Center School Dist.
In Excellent Shape

With most OF the school districts in
the state of Washington, and over the
nation as well, in debt, the Center
school stands unique with its record of
$500 ahead of the budget for 1928
after all debts have been paid. Last
year the district had about S4100 on
which to run the school. This year
the sum has been cut to $500, but the
credit balance on their books will help
in making up this deficit. This shows
that the school board has looked
ahead and have been unusually sue
cessful in the handling Of their
finances. They want the best in their
schools, and employ teachers Of the
finest training and background. and
Loyalty support them. In addition to
the two regular teachers, they employ
Mrs. Morgan Doebbler to supervise

One of the most interesting places
on vashon- Maury Island is the village
of Dockton. Years ago 1t was con-
sidered by the United States Govern
ment as a possibility for a naval base
because of the excellent harbor. 1t
lost this opportunity to Bremerton,
the report being that an island was
not as favorable a location as the
mainland. Industries flourished and
passed into oblivion-there was a
blacksmith shop for ship fittings, a
lumber mill, cannery, and shipyards.
The present school building was con-
structed during the war to house ship
yard workers. A cottage was built for
the superintendent which is nov being
used as the teacherage.
The old hotel of Dockton burned.
The ship yards were abandoned after
the war. The village settled back to
Its fishing business. The residents are
from the northern party of Norway,
and from an Austrian Island off the
coast Of Dalmatia, about fifty percent
of each. In the last year or two
Austrians from the mountains have
bought property in the village.
The fishermen are prosperous and
thrifty. Nose of them own their own
boats, or share in boat. AS the
men retire, they do little farming
on their well-kept places. Practically
everybody owns his own home.
There are two churches, the Roman
Catholic for the Austrians and the
Community Church for the Scandi-
navians. The two church bodies work
in harmony, helping each other out
at bazaars, dinners, and other affairs
to raise money for their respective
churches.
There is thriving community club
which bought the old school building
repaired 1t, put in hardwood floor
lights, restrooms and well equipped
kitchen The club house is used fol
public meetings, community dances
and parties. There have been Boy
Scouts, Campfire Girls and Parent
Teacher organizations there.
