(Continued from Page One) many fields of education, other than the three £ ‘R’s” have had a tendency to be dropped, in recent years, they are really becoming more necessary to education every day. Robert Searfoss brought out that the first secondary school in America was the Latin-Grammar school, founded in Boston, April 23, 1635. This school was not co educational and met at the Master’s home. The Boston Latin school was organized under religious influence and was preparatory for the University where ministers were trained. It was a tuition school, in that it was not free, but it was public, in that it as partially supported, and controlled- by the town. The Latin-Grammar schools after the first one, were supported by grants of land by civil authorities, private benefactions, bequests, taxation, income from lease of power rights, fords and fishing monopolies. The requirement of these first schboh was: ability to read well. The Curriculum was almost entirely Latin, with some Greek. By the end of the 17th century at least 40 Latin-Grammar schools were established in New England. The Massachusetts Law of 1647 has been called the most important piece of school legislation in our history. This law contains the essentials of our public school system, including compulsory general education and public support of elementary and secondary education. The law of 1647 furnished a model for legislation in other states. The Latin-Grammar school failed

because it made no provision for the education of the masses. Karl Stoelting brought out the growth and development of secondary schools in the United States and traced the history of the academy which followed the Latin-Grammar school. The first academy was established in Philadelphia in 1751, under the influence of the rising commercial and industrial executives, not of the clergy. By 1830 there were something like 1,000 such schools in the United States. Academies established the fact that the secondary school has a finishing function as well as a preparatory function. In May 1821, a new school was opened in Boston, under the name of the English Classical School, which was changed to the English High School. This was the first use of the name “High School." The important characteristics of this new High school were: the demotion of the classics and the new emphasis on the study of English; the aim as in the academy to provide for entrance to some form of vocation; a three year course of study; the exclusion of girls as in the LatinGrammar school; the admission of boys at the age of 12 instead of at 9. By 1890 the High school had become the dominant secondary institution in the United States. Tradition in the United States coupled secondary education with an upper class. Those who were able to pay for instruction of their own children objected to paying taxes for the instruction of children of others. After the Kalamazoo case of 1872 established the fact that the state had a legakright to use. public funds for High school support, the chief barrier in the development of the public High school was removed. In his talk, Russell Gawthrop described the growth and development of the High school in Syracuse. The first one here was in 1887. It was a township school, and consisted of a course only two years in in length. The school was located just north of the present Grade building. Mrs. Blanche SpragueHire was the first graduate. Requirements for entrance to the High school were graduation from the Grade school Joseph P. Dolan was chosen principal of the schools here in 1878 and remained in that position with the exception of five years, until 1898. About this time the school was abandoned by the township and was taken over by the town. Allen A. Norris was elected principal in 1898 and the school increased from one to a three years course. In 1902 the old Kern store building was moved on to the south end of the school grounds, facing Main street, for use as a High school. In 1907 they changed from a three year course and followed the four year plan. In 1905 C. C. Bachman succeeded Mr. Owen as principal and served faithfully until 1924. In 1907 work was started on the new school building, the present Grade school It was necessary to wreck the old Kern building. Pupils were housed in the Progressive church building, the Moore dwelling on West Main street, and two buildings on East Main. The High school moved into the new building in 1908. Two teachers were engaged in teaching High school subjects. In 1926 Miss Gladys Minardow was employed as the first, full time music and art teacher. Due to crowded conditions the High school lost its permanent commission in 1925 and was operated on an annual commission for four years The present High school building was started in 1927 and put to use 1928. Having met most of the requirements of the state board, the school again received a continuous commission. The largest graduating classes of the Syracuse High school were the clan of 1933 and the one this year. Each consisted of 30 members. In his talk, Voyle Osborn brought out that the ideal of the American High school is to give seven objectives: health and safety, worthy home membership, mastery of tools, technics, the spirit of learning, citizenship, vocational and economic effectiveness, wise use of leisure, ethical character. Members of this year's graduating class are: Irene Abts, Lucy Clayton, Ellen Ecktes, Velma Disher, Julia DeMott, Freida Foust, Bernice Held, Pauline Galloway, Willodean Mock, Virginia Riddle, Margaret Smith, Darrel Byrket, Ralph Disher, Herman Jensen, Daniel Jones, Maxwell Culler, Paul Galloway, Dallas Kitson, Jacob Kern, Robert Ott, Archie Laughlin, Richard Isbell, Russell Gawthrop, Voyle Osborn, Karl Stoelting, John Simon, Robert Searfoss, Ralph Thornburg, Guy Warner, William Xanders.

THE SYRACUSE IQPMAI,

LAST MINUTE NEWS. Arrested on a charge of trespassing, the warrant for “civil trespassing” having been issued, yesterday afternoon, Vernon Beckman was found r?t guilty in Justice of the Peace Shock’s court thia morning., But Columbus Disher Sr., and Columbus Jr., announced to the court that they would appeal the case to circuit' court. Simon Bell, wno sold the lots to Dr. Garnett Latham and Vernon Beckman, who were accused by Dither of trespassing on his ground, then spoke up and said that trespassing is a criminal charge only, and that only the prosecuting attorney can appeal a case for the plaintiff from a justice’s court to the circuit court. The court was held this morning in the town board’s room, where a plat of the town of Syracuse is on display on the wall, so that the alley or no alley could be viewed. It is marked off as Beckman and Lath-, am have claimed but — Columbus Disher Sr. was first called, and he claimed there was no alley On the land in question—at the foot of Harrison and Lake streets, across the road frm John’s street. He said the lots had been laid out in 1875 w and no one had ever driven through there; that stakes had been been set for an alley by people who Mad no right to do so. He said that 60 years without an alley shows no one has a right to put one there now, and that “these fellows” were driving over his ground. Justice Shock said: the case hangs on the ownership of the ground, on whether or not Beckman was treepsasing or using an alley. Disher said there was a fence Almost entirely around his ground when he bought it from Sam Snavely and supposed that everything inside that fence belonged to him. Disher said, if a road isn’t used for 20 years, it is out of use isn’t it? Justice Shock said there had to be an application to vacate signed by freeholder residents before a road or alley could be put out of use. Disher “The board had no right to there. The board has no right to say where alleys are.” Shock said, the alley was platted on the town plat. The court wants to know if it has even been vacated. Disher Jr., read from the abstract that when the property was bought by his father, the right was reserved to open streets and alleys as the lake lots beyond were sold. But that none had ever been opened He said that the lots were laid out with the right reserved to open alleys and that right had never been taken. He said that Snavely had used the land for 20 years and there was no alley there, none had ever been called for. When Sam Snavely was called he said that his father had bought the lots about 1895 and had the land fenced in and his brother had used it as pasture for his horses. Snavely said his father owned it 21 years before he sold* any lots, and that his father also owned the property which Bell bought—and sold to Beckman and Latham. Simon Bell then stated: “On the fifth of November, 1926, I purchased lots 107, 116 and 117 in the Strom-beck-Weaver addition. There had been no fence there for several years prior to that time. I bought the property and the deed was recorded on Nov. 28, 1926. In the spring of 1927, I, through the instigation of the county engineer at that time, established an iron stake at the northeastern corner of lot 74, corner of Lake and John streets, I measured south 260 feet and established anther stake, and from that corner south 12 feet and established another corner. For two or three years, from 1928 t 1931 I used this alley myself. In 1929 I filed a petition with the town board to have some trash hauled down there over that alley.” Turning to Disher, Bell said. “There was no fence there when I bought the property." Columbus Jr., said, “Then the land was surveyed by Bell, who established his own line. Does the court think anyone can go in and establish his own alley? Justic Shock said: “The court stiU maintains there was an alley there in 1875 and it is up to you to show where." Disher said: “We contend there never wee an alley there, the right to put one there was never taken. I tore that fence down, and it was there—on the east side and south side along the water." Justice Shock said: “So far' evidence has shown an alley was established in 1875, and this court cannot see where there was any trespassing As no effort was made to vacate the alley. It was to be opened as needed and there was no need before these lots were sold.” Disher said: Its'up to them to prove there's an alley there.” Justice Shock said, “No, its up to you to prove you own the ground which they say is an alley. So thia court finds Beekman not guilty of trespass as you have failed to prove this." Disher as id: *TU appeal to circuit court.” When Dr. Latham asked Justic* Shock what he and Beckman wore io do, Shock said that in the court’s opinion they might drive through the alley until forbidden by due process of law.

188 YEARS AGO. (Caounoed from Page One) wife went by the name of Mam Kale She was tall, a good talker; also well educated but the homeliest woman I ever looked at. I went with father a great many times to visit the Kales. We never ate there but we were there sometimes when they were eating. She did all her cooking at the fireplace. That was a delight and curiosity to me to sit and watch the proceedings. On these visits Kale and father would always have something to drink. Kale was a great man to hunt and kept several birddogs. That cabin was about the dirtiest place I was ever in. They sat around and read and let the work take care of itself. They had some pet chickens and these usually roosted on the bed. Kale would lie in bed with all of his clothes on and read. They surely lived the simple life. The family raised truck and grapes and they also fished in the, lake with gillnets which they made themselves. Bill, the son, was an expert at knitting gillnets and when he finished one it was a work of art. he sent to Chicago for the linen thread and the shuttle he used was about six inches long. It was an interesting sight to watch his fingers fly. Some of his nets were fifty feet long and twelve feet wide. They were often stolen. Bill and I were always good friends. Things went on like this for quite a while when finally the old cabin took fire and burned down. Mam owned a little house in Syracuse on the bank of the lake. After the cabin burned the family, went there to live. About this time some Goshen men built a big shell of a house on Kale’s Island. They told Kale they would kill him if he went back up there, but one night he went to their house and went to bed. Then they sent out the word that they would kill anyone who tried to take Kale anything to eat. They had a man watching the place day and night. When father learned of this he filled a basket with grub and started. The watchman tried to halt father three different times but he kept going. He found Kale almost starved and -sick with a cold. Kale was surely glad to see his old friend. But it was too late. They took him to his home. He grew steadily worse and soon passed away. Bill and his mother continued to live in the little home. Not long after the death of Kale the mother went away Bill then went out west to look after some land that belonged to his mother and I never saw him again. y Maybe if enough of that Western soil blows into the East we will have some real dirt farmers right in the Agricultural Department. 0 Somehow or other Secretary Wallace reminds us of a fellow who is trying to put a 28-inch tire cm a 30-inch wheel. 0 A lot of old fellows never expected to live until their granddaughters would be able to find books that* weren’t fit for the old folks to read.
