MUNICIPAL WATERWORKS SYSTEM
The electric light plant built by the city in 1897 having been suc- «essful in its operation, it was proposed to build a waterworks system
535
HISTORY OF JASPER COUNTY
to be owned and operated by the city. When the franchise of the old Carthage Water Company should expire. At a special election March 12, 1907, the city authorities were authorized, by a vote of 1,420 to 1,146, to issue bonds in the sum of $220,000 to build a waterworks system. The contract for the construction was let May 25, 1908, and the plant completed in 1910 and so for has proved highly satisfactory.
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
After the voting of the waterworks bonds the City Council, by an ordinance duly passed, ereated an executive department for the manage- ment of the waterworks system and the electric light plant. The mayor named as the first Board of Public Works the following: W. A. Turner, James S. Ross, C. B. Platt and C. C. Catron. This board devoted much time to the supervision of the waterworks system and the city very greatly profited by their wise business judgment and self-sacrifice. Each member of the Board of Public Works receives as compensation for his services $100 per year.
CENTRAL PARK
Early in 1900 the club woman of Carthage began to agitate the question of beautifying the City Park and took the initiative by erecting a beautiful fountain which was put in place during the spring and formally presented to the city, May 3, 1900.
The presentation speech was made by Mrs. T. B. Hobbs, president of the Federation of Women's Clubs, who in an eloquent little talk made a plea for a more beautiful Carthage. This fountain adds very greatly to the general appearance of the park and stands as a monument to the club women who began a new era in civic improvement at the eounty seat.
The building of this fountain had more than a passing interest be- cause it set the example for out-of-door beautification and, as a re- sult, the laws of the city were a little better kept. The club women of- fered prizes to the sehool children for the best kept lawns, the most beautiful flower beds, the most graceful vines, etc .. and the competition was brisk.
On the occasion of the presentation of the fountain to the city the name of the park was christened Central Park, and has since been known by that name.
CARTILAGE SCHOOLS DURING THE LAST DECADE
1900 found the schools of Carthage in a most flourishing condition. W. J. Stevens, the superintendent, was a most exeellent organizer and possessed the three most essential requisites for a school superintendent. He was a scholarly man and commanded the respect of both the pupils and the public ; he was a diplomat and put forth his idea and plans in
536
HISTORY OF JASPER COUNTY
such a manner that there was practically no frietion in the movement of the school machinery, and, lastly, he was an advertiser, in that he kept the school system before the public and thus had not only the pupils, but the patrons interested. And, with the keen interest of the parents maintained and the universal cooperation of the public. the schools attained a high standard.
In 1902. Professor Stevens accepted a position in St. Louis. which carried with it much prestige and a much larger salary, and was succeeded by G. M. Holiday, of Independence, who remained in charge of the schools for two years.
SUPERINTENDENT J. M. WHITE RETURNS
At the annual eleetion of teachers in 1903 the superintendeney was tendered to J. M. White, then high school examiner of the State Uni- versity, and after an absence of six years he returned to Carthage and has remained at the head of the school since that time. Superintendent White was very greatly beloved in Carthage, and his return was hailed with great delight by his many friends.
We present here a few of the school happenings which will give an idea of the character of the work, the methods pursued and the re- sults accomplished. A list of the High School graduates from the first class in 1880 to that of 1911 will appear at the conclusion of this article.
TEACHER'S RECEPTION BY PRESIDENT LOGAN
For many years it has been the custom for some members of the Board of Education during the school year to entertain the teachers of the city. These receptions have been given from time to time, primarily for the purpose of bringing the teachers and directors closer together in a social way, and, as the bonds of friendships have been strengthened. the teacher and board have worked more harmoniously together. We present here an account of the reception tendered by W. R. Logan, president of the Board of Education in 1900.
One of the most delightful of the annual receptions in honor of the teachers occurred May 10, 1900, at the beautiful home of President W. R. Logan. The two parlors and the reception halls were tastefully decorated in green and white, and this color scheme lent an additional charm to the otherwise brilliant affair. The Carthage Light Guard orehestra was present and rendered a number of selections.
President and Mrs. Logan were assisted by the members of the Board of Education and their wives, Superintendent and Mrs. W. J. Stevens. Mrs. Geo. Webster and Miss Lyda Weil. As the guests entered the re- «eption hall they were met by Miss Weil who pinned on each a bouton- nier of carnations and Mrs. Webster presided at the sideboard and served, most charmingly, frappe and other dainty refreshment. Al- though it was a stormy night. one of the worst rains of the season com-

ing on, only five of the invited guests stayed away. The evening was most delightfully spent and every one was amply repaid for having braved the storm.
The following teachers and members of the board participated in the affair: Messrs. and Mesdames Robert Moore, W. J. McClurg, E. B. Jacobs, T. B. Luscomb and C. C. Catroon of the Board of Education, assisting President and Mrs. Logan; Superintendent and Mrs. W. J. Stevens; W. J.

SCHOOL CHILDREN HELP BEAUTIFY CARTHAGE
In the spring of 1900 the Women's Federated Clubs of Carthage began agitating the question of out-of-door beautification and offered to the pupils of the Carthage schools prizes aggregating seventy dollars for the most beautiful flower bed, the neatest and best-kept lawn, the prettiest running vine, etc. This prize offering excited great interest. and as a result Carthage was made even more beautiful than before.
Superintendent Stevens invited every pupil, large or small, who felt an interest in the art of civie beautification to write an essay to be read in school, and in these writings tell what might be done to beautify the homes of Carthage. One thousand essays were written and their read- ing awakened a most intense interest, and so excellent were some of the thoughts that. Superintendent Stevens, on invitation of the directors of the Chicago Art convention, took fifty of the best of these essays on ont-of-door beautification to Chicago and they were read by hun- dreds of people who took great delight in their perusal.
These contests for the beantification of Carthage became very pop- ular. The following prizes were offered in 1902 and were competed for by the school children of the city.
Flower bed contest-In this contest the flower beds contained not less than sixty square feet.
(1) Asters raised with access to hydrant water: First prize, Car- thage Water Company, $5.00; sceond prize. the Wells & Wiggins Com- pany premium, $2.50: third prize, the B. S.

ARBOR DAY, 1903
The Carthage schools had many times observed Arbor day, but never more enthusiastieally than on April 12, 1903.
On account of the great interest taken in the prize contest for 1902 and the offerings for 1903, there was a great desire to beautify the school yards and in 1903 Hon. M. E. Benton, then the congressional rep- resentative of this distriet, sent to the Carthage schools from the United States botanical gardens at Washington, forty-five trees of various kinds. and these were planted by the pupils after the rendering of an ap- propriate program.
CARTHAGE HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI
We present here a list of the graduates of the Carthage High School. beginning with the first class in 1878. Carthage has every reason to be proud of her High School graduates, as we find among them the names of many men and women who have achieved success in the world, among them statesmen, who have filled prominent places in this and other states, and finaneiers who today are helping to mold the commercial des- tinies of the county. Many of them have attained great prominence in the teaching profession. Kansas City has many times, in the past twenty years, shown her confidence in the Carthage schools by drawing from her excellent corps of instructors to fill responsible places in the schools of that city. Twenty gradnates of the Carthage schools have been thus honored by the Kansas City Board of Education.
In the annual literary contest at Yale College in 1900, a Carthage young man won first prize in the competition for the writing of the best original poem. Charles A. Kellogg, a former student of the Car- thage schools, carrying off the high honor. Mr. Kellogg's style was easy and graceful. his diction pure and his thoughts were charmingly ex- pressed.
