In about 1843 we were attached to the Ballard School District on Solida and the next two terms of school I attended were in this district. The teachers were Mr. Keith and John S. Kelvey. Mr. Keith was a cripple and had to use a crutch, but he could almost jump across the schoolhouse at one bound when he saw a pupil in mischief.
