developed that the Briggs and Ellis cat
tie outfit: renewed its permit to Craze
stock at fifty cents per head by actual
count, but the stock was to be kept re-
mote from Indian settlements. The Hos
kins and McGirl outfit had only a per-
nit to herd their bulls on the reserva-
ton, when separate from their herd,
which ranged on the north side of the
river. George Ash has a permit to range
a small band.
Agent Henry E. Williamson had been
instructed by the department to rigid
ly enforce the law relating to reserva-
tons. He found this to be an arduous
task so far as trespasses of stock on the
reservation was concerned, as cattle
usually have little respect for law.

fects of any treaty to open the reser-
walton. They imagine that by scatter
ing they will be able to hold the lands
in the reservation, no matter what con-
gressional action may take place. Who
ever put this notion into their heads
has kept his own counsel. If the bill
for the apportionment of Indian lands
should become a law, this scattering of
the savages will not be Objectionable.

would be valuable in the future, could
not be depended upon for present needs,
and he asked the legislature ito devise
some system of education to meet the
immediate wants of u people," And
in this instance the legislature willingly
complied with his request.
The first school district was in Mad
iSon county, and the first public school
opened in Virginia City on the fifth of
March, 1866. It's trustees were Hon. Jo-
seph Willard. Samuel Word, and Cap
tain Rodgers. with the Rev. George
Smith as clerk. While the names of
these trustees are a matter of record,
that of the principal of the school is
not given, although we IRE left to in
fer that a Mr.. Thrasher, who is cited
as the first superintendent or commits
sioner of public instruction, had charge
of this school. This seems probable, as
the school records state Thomas Dims-
dale was the first superintendent of
public instruction for Montana.
On November, 1866, Governor Green
Clay Smith called the attention of the
legislature to the necessity for further
legislation in behalf of education. Like
Governor Edgerton. Governor Smith
dwelt upon the Importance of educa-
ton in every country. but especially in
n where there is a democratic form
of government. He then suggested what
system of education should be adopted
in Montana. If there was any legisla-
ton regarding education during the
Meagher regime, it was later annulled
by congress. as were the other laws
enacted by the legislature he illegally
called.
According to Mrs. w. j. Beal, the
first school in Bozeman was held in the
back room, of a log house in the winter
of 1865. The building had no floor and
was heated by ii fireplace built of
boulders. A Mr.. Anderson was the
teacher, and the pupils were Benjamin,
Edwin and Rosa Fridley, Jay Jay Nc
Arthur, and Frank Meraville, a half

intendent of public instruction to serve,

Schools i'm Montana Were
Conducted i'm Private Homes
By MRS. M. E. PLASSMANN

By MRS. M. E. PLASSMANN
There were but few families living
in Bannack during the years of 1863
GA, consequently not many children,
and these ranging in ages from six
to sixteen, would be expected to at
tend school in older communities, but
there was no school in Bannack, nor
any provision for one.
When it was learned that my cousin,
Lucia Darling, who made her home with
us, had taught school in the east, she
was urged to take pupils, and finally
consented to do 50.
No building for a school being avail
able, except at eXtortionate rent, Miss
Darling decided to use the front room
of our house for the purpose. Although
I studied with my cousin, I did not at
tend the school, as the subjects I took
were more advanced than those of any
of her classes.
At first there we're less than a dozen
pupils, but the number gradually in
creased until u front room could not
accommodate them and it became ne
cessary to find a larger room. This need
was met by a couple of Ohio men,
Charles Sackett and Richard Fem, who
built a small cabin of logs IN the op-
posite side Of the G~rasshopper, and
close to our house, and manufactured
some kind of rude furniture that would
serve for seats and desks.
There were but half day sessions at
first, and a protracted holiday in win
ter, that enduring until the weather
modified. In a contribution of the Mon
tana Historical Records, Miss Darling.
then Mrs. Parke, says There was no
discussion nor was there any differ
ence of opinion as to what school books
should be used, for the scholars were
obliged to use such books as they had
brought with them, OF as could be Sc
cured from their neighbors. 1t was a
somewhat strange gathering of school
books, for they came from Maine and
Missouri, and many other states were
represented"
Before her school closed in 1865, Miss
Darling had twenty or more pupils,
some of whom are still living in Mon
tana. Among these early Montana stu
dents were Jennie Bennett, Susan Bur-
chett, Emma Cutler, Della Cutler,
Charles Van Camp, George Burchett,
Mollie Dye, Wright Prescott Edgerton,
Matilda French, Margaret French, Hen
ry French, George French, William
Jones, James Epson Sanders, Mary

Congress was called upon in the
early part of January, 1866, to con-
slider the advisability Of opening the
Crow Indian reservation. The sug-
gestion was made in connection with
the expressed opposition of Montana
stockmen to the leasing the land &C.
cupied by the Crows to a syndicate
of cattlemen. A bill had been intro
duced that contained provisions that
we're quite satisfactory. Ample lands
would be allotted to the Indians in sew
crafty. Provision was also made for
the sale of surplus lands.
The measure introduced in congress
was substantially the same as that

though I think it fair to assume that
there have been in EACH" The forego-
ing, while not clearly expressed, evil
IDENTIFY implies there were no schools
held in any of the districts except in
No. l.
During his first term of office as
superintendent of public instruction,
which endured from 1872 to 1877, Cor
nelium Hedges gave the. first regular
report. In this he mentions schools in
nine counties, Madison, Gallatin, Deer
Lodge, Lewis and Clark, Meagher, JET
ferson, Chouteau, Missoula and Beaver
head. The average school term each
year, was then 80 days. Bookkeeping
was a required study. Deer Lodge had
the first frame school house, and Mis-
soula the first one of brick. Helena
held school in the basement of a church.
The desks and benches were a terror
to behold" While Hedges was in office,
good school buildings, were erected in
Helena, Virginia City, Bannack, Black
foot and New Chicago.
Clark Wright, who was s~uperintend-
ent of public instruction, following Cor
neliuS Hedges, reported new school
houses at Butte, Bozeman, and Benton.
The next superintendent, Egbert Smith,
states that in 1879 Montana schools
had 7,049 pupils, which was twice the
number of pupils in 1872.
, From this brief sketch it will be seer
that the road to learning in the early
days of Montana'S history was no prim-
rose path, but a way beset with mani
fold difficulties for pupil, teacher, and
superintendent of instruction. The
buildings used for schools were not con-
structed for that purpose. They were
generally log cabins, and poorly lighted
and heated. The pupils could follow nc
regular course of study, for there was
none. The school books were a heteru--
geneous lot and of varying ages.
There being a large southern element
here, race prejudice formed for a time
another obstruction to block the prog
ress of the would-be student and even
affected the teachers. In Helena. a sep
arate school was opened for negros, In
dams, and mixed bloods, and an at
tempt made to GUST a capable teacher
because she had Indian blood, For
tunately, the good sense of the COM
mun1ty operated to retain the teacher.
ana the separate school was discontin-
ued from an economic reason. It cost
too much to maintain it.
The children of that distant day
could not be influenced by the unset
tied conditions about them, and did
not readily submit to discipline. When
my husband, Herman Percy Rolfe, came
to Helena in 1876 as principal of its
schools, he learned that the older boys
were accustomed to carry revolvers, and
likewise carry things with a high hand
during scnool hours. Mr.. Rolfe over
came this trouble by making the boys
his aids in preserving order, and the
reviewers were left at home.

Sometimes cattle owners could hardly
see the justice of allowing a good range
to remain unoccupied.
Agitation for the opening of Indian
reservations, however, continued on the
part of the Montana stockmen. Com
menting on the fact that permits were
being given to cattlemen on the Crow
reservation, the Billings Gazette said
that it was proof that the land so leas-
ed was not required by the Indians. TT
should be purchased by the government
from the Crows, and opened to stock
men, farmers and miners. The purchase
money could be funded, and held IN.

terest only being used toward purchas-
ing farming implements, seed and stock
for the Crows; thus assisting in civiliz-
ing them and making them %self-sup-
porting. It would furnish homes to.
many white men, and add greatly to
the wealth of the country every year"
The granting of grazing permits prov
ed to be profitable to the Crows. Two
years later, in 1888, Agent Williamson
reported that he had collected and re-
mitted to Washington $42, 900 in rentals
derived from allowing stockmen grazing
privileges.
The Crows at that time had SITS, 900
on deposit from which they were draw
ing annually $38,75O. The 1896 families
owned over 1000 head of cattle and
from 5000 to 10000 ponies. Each fam
lily was located upon a piece of ground.
Fifty houses had been erected during
the eason at an average cost of STA.
Moving machines for the use of the
Crows had been contracted. Three
schools had been established, one OF
which, the Catholic Mission, was then
the largest of its kind in the United
States.
AS opposition to syndicate leasing of
Indian reservations had been largely
successful, and agitation for opening
Indian lands to settlers continued, new
problems arose as supervision v e the
wards of the government was continu-
ed under changing policies. Gradually,
as sentiment is crystallized, it is expect
ed that the forces set in motion by
Montana stockmen back in the eighties
will eventually come to be realized.
