On July 8, 1901, the school
board let a contract for $627.00 to Blair & Jorgenson to build a school
house (a duplicate of the Windfall
Lake school house) on the N. E. corner of Section 14-41-8 (near the
extreme northern point of Round Lake). It was erected to give school
privileges to the families of James Blakley, Hugh Salter, and Fred Worman,
who have nine children to send to school. To this number others will
be added before the close of the year. On account of some proposed
roads not being opened as yet the house is not conveniently located for
these families, so a temporary structure is now being erected by them to
be used for school purposes for the coming year, or until the roads are
properly opened. The board have elected Hilda BECK to teach this
school during the fall of 1901. The school will be officially known
as the Jackson school.
