Abstract:

Correspondence and miscellaneous records, mainly 1924-1942, of George Mathews and Anthony Janoch, clerks of the Herbster School, a school in Herbster, Wisconsin, built in 1924 and in existence through 1958. The Herbster School offered high school instruction which was unusual at the time for a small district. The correspondence highlights all areas of administrative concern including exchanges with the Department of Public Instruction, the Bayfield County Superintendent of Schools, Superior State Teachers College, and Beatrice MacLean, director of the school board. Also included are files on curriculum, transportation, construction, tuition, and emergency financial assistance during the Depression, as well as files on the hiring and discipline of teachers. A file of wartime sugar rationing records that itemize the height, weight, and age for every resident of the community is also included. Few records typical of most Wisconsin school collections, such as attendance records, are included.
