HISTORY OF EDUCATIO ln the last one hundred years education in Osceola Mills has made many advancements. One notices quite a contrast in viewing our early schools, the present ones, and those we look forward to in the future. The first schoolhouse, the Log Schoolhouse, in the vicinity of Osceola Mills was erected in 1846 and located at Center, Decatur Township, across from the present Keller residence. The seats were crude benches, made of slabs and planks, and the desks used were made of this same rough material. The subiects taught by Henry Platner, who was the first teacher of this school, were the com- mon ones of the day--the three R's-reading, writing and arithmetic. The text books used were Webster's Spelling Book and the New Testament. The heat for the entire room was furnished by one stove in the corner. I know all of you can well imagine how cold it must have been during those bitter cold winters of that time. This building served not only as a school but also as a church, for services were held there. The second school within the vicinity of Osceola Mills was the Hancock School, which was also a log cabin. About forty or fifty pupils attended this school. Many of them had to walk miles to get there. Often in winter they had to walk through very deep snowdrifts. What a contrast from conditions today! Today school buses carry students to and from school, and cafeterias now provide hot and nourishing lunches for small fees. aff 2 I F -.x 9i ruli- 'S ' S ieifrv
