four furnaces.
AS the population here in
creased, the needs of the school
grew ard in 1892 an addition
was erected. This was of brick
like the old structure and
brought the capacity Of the
building to 10 rooms plus offices
for the principal and superin-
tendent (also used as library
The seating capacity of the
building was 40, that of the
high school alone, Sc.
That building was used as a
grade school only when, in 1905,
high school was constructed
at Broadway and Minnesota. The
site was purchased for $3.50 from
Fl. E. Miller, the building erect
ed at cost of $13, 1924. An addi-
ton of about the same size was
added in 1916.
In September of the same
year, the people of Redwood
Falls authorized construction of
a $263, 900 school by voting an
$85, 900 bond issue These funds
were added to $50, 900 insurance
which the district collected on
the old building and a Public
Work administration grant of
S1lS,350 to build and furnish a
new high school alongside the
Lincoln school
A copper box containing sig
natures of all school pupils and
the faculty, as well as copies of
local papers, other documents
and coins, went into the cor
nerstone of this building in
ceremonies March Is, 1887. The
building was dedicated Novem-
Der 3, 1887.
From the floodlighted front
entrances, which match to the
mir utest detail the Lincoln
building trim, to the garage
and loading platform in the rear,
end through three floors, the
new building is as modern and
complete as any in the nation.
The largest room of the build
iug is the auditorium gyrnnas-
ium. Classrooms end laborator-
les surround it on the north and
west in an ''L'' shape plan. The
auditorium will seat 1000 in
permanently installed seats. Like
most other rooms in the build
ing, the auditorium has been

LOG CABIN SCHOOL
DIDN'T RESEMBLE
MODERN BUILDING

Organized in 1865 to include
Paxton and Homer townships,
as well as Redwood Falls, the
city school district was design
ated as independent in 1873.
The first Redwood Falls
High school class was organized
in 1882, five members graduating
in 1886. These were Minnie
Goodrich, Ella Root, Leonard
Pryor and Robert and Luella
Turrell.
School after school was built
and remodeled at widely separ-
ated sites throughout the city,
until 1897 when the present
high school was constructed to
connect with the modern grade
and Junior high school built in
1924.
Today the modern and con-
venient plant is a source of pride
to every person living in Red
wood Falls. 1t houses approx
imately 1000 pupils.
The story of the school con-
Quoted by Julia Williams in the
McPhail cabin within the stock
ade in 1864 is told elsewhere in
this issue.
But as an organized entity, the
school system here dates from
the first meeting of the county
commissioners April 10, 1865
when the district was set up.
The two nearby townships as
well as the village were includ-
ed.
IS Enrolled by 1877
The first real schoolhouse
here was built of logs at the
site of the present Will Thomas
home on Second street, in 1866.
In 1869 another schoolhouse
was built-this one at Chestnut
and Jefferson streets. Old resi-
dents here believe that material
from that building was used in
construction of the Henry Rad
ike and B. j. Parson homes
which stand on the site.
With IS pupils enrolled for
the 1877-1878 term, it was nee
essary to secure another room.
This was made from a ware
house purchased from j. w.
Crump ard plastered by the
school board to make "a COM
Portable ROOM"
By 1881, residents Of the city
were agitating for new DEAF
(using that very phrase.)
With enrolment mounting, the
makeshift of Mr.. Crump's ware
house was deplored
After several setbacks, pro-
gressive citizens of the commun-
ity brought about a vote in
favor of $4,000 for new build
ing in 1883, but costs were high
er than expected and the fund
was raised to $4,000, then $16,-
500. Completed in 1885 at the
location of the present school,
the building included six school
rooms as well as cloak rooms

Summers Resolution
For Representation
Given Committee
Would Allow Repeal
By Coneress-Permits
Delegation Of Powers

The House Judiciary Committee
had before it for consideration to-
day another resolution designed to
grant national representation to the
disfranchised residents of the Dis
trlct-a resolution sponsored by its
own chairman. Representative Sum-
ners, Democrat, of Texas.
There are two other resolutions to
enfranchise the people of the Dis
trict pending before the committee,
but the one sponsored by Mr.. Sum-
ners differs in several important
respects.
First. it specifically permits Con-
gress itself to repeal or alter the ma
tional representation plan if it failed
to prove satisfactory. Second, it
specifically permits Congress to dele
gate to the District any or all of its
present powers to exercise exclusive
legislation over the District.
Others Require State Sanction.
Mr.. Summers explained the two
other resolutions now before his
committee would require ratification
by three-fourths of the States of any
legislation to repeal or amend a
national representation plan. His
resolution, however, would enable
Congress to repeal or change the
plan if it doesn't work. without
approval of three-fourths of the
States.
All three of the resolutions to re-
move the shackles of disfranchise-
ment require constitutional amend
ments. One, sponsored by Repre-
sentative Norton. Democrat. of New
Jersey, specifically provides for
national representation, a plan that
would give residents of the District
the privilege of voting for President
and Vice President and electing their
own representatives in Congress.
Another, introduced by Chairman
Randolph of the House District Com
mittee. provides for both national
representation and local suffrage
Representative Summers intro
duced the resolution late yesterday,
and the House Immediately referred
it to his own committee.
Section l of his resolution reads:
THE Congress shall have the power
to provide for the people of the Dis
trict. constituting the seat of the
Government of the United States,
representation in the Congress and
among the electors of President and
Vice President no greater than that
of the people of the States, and to
