Pleasant Hill, which is a country
district twelve miles east of Eugene.
They paid for tuition and for board
$200 each. The next year under this
new law a teacher was hired to
teach the high school subjects at
Pleasant Hill for $600 and sixteen

1908 and now they have thirteen
high schools organized and the nuni
