Altogether there are four schools in Webster City, two central and two ward, one on the west side and the other on the east side. These schools accomodate 1,100 children, and 32 teachers, under the direction of Supt. D. M. Kelly. The Lawn Hill school is built of brick, and is thoroughly modern and up to date.
