DISTRICT NUMBER 15

was in Redwood. Each day all grades came together for a short opening program of flag salute, singing, and scripture reading. This way of teaching was more like the country school; and students also learned by listening to others in the advanced classes.

The District Superintendent, Mr. D.D. Marshall, reported of it in October 1912:
146 pupils enrolled in whole school.
44 pupils registered in high school
Mr. Clarence Clark, principal, physics, algebra, geometry
Maude H. Emerson, teacher, English I, Latin I.
Elizabeth McCarthy, teacher, 7 & 8 grades, 31 pupils registered.
Ethel Campbell, Redwood, teacher, Normal, $10.00, 5 & 6 grade, 22 pupils registered.
Grace M. Rogers, [teacher], 3 & 4 grade
Miss Ida Getman, teacher, 1 & 2 grades, $11.00, first grade, 39 pupils registered.

There were two floors in the stone school building that was built some years later, pictured here from Mr. Wingerath's Post Card Album. The study room was upstairs. It had double seats for eighth grade to highschool students.
