The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1862-01-30

In district No. /, Mr.. Bishop, Clerk we find a
very good location for schoolhouse. The site is
enclosed, with well of water in one corner Of
the lot for the use of the school. The inside OF
the schoolroom does not correspond with the out
side, the seats being too long, attached to the wall
and not showing good taste generally. Mr.. Bill
ings acting as teacher appears to be young man
of pleasant and agreeable manners in his school,
when his pupils make an effort to do their part
well, otherwise firm, rigid, and decited.
DISTRICT No. 2.-Mr. Lee, Clerk. The outward
appearance of the schoolhouse has nothing unu.
sually inviting, but step inside if you please and
you can well imagine yourself in parlor, or
drawingroom. The seats arranged for two each,
with cast iron frames; set of Pelton's Outline
Maps; twenty five dollars worth of School Appa-
ratus walls papered and hung with pictures and
in fact everything bearing the appearance of neat
ness. Mr. Graham, the teacher, is man of long
experience in teaching, and conducts his school
systemat icaly.
| DISTRICT No. 5.Mr Spencer, Clerk. We
must say of the schoolhouse, it is curiosity-Bar.
mum has not secured it but judging from the wealth
of the Inhabitants, it will soon be at his disposal
The furniture should be sent to the State Hitori-
cal Society. or Dir. Robinson, the teacher, we
can only say we pity him, lab BRING under such
disadvantages.
DISTRICT No Mr.. Ozanne, Clerk. School
house site containing one half acre enclosed, and
very pleasantly located. House small, but very
well arranged One set ofMitchels outline maps. |
As you step inside you meet the teacher, Mr. Wea.
yer with coat off, and hard at work with good in
tentions, but little lack of isdcpline |
DISTRICT No. 8-Mr. Snifin acting as Clerk |
A good substantial schoolhouse, with 1othing ele |
giant, but very convenient for conducting school |
exercises; walls papered. Mr.. Briggs has been |
their teacher for three successive years, and as
natural consequence the school is under the best of
discipline. Wewould say Mr. Briggs has the larg
est and best class of readers we have seen in the
country.
DISTRICT No. 9.-Mr. Pritchard Clerk. If
any of orr friends should travel the wood road
north and west from Kenosha, about five miles,
they would find neat, snug little building in the
heavy timber that shows decided marks of civilza-
ton. Site enclosed, and house small, but very
well arranged. Miss Stone. lady from Racine,
is conducting the school with unusually good or
der.
DISTRICT No. ll.-Mr. Gascogne, Clerk We
cannot say anything in favor oftheir school build
ing, as we think it very poorly arranged on the
inside; but perhaps ii is well as could be for
the shape oftheir roomit being too narrow for its
length. Our old friend, Mr.. George Reefs acting
as teacher, and as heretofore, is having his usual
success in that capacity.
DIST RIOT No. lf.-Mr. Morrison, Clerk. here
we find the most valuable school building in the
town Of Somers. 1t cost eleven hundred dollars,
and is good substantial house and an ornament
to the district 1t also shows high spirit of
gy and enterprise deserving of much credit. Miss
Shepard the teacher, desires the school to sustain
the high reputation of their schoolhouse.
