Lucas SchooL Olive McHenry SchooL (Photograph) E. 16th and Capitol Olive McHenry School (Photograph) 17th and Crocker The duties of these committees are as follows: The committee on buildings and grounds shall have general supervision of the property of the district. The committee on finance shall examine and audit the accounts of all school officers, make estimates of the expenses of the school year and have general supervision of the financial affairs of the school district. The committee on instruction in connection with the superintendent shall have the general supervision of teachers, textbooks, and the school work and shall recommend to the board such changes as the welfare of the schools may demand. The committee on supplies shall be in charge of all purchasing of all supplies and apparatus for use for the schools. The committee on printing shall give orders pertaining to the school district's printing. The committee on janitors shall have general supervision of the janitors, heating and ventilation. In other words, school board members took a very active role in visiting school personnel, both certified and noncertified, making suggestions for improvement, buying supplies, equipment, and in general running the schools. In time, these burdens became too time consuming. Also the public sought professional leadership for these jobs. The matter of hiring a full-time superintendent plus assistants in special areas to run the school district on a businesslike basis came to be the custom. However, there was great influence in these smaller districts by a vigorous board member. A particular board president might best be illustrated by George N. Frink who was elected to the board of education in the Capital Park District in 1898. He was chosen president in 1901 by by the members of the board and held that position for three consec- tive years. He worked diligently at getting the Capital Park System operated so that they could be accredited by NCA. He brought in winning coaches since the game of football was a fairly new one. He worked faithfully for the interest of the Capital Park Schools and the affluent area that it represented. He promoted the sentiment against consolidation with the East Des Moines Public Schools and sought to maintain a strong, vigorous, academic school system. The school yearbooks from Capital Park were dedicated to President George N. Frink which indicated that the students and faculty appreciated his dynamic leadership. Maple Grove (Photograph) S.W. 9th and Army Post Nash SchooL (Photograph) 15th and Forest Grant Park School District Grant Park School District was located in the Grant Park subdivision at the eastern edge of the urban area of Des Moines. Grant Park School was located at 30th and Dean on the present site of Willard School. The original building which housed the high school unit is pictured below. There were several other small school units that fed into this area on the east side. We have pictured here the original Grant Park School which faced east at the time. (Please recall that the present viaduct along the eastern edge of the Willard School grounds was not constructed until much later.) The year of consolidation (1907) of some 20 school districts to form the Independent Community School District of Des Moines, saw the inclusion of the Grant Park High School District. The Grant Park building that is pictured was continued as a K-8 unit after the consolidation. A disasterous fire broke out on December 14, 1923, and burned most of the original Grant Park building. However, the firemen were able to save part of the eastern portions of that building. Part of the first floor of the original structure is now incorporated in the present Willard School. It may be identified on the first floor as the lunchroom space that is now used by elementary scnoui children. At one time it was a small gymnasium in the old Grant Park high school unit. It was regrettable that the fire in 1923 destroyed all of the records in the building. Very little exists today to give the history of this area. As of this date, we cannot find that any high school annual was published by the Grant Park High School. These old annuals that have been found for some of the other high schools had proved to be a valuable source of data concerning the life, time, and school offerings of the older high school units. When such annuals exist, it is suggested that individuals contact the administration office at 1800 Grand in Des Moines with this assistance. It was along these lines that in February, 1975, we were finally able to get a picture of the original Grant Park building through the courtesy of one of the graduates of the high school who had this among her memorabilia. All such contributions are gratefully acknowledged.

The Growth of Des Moines As we can look at the growth of the school district of Des Moines and see how it has evolved into its present single status from the consolidation of more than twenty separate districts, we must look at how the city of Des Moines has grown. In the accompanying map you can see the relative small space that was encompassed in the city of Ft. Des Moines in 1853. In 1857, the boundaries are delineated and at that time it became the city of Des Moines. The city was first incorporated January 18, 1853, as the city of Ft. Des Moines. On March 7,1857, the city of Des Moines was organized and the city limits extended, giving the city an area of 8 c square miles. This change can be seen on the map. The population in 1857 was approximately 4,000. As Des Moines continued to grow, a number of incorporated towns and cities began to surround the core area of downtown Des Moines. These included University Place, Greenwood Park, Sevastapol, Gilbert, Capitol Park, Grant Park, Easton Place, and North Des Moines. It is interesting that neither Highland Park nor Oak Park were incorporated. All of these incorporated areas voted in 1889 to merge into the city of Des Moines. This was a large consolidation move and the city limits remained fixed for the next 60 years. Earlier in the booklet the consolidation process of the school district was set out in detail. The accompanying map will help give some idea of the areas involved. The city annexed, on June 2, 1955, the Des Moines Municipal Airport which was outside of the city limits in Bloomfield Township. This action was taken as a defensive measure since there had been some discussion on the part of Bloomfield Township's residents to incorporate as "Rose City" and of course to include the airport. The Bloomfield Township area was incorporated into the city later in 1955. In 1976 the city incorporates about 64 square miles and the school district has within its limits approximately 84 square miles. As a sidelight on school district mergers within Polk County it is pointed out that there were 52 separate school districts in 1952. The steady decline of the many rural school districts across the county assisted in the merger of many of these districts. In 1962 there was a total of 27 separate school districts and this was reduced to 15 by action of the Polk County school board. The reorganization of a number of school districts to form the Southeast Polk district as well as those to form the North Polk district as well as certain other mergers such as the Clive school district merging with the West Des Moines school district resulted in further reduction. 23

EFFIGY MOUNDS NATIONAL MONUMENT A MAJOR HISTORICAL SITE
Combined Efforts of Many Helped Achieve Honor
Iowans can be justly proud of the Effigy Mounds National Monument which has become one of the State's key tourist attractions. The selections of this particular spot by the National Park Service came after years of deliberation during which our neighbor states bent every effort to gain this honor. It is worth recording the stellar role played by the State Historical Society in causing the McGregor-Marquette area to be selected.
In 1929, the Northeastern Iowa National Park Association was organized to encourage the National Park Service to create an Upper Mississippi River National Park. It should be emphasized, Dr. Charles Keyes records, that the persons identified with this project "did their work as conservationists, not as promoters of commercial interests." Not a single person of the twenty-four officers of the committee "would have benefited financially by the creation of a national park."
During 1931, the National Park Service inspected the claims of the Upper Mississipppi area, and on February 16, 1932, Horace M. Albright, Director of the National Park Service, reported there "were insurmountable difficulties, especially the presence of established municipal and commercial interests along the river, which would interfere with unified development and administration." While withholding approval of a National Park, Director Albright did express approval of one or more National Monuments.
In 1932 the Northeastern Iowa Park Association asked the State Historical Society to lend the prestige of it's professional standing in support of their program. The Society was not slow to act. In January, 1933, the Iowa Journal of History and Politics published an 86-page monograph containing articles by three recognized experts -- Assistant State Geologist James H. Lees, State Archeologist Charles Reuben Keyes, and the "Historical setting of the Mound Region in Northeastern Iowa" by William J. Petersen, present superintendent of the State Historical Society. The National Park Service was delighted with this monograph, declaring it the finest presentation they had ever received. It proved a key factor in the ultimate selection of the McGregor area as the proper site for the Effigy Mounds National Monument.
The State Historical Society was glad to assist the Northeastern Iowa National Park Association in its effort to create the Effigy Mounds National Monument. Its research proved of inestimable value to the State Conservation Commission in carrying to completion the negotiations leading to the transfer of the first 1,000 acres of land from State to Federal ownership on August 10, 1949. Two months later, on October 25, President Harry S. Truman proclaimed the area a National Monument.
The State Historical Society was officially represented at the dedication of the new Visitors Center at Effigy Mounds National Monument on May 20, 1961. The Superintendent of the Society had available for distribution at the dedication 500 copies of the April, 1961, issue of the Palimpsest, devoted to Effigy Mounds national Monument and containing a beautiful color photo of the new Visitors Center on the front cover. The authors of this issue were two well qualified National Park historians --Wilfred D. Logan and J. Earl Ingmansion -- who had been invited by the editor of The Palimpsest to prepare articles for this happy occasion.

86 The first evaluation of Hoover by the North Central Association was conducted by a team that visited the school November 4, 5, and 6, 1969. Recommendations of the team were accomplished where ever financial resouces and physical facilities would allow. During the school year 1975-76 the Hoover staff again engaged in their self-evaluation with a follow-up visit by the North Central team during the fall of 1976. The first principal of the school was Dr. Donald Wetter, who served in this capacity from the opening of the school in 1967 until December 1973, when he was appointed as Executive Director of Secondary Education for the Des Moines School District. Mr. Gerald Dockum was then appointed to the position, at which time the administration of Hoover High School and adjoining Meredith Junior High School was combined under one principal. Implementation of this centralized administration included combining the custodial force into one total unit, sharing of teachers in specialized teaching areas and further sharing of physical facilities in addition to the combined food service plan that had been utilized ever since both buildings began operation. Looking ahead, the emphasis will continue to be centered on meeting the changing needs of the students and the society in which they live. The addition of a resource teacher to work with students who are identified as having specific learning disabilities and the implementation of a career education program are only two examples of programs that will continue to help implement the purpose of the school as stated in the opening lines of its philosophy, "The primary concern of education at Hoover High School is to encourage the student in the fullest possible development of his intellectual abilities, his capacities as a person and as a member of society." Principals: Donald Wetter 1962 - 1973 Gerald Dockum 1973 - Lincoln High (Photograph) LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL S.W. 9th and Bell Gr. 10-12 In September, 1966, Lincoln High School became solely a senior high school for the first time since it opened in September, 1923 as a 6 year junior- senior high school. Beginning in September, 1967, Lincoln will house only grades 10-12. The post WWI growth in Des Moines and the boom era of the 19201s required many new classrooms to house the high enrollments. The public school philosophy of the first two decades had looked to the 8-4 program; eight years elementary and a 4 year high school. The 19201s saw the rise of the junior high school philosophy or the 6-3-3 plan; six years elementary, three years junior high and three years senior high. The Building of Abraham Lincoln High School The bonds which were to pay for the building of Abraham Lincoln High School were voted March 18, 1918. They were sold as the money was needed between the years of 1918 and 1923. The site selected was west of Southwest Ninth Street. Samuel Bell bought the land from the government in the early 18501s. When it was purchased for the High School, most of it belonged to his daughter, Mrs. Rachel Mosier, although there is a list of some half-dozen owners besides. It was condemned for school purposes in 1919, costing the school district $49,280.80 including appraiser's fees and cost of condemnation. Work was started on October 7, 1921. The architectural work was given to Proudfoot, Bird, and Rawson, the general contract to J. E. Lovejoy; and the heating and plumbing contract went to the Van Dyke Heating and Plumbing Company. The cost of the building was $775,492.25; fixtures and furnishing increased it to a grand total of $949,754.95. The ceremonies that marked the laying of the corner-stone of the Abraham Lincoln High School Monday, May 16, 1922, were very impressive. J. W. Studebaker, the superintendent of schools, made a brief address, after which he spread the mortar and helped put the corner-stone in place. Mrs. MacKinnon, former president of the board of education, who was largely responsible for the school in south Des Moines, helped Mr. Studebaker. One of the interesting spectators at the laying of the corner-stone was Mrs. R. A. Mosier, pioneer resident of Des Moines.

Until this time, of the two most widely used early Iowa atlases, the 1875 Andreas Illustrated Historical Atlas of the State of Iowa has been the most readily available in digital format. With this in mind, the University of Iowa Libraries Map Collection has undertaken and completed the digitization of the 202 maps and photographic plates comprising the 1904 Huebinger Atlas of the State of Iowa, complete with zoom and pan capability. Subsequent additions to this collection include early Iowa county landownership atlases.

Pictured here is one of the earliest automobiles traveling west down 1st Avenue East in Oskaloosa, Iowa. 1st Avenue East was one of the first streets paved for automobile usage. Eventually, block after block would be paved in the community, but the downtown area (including 1st Avenue East) was the first part of Oskaloosa to have paved streets.
