given regarding the requirements for school zone signs as mandated by a new law enacted by the 1958 General Assembly, including instructions for obtaining and installing the signs through collaboration with the Highway Department.

In January 1938, a group of colored teachers in Loudoun County, Virginia submitted a petition to the Loudoun County School Board requesting an increase in salaries and a nine-month school term for all schools in the county. They also asked for the full restoration of salary cuts that had been imposed during the Great Depression years of 1929-1931. The names of the teachers who signed the petition are listed, including Archie H. Lucas, Mary E. R. Waters, and Charles H. Willis. This document sheds light on the struggle for equal pay and better working conditions for colored teachers in Loudoun County during the late 1930s. The petition is a valuable historical record of the challenges faced by African American educators in segregated school systems.

In the early 20th century, the history of segregated schooling in Loudoun County is revealed through official school board records as well as petitions from parents and patrons of schools like Hughesville, Bull Run, and Paeonian Springs. In 1924, the County School Board voted to operate Hughesville, only to close it two years later in 1926 due to not meeting legal average standards. However, the community continued to advocate for the reopening of Hughesville, as evidenced by petitions in 1927 and 1928 showing significant interest in the education of African American children in the area. The petitions from Bull Run also show efforts to address overcrowding and expand educational facilities for African American students in the county. The struggle for adequate and accessible education for all children, regardless of race, is a key theme in the historical record of Loudoun County in the early 20th century.

Edwin Washington Project Petitions Project volunteers read, transcribed and analyzed over 230 petitions from parents (patrons) teachers, civic groups and other stakeholders from dozens of African American and white communities around the county. Petitions dated from as early as the 1900's to the 1950's and addressed issues or requested redress of problems ranging from school hours to fire hazard(s). Since graphing every individual issue would render the charts below unreadable, we graphed the top four issues from each set of petitions and placed the remaining issues into the Miscellaneous category.

The Edwin Washington Project Petitions project provides valuable insight into the concerns and demands of African American and white communities regarding education in the early to mid-20th century. The volunteers meticulously analyzed over 230 petitions, dating from the 1900s to the 1950s, that addressed a variety of issues such as school hours, safety, and teacher selection. By graphing the top four issues from each set of petitions and categorizing the rest as Miscellaneous, the project organizers were able to highlight the most pressing concerns raised by parents, teachers, and civic groups. The data shows a significant disparity in the types of issues raised by African American and white communities, with transportation and safety being particularly salient for the former and teacher selection and school conditions for the latter. Overall, the project sheds light on the complexities of educational inequalities and community activism during this time period.

In the early 20th century, the operation of schools in Loudoun County, Virginia, was subject to the decisions of the County School Board. In 1924, Hughesville was approved to operate for the academic year, only to be closed in 1926 due to failure to meet legal requirements. However, the community's determination to have the school reopened was evident in 1927 and 1928, with petitions being signed by parents and patrons. The Bull Run community also faced overcrowding and sought additional facilities, as evidenced by multiple petitions. Paeonian Springs residents in 1934 requested a colored school for their children due to the distance from the existing schools. The competing petitions from Brownsville in December 1922 reveal the community's preferences for the location of the school. These historical documents provide insight into the challenges and advocacy efforts surrounding education for colored students in Loudoun County during this period.

In December of 1922, competing petitions were submitted regarding the location of a school in Brownsville or the Odd Fellows Hall in Hamilton. The petition from Brownsville, led by Walter Murray and signed by a total of 15 individuals, expressed a preference for the school to remain in Brownsville. On the other hand, the petition from Hamilton, led by Margaret Smith and signed by 17 individuals, advocated for the school to be relocated to the Odd Fellows Hall. This conflict highlights the tensions and disagreements within the African American community at the time regarding the location of educational facilities. The electronic and physical locations of these petitions, preserved in the historical record, serve as a reminder of the struggles faced by Black communities in securing access to quality education during the early 20th century.

The text provides valuable insight into the educational concerns of African American and white communities in the early to mid-20th century, specifically focusing on school conditions and transportation issues. The Edwin Washington Project volunteers meticulously analyzed over 230 petitions that highlighted a range of issues including fire hazards, teacher selection, and school hours. The petitions were written by parents, teachers, and civic groups, indicating a collective effort to improve the quality of educational facilities and services. The data presented in the form of graphs illustrates the distribution of concerns among different communities, with a higher percentage of white petitions addressing teacher selection compared to African American petitions. The text also includes a specific petition from the Loudoun County School Board requesting the continuation of the Arlington School, showcasing the community's dedication to preserving their local educational institutions.

The EDWIN WASHINGTON PROJECT 26128 Talamore Drive South Riding, Va 20152 LOCATING THE ALMOST BANNEKER SCHOOL Across the street from Macsville. Sign faces west. Report of 11/9/2017 Banneker was created in 1948 to replace the one room school house in the community of Saint Louis, considered a part of Middleburg. By 1946, both the Grant school in Middleburg, which serviced blacks, and the Saint Louis school were overcrowded, as were other "colored" schools, so a debate took place to decide where a modern consolidated graded school might be located. We know of course that Saint Louis won, which is why Banneker is there. It would service children from western Loudoun and as far least as Dover, a community of Aldie along Route 50. Less well known is that there was a movement to place the school in the little community of Maxville, just east of Middleburg on highway 50. This is according to a 1946 petition, signed by many in Middleburg's African-American community (PTA and Community League of Grant School, 1946, Feb 6). Maxville in 2/13/2019 the petition was today's Macsville. The land in question was owned by William "Willie" N. Hall, a popular African-American contractor (Saffer, 2017). The property in question was later known as Hall's Park, held the oldest of the Negro baseball fields. The grounds, today called Mickey Gordon Park for the man who organized and coached the Middleburg Babe Ruth team (initially white in 1956), had been established in the late WELCOME TO MICKIE GORDAN PRCS teens by black builder Will Hall. The park was home to the MEMORIAL PARK 23229 Middleburg Braves. Situated at 23229 Carter's Farm Lane, EBURG, Middleburg, Va 20118. The size of the park is 100 acres. 000808008 OPEN DAWN TO DUSK FOR FIELD STATUS (Scheel, 2003) NO OVERNIGHT PARKING CALI 703-777-0456 About Hall William N Hall was William Nathaniel Hall of Middleburg, a building contractor, who was born March, 1890 and died in Leesburg August 4th, 1958. He was also buried in Solon Cemetery, according to his death certificate. According to the 1940 U.S. census, Hall lived on Marshall Street in Middleburg and had a single year of high school for his education. At the time, he also had a son named William N. Hall the 2nd, aged, then aged 23, so it's possible that the William N Hall mentioned in the petition was the son. The son was born in 1917, had a year of college in 1940 and worked as a stone mason. He then died in 1947. Questions: Why wasn't Macsville chosen? Records on this decision have been lost. When did Mr. Hall donate his hand to the county? Was it as early as 1946, or perhaps in 1947 when his son died. When did the Loudoun County Parks and Recreation take over the plot and name it after Mickie Gordon?

Dear Mr. Emerick: At our regular meeting held on February 4, 1946, your recent letter written to Dr. Edmead, chairman of our building site committe, wasdread. Indeed, it made us more informative than we had been before. Nevertheless, it was rather shocking to us to learn of your definite decision. We had been impressed with the fact, as conveyed by you, that our committee would have been informed voluntarily without having had to write to you. You, of course, evaded this point of the agreement. In addition, at our last gathering at the School Board meeting we had been informed that a plot of land could have been obtained definitely from Mr. William N. Hall at Maxville and that, were we satisfied with this location it would be a foregone conclusion. We definitely agreed to the proposal. Consequently, with your contrary decision and action we are undoubtedly disappointed. We feel certain that you have taken cognizance of the many disadvantages of the selection of a site in St. Louis. At any rate, may be have the pleasure and opportunity to point out, as we see them, some of the many disadvantages of constructing a school in St. Louis rather than in Middleburg:- 1. St. Louis roads are unsatisfactory, and during some winter months they are impassable. 2. The . land selected is swampy and will require extensive drain- age. In short, all landsin St. Louis present this feature. 3. St. Louis lacks all of the conveniences of stores, theatre, and denominational churches, 4.SSt. Louis lacks Negro leadership and Negro wealth. 5. St. Louis will not attract much patronage in case of school functions and activities. 6. In any school neighborhood there should be conducive surround- ings so as to offset the decoy of youngsters. St Louis does not present this qualification. PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION AND COMMUNITY LEAGUE Grant School Middleburg, Virginia February 6, 1946 Mr. 0. L.

The text discusses the history of the Banneker School, which was established in 1948 to replace a one-room schoolhouse for the African-American community of Saint Louis, considered part of Middleburg, Virginia. There was a debate in 1946 about where to locate a modern consolidated graded school to replace overcrowded "colored" schools, with Saint Louis ultimately being chosen. However, there was also a movement to locate the school in Maxville, near Middleburg, but this proposal was rejected. The land in question was owned by William N. Hall, an African-American contractor, who later donated the property to Loudoun County, and it became known as Hall's Park. The park, now known as Mickey Gordon Park, was once home to the Middleburg Braves baseball team. The details of why Macsville was not chosen and when Mr. Hall donated his land remain unclear, as relevant records have been lost.

Memo. on Lincoln Graded School The Lincoln Graded School was built in 1879 or earlier and is 47 or more years old. The building was abandoned in 1909 with the idea of selling same but was remolelei about 5, 6 or 7 years later an.1 has been used continuously since for the elementary school. The lot contains 1/4 acre only whereas 2 acres as a minimu is required forxx a staniari elementary school. The builling is heated by stoves and ventilated through flues wi thout sufficient capacity. There are no interior toilets. (Other defects shown on next two sheets) We are now receiving $300 annual state subsidy for this school as a standard elementary school but a good many defects are being overlooked temporarily by the State officials.
The Lincoln Graded School, built in 1879, has a long history of serving as an elementary school. Despite being over 47 years old, the building was abandoned in 1909 but later renovated for continued use. However, the school faces challenges such as a small lot size of only 1/4 acre when a minimum of 2 acres is required for a standard elementary school. The building relies on stoves for heating and lacks interior toilets, while ventilation through flues is insufficient. Although the school receives a $300 annual state subsidy as a standard elementary school, there are concerns that several defects are being overlooked temporarily by state officials. This memo provides insights into the precarious conditions of the Lincoln Graded School and the need for further attention and improvements.
Says Lincoln elementary/graded school (white) was built 1879, Abandoned in 1909, then repaired about 1916. No interior toilets and the stoves and flues have weak capacity.
