Schools

The schools of the township are ten in number, and in execellent condition. The houses are good, several of them very noticeably so. In district No. 5 (Farmington village) there are two departments, a higher and a lower, respectively in charge of a male and female teacher. The terms aggregate forty weeks per year. The annual salary of the male teacher in the village district is one thousand dollars, that of the lady teacher four hundred dollars. The other districts employ male teachers only in winter, the summer terms being taught by females; the remuneration of the former being from thirty-five to fifty dollars per month, and of the latter two dollars and fifty cents to three dollars and fifty cents per week.

The township school superintendent for the present year (1877) is Addis Emmett Green, Esq.; township school inspector, James L. Wilber, Esq.
