[1859]


The Manitowoc Seminary Was instituted at the special desire of several 
friends of a practical and thorough education, living in this place. 
The plan was, to introduce such subjects as are taught in Higher Schools 
or Academics. The school was first opened after Mr. Augustes Wittman's 
arrival in 1854, in Mrs. Ricker's house, near the bridge, with the number 
of thirty scholars. After having been in operation about two years, three 
lots were purchased on Seventh street, and by means of a loan out of the 
school fund of the State, and the assistance of several citizens interested 
in the cause of education, a building was erected, 50 feet by 25, two 
stories high, which was styled "Manitowoc Seminary." The school was then 
removed there from its first location, and opened with an exhibition, in 
the presence of all its friends and patrons, October, 1856. Since that 
time, several of its scholars have entered into business, and proved to 
have received a suitable education. German scholars are instructed in 
their own language until they have acquired sufficient knowledge of the 
English to be instructed therein. The principal subjects of the plan of 
studies are: the German, English, and French languages, Geometry, Arithmetic, 
Geography, History, Reading, Writing, Natural History and Philosophy, 
(Zoology and Mineralogy in winter, and Botany in summer) Drawing, and Vocal 
and Instrumental music. The Principal is Mr. August Wittman, formerly of 
Newark, N.J.; where he superintended a like institution, to the highest 
satisfaction of his partrons in that place, and was called to this village 
for the same purpose. The building contains three rooms for instruction, 
and sufficient more to receive fifteen boarding scholars. The terms for 
tuition and board are $100 per annum. Music (except vocal) $40 extra.
The Manitowoc Pilot, June 14, 1859


[1867]



WELL DONE.-Two weeks ago the Pilot strongly urged upon the people of School 
District No. 1 (North side of the river) the necessity of erecting a large and commodious 
school house for the accommodation of the many scholars resident there. We are rejoiced 
to know that the citizens have promptly and generously taken the matter in hand, and at 
the Annual Meeting on Monday evening a tax of fifteen thousand dollars was voted to 
build a brick house the coming season. This amount will give them one of the best school 
houses in the State, and will be a lasting monument to the good sense, liberality, and 
patriotism of the people of the north side.
At the same meeting, W.W. Waldo, was elected Director for three years-a first rate 
selection Messrs. J.E. Platt, J.D. Markham, and W.F. Watrous, were appointed to 
act as building committee-three men who will be faithful to the interest of the District 
in the erection of the new building.
