This example proved so worthy that it was followed in a very short time by the building of a schoolhouse during the same fall in Lower Town. It was called the Everett School in honor of Edward Everett, of Massachusetts, who contributed a library of one hundred and twenty-five volumes and otherwise aided materially. This first school was taught in the winter of 1856-1857 by Amelia Talcott who laterbecame Mrs. T. C.-Alden. It wassupported entirely by tuition and subscription. The tuition charge was 51.50 and there were 24 pupils enrolled. The first public school was opened in this building on Monday, September 20, 1858 with M. P. Noel as teacher and an enrollment of 33 scholars. This was the foundation of the present city school system of St. Cloud. , The Reverend E. V. Campbell conducted a school of more advanced grades in 1868 in a building on what is now Fifth Avenue. It had two departments and two teachers. All the lower part was one room in which Mr. Campbell taught 120 pupils, while Mrs. Nancy 'Allen had the smaller pupils in the room overhead. ln 1869 the center section of the present Union School building on Fifth Avenue was erected and in 1875 the St. Cloud independent district was formed and another build- ing erected. Building has gone steadily on until now the Tech is barely large enough to accommodate the high school alone. 1-6? este . ..,,. .. ..,. 1 X vi-' f-. Page Eighl
