| Biography |
- Entitled "A Teacher Starting Out" written by Winifred Cripps Hatzheim for The Outagamie County Historical Society (Circa 1941?)After graduating from Kaukauna High School in 1912, I attended Outagamie C ounty Training School, also on the north side of Kaukauna. We were the fir st class in the new building. Upon graduation in 1913 I was qualified to t each a rural school. I had hoped to teach my home school and even thou gh my uncle was on the school board, I was not accepted as I had no experi ence.My first job was on the Oneida Indian Reservation. It was a new district a nd had no school building. One of the families has just added a room to th eir home and that was used as the school. I boarded with a white family ac ross the road and their two children and theree Indian children were my fi rst pupils. Soon more came and I had twelve in all. This was all that cou ld be accomodated around the small pot-bellied stove and my desk. The n ew building was ready for the next year, but now that I had experience I w as hired in my home district.After eight years I returned to the reservation to a State Graded School w here I taught the seventh and eighth graders. I liked this position very m uch and never had any discipline problems. The hard part was getting to sc hool. We lived on a farm near Combined Locks and my uncle and I would lea ve home at six o'clock on Monday morning to go by horse and buggy to the N orth side of Kaukauna to catch a streetcar to Green Bay. There I chang ed to a Green Bay and Western train which took me to the Oneida station. B aggage in hand, I walked the six miles to my school and arrived there by n ine o'clock.The few times I went home during the year I was permitted to leave on Frid ay noon so I could ride with the mailman to DePere. There I caught a stree tcar to Kaukauna where my uncle met me.
Wisconsin was in the forefront in public education. The general populati on of the state was agricultural and saw education as the main rou te to a better life for their children. The immigrants who came at that ti me (by and large) either did not have access to education, such as the Iri sh, where it was actually against the law to educate the "common person ", to some Germanic states (there was no country ofGermany until 1871), where various avenues for education were available a nd well supported. Wisconsin had the first "Kindergarten" through the effo rts of a woman who brought the idea from Europe.There were many "teacher's colleges" such as the Downer College which w as housed in the older buildings on the U of W - Milwaukee Campus. After t wo years a student was "certified" and could teach.The 4 year degree was preferable and could lead to a quick rise to leaders hip in a district school system or specialty teaching at a high school lev el. In some areas where financial and distance considerations made it ha rd to go away, young people could "test out" for certification with a loc al teacher as tutor, sponsor and proctor for tests, which were mailed to t he college for evaluation. Still other areas had the best educated pers on available to teach either formally or informally in the community. T he Peco family of Green Bay were the first to set up a school there, bei ng "people of substance" (had money), they contracted to have a teacher f or their children and neighbors could send their own.
