Kitchen Classes Once Commonplace $2 Weekly Board for Teacher Although the first territorial legislature provided for free pub lic schools ip Nebraska, most* of the territory’s earlest institutions of learning were private schools. Local governing boards sometimes were indifferent to the problems of education, and even with an appreciation of the need, it took a rather considerable length of time to enact levies, collect taxes and provide school, facilities. In many instances, parents of school age children simply went ahead and made their own arrange ments for the education of their I young. Frequently, this took the form of holding school in the kitchen or in one room that served as home—with mother teaching her own and perhaps a few of the neighbor children as she did the housework. More frequently, though, a group of parents band ed together to hire someone to teach their children, usually in her (the teacher’s) home. Occasionally, the parents also built a school. In the spring of 1855, for example. Miss Mar garet Martin opened the first school in Nebraska City. Miss Martin was a trained and ex perienced teacher, having at tended a seminary in Vernon. Ind., and taught in Missouri and Iowa. She opened the school at the request of the parents of some of the school age children of Nebraska City who built a small school house from native cotton wood and furnished It with back less benches of the same material. Miss Martin received $1.50 per month for each of her dozen pupils. , The next year a second school was opened in Nebraska City. This was located in a house on Kearny Hill. The rooms set aside for school use were made at tractive with desks and seats painted in contrasting colors of white and blue, white curtains at the windows, and by immacu late cleanliness. Miss Lucy Bowen was the teacher. . In his report to the territorial superintendent for 1860, J. B. Weston, of Gage county, had this to say of the situation in Beatrice. “Last summer a school was taught in this town in a vacant building fitted for that purpose by Miss Frank C. Butler. The term con tinued some twelve weeks and the average attendance was about 25 scholars. The expenses were defrayed by private subscription. The teachers wages were $2.00 per week, I think, and board. "The scholars were thought to have made tolerable ad vancement under her tuition, as she acquired the reputation of being a good teacher. This is the sum total of all that has ever perpetrated in the way of schools in this county as yet. When public schools were es tablished, they frequently con sisted of the payment of private teachers with public funds and making available to all the facil ities of the private schools. As the chairman of the board of ed ucation of Nebraska City explain ed, this seemed the best thing to do: “anything less that this did i not seem fair to them (the teach ers) or the taxpayers; no class in the community deserved con sideration more than those who have, amid discouragements, built up schools among us, and mere policy would lead us to be cau tdus about extinguishing them by competition until we have public funds sufficient to make their places good.” Thus, Nebraska’s educational beginnings were a combination of private initiative and public support for that initiative. Aa the territory became more settled and its financial resourses de veloped, organized public schools appeared in virtually every com munity.
