The school  house was erected near the N. W. corner of Section 26-37-7 during the summer of 1900.  It was built for $747.50, under contract - Marquette and Martinson of Hayward being the lowest bidders.

This was the first of the larger school buildings erected by the school board in this town.  It has a stone foundation, is 34 feet long, 22 feet wide, and the ceiling is 11 feet high.  The school room is lighted by two rear windows and four windows from one side only.  The two front windows admit light to the two cloak rooms.  The desks are so arranged that pupils receive the light from the left and from the back part of the room.  The other side wall is used exclusively for blackboard and wall maps.  The cloak rooms open into the school room and have no doors.

The Pahquayahwang, Smith Lake and Jackson schools are of the same size and are built on the same plan.  The illustration of the Pahquayahwang school building given on another page will give some notion of the general appearance of these buildings. 

Hilda BECK taught in this school for seven and one-half months during the school year 1900-01.   Amy Alice TIBBETTS has been employed to teach this school during the coming fall term.

The patrons of this school include about twelve families who have moved into the country within the last two years.
