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.
