Galesburg Daily Republican Register
Friday Evening, October 1, 1909


Knox County takes much pride in her public schools and it is but right that it should for in few counties in the state can such fine grounds, splendid equipment and efficient corps of instructors be found as right here. We take pleasure in presenting to our readers today the names of the teachers in the entire county with the exception of those who teach in Galesburg, Abingdon and Knoxville.   There are nearly two hundred of them and the various schools are all under good headway for the year's work.

In the following table, the number in each case is that of the district, then follows the name of the teacher and the postoffice address:
