Warner Subscription school The school was built in 1838-89 for education of pioneer children of the area in and around North Webster The old. badly dilapidated, frame building is to be moved in a

few weeks from its present location on the Dorsey farm south of North Webster to a permanent site in Clarksville Pioneer Village at the south edge of North Webster, a project of the KCRTA. At the new location, the school, when restored., will find an appropriate setting among manyother old restored buildings of historical and educational value, all of which represent the life, times and customs of the area during pioneer days. .Area Project The KCRTA members have taken upon themselves, the total responsibility of the moving and restoration of the old school, a costly project for the retired teachers living on low fixed incomes Contributions of interested parties are being accepted and checks should be made to Warner School Restoration Project, Inc. Tax exemption is assured for all gifts, according to local retired teacher Leonard Barnhart. Total cost including donated materials is expected to run about $6,000. Pay Teachers The term subscription for the school was derived from the fact pioneer families paid the teacher who taught their children A small room m the rear section of the school provided living quarters for the teacher. When completely restored, this school will be one of the most unique buildings of educational and historical value in the entire stale of Indiana

The project is being incorporated as a non-profit organization with the state of Indiana. Directors of the corporation are Clayton Mock, Waldo Adams, Loren M. Evans. Leonard Barnhart. Maude Yontz and Ralph Brubaker. Serving on the restoration committee are Adams of r 2 Leesburg, chairman; Mrs. Yontz of r 1 Pierceton as secretary; Brubaker. Leesburg, treasurer, and Barnhart of Syracuse, finance committee chairman. The following men have donated approximately 175 hours of volunteer labor: Mock. Adams. Lorin "Snow" Evans. Barnhart, Colonel Likens. Deloss Weaver and Brubaker The latter two are spouses of retired members. Progressing The workmen have been removing and delivering to the restoration site reusable materials such as yellow poplar siding, subsiding, hardwood flooring, floor joists and heavy lumber and timbers. All materials to date have been donated, however, new and old materials such as windows, doors, roofing, nails, interior furnishings and the like will need to be purchased All labor not volunteered will be contracted for and paid to the skilled restoration men of Clarksville.
