From 1867 they appear to have been a little better regulated and more efficient. It is said that J. M. Williams was the first superintendent of the school, but the fact is, that Mr. Beals, employed as principal of the high school in September, 1858, was as much of a superintendent of the public schools as Williams. The board always exercised the control and superintended the school until about 1875, and until this year the board and the teachers did not always harmonize. If a teacher expelled a
649
HISTORY OF JOHNSON COUNTY.
pupil, the board would re-instate the unruly pupil, and by so doing weaken the influence of the teachers. The records all along show that the board was continually at war with the teachers, and harmony does not appear until the board surrendered the discipline of the public school to Prof. Guthrie as superintendent, with full power to regulate and control the school in the fullest sense that the office implies. A very complete system of keeping a record of the school was introduced by Prof. Guthrie.
Fune 12, 1870 .- The board, on motion of M. T. Close, passed the fol- lowing resolution:
Resolved, That we believe the school can be conducted the present year without a superintendent.

July 1, 1875 .- Prof. A. A. Guthrie, A. M., was employed as superin- tendent, at a salary of $1,000 for the school year.
Fune 30, 1876 .- Prof. A. A. Guthrie was employed as superintendent for one year, at salary of $1,200 for the school year.
Fune 6, 1877 .- Prof. A. A. Guthrie was employed as superintendent for the ensuing year, at a salary of $1,200 for the school year. June 1, 1878, contracted for three years at a salary of $1,500.
Sept. 4, 1878 .- Prof. A. A. Guthrie was elected secretary of the school board; and he has been been superintendent and secretary since, and has a contract with the board to superintend the schools to the end of the school year of 1884, at a salary of $1,500 per year.

The history of the public schools of Iowa City would hardly be com- plete without a brief sketch of the teachers employed. It is valuable for many reasons, the most important ones being that it gives the public an idea of who the individuals are that are educating the children of our city; where they were educated, and the valuable service they have and are rendering to the public as teachers in the public schools. Many of these teachers have been identified with the public schools of Iowa City for many years, one teacher having taught for eighteen years. The worst thing that can be said of the public schools of Iowa City is that they have poorly arranged school buildings, with miserable facilities for ventilation, and the best thing that can be said is, they have not got a poor teacher in the whole list of twenty-nine persons connected with the schools educating the youth of the city. The present board are taking measures to provide proper buildings with all the modern improvements for public school purposes.

Miss Hughes has done much to build up the high school and give it a reputation for thoroughness. She won distinction in the University for having so thoroughly mastered Latin and mathematics. As a teacher in both branches she has no superior in the state. She is painstaking, and not content with anything less than a complete mastery of the lessons by the student. All the work is kept in perfect order, and the records of the

SCHOOLS AND ACADEMIES.
St. Agatha's Seminary .- Situated on the corner of Jefferson and Dubu- que streets. In April, 1860, there came from Dubuque four Sisters of Charity. They moved into C. Dunkel's house back of St. Mary's Church, and commenced a school in a bulding adjoining, now occupied by Hum- phreys & Moore as a butcher-shop. After a lapse of two years, Father Emonds bought and donated to them the present site, then known as the Park House. Brick building fitted up in good style and neatly arranged. For a time the lower story was quite sufficient for them. Gradually, how- ever, their school increased, so that the second and third stories were fitted up, and, within the last few years, they put on a fourth story for chapel
exercise and exhibition room. They had originally but one lot,-the adjoining half Mr. Patterson sold to Father Emonds. This school is under the charge of the Sisters of Charity of the order of the Blessed Vir- gin Mary. Since its organization some of their forces are employed in a building next to the St. Joseph Institute as a free school; and a few teach a number of children attached to the St. Patrick Church. This is an incorporated school, and called the "Sisters School," under the name of the Saint Agatha's French Seminary. They withdrew from the St. Mary's Church, and are now under the spiritual counsel of Father Smyth of the St. Patrick Church.
St. Joseph's Institute .- Situated on the north side of Jefferson street, between Clinton and Dubuque streets. The people of St. Mary's Church organized this school in 1865. In the present business house of O'Hanlon & Son it was known under the name of St. Joseph school. Even previous. to that time it had a nucleus in the place now occupied by A. Unrath's grocery store and F. Messner's shop. In the latter place some of the prominent men of the State and city graduated under Professor Brown- son. St. Mary's congregation, seeing that the place on the avenue was too small and inconvenient, ordered a committee to sell the site and buy the present premises. It was duly organized and incorporated in 1872, and confers the usual academical degrees. The school buildings and apparatuses are estimated to be worth $30,000.
Iowa City Commercial College-in Market hall, corner Iowa Avenue and Dubuque street. J. T. Craig of Indianapolis, Ind., established this college in September, 1866. Prof. J. Shrock had organized the Spencer- ian Writing Academy, in September, 1865, but consolidated Oct. 2, 1866, with J. T. Craig, and the firm became Craig & Shrock. Shortly after,
