Condemnation Proceedings Against Old Central School Recalls An v Even Earlier School In Sullivan

Recent action of the state fire! marshals office in condemning the old Central school building here, which was erected in 1871 and had been used continuously until three years ago has brought to the mind of some of Sullivan's older citizens the fact that old Central was not the first brick school' building here. The earlier school building was located on West Jackson street and was called the county seminary. It ' was started by James W. Hinkle who came here from New Lebanon where he-had a school. The building was Situ ated on the lots where the Ross and Sisson homes are now located, west of Section street. Mr. Hinkle, it was recalled, was the grandfather , of Dr. J. . B. Maple and Dr. Carl Briggs. (Wolfe's history of Sullivan County mentions in a description of the village of Sullivan in 1848 that James W.JJinkle had just moved to town and was teaching school.) Sold To Town The old county seminary was a central institution of the school system here for many years, and the building was used for the town schools long after it was sold by the county authorities. The public funds were insufficient to support free schools more than three or four mnths each j year, and during the remaining months of the year some teacher would usually conduct a private school. According to Wolfe's history Mrs. Jane Booth was one of the teachers of the fifties and sixties who taught both public and private schools. For the fall term of public school in 1864 Mrs. Ronth was rhospn nrinm'nal: iMiss Lizzie Moore, first assistant; Miss Dora Brouillette, second as sistant, and Miss Laura Parks, i primary. ', The seminary building was hardly habitable at the close of the Civil War, and there was not enough money to pay for repairs i and maintenance of school, too. Yet the district was unable to

provide better accommodations for several years. The seminary building was last used during the year 1871-72, when a free school of seven months was taught, with 434 pupils enrolled, and one principal and five assistants. In 1872 school was first taught 'in the new building (the Central). That year was also notable for the removal of Professor Crawford's seminary from Farmersburg to Sullivan. The public schools and the normal department were conducted together for several years, but this arrangement, although it brought a large number of students here from out of town, proved a burden upon the common schools and the partnership between Ascension Seminary and the public schools was dismissed. O. J. Craig was elected as superintendent of the schools in 1880, and for the first time in the history of the town there was promise of sufficient funds to continue the public schools for nine months. In May, 1882, the first class was graduated from the Sullivan high school (at the old Central), consisting of James R. Riggs, Addison E. . McEneny and C. R. Hinkle. Cornerstone Ceremony. The laying of the cornerstone at the Central school is recalled by one of the pupils who was attending the school on Jackson street at the time. Stella Hinkle, an aunt of Dr. C. F. Briggs and a cousin of Will A. Thompson, played the organ at the dedication ceremony and the teachers at the new school in -the fall of 1872 included Capt. W. T. Crawford, supt.; John T." Hays, principal of the high school; Prof. W. H. Cain, 7th and 8th grades; Prof. Allen, 7th and 8th grades (exclusively boys); Miss Amantha DeBaun, 5th and 6th; Sallie Cain, 3rd and 4th; Miss Hawkins, 1st and 2nd; Miss Van Sweringen, art; Prof. Adams, penmanship (Continued on Page fl, Col.
