TABLE GROVE HIGH SCHOOL OLD SCHOOL Evolution of the Table Grove High School RIOR to 1891, the public schools in Table Grove had no distinct grades-two teachers giving instruction in all branches from Primer to High School subjects. High Schools had scarcely been heard of in this community. Our present school building, erected in the form of a St. George Cross, with its four rooms nicely lighted, steam heated and freshly painted, was new that year. Prof. Rowland and 'three lady teachers came that autumn t-o conduct a graded school in three of th-e rooms and a high school in the fourth. Perhaps the greatest of many things which Supt. Rowland did for the Table Grove schools was to systematize the entire work and place certain grades in each room. During these first years a very creditable library was also begun, Supt. Rowland donating a complete set of his own encyclopedias for reference work. Two years later, the school purchased a new set of Inter- nationals. New pictures of VV-ashington, Columbus, Bryant. Lowell and Longfellow were added, and the first Supt. finished his three years of successful work by graduating the largest class on the roll of the Table Grove alumni. Lack of space pre- vents the mention of all succeeding Principals, but each has carried on the good work and presum-ably made some progress. FOUR
