EFFORT TOWARD HIGHER EDUCATION.
One of the great plans of the people of Irving was an institution of higher education, and the Wetmore Institute, a seminary for girls, was built to give the girls of the county the advantages enjoyed by their sisters in the East. Trained and accomplished teachers from Eastern colleges were brought to Irving. As there were but few girls in the county, and those who lived here then scarcely possessed "two calico dresses each," the institute was not over- crowded ; there was plenty of room and fresh air. But boundless admiration imust be bestowed on the men and women of Irving, who, amid the keenest hardship incident to pioneer life, yet gave freely to the cause of higher educa- tion. Three of the early county superintendents were from Irving-W. S. Blackburn, J. L. Chapman and A. Jeffers.
DEER CREEK SCHOOL.
Deer Creek school, which is located five and one-half miles north of Marysville, was approved by Prof. J. A. Shoemaker, state rural school inspec- tor, as a standard rural school, and enjoys the distinction of being the first and only such school in Marshall county.
On Saturday, January 13, 1917, the patrons of the school invited more than one hundred guests to participate in the celebration of the standardization of the school. A splendid musical program was given and Mrs. C. A. Fannen, the sweet singer of Marysville, rendered several solos. A dinner such as the good cooks of Deer creek know how to prepare, was served in the basement of the building. After the dinner, Mrs. A. J. Travelute ( formerly Elizabeth Mohrbacher), who taught the first school in district No. 24, dedicated the new school house and gave an historical address, which was of county-wide
284

interest. Mrs. Travelute said: "Fifty-six years ago there were few evidences of civilization in Marshall county. The sod house, the dugout, and the log houses were few and far between. Education stood on the threshold of Kansas, looking eagerly for the means wherewith to enter the open door of opportunity.
"One of these log houses stood on the bank of Horse Shoe creek, on the southeast corner of a homestead belonging to James Bartlow. During the year this log cabin ivas fitted up for a school house. Lee Holloway, James Bartlow and Thomas Marshall formed the school board of district No. 24. and they employed Elizabeth Mohrbacher, daughter of Jacob Mohrbacher, to teach the school at a salary of thirty-five dollars a month, which was a princely salary in those days. The number of pupils was fifteen.
"District No. 24 then comprised all of Herkimer township, half of Logan and that part of Marysville township which extends to the west of the Blue river.
"Miss Mohrbacher was succeeded by Mary Travelute, Elizabeth Suggett, Anna Tyres, Charles Laycock, and Adda Fitzpatrick. In 1872 district No. 24 was divided into three districts, namely Horse Shoe, Blue Valley and Deer Creek, the latter becoming district No. 58, now the standard school of the county.
"The log school house soon became too small and a frame house was bought from Jeff Watson for one hundred dollars. This served until 1882, when a fine school house was built, which for thirty-four years was the pride of the country side, and which was used for church and all other public functions. The builders were John Truax, Henry Bodenner and Cash Stone. The building, when finished, cost over two thousand dollars.
"In the fall of 1883 the first school was taught in the new building by 1. R. Barbour. Dr. W. F. Boyakin was then county superintendent of instruction. On July 31, 1916, this building was destroyed by fire during an electrical storm. The fine building of today is erected on the old site."
SOME EARLY TEACHERS.
Many of the early teachers of Marshall county taught school in the Deer creek district. Among them were T. G. Butler, Charles Pritchard and C. F. Travelute. Mr. Travelute and his brother's wife, Mrs. A. J. Travelute ( formerly Elizabeth Mohrbacher ) were present at the celebration.
The history of the evolution of Deer creek is but the history of the public schools of the county. As soon as times were casier the first thought
285
MARSHALL COUNTY, 'KANSAS.
was better schools and better teachers. In the years between 1859 and 1870, much of the teaching was done in private homes. In the Catholic settlement the faithful priests gave what instruction they could to the young people and children.
In the German settlements the ministers gave instruction in the catechism and German language. The ministers of all denominations lent a hand in the cause of education.
Rev. J. L. Chapman, Revs. Charles and Luke Holmes and Dr. W. F. Boyakin were all men of exceptional ability and their faith in Kansas was as fixed as the stars that looked down upon her prairies, and her future was as bright as her glorious sunsets. Time has justified their ideals and while they sleep beneath her sod, her children remember them and chronicle their good deeds.
Among the teachers who were prominent in the county were T. C. Randolph, now city clerk of Marysville; Sybil Broughton, who became the wife of C. F. Koester; W. R. Brown, now teaching the fourth generation, near Summerfield; Thomas Hynes, of St. Bridget; Ella Sheridan Acker and William Acker, now of Vermillion: George Heleker and wife; Georgia Patterson Heleker, A. M. Billingsly, Mell Chaffee, Ruth Bigham, the Dunlap sisters and Maggie McDonald, of Waterville, who is still in her chosen profession.
FIRST SCHOOL IN COTTAGE HILL.
Cottage Hill district No. 31 was organized in the winter of 1870-71, with Frank Leach as director ; James Nash, clerk, and Jackson Thomas, treas- urer. Sarah McKelvey taught the first school in the winter following. H. Jones and John Dolen built the school house. The present members of the school board are: Mr. Pischnez, director; E. F. Roepke, clerk, and Henry Webber, treasurer. The new school house was built in 1916 at a cost of three thousand five hundred dollars, including furnace and modern up-to-date furniture ; the basement is cemented and used as a play room, gymnasium and for town meetings. It is twenty-six by thirty-six, with an addition ten by thirty, for hall and work room. It is to be paid for by direct taxation in three years, commencing in 1915.
PUBLIC SCHOOL, MARYSVILLE.
In the year 1861 district No. 4. Marysville. was legally organized, and a small frame building was put up at the northwest corner of Seventh and
286
MARSHALL COUNTY, KANSAS.
Center streets. In 1866 the block on which the school now stands was pur- chased from Mr. and Mrs. Perry Hutchinson and from Samuel Raines for the sum of seventy-eight dollars and forty cents and the stone building, com- monly known as "the old stone building," was erected at a cost of eight thou- sand dollars. This buikling was thirty-five by seventy feet, two stories high, with two rooms on the ground floor and a large assembly room and recitation room on the upper floor.
The assembly and recitation room on the second floor, which was one large room, was also used by the Methodist church and by the Masonic lodge. In this room I. B. Davis and R. Y. Shibley were initiated into the mysteries of Masonry in 1870.
In the year 1880 a brick building was erected, forty by sixty feet, costing twelve thousand dollars, and in 1892 an addition was built on the north of it of exactly the same dimensions. Later a frame building was put up in the second ward, consisting of two rooms in which are taught pupils of the first and second grades, who live in that part of the city. Still later, an out- lying school was built. This did not prove satisfactory and now these pupils living in the outlying portions of the district are taken to and from school in an automobile.
From 1891 to 1902, the modern normal school was held in the old stone building, conducted by John G. Ellenbecker. The stone building in its day was one of the best in this portion of the state ; two hundred and sixty-three graduates left it with diplomas. Some of them have achieved distinction and won places of prominence.
Like all the old landmarks, after it had served its day and generation, it was dismantled to make room for the splendid high school, which now adorns the same site and which gathers within its walls many sons and daugh- ters of parents who obtained their education within the walls of the "okl stone building."
MARYSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL.
The city of Marysville in 1916 completed a high school building at a cost of sixty thousand dollars, which is modern and complete in every detail.
This school offers superior advantages to students as its graduates are admitted to any college or university in the United States, without examina- tion.
One of the strong features is a completely equipped commercial depart- ment, giving thorough business training.
Graduates from the normal course receive a two-years certificate from
287
MARSHALL COUNTY, KANSAS.
the state board of education. All the college preparatory subjects are taught and entrance credits given.
Tuition is free to anyone living in the county who has completed the common school course.
Marysville has one hundred thousand dollars invested in grounds, build- ings and equipment. Nineteen teachers are employed.
The enrollment is as follows: High school, 160; grades, 365; total, 525 ; parochial school, 100; grand total, 625.
Average daily attendance in high school, 155; in grades, 351 ; total, 506. The school has gained thirty-five per cent in enrollment in four years.
BLUE RAPIDS SCHOOLS.
The people of Blue Rapids have always realized the importance of a good school in the development of the city. Blue Rapids was the first town in Marshall county to establish a standard four-year course for its high school. At the present time it is the only school in Marshall county that maintains a department for beginners below the first grade.
The use of two buildings thus separating the grades and the high school, is of distinct advantage to both. The citizens of Blue Rapids were sufficiently far-sighted to provide ample space for playgrounds.
Blue Rapids high school has always been active in county contests, both of an athletic and literary nature. For a number of years her track team has been among the best in the county and her students have taken a number of prizes in oration and declamation.
The high school offers courses in domestic science, agriculture, normal training and commerce, as well as the regular academic courses.
An active parent teacher association, whose membership includes the representative men and women of the town, attest to the interest of the com- munity in the schools. J. H. Houston is the superintendent and, with a splendid corps of teachers, the school is one of the ranking schools of the state.
THE FIRST SCHOOL.
In November, 1861, the first school in the vicinity of Blue Rapids was taught by Lucy A. Palmer in a private dwelling one-half mile west of the present town. There were twenty-five pupils in the school. The teachers fol- lowing were: Emma Thompson, Rev. P. Duncan, Harriet Whitmore, Emma Cooley. A. Smith and Rev. Charles Holmes.
288
MARSHALL COUNTY, KANSAS.
The first school taught in Blue Rapids was in the old Colonial hall and Rev. Charles Holmes was the teacher, in the summer of 1870. He was suc- ceeded the following year by Charles Palmer. . \. Griffin and C. M. Bridges succeeded Palmer.
Blue Rapids district No. 3 was organized and in . 1873 a two-story brick building thirty by fifty feet, was erected at a cost of eight thousand dollars.
C. M. Brydges, who was the first teacher in the new building, was suc- ceeded by E. Philbrock, W. B. Dimon, H. H. Halleck and J. W. Quay. Owing to the increased numbers a new building, twenty by thirty feet. was put up near the first, and in later years a fine new building adequate to the needs of the town was erected. The school is modern in every detail and is second to Marysville in size. The curriculum meets the requirements imposed for entrance to state institutions.
IRVING SCHOOL NOTES SINCE 1870.
From available records, and other information, the following sketches are compiled. The organization of district No. 2 and what was done for a school buikling before 1870, seem to be uncertain. It is supposed, how- ever, that school was held in a church building situated about one and one- half blocks south of the present postoffice site in Irving. This now is the residence property of Mrs. Julia Wells. The okl church in question stood on the rear of these premises and the bell which now rings in the tower of the frame school building once rang in the tower of the old church. In 1870 a stone school building was erected at the same site as the present building. It contained two rooms and had but one teacher until 1873. Since the two rooms were situated one above the other. Mr. Jeffers, the first teacher. must have had no use for the room above. In 1873, however, according to the recollection of one of the pupils, who began school that year, another teacher was added to the teaching force, Miss Williams. It is uncertain whether there were any assistants before this year or not.
Then for a period of ten years there is no certainty as to the names of teachers and superintendents, knowing only the names of some men who acted as principals during that period. They are given in the order they served: . A. Jeffers, 1870: Mr. Reese, 1873: H. C. Robinson, and Mr. Tay- lor and Mr. Coleman served until 1883. Mr. Coleman served during the years beginning in 1882 and 1883. In 1884. Angusta Carlson who taught for thirty consecutive years, began her third term of teaching (her first in

the Irving school) under G. W. Carrico. She received thirty dollars per month. In the preceding year Miss Minnie Ish taught the primary room.
The size of the first stone building was about thirty feet wide and forty feet long. This was blown down by a cyclone in 1879 and replaced by a frame structure, similar in size and shape. The new building of that day was constructed by a contractor, Frank Edwards, at a contract price of eight hundred dollars and so well built that it still stands as a part of the present building. The small sum, eight hundred dollars, received by the con- tractor according to his figures, as reported by our pioneer citizen, J. L. Judd, netted him ten dollars per day profit. A passing comment offered was that the price of lumber then was not in line with present prices.
The total number of pupils enrolled in the school in 1884 was seventy- four : in 1895, one hundred and twenty ; in 1905, one hundred and seventy- six : in 1915, one hundred and sixty-four. The school building was enlarged in 1891 by adding to the then existing frame structure four rooms and an entrance. This is being added to in 1917 by placing a brick structure on the north of the entire frame structure. The building has always borne an artistic appearance though it seems to have been put together in pieces.
The first increase in the number of teachers has been mentioned. In 1889. besides Augusta Carlson, there was employed another to assist in the grades, Melissa B. Smith. The next increase came in 1892, when four teachers, including the superintendent, were employed.
The year 1894 witnessed the first graduating exercises in the Irving high school. In that year there were nine graduates which formed the charter membership of one of the most loyal alumnae associations in Kansas. Each year has added its quota until now, in 1917, there is a total number of graduates from the school of one hundred and sixty-two.
From the organization of the district until the present, the people of Irving have kept abreast with the times in providing the best for their chil- dren in the way of education. In 1913 play-ground apparatus was installed for the smaller children : 1914 a basket ball court was constructed; in 1915 tennis courts were made and proved a popular pastime and recreation with the intermediate and high school pupils; and in 1916 a football court was laid out. Since the beginning of the contests in oratory, declamation and track work in Marshall county, the Irving school has come in for its share of the honors. The school has been accredited with the state university for several years and pupils have made splended records at that institution and other institutions of this state and in other states.

A few items indicate the increase in total expenditure for the district. In 1876 the tax money collected for district No. 2 was $2,989.88: in 1886, $3.830.59; in 1896. $2,989.88: 1916. $3.588.75. In the carlier times the annual tax levy ranged from 17 to 25 mills. The valuation of the district has ranged from $100,864 in 1904 to $909,674 in 1915.
WATERVILLE SCHOOLS.
The first school was taught by Miss F. Hartwell, now Mrs. H. Jones, in a building known as the Lutheran church. A frame school house was built in 1869-70, G. B. Vroom being the first teacher. Mr. Griffin taught the school in 1872. In the same year a new limestone school building, forty by fifty feet, two stories with basement, was erected. It had four rooms and cost twelve thousand dollars. This building was at that time the best in that part of the country. Mr. J. Potter was the first principal. Follow- ing him was G. W. Winans, who afterwards was elected state superintend- ent. In 1910 an eight-room brick school house was built at a cost of twenty thousand dollars, and the old stone school house has been fitted up for do- mestie science, manual training and gymnasium purposes.
The Waterville high school is one of the Barnes high schools in the county, and its graduates enter the state institutions on their high school diplomas. Mr. O. B. Vernon is the superintendent.
The early settlers on the Little Blue river and on Coon creek believed in schooling for their children. Rev. Samuel A. Walker, a Methodist min- ister, taught school in 1858. in a cabin at the mouth of Fawn creek.
Mrs. Lucy Thompson Palmer taught a small school near where Blue Rapids now stands, in 1850. Emma Thompson taught in a house on the Little Blue river near where the gypsum mill stands. in 1859, also in 1864 and 1865. Fanny Jeffers taught in a log cabin at the mouth of Coon creek in 1861. Mrs. Whitmore, Mrs. Choate and Hon. E. A. Berry were teachers before the railroad came. These were all private schools, not supported by state or county. There was no Waterville before 1868 and no Blue Rapids before 1870.
SUMMERFIELD SCHOOLS.
The first school house in Summerfield was a frame building erected in 1889. In 1892 an addition was built on and the school then contained two rooms. J. M. Kendall was the first principal and Mrs. George Shadle. the primary teacher.
291
MARSHALL COUNTY, KANSAS.
This school was destroyed by fire in 1904, and in 1905 a new modern brick and stone building was erected at a cost of twelve thousand dollars. At that time there were one hundred seventy-one pupils in attendance.
In 1910 a high school course was added to the course of study, and in 1915 an addition was made to the building at a cost of six thousand five hundred dollars. The total cost of building and addition, with heat and thorough equipment, aggregated over twenty thousand dollars. It is one of the Barnes high schools of the county and has an attendance of one hundred sixty-four pupils.
Mr. John J. Fowler is the superintendent, assisted by a corps of eight teachers. The board of education consists of Henry Maitland, F. G. Bergen and S. C. Dugan. Mr. Maitland has been clerk of the board since the school first started.
BEATTIE SCHOOLS.
In 1868 school district No. 29 was organized and a log school house costing five hundred dollars was built at Beattie. Charles Pritchard was the first teacher and he was succeeded by Misses C. J. Sheldon, Ruth Barrett, Mary Hamilton and H. P. Buck. . In 1871 a new stone school house, twenty- eight by forty-eight feet, was erected at a cost of seven thousand dollars. C. Mattleson taught the first term in the new building and was succeeded by J. M. Blair, Rev. E. Barber, F. W. Parsons, Mrs. F. W. Parsons, L. F. Fuller, Florence Patterson, Ida Newton, Albert L. Perry, and Georgiana Patterson.
Since that time the building has been enlarged to meet the needs of the city and now has an accredited high school under the Barnes high school law, with John Menehan as superintendent and a corps of seven assistant teachers. The building is modern and thoroughly equipped.
BUILDING AN EARLY-DAY SCHOOL HOUSE.
Reminiscences of pioneer days bring to mind many old pictures, the log school house among them. The writer recalls one in particular of which mention may be made.
About the year 1868, while Bhie Valley was still a part of the Horse- shoe school district, no attempt whatever had been made to build a school house, because there were no funds for that purpose. There were twelve or fourteen sturdy pioneers, who manifested a spirit of co-operation and achieve-

ment by constructing one of those log school houses on the northeast corner of section 28 in Oketo township.
Those men took up the task of furnishing logs with which to build the school house. Nearly all of them were prairie farmers and having no tim- ber they were compelled to haul the logs from the Otoe Indian reservation. Sorghum molasses being the only medium of exchange then, they would swap a gallon of molasses for a couple of logs, with the Indian, each farmer furnishing two logs. The roof was made of native shingles, the seats were made of rough cottonwood boards and the desks were made of slabs, which were laid on pins driven into the walls. Elizabeth Middlemiss has the honor of having taught the first term in this, the Blue Valley school house.
Those who helped build this school house were: William Cockerill. Frank Butterfield, Oliver Furman, Robert Cottrell, A. J. Travelnte. Thomas Howes. Ben Hering. Peter Champaign, James Coats, R. E. Benson, G. R. Fulton, Peter McNulty, Sr., Henry Spielmann and Tim Downing.
One cannot think of the early days of Marshall county, without becom- ing enthusiastic upon educational matters as they existed in pioneer days, because the Kansas pioneer home and the prairie school house were typical of Kansas, as were the white schooners of the trackless plains, who brought those men and women who longed to deliver the new territory from bondage and to write across its map -- "free".
