ia ©I]? ilmutb iJ niibnB 22 SCHOOL HISTORY I he first school was established on The Plains in the early sixties. The building was a primitive one, occupied during a few months of the year by the children of scattered settlers within a radius of several miles. I he next school was held in a small building located on the farm now owned by Levi Hale. Later a log school house was built near a Mound in the center of town. Still later, a large frame building was erected near the same spot. ears afterwards, when the population of the settlement was greatly in- creased by the opening of mines, a two-room building was buib near No. 10 mine. There became a still greater need of school room, and the Lyon’s building, the Webb building and the M. E. Church were used. In 1917 the present building was erected. For five years the children of '! he Plains and surrounding districts have enjoyed the advantage of a mod- ern, up-to-date building. The school of today offers twelve years of work. The first six grades are taught by competent teachers. The seventh, eighth and ninth grades are covered by a Junior High School charter, the first chartered Junior High School in the state, and the other years are covered by a First Grade High School charter- Liberal courses of study are provided for all years and with an efficient corps of teachers, are being worked out with great success.
