Schools in Webster City

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. The lawn is large and has some beautiful shade trees for the benefit of the children. This school is for the pupils in that district only. The first six grades are taught there, but those who wish to continue with their school work, come to the Central school which is located in the central part of the city. Following are the teachers who teach there.

Cora McCollough, Prin., 1st and 2nd grades.
Hazel McComb, 3rd and 4th grades.
Hattie Fairfield, 5th and 6th grades.

The East Side school is known as the Fifth Ward school, and in many ways is similar to the West Side school. It really has a more beautiful location, because it is situated at the top of a rather steep bluff, where there are many large and beautiful trees, and flower beds. The building is the same as the West Side building, both have several cement walks leading to the different doors. The first six grades are taught there also. Following are the teachers:

Emma Glasgow, Prin., 1st and 2nd grades.
Mae Taylor, 3rd and 4th grades.
Viola Howard, 5th and 6th grades.

The two central buildings are a Primary and a High School building, and are located on the corner of Bank and Prospect streets. The Primary building faces the south on Elm street, and is a three story building. The first five grades are taught, and following are the teachers:

Bertha Stark, Prin., 1st grade.
Eva Tierney, 1st grade.
Grace Hillock, 2nd grade.
Mary Dundon, 2nd grade.
Pearl Shipman, 3rd grade.
Maida Black, 3rd and 4th grades.
Louise Houck, 4th grade.
Edith Van Buskirk, 5th grade.

Belle Wyckoff and Margie Murphy have charge of the kindergarten, which is held in the basement of the English Lutheran church.

The main building faces the north on Bank street, and is a three story building. The fifth to the twelfth grades are taught there. The teachers are:

Harriet Nelson, 5th grade.
Anna Tatham, 6th grade.
Cecil Smock, 6th grade.
Juanita Hall, 7th grade.
Eva Williams, 7th grade.
Anna Petersen, 8th grade.
Mrs. Minnie Bone, 8th grade.
