CHAPTER XIX
Educational
Monroe County offers as
good educational advantages as any county in the State.
The course of study pursued
in the Albia High School is just as thorough as that
taught in the colleges, and it requires twelve years
to complete the course. Latin, however, is the only
foreign language taught. Prof. H. C. Hollingsworth is
the present principal. He receives an annual salary
of $1300.
There are six graded schools
in Monroe County—viz., Albia, Avery, Foster, Hiteman,
Lovilia, and Melrose. In 1895 there were enrolled in
the schools: Albia, 701 pupils; Avery, 110; Foster,
139; Hiteman, 305; Lovilia, 97; and Melrose, 126.
In 1896 there wre 102 school-houses
in the county, and in 1896 there were 161 teachers enrolled
in the office of the County Superintendent. Following
