The city of 0akes has always maintained the best schools possible for its children. The tirst school was held in a. little building on Second Street just north of where the Oakes National Bank is located. The first teacher was Miss Belle Brainard. The first school building was erected in 1887, on the south side of the block on which the new school now stands. This first building was two stories high, a frame structure, and contained four rooms. It was used exclusively until 1902 when a brick Wing was added, and the frame structure was brick veneered and remodeled. Two years latei another wing was added, and this served as the city school house for twenty years, except as it was necessary to provide more room before the new building was constructed. The St. Charles Parochial School was built on Fourth Street in 1907. It is called the Baldwin Memorial school because Mr. George Baldwin of Appleton, Wis., became interested in the school and gave a. quarter section of land and other support. It has maintained good scholastic standards and has good attendance, continuing in operation except for a period of three years from 1922-25, after which it was re-opened. Since 1924 the beautiful new school building has been available for the use of the children of Oakes. It is sufficiently large to accomodate all the grades from the first through the fourth year of high school, the last four years having an enrollment of 215 students alone. E521

Buildings were moved here from Port Emma, Hudson, and Columbia. At the present time, between Ogden's grocery and the studio, there is an old sheet metal covered building which was moved here from Hudson. The C. M. C. store CFed- eratedl was one of the first business places in town, being operated by E. W. Bittman. The lirst bank in Oakes was organized in 1886. Mr. Thomas F. Marshall was the leader in this move. Mr. Marshal1's nephew, Mr. H. C. McCartney, was his oilice boy. Later Mr. McCartney be- came his boss' business partner. The Northwestern, Northern Pacific, and Soo Line Railways built branch lines into the thriving little city and many business establishments were built as the population of the little city grew .
