The first meeting of the board of township school inspectors was held May 21, 1837, at the house of E.T. CRITCHETT, but no business was transacted, and they adjourned to meet August 12th, at the house of William PAGE. The meeting was held at the place and on the day given, when the south half of what is now Leslie township was organized as District No. 1; the north half of the same town as District No. 2; that portion of what is now Onondaga township lying east of the Grand River as District No. 3; that portion of the same township west of Grand River as District No. 4; the south half of what are now Vevay and Aurelius as District No. 5; and the north half of the same township as District No. 6. Nov. 6, 1837, the southwest portion of what is now Alaiedon was organized as District No. 7; on the same day District No. 8 was formed, including sections 3,4,5,8,9,10,15,16,and 17, in what is now the township of Vevay. Various other changes were made as the population increased and the township was divided. In 1843 the various districts in Aurelius contained pupils as follows: No. 1, 73; No. 3, 17; No. 4, 22; fractional No. 6, 20. A new school-house was built in that year in No. 1, at a cost of $100. In No. 1, seven and a half months of school were taught by John E. SMITH, at ten dollars a month, and four and a half months by Julia A. SMITH at a dollar per week. In No. 3, Jane AUSTIN taught taught for a dollar per week, and in Fractional District No. 6, Daniel PALMER taught four and a half months at thirteen dollars a month, and Elizabeth NOYES four months at a dollar and a quarter per week. other teachers were employed in the years named, in the various districts as follows:
1843, Luther B. HUNTOON;
1844, Martha SMITH (certificate given June 22, 1844, for one year), Zaccheus BARNES, Maria S, HOWLAND;
1845, Matilda A. MONTGOMERY, Hannah MILLER, Susan MILLER;

The first school-house in Mason was built in the spring of 1837, and Miss Lucy taught the first school that summer, for which she received one dollar per week, her pupils numbering eight. Mrs. george W. SHAFER recollects that when she and her brother, Wright HORTON, came here in the fall of 1838, a frame school-house was standing, painted white, and the school was taught the following winter by Mary Ann ROLFE, afterwards the wife of Zaccheus BARNES. This house stood originally opposite the house now occupied by Mrs. A.E. STEELE, but has been removed and is now used as a dwelling by Mr. VANDERCOOK.
