NOT GOOD, NOT HERE While the school house question is before tho people, and while nil are thinking of the bond lssuo and of tho poorly housed youngsters of the present time, and also of tho growth of the HChools In tho past fow years. It -might bo of Interest to know some thing of tho first school over held In this district It -was In 1869, Bhortly nftor the county seat had been taken from Umatilla and brought to Swift's Sta tion of Marshall, about two and one half miles below Pendleton, that the first school opened in this district No. 16. For some time the residents of the vicinity had been talking of organizing a school, and on February 22, Washington's birthday 35 years ago, the school was called to order by J. H. Sharon, who had 27 pupils on the first day, many of whom are still living and well known to tho people of this city, and a few of whom are still residents of Pendle ton. Tho school continued at Marshall for several terms, or until tho coun ty seat had been moved to the pres ent site, when a now building was built on tho south half of the present court house block, In which building school was held for a long time. When the building was erected, the ground for the building hnd to be cleared out of the forest, the wnoie block being a wilderness of trees and brush. The pupils of the first session at Marshall, or Swift's Station, wore: C. C. Morse, at present a well known farmer of McKay creek; Charles I Welch, a present resident of tins city; C. E. Miller; William and Scott Henjamlns; William, u. u ttorace and G. W. Anderson; Frank Uivins: D. W. Halley; David White; E. E. Sharon of Portland; Almy Perkins; Melinda and Laura Anderson; Louisa and Merialla Young; Mary Benja mins, now .Mrs. It. G. Sargeant of Seattle, and until recently a resident of Pendleton; Katie Benjamins; El len Phillips; Aura Morse; Austa Mil ler; Leona Welch, now Mrs. R. G. Thompson of this city; Mary Wil son; Lena Allen, now Mrs. Nate Ger king of this city, and her sister, Em ma Allen, now Mrs. George Mlnger, also of Pendleton. In 1873 tho public schools woro broken up by the race question, and were put out of commission for somo time. J. H. Turner, ono of tho direc tors of tho school, objected to the daughters of a negro barber named Mitchell, to attend school. Turner and Mtlchell came to blows over the matter, and Turner got tho worst of the argument. He, however, closed up the school, and Miss Abblfce Lans dale, now Mrs. William Mays, open ed a private school In the upper room of whnt Is now the city jail. In this little upper roonl sac taught a largo class for some time. The lower part of tho building was used as tho county Jail, and Sheriff A. W. Nye furnished a great deal of amusement for the pupils with a squad of 40 Chinamen, whom lie had arrested, while on tUelr way to the ""'.lie mines, mid whom he was com pelling to work; out tliolr poll taxes by chopping wood for tho county court house. Tho first school house was torn down when tho ground was bought by the county for a court houso block, and tho brick building on tho bill was built to tako Us place. From this humblo beginning the school system of tho city has grown to what it Is now, and from It as a nu cleus will spring a yet wider and stronger growth.
