SCHOOLS – Page 599


Previous to the adoption of the common school system successful schools were in 
operation here, and the town was one of the first to accept the provisions of 
the law for the establishment of public schools.  The schools of the borough at 
this time, are seven in number, under the charge of Prof. D. H. Gardner as 
principal, and are properly graded, and have an active and efficient corps of 
teachers.  The school term is seven months.  The district has one of the finest 
school buildings in the county, having four large schoolrooms on each of the 
first and second floors, while the third floor, which is at present not needed 
for school purposes, will furnish room for four additional schools when needed.
