After Mr.. Eckstein had taught on

next grade. then temporarily locate,
In room at Turner Hall, he va,
transferred to the four upper grades il
the Park School House. This va,
done In 1877, when Prof. Nix resigned
his position to complete his course a,
the University of Minnesota. The
other three teachers warned joseph to
keep his eyes open as the boys in the
highest grade had let drop expressions
10 the effect that the successor to Prof.
NIX comes from the little ones and
ne does not know much"
The first period of that Monday
morning of the transfer found Mr..
Ecksteln in the room taking charge of
the studies heretofore conducted by
Prof Nix, namely-General History,
Geography, Physics and English
Grammar. The following were some
OF the pupils of that class at that
tlme-Albert Steinhauser, now an
Attorney in this city; Robt. Stocker,
a Lieut.. Commander and Naval Con-
structor in the U. S. Navy Yard at
New York City; Louis G. Scherer,
Captain in the U. S. Cavalry at Homo
lulu, II. l.; Albert5Held, an architect
OF prominence at Spokane, Washing
ton; w: L. Eckstein, an attorney and
Court Reporter of this Judicial Dis
trlct; w. G. Alvin, a druggist of this !
city, and others. During the first Is
minutes of Mr.. Eckstein's charge of
OF that class, things happened quite
rapidly. The frs named of the above

hauser, felt the weight OF stout rod
welded by sturdy arm. Thereupon
order reigned supreme when Mr..
Eckstein was in charge and he takes
considerable credit to himself for the
general good behavior of those bows
in the years that have passed since
be delivered the first "thrashing."
Another bright lad who will remem-
ber that Park School House is Louis
G. Vogel, our present efficient County
Auditor, He also received a good
trimming first from Mr.. PAIL; second
from Mr.. Olesen; a third from Mr..
Manderfeld and lastly but not least
from Mr.. Eckstein. There
was little trouble after that. Peace
and order prevailed and the other
pupils protited by the examples they
had seen demon strated before their
eyes. Mr.. Eckstein points to the fact
that Mr.. Vogel has order in his Office.
Everything is methodically done and
IN place and be proudly says it is a
result of the old Park School training.
We had good schools in those days
and the graduates are the testimonials
