CONTENT:
The school is now in its 12th year. It was started about 1890 as a kindergarten for the children of some of the better and wealthier families living in the vicinity. At that time there were few private schools where the children of these families could be sent at an early age.
The school was started by Miss Mary H. Hunt, who had been a teacher in the public schools of the city. She was a woman of great energy and ability and soon built up a large and successful school. She was assisted by her sister Miss Alice Hunt, who was also a teacher of experience.
The school was first located in a small house on the corner of 10th and M Streets. This house was soon found to be too small and the school was moved to its present location on 11th Street.
