THE PIONEER SCHOOL TEACHER Story Which Won Second Prize in Gazette Contest the new cement walk from tht entrance gate of the City Park to the auditorium building was proven both at the Chautauqua last summer and also at the County Fair just closed. At both these large gatherings this walk proved itself to be the most valuable improvement made in Beloit for years and the only wonder now is, how the people stood it as long as they did to wade either through the dust or mud at the This walk was no small undertaking. It cost $000 and the ladies chose to pay for it without soliciting a single dollar which they succeeded in doing.

They have conducted stands, held socials, served banquets and in other ways earned the money necessary to pay their bills and are to be congratulated upon now being free from debt with a permanent monument erected in their honor. This does not signify that they are dead or that they will cease working for the improvement of Beloit, for they will keep right on with their good work and will be encouraged by the success of their first venture. It is safe to say that no other similar organization has attained an equal accomplishment in so short a time and the men should take off their hats to the ladies and then get busy themselves. dollars per month. Now this will seem like a very small to the teachers at this time, but I assure you the homesteaders thought it quite a sum, as they had to haul their wheat to Wilson or Ellsworth on the south cr Solomon City on the east, so money was pretty hard to get in those days after they had gone so far to the railroad, was seldom more than fifty cents per bu.

And thinking the subject over I have decided as being a pioneer school "mam" to enter the contest and write something of the early days of Saturday Night October 14th our present school districts and also something about some of the pioneer teachers.

Now it was bo far I had to board, for which I only paid one dollar a week, good board too. Of course I went home Friday evenings. Next was a subscription school at district 70 at twelve a month and boarded around (and the board was alright too).

My daughter taught there last winter, thirty-three years later at the advanced wages of fifty dollars per month So times have changed some. In the fall of '77 I married a farmer boy and gave up the profession of teaching to others who have carried on the work to what will be near perfection when we get the rural consolidated schools. But some of the teachers of those days have reached places of more distinction. One of the early day teachers Wm. A.

Andrews is an assistant Prof, in mathematics at the Agriculture College at Manhattan. The Hon. Wm. A. Iteeder was a teacher also at that time.

And last but not the least important one was the Hon. Mary H. Cooper who became the first lady Probate Judge in the United States, She having taught a subscription school and later other terms.

Bayly father of Mrs. E. E. Booker. Mr.

Bayly with the assistance of a few others conducted a literary society at the school house where he taught. It was probably the first literary that was held in this part of the -county. He was a good man and tried to do his part in building up a good society in the then thinly settled community. In after years I have listened to some very good sermons preached by him, although he called them Bibl'e readings being as desirous to teach a knowledge of the scripture as he was a literal education. In the spring of 1875 Mrs.

G. M.
