OUR SCHOOIS--.THEIR HISTORY.

The people were justly proud of
their Academy. 1t was famous
institution and gave TO the town the
inception of a reputation which it
has persistently maintained of offer
ing exceptionally excellent school
advantages. TO other place in the
northwest portion of the state has
ever attained reputation approxi-
mating that of River Falls TO the
claim of an educational center. The
Institutes established later broadened
and deepened this just assumption
until the fourth Normal School
largely absorbed The attention of the
public along this line of special and
advanced studies. The Academy was
located on the most desirable and
commanding site TO be found. The
ground sloped gradually from the
center of the block, and it was placed
upon an elevated foundation of wall.
The building was for years the most
imposing structure in the country,
and for those early days ii was con-
sidered remarkably good public
house. 1t was well built, substantial
and convenient, wooden building of
two stories, with large main study
room and recitation rooms on each
floor. 1t had seating capacity of
about three hundred This Academy
was a conspicuous landmark, visible
from its commanding location for
miles in every direction. Its destruc-
ton by the Lucifer match of vandal
on the night of Sept. 18th, 1879,
caused feeling of sincere sadness TO
the people who had given their hearts.
their money and their efforts 10
found and maintain this reyered
institution.
Some "reminiscences of this old
landmark appeared in the editorial
columns of the RIVER FALLS
JOURNAL ON the occasion of its
destruction which have come TO
light since the publication of the
article of last week, and as these
"reminiscences seem TO supplement the
absence of information in the
minutes of the Corporation, some
items OF interest are here inserted.

fact were due in six months, and in
that time another man representing
the same firm came to collect them,
which when presented the signers
for payment became indignant, ana
at first refused 10 pay them. The
collector however had securities Oh
their chattels, and informed them he
would proceed by law to enforce pay
ment. The signers having NJ
alternative were compelled to borrow
money, mortgage property and pay
up. Nothing but the promise OF
time and a smooth talker induced
these men to make these purchas SEES
They paid $1,000 for a 5000 article
