Early Bethel
School Pupils
Hold Reunion
By MRS. J. R. 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.

group since its organization in
