SCHOOLS – Page 722

It is claimed by the citizens that the intellectual and moral growth of 
the town is most encouraging.  The school term has been lengthened to 
six months.  A two-story brick building is now used for the two schools 
of 124 members.  This building will soon be enlarged to meet the 
demands.  For the year 1884-85 John Fiddler taught secondary and Martha 
J. Wantz primary school at a salary of $35 per month each.  The State 
appropriation is $125 per year; A. J. Hartman, president, and Adam 
Kohler, secretary of school board.  The other directors are Dr. L. S. 
Lawson, Martin Simon, Jonathan Geesy and Dr. A. P. Grove.
