A teacher, Russell Goodson, has been hired for this school. The building which was recently occupied as a residence has been purchased and remodeled into a schoolhouse. The scholars take great interest in their studies and show a marked improvement in all branches. The enrollment is small and this gives the teacher more time to attend to the special requirements of each individual scholar. There are 10 students and they are all bright scholars and are trying to improve their opportunity to get an education. 1 teacher. Iron Mountain Press, 2/9/1905
