Cody about 1835. A log. buUding
was erected and its location can
still be identified just west of the
double elms near the road. This log
building served the school for about
twenty years. The exact date -of
construction of the present brick
building is not exactly known, but
it was some time between 1850 and
1855.
A male teacher (as he is referred
to in the old school records) was
usually hired for the winter months
so that tlie older boys, who came
when work was slack on the farms.
could be managed.
The first teacher's record that we
have is in the year 1856. Edwarc1
Sheldon taught four months winter
term, receiving $20 per month, and
Eliza McGraw teaching three months
aft $8 per month. It is interesting
to "note here that the male teachers
reeived more than twice the salary
paid the female teachers.
A teacher was considered very
fortunate if he or she taught three

The Board of Education during the

considerably earlier than it has been
for several years.    The changes for
next year are but two, one due to
the    resignation    of    Mrs.    Miriam
