Orange City Colored School

Orange City Colored School is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Orange City Colored School rather than just read about it. In short: Orange City Colored School (1927–1969) was a Rosenwald school from 1st to 8th grade for African American students in Orange City, Florida. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2003, and listed as part of the Florida's Historic Black Public Schools Multiple Property Submission since 2003.

Reference excerpt

Orange City Colored School (1927–1969) was a Rosenwald school from 1st to 8th grade for African American students in Orange City, Florida. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2003, and listed as part of the Florida's Historic Black Public Schools Multiple Property Submission since 2003. The site also contains a historical marker erected in 2016. It was also known as the Marian Coleman Elementary, and the Coleman Head Start Center.

History Starting in the 1880s various buildings had been adapted into classrooms for African American students including the Queen Bess Packing House, and the Odd Fellows Hall. There was an increased population in Orange City, Florida between 1920 and 1930, including African Americans. A small wood-frame building at the corner of Blue Springs Avenue and Volusia Avenue was no longer able to support the local Black communities needs by 1926. Dr. Frances Dickinson donated a 5 acres (2.0 ha) of land for a new school. Early funding for the Orange City Colored School came from the Rosenwald Fund, the State of Florida, and Frances Dickinson. The building was designed by architect Samuel L. Smith, and used a Rosenwald approved floor plan (Floor Plan No. 400). Historically, this school taught Black students from the 1st grade through the 8th grade, however by the late-1930s the Black population decreased and less of the upper grade classes were offered. Teachers at the Orange City Colored School included Marian Coleman, Eva King, Henry J. King, William A. King, Pauline Poole, Turie Thornton Small, T. E. Thornton, Rosa E. Williams, and Louis Young. In the early-1960s, it was renamed Marian Coleman Elementary School in honor of educator Marian L. Coleman (née Young). In 1969, the Orange City Colored School was closed, and the students transported to schools in DeLand, Florida. The following year in 1970, the Orange City Community Interaction Committee leased the building from the Volusia County School Board. The building served various functions for the next decade, including as a community center, a recreation facility, and a church.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Orange City Colored School

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Orange City Colored School claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Orange City Colored School before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Orange City Colored School ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Orange City Colored School

In research: Orange City Colored School appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Orange City Colored School in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Orange City Colored School is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1927 establishments in Florida, 1969 disestablishments in Florida, Buildings and structures completed in 1927, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Orange City Colored School outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
