ter O actual date can b set , for the beginning of the public High achool system In Richmond, but the opening took place gradually In an unpretentious room of the old public achool bouse which stood on the site of the "old part" of the present High school building. . - v . . . 1860. algebra, geometry. Latin and natural philosophy were made regular studies in this old room, called Number Nine, and there Richmond's youths and maidens of the day began to receive their higher .public education. Many famous eons and daughters of the Quaker City received part, and in some cases, all their education in its High school. During the school's hlsapproximately 11,000 graduates have passed out from Us protection. In the colleges of the middle west, the east, and the far west, graduates of the Richmond High school have matriculated, and in the world at large many successful men and women point back to it as "their High school." The men who sponsored the public schools in the early days did so in the face of Inertia on the part of many citizens. Civil war was on and the atmosphere was not the best for the promotion of publicly maintained educational institutions, but through their efforts in the critical times the schools have come down to the present generation as assured Institutions of greatly perfected type. C Although, today the building would be pushed aside as one unworthy of the age. the old school building in which Room Number Nine waa located was one of the finest educational buildings in Eastern Indiana in 1860. All kinds of classes and all grades were taught there at various times. The building itself had been erected In 1854 through the levying of a high tax. It waa one of the "earliest large buildings of Indiana," a history of the times says. Started In 1860 The particular room which: saw the start of public High school training in the city seated' about 100 pupils in 1860. Main recitations were held in the room itself, while smaller classes were often - heard in the adjacent cloakrooms. One cltlsen says of it:"Old room number nine waa to me, then eight years old, a Mecca of knowledge, which I thought if I could ever reach.'would bring to me a pride and Joy I could not mentally eseimate." In 1864 the high school had exclusive use of this room, and in that year the grammar school was removed to other parts of the building, and a definite course of study was outlined for the high school, including Latin, algebra, natural philosophy, geography and bookkeeping. Erastus Test was the teacher in 1854-5. He was assisted by the superintendent of schools, Jesse 11, Brown, who had been principal in the advanced room number nine for two years previous. The high school was held In this room until 1874. In the fall of 1867 George P, Brown was again made superintendent for the second time, and succeeding Jesse Brown. He remained ki that position lor iwo yqurm.f jo. iuo netuuu immmju. of his superlntendency, the term was lengthened and improved, Cyrus V. Hodgln waa principal of the high school, succeeding William Mendenball, who resigned on account of ill health before the close of 1867-8. Mr. Hodgln completed that year and taught the next. Among the other teachers during these fourteen years up until 1874 were: William A. Bell, Oeorge Grant,-Cyrus Hodgln, Matthew Charles, Mrs. Jane O Holcomb, Emma Choate and Mary Dillon. The first class to graduate from the high school was in 1871. Mrs. Jane O. Holcomb was principal of the high school from 1871 to 1885. The largest enrollment during these years was In 1876 when 154 students enrolled. In the year 1874 the school outgrew the old room and was moved to the present Garflcld building. This buildin had eight rooms and was occupied until 1888. In 1876 the graduating exerclaes were performed in the public hall for the first time. Increased to 340. During the period between 1885 and 1S94, the hish school enrollment increased to 340. J. W. Weir was the principal from 1894-95 and in 1895 Dr. D. R. Ellabarger became principal. He held this position for thirteen years. During this period the enrollment of the school reached 438 whfch was very high when compared to the attendance in other schools of the1 state. Ueca'ise of the increased attendance a larger building was necessitated. The building then occupied was torn down and construction was started on the same site In 1888. The building was completed In 1889. School was held In the old business college building on North Twelfth and B streets while the new building was In the constructive state.

Men and Y omen Sent Out to

Education by Richmond High School

Pupils in high school during this achool year recall vividly the "sardine effect" with which they were crowded Into the small business college building Teachers and pupils alike confess that year was about as comfortable as a fish's existence on land.. But In 1889 the building was completed and classes were resumed on the corner of South Twelfth and A streets. The new building, which la the present Garfield building, had eighteen rooms. All this while the old building on the corner of Eighth and North B streets and been used for normal and other educational purposes, but in 1894 it was torn down and construction on a new building started.' With its destruction went the moat pretentious public building of the pre-eivil war days in Eastern Indiana. In 1895 this building, which was named after President Garfield, waa completed at the cost of $30,100. for the building alone. These two buildings, the one for High school pupils on Twelfth and South A streets, and the Garfield building on Eighth and North B streets, served their respective purposes as High school and intermediate school, for a number of years. However, in 1910 the over-crowded condition of the Twelfth street building necessitated the erection of a larger building. For this purpose the school board : of trustees erected the present High school building on North Ninth street and connected with the Eighth street intermediate school. The building cost about 200,000, is equipped with all the modern conveniences, science and physics laboratories, domestic science kitchen, manual training and art department. The public art gallery was also located in it. The building has forty rooms besides the gymnasium, ' auditorium and storerooms. - Floor Built Under Feet Many Interesting reminisces are recalled by the class of 1911, the first to graduate In the new High school building, and the other pupils who were in school that year. Work on . the building went on throughout the year. "It was no uncommon happening to have the carpenters come in and lay a floor under your feet," said Principal Kelley, who was a teacher In the building at that time. . .-,.,. "We had noises on all sides of us, and every one, pupils and teachers, were prepared for a boiler shop career by the end of the school year," a pupil recalled. ; ."The' cement steps were all poured during school sessions that year," said Principal Kelly, "and the smoke would rise up In volumes filling the recitation rooms. When the smoke got too thick we would dismiss school and go home." With the opening of the High school In the new building In 1910. the following ' teachers . were employed, Including Benjamin W. Kelly, the present principal: John P. Thompson, assistant principal and botany instructor: Martha Whitacre. Bertha E. Haw. kins, Elma Nolte and Anna Finfrock, who are still members of. the High school teaching body. Other teachers connected with the school then are: C.

IN SOME way our schools have not learned that education la that training which fits boys and girls for all the duties of, life. .Business and education are getting closer , together and the time is coming when boys, before they graduate from the high school, will have training in the hops and factories, in the banks and stores. ' . The boys of today will run the affairs of this nation in the future. If they are not trained, if they have not had any education along the lines of economics and business and industry, how can they run things successfully? The same energy that puts a boy in the penitentiary will pnt him at the head of a great industry, or make him worth something In this old world. The whole proposition is a matter of direction. . . . . . . How many boys do you suppose there are who need the advice of ripened ' experience? Tour son may need to have someone put a band on his shoulder and say, "Here, my boy, I believe you are on the wrong track." Should Be Helped In Time. ? - The boy could be helped before he gets on the wrong track. If we do the right thing, no boy or girl will go to the wrong place until a dozen of us have seen him, have helped him, have touched his heart and soul In some way. Many a boy tumbles Into a job for which he Is not In the' least fitted. ' He struggles along through life, always on an up-hill grade. If someone' would help him into a place of greater usefulness, where he would be a help to society, what a great saving of human energy and money would result. No boy or girl should be allowed to pass the age of eight years without owning something. We should see that each has an Interest in something productive or Is a partner with somebody else In some business. . v : . A boy never drops clear Into the ditch all at once. If somebody asks about him, if somebody talks with him. if he knows somebody is Interested in Mm; temptation Is not the same to him. -.
