Henry public schools enter year with strong support
Henry's public schools begin the year under favorable auspices with Prof Wallace retained for a third year, two high school assistants, and a revised grading plan. The 300 total enrollment includes 1868 in the high school, with outside attendance rising and a well equipped building praised for its laboratory and apparatus. The 1895 graduating class of 22 members all became teachers, signaling thorough teaching methods. Old Glory is raised each morning in Marshall County, and the 1896 Old Bettlers Picnic at Lacon drew a large crowd despite rain. The Henry Common Council also banned bicycle riding on sidewalks to improve safety and align with state vehicle law.
