TO THE KEOKUKS, THEIR PARENTS, TEACHERS
AND ALL PEOPLE INTERESTED IN THE
SCHOOLS OF KEOKUK COUNTY:

It is hoped that the present volume marks two years' progress
in the schools of our county, that this progress will be a foundation
for a still greater progress, that the persons who read its pages carefully
will have a greater desire than ever before to do something for the
country boy and girl and that as a result of the educational systam of
Keokuk county the best and most noble type of American Farmer
and the most useful American Citizen will be found in our homes.

Respectfully,
CAP E. MILLER.
SiGOURNEY, lOWA, JUNE 27, 1904.
