Records of various school districts in Grant County, including Lancaster High School. The types of records vary by district but generally include minutes of annual meetings, financial records, teacher contracts, names of students enrolled, and attendance records. Teachers' registers include attendance and grade reports, as well as some instructional information on reading and other parts of the curriculum. Also included are school supervisors' records books that contain information on the staff, including teachers. Of note is a book of exam questions that were asked of those seeking entrance to the high school and exam questions for the various high school classes, 1887-1895. The images in this series represents both the day-to-day life of Southeastern Wisconsin rural schoolchildren, as well as the yearly fairs and contests in which they participated in the early 1910s. Many of the photographs are of students posed outside one-room schoolhouses, with some documenting the interior of the schools. Remaining photographs were taken at the Grant County School Contest, the Big Badger Fair in Platteville, or the Livingston High School Agricultural Fair.
