  • Story: Story From Appleton Post Crescent Jan 11, 1862

    <p>rs.</p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Our school superintenden, Martin Gerrits, has not yet taken an office in town and we presume he will not for the present. (Recently within 10 days the sorrowing Mr. &amp; Mrs. Gerrits have buried five of their children, the disease seeming to be diptheria in an aggravated form, almost entirely sweeping their children into the grave in almost a week.)</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Mr. Gerrits is an educated man and we hope he will do justice to the responsible trust reposed in him by the people of Outagamie County.&nbsp; He has a difficult field of labor before him as most of our interior schools are in a primary condition with a conglormeration of rules and studies.&nbsp; The schools must be systematized and a general uniformity of the text books introduced as well as attentions requisite in many other particulars in order to make the school house attractive to scholars and pleasing to teachers.</span></span></p>
