The teacher spent Saturdays in going to the homes to collect Lis pay in whatever the people could spare, such as wheat, flour, pigs, wood, etc. It's interesting in compari- son to our schools today to read from the diary of James S.

They have alos had a new move in Cache, its object the inauguration of taxation for the support of schools. Another newspaper clipping reported: In reporting the condition of schools of the county, .Smithfield had the best intermediate grade under Wm. A. Noble, Sr." In 1878 a newspaper article 1371 noted there were three schools, the highest taught by Wm. A. Noble, Sr. The room moderately furnished will seat about 80, though when needed, the stage can be used. There are 105 students enrolled, all grades from primer to fourth grade." We note as school closes this year, the enrollment has flucuated around 840 students K through 6th. Many things have changed since those early school years in Smithfield. But one thing has remained constant. The education and achievement of our young people has always been in important part of life in Smithfield. . . and throughout the valley.
