CARRUTflERS - Statesman Correspondent BETHEL Historic Bethel achool witnessed another joyous . reunion of its earliest pupils on Sunday. Before the turn of the, century this area, then heavily tfooded, was settled by families of Dunk ards who, seeking education for their children, maintained a sub scription school where each family paid for its children's instruction, and the teachers were "boarded around" in the various homes to supplement the meager salary. Early Days Recalled A number of those present at the reunion had attended the sub scription school before the organ izing of the Bethel School district in 1903. Many stories were told of the early days. Strangely there was no reference to a primitive economy or early privations, but all were humorous and often hilar ious accounts of incidents of happy childhood and early school days JohnF. Bennett of Yakima, Wash., pressroom foreman, for the Republic and the Yakima Herald, (who said he reads The Statesman every morning) took pictures of the group and showed " colored motion pictures of previous Bethel reunions.
