Public Schools. Topeka is especially fortunate in her system of public schools. Their reputation is such that since our last Directory was issued the National Educational Association held one of its most important meetings here, which was attended by over 5,000 teachers, who represented nearly every State in the Union. Topeka points with pride to her sixteen magnificent public schools (engravings of some of which will be found in this work) and the thoroughness of their or- ganization, which is not excelled by those in the oldest cities in the country.
Since the earliest history of the city particular interest has been manifested in the development of institutions of learning, and liberal allowances have always been made for the development of our public schools.
The first school house in Topeka was built in 1857, on the south- west corner of Fifth and Harrison streets. It was an unpretentious brick building, that served its purpose well for a number of years. Engravings of some of the magnificent school edifices that have been erected to supply the growing demand of our prosperous city will be found on the following pages. The course of study in the schools of this city is the most complete that both experience and talent have been able to provide. It extends over a period of eleven years, divided into three divisions, each complete in itself; the pri- mary course extending over a period of four years, the grammar divi- sion over three years, and the high-school department over four years. About ninety teachers are employed in the public schools of the city, which are named as follows:
LINCOLN SCHOOL.
QUINCY SCHOOL.
HARRISON SCHOOL.
GRANT SCHOOL.
POLK SCHOOL.
CLAY SCHOOL.
KLEIN SCHOOL.
SUMNER SCHOOL.
JACKSON SCHOOL.
MADISON SCHOOL.
BUCHANAN SCHOOL.
LANE SCHOOL.
DOUGLAS SCHOOL. HIGH SCHOOL.
The number of pupils enrolled for the present term is 5,500, and the average expense for maintaining the public schools in this city will reach $5,000 per month.
