of which three dollars was paid for room and board. They boarded in a home

Belle Mazola
(Hansen) taught at the Globe, Weston Township, Clark Co., Wisconsin school
during the 1937-38 school term, after she completed the teacher's training
course offered by the Neillsville High School. Miss Baker had been her
course instructor. While attending the county fair in August of 1947, Eric
Schoenherr approached Belle Mazola asking her to teach the Globe School that
year as they hadn't been able to find a teacher. She returned, to teach
that term.
A rural school
teacher's extra duties were many, such as firing the wood heater, carrying wood
and some had to carry drinking water if the there was no well on the school
property. However, both the teacher and students often looked upon their
experiences with pleasure. Former students often became professionals in
their community, having developed the necessary skills through a rural school
background. (source: "Good Old Days" by Dee Zimmerman, with input from Mary Carl
