Of your SCHOOL, lJe thought sol Moth
ing. Do you know its significance7 rs
achievements Tskl Tskl A knowledge
Of its history should be part Of he
knowledge Of every graduate.
The Early School of Libby-The First
Building.
In the early COS the school did AT
have a regular meeting place, the ses-
sions being held wherever it was most
convenient. This school was financed by
the parents Of the pupils who attended
Miss Wall and Mrs. Geddes were he
first teachers
When Libby became part of Flat
head county, parents of the community
saw the necessity of having a perna-
nent school structure. Therefore, frame
building was built on the spot where
the Libby hotel now stands. The build
ing was 24x30 feet. The outside boards
were placed straight up and down and
battened-that is, strips covered up the
cracks in the siding. Mrs. Hills was the
first teacher in this little schoolhouse
and there she taught for two years.
She had 80 pupils. In the school there
were homemade seats, the backs of
which formed desks for others.
The pupils sat side by side on the
long hard benches. Discipline would
seem to be hard as the pupils quarters
were cramped, the pencil Of one student
sometimes interfering with the pencil
of the other. But Mrs Hills said she
could leave the room for ten or fifteen
minutes and return to find it Just as
peaceful and quiet as before she left
This leads us to believe that students
Of THAT early school appreciated more
than we do their opportunity. A tin
political bulletin board was used for
blackboard. The school did, however,
boast of fine large air-tight stove
attended to by the pupils and the teach
err. Necessities of school were obtained
by sponsoring dances, so itScould easily
be seen that no Injuries could be had.
And when the school wanted report
cards, Mrs Hills painstakingly made
every card by hand.
The first newspaper in Libby was
published in that school with Leila
Switzer as the first editor. A box was
placed on the teachers desk in which
news was deposited by the children.
The editor, each Friday afternoon, or
ganized the material which was read
aloud to the school The best csays
were also read, the best map was dis
PLAYED, and pieces were Grated There
were always from eight to ten visitors
at these weekly sessions, as that was
their only means of getting the news.
Mrs. Hills tells an interesting item
of living one winter at the ranch"
(where the Jewell home now stands).
When it showed that winter, it showed
hard and made deep drifts to wade
through. Therefore, the five older BOYS
of the school, Archie Hoffman, Elmer

Village of Edwardsville, must die
In the electric chair as jury de-

. Bobby's attorneys worked slowly

young mining engineer who took
Freda's life as the solution to a
tangled love affair.
The motion will not be filed un-

A few weeks will pass before the
motion can be argued before the
Euzerne county court en- banc, and
then a few more before decision
IS handed down. Appeals to the
State supreme court and the State
board of pardons, if necessary, will
delay final determination of Ed
