Public Schools
The pride of Carroll is her public school system. Through the
liberality of the tax payers, buildings having been provided and
equipped which furnish "school homes' instead of 'school prison'
to the pupils. It is the policy of the board of directors to
furnish for the children who are soon to be citizens the best
facilities for preparing themselves for such a duty a
citizenship implies. While everything is done to make the system
first class, the interests of the burden bearers have not been
forgotten. It is asserted without fear of contradiction that
there is no "leakage" in the disbursement of taxes collected.
Never has the district had a more businesslike and economical
administration than that give by the present board composed of
W. A. McLagan, H. W. Macomber, S. H. Johnston, N. Beiter, W. O.
Rich and W. Humphrey.
Much of the credit for the present 'businesslike administration'
belongs to W. A. McLagan, president of board, who has
conscientiously served the district without partisanship or hope
of personal gain. His services are invaluable to the district.
Mr. McLagan is one of the active businessmen of Carroll. He is
the owner of the block in which the First National Bank of
Carroll is located. In every position he has occupied he has
always give his duties the most conscientious attention and
pleased the people. The superintendent of schools of Carroll,
Prof. C. C. MaGee, is a native of Iowa being born in Fayette
county. His early education was obtained in the public schools
of Marshalltown and later he was graduated from the Iowa State
Normal School. Since his graduation he has engaged in the
occupation of school teaching. Two years ago he was appointed
superintendent of the schools of Carroll and at the expiration
of the term was re-elected for another year. Through his
exceptional ability together with his thoroughness of
understanding the wants and needs of the pupils, he has gained
the esteem and favor of the patrons and people alike. |
