In the beginning our people
wanted to locate the school
house in the geographical centre
of the district regardless of pop
ulation.
After the railrod was com
pleted and the depot located a
new town site was soon laid out
and called Nonn'ille. It was
more than a mile from the near ,
est school house and for years
the rule of progress and civil
ization were reversed by the
people sending their childen ]
from town to school in the
country , and paying tuition to
attend the country school.
These inconvenient conditions
prevailed until the spring of
1879 , when the first steps -were
taken to take parts of neighbor
ing district * and form the pre
sent school district' ) . " ) . Messrs
M. Riley , S. C. Barlow , I. L.
Mead and William LYnton met
to talk the matter over. The
S
result of this conference was
that each member agreed to
make himself a committee of
tine to bring the matter up at
the next annual meeting of his
own school district.
After a number of special
school meetings , petitions , re
monstrances and heated de
bates between old neighbors ,
who , which the best of friends ,
differed radically when it came
to the partition of their school
districts , school d strict 05 uas
( rgaimed during the fall ol
1878 , and the territory cnmpris
ing it was taken more or less
Mr. Jones taught but otto term
when the increased attendance
necessitated employing a se
cond teacher. After preparing
another room Miss Juliana Ryan
was employed as Mr. Jones as
sistant. Misser Ett.i Oalnpbcll
and May Barngrover were em
ployed to teach during the year
' 85-5. Following Principal Jones
were Newcomber , Grinstead ,
C. C. Pool , 11. L. HolT , W. II.
Benton , 0. L. McGnire , Geo.
Croctfer , Goo. E. Martin , W. B.
Johns and the present Princi
pal \V G. James.
The growth of thesohool was
rapid. At the beginning of the
year 18015 the total enrollment
was 00 ; the enrollment of ' 06
was 18 ! ) ; in 11)01 ) the enrollment
was'J 10 and } { ( ) of this number
non-resident pupils.
The frame school house was
destroyed by lire November
11)01. ) The library , curiosity
aliop , physical and botanical up-
parains and other school helps
were lost. The opera house and
city hall were soon fitted up
and used for school during the
the remainder of the year. By
the opening of the next term
the present beautiful briulc
building was re.uly for use.

LIHKAKY DAY , OOTOber 20 , 1005.
The Friday nearest October
21 has , by common consent , been
et aside by Nebraska schools ,
to be observed as Library day.
Every school in Nebraska is
urged to make Library day in
100F ) count in the direction of
more and better school li
braries.
The general topic suggested
for special attention this year is
the Louisiana purchase , its ux
ploration and development and
present condition , with special
reference to the Lewis and
Clark story , and the settlement
of the great northwest. Every
Nebraska child of sufficient age
should be familiar with the his
tory and geography of the Lewis
and Clark expedition. No more
picturesque or thrilliag incident
of exploration adorns the pages
of our history. Here was a band
of men who carried an except
ionally perilous undertaking tea
a consientions and successful
finish , with no notions of ex
torting excessive regard or re
ceiving honor or power from
their lellow men. This page of
our history is well worth re
reading by older people in these
days when newspapers and mag.
a/.ines Haunt tales of civic cor
ruption forever before our eyes.
The simple annals of these men
who did their work well because
they had agreed to do it should
be told annually by our fire
sides. Let us use Library day
to awaken new interest in this
good , old story , and to increase
our knowledge of the resources
of the wonderful northwestern
states.
The particular object of the
day should be to add to the
chool library a few good books
on the West , and to learn to use
then Lt is suggested that a few
dollar.be raised at once , and ex
pended for the following books :
Wheeler Trail of Lewis and
Clark , 2 vol. List Price SO on.
Net Price. § 1 7f > . Postnge $40.
Lighten Lewis and Clark.
List Price , f > 0 cents. Net
Price , -12-cenls. Postage" cents.
Brooks Fir.st across the conti
nent. List Price. $1.50. Net
Price $1.20. Postage M cents.
Kingsley Story of Lewis and
Clark , List Price , 25 cents.
Net Price , 21 cents. Postage ,
1 cents.
Hitchock Louisana purchase ,
List Price , 00 cents. Net Price ,
50 cents. Postage , 10 cents.
The first book in this list is a
history of the Lewis and Clark
expedition , wii.li line descrip
tions of the country sis it now is.
The illustrations are an educa
tion in themselves , and it is
hoped that all grammar and
high school pupils in Nebraska
may have access to this book.
The other books in this list are
suited to the various lower
grades. The net prices given
above are the prices for which
the St. Paul Book and Statidn-
cry Co. , St. Paul , Minn. , will
sell these books to Nebraska
school districts , the postage to
be paid by the purchaser , and
the money sent with the order.
After studying such material ,
the teacher should be able to
make hur own program. The
story of Sacajawea "Bird wo
man" should be made a feature
of the day. In many school dis
tricts , someone who wits present
at the unveiling of the Sacaja-
wea monument at Portland , will
ue willing to come to the school
liouse and tell the children about
it. A large wall or blackboard
nap may be used for some pupil
to to trace the Lewis and Clark
trail , another pupil may tell
something of what the explorers
il and saw , and others may
tell what they would see if they
should go over tin. tr.\il now.
Particular attention should be
paid to the present conditon of
the entire country from St.
Louis to Seattle and Portland.
Pictures illustrating the scenery
and industries of the northwest
should be collected and used.
The story of irrigation should
be told. Make the day count
for interest in theschool library ,
and knowledge of our country.
Magazines and newspapers
for the past year should be
searched for Lewis and Clark
material and a scrap book on
the subject might be made by
the pupils and added to the
school library.
The Special day book issued
by our State Superintendent for
OJi-fi contains an excellent
article on Lewis and Clark ,
with suggestions for a program.
Copies of this book should be
in the hands of all teachers.
County superintendents probab
ly have copies at their offices ,
which may be had upon appli
cation. Upon the receipt of
(5 ( cents for postage , the State
Superintendent's office will mail
a copy ( tf this Special day book ,
as long as the supply lasts.
Other descriptive and histori
cal material may be had by ad
dressing the general passenger
agent , Northern Pacific railroad
St. Paul , Minn. By sending to
him , perhaps 50 cents for post
age , and asking for such of the
publications of thai road as will
givu information on the Lewis
and Clark country , past and
present , some material may be
added to the school library.
Library day should add thous
ands of good books to theschool
libraries of Nebraska. With
in a day or two afterward , in
would greatly please this Com
mission to hear from teachers
and pupils all over this state as
to the way it was observed , and
the tangible results. Addition
al lists of books on Lewis and
Clark and the West will be
furnished from this office to all
applicants. Let us hear from
tin-schools on this and any related -
lated topics that suggest them
selves.
