These are records of Kreisel School, which was located southwest of Cole Camp in Benton County, Missouri.  The records include daily and term attendance records, 1870-1871 and 1885-1956; and the records of the district clerk, 1907-1954.

 

Kreisel School was located in Township 42 North, Range 21 West, in rural Benton County.  It was designated district numbers 3 and 29, consecutively, during the span of these records.  The records consist of two groups: attendance records, kept by the teachers, and dis­trict records, main­tained by a clerk.  With the exception of a six-page fragment of an atten­dance record for 1870-1871, all of the material here falls within the period 1885-1956.

 

Each volume contains several categories of records.  The quantity and quality of en­tries vary considerably, reflecting the inclinations and abilities of the teachers and clerks.  The atten­dance re­cords include the classification and standing of each student, reports on the condition of the school building and its contents, and records of visitors to the school.  The re­cords of the dis­trict clerk in­clude minutes of school meetings, financial statements, lists of tax­payers and stu­dents, and annual reports on the district.
