Rural School Notes
Happenings in Many Rural Schools of Johnson County

In Nos. 8 and 9, Washington Township, new school buildings have been erected of which the districts may well feel proud. The one in No. 8 is a modern building in every respect with slate blackboard and furnace heat. Link Shaver andother patrons have helped with the building, hauling and grading, and have thus secured at reasonable figures one of the best rural school buildings in the state of Iowa.  (Source: Iowa City Press-Citizen, Oct 6, 1900, pg. 1)
