The Franklin and Audubon buildings, built in 1856 and 1857. being deemed unsafe and the Lincoln school being in need of addi- tional accommodations, the people voted in 1905 to empower the board to issue bonds for $120,000 to erect three new buildings; a few months later an additional issue of $25,000 was authorized. Recognizing the need of larger playgrounds at Lincoln and Frank- lin, the board made the following purchases :

These buildings and grounds rank among the finest grade schools in the state. The board has already taken up fifty-seven of the bonds and therefore at this time (June, 1911) owes only $88,000.
TEXT BOOKS.
The selection of text books seems ever to have been a delicate problem. It is interesting to note that on this question at least the people of today do not differ from those of forty or fifty years ago. The writer happens to have in his possession a copy of a re- port published in the local papers in 1867 by Thomas Hardie, sec- retary of the board of directors. It seems that a very general
926

change of text books had been made by the board and that the fault finder was abroad. Mr. Hardie says: "As some of the patrons of the public schools are disposed to cavil at the recent exchange of school books on account of the supposed great expense the peo- ple are put to by such an operation, I will state the changes that have been made, the terms, the number and value of the books." He then gives a statistical table showing that a grand total of . 10,350 books-readers, spellers, arithmetics, geographies, gram- mars and algebras-having a total value of $7.530, had been se- cured for a like number of the old books having an estimated value of $2,070. The only money patrons had to pay was fifty cents for an exchange of Peter Parley's history of the United States for Willson's history. It is also interesting to note the prices then and now :

Prior to 1895 the Dubuque schools were without a superintend- ent, the affairs being managed directly by the board of education ; every school had a principal subject only to the board. In 1893 one of the members of the board declared the schools needed a superintendent. The proposition was discussed for about a year ; the Herald opposed and the Times and Telegraph favored the plan. After having decided to choose a superintendent, a number of months were lost in discussing the question of local man or out- sider. It finally ended in the election of F. T. Oldt, of Freeport. Many expressed the fear there would be much trouble in inaugu- rating the new order of things. that the superintendent would soon wish he had remained in some more congenial field and that his official life here would be short. Mr. Oldt, however, was the su- perintendent from 1895 to 1910, when he was succeeded by J. H. Harris, who had been superintendent of several cities in Michigan and at the time of election here was supervisor of the grammar

grades in Minneapolis. The idea of supervision seems to have be- come popular. as now the board employs not only a superintendent. but also seven supervisors, additional to the principals, as follows: Drawing, kindergarten, music, physical training, domestic science, manual training and penmanship. The schools have undergone many changes since 1895. Much attention has been given during all these years to the physical comfort of the children. The water pails were banished and every school supplied with running water; the old desks gave way to new, most of the rooms with sufficient adjustable seats and desks to accommodate pupils not of the nor- mal size ; the walls tinted and woodwork painted ; playgrounds en- larged and beautified : new buildings with the latest improvements erected ; all rooms liberally supplied with slate blackboard ; the walls decorated with beautiful pictures and statuary. The natural grad- ual improvement in methods of discipline and instruction are largely due to faithful teachers, whose honest, intelligent efforts are nec- essary to make of real value any plans or methods, be they ever so good ; they are reading professional books, studying methods ; many attend the state and section meetings and a few of them national.
In the fall of 1899 the superintendent arranged for an exhibit of pictures in Temple Hall to which an admission of ten cents was charged. The net proceeds were $185, which amount was ex- pended for pictures : they were framed by the board at a cost of $225 and distributed among the schools. This was the beginning of better things in schoolroom decoration. A few months later casts were presented to all the kindergartens. In the winter of 1900-01, the educational committee of the Dubuque Women's Club, then consisting of but three members, Mrs. J. I. Mullany, Mrs. F. T. Oldt and Mrs. F. D. Stout, planned an entertainment called "A Trip Around the World." The Daughters of the Revolution, the D. L. L. A., Friday Music Club, the Conversational Club and the Monday Afternoon Club united with the educational division in giving the entertainment in the parlors and Sunday school and classrooms of St. Luke's M. E. church, May 11-12, 1901. The entertainment was the most successful ever given in Dubuque and netted $810, all of which was spent for pictures and statuary ; every schoolroom in the city shared in the distribution.
The conversion of a dingy room in Prescott into a "model" room was desired in August. 1900. Mrs. F. D. Stout said, "Do it; I'll pay the bills." It was done at an expense of $400.
Prior to 1867 all examinations in the schools were conducted by members of the board and citizens appointed by the board ; from 1867 to 1895 all the examinations were conducted by the principals. but citizens were appointed to visit and assist the principals. One of the old citizens related many interesting incidents to the writer.
928
HISTORY OF DUBUQUE COUNTY
He took special delight in telling the following: "One day while conducting an examination in geography I asked a boy, 'Where is Key West and for what noted?' The boy replied: 'Key West is near Dubuque and noted as the burial place for dead Catholics.' I gave him 10; how would you have marked him?" "10 plus."
As the board had been employing as teachers, graduates of the high school without experience or normal training the superin- tendent organized a two-year training course for high school grad- uates in 1895. The total number of graduates of this course is ninety-four. Of this number forty-nine are now teaching in the Dubuque schools; fourteen are teaching elsewhere; twenty-four are married.
There are now employed in the city schools a superintendent and seven supervisors, seventeen for the high school faculty, nine grade principals, 104 grade and kindergarten teachers, and two special teachers of German. The amount of money paid teachers for the year ending June 30, 1911, is as follows :
Superintendent and supervisors $ 9,450
High school faculty 17,300
Grade principals 10,600
Grade and kindergarten teachers 51,945
Special German teachers

$89,795
For many years the salaries in this city were lower than in other cities of like rank. There has been gradual improvement, however, during the past ten years. A schedule giving some increase was adopted July 27, 1903 ; then again, September 23, 1907; and again, May 9, 1911. Under the last schedule kindergarten directresses will receive a maximum salary of $550, and kindergarten assistants, $400 ; teachers below the seventh grade, holding a grammar certifi- cate, will receive a minimum of $400 with an annual increase of $40 until the maximum $600 is reached ; teachers of these grades hold- ing a secondary certificate will receive a minimum of $350 and a maximum of $550; teachers of seventh and eighth grades have a minimum of $400 with an annual increase of $50 until the max- imum of $650 is reached ; first assistant principals will receive $700. Following is a statement of the total expenditures for the past year :

Three public demonstrations by the schools which attracted marked attention must be noted. On October 16, 1899, President and Mrs. McKinley and the president's cabinet spent a few hours in Dubuque. The city superintendent had all the students of public and parochial schools, academies and colleges on both sides of Main, Ninth and Locust street, from corner of Eighth and Main to corner of Seventh and Locust on June 2, 1903. President Roosevelt visited the city. At this time all the schools were arranged in Jackson Square where the president briefly addressed the very enthusiastic and inspiring throng. In June, 1908, the state encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic was held here. All the school children were massed on Clay street from Eleventh to Fifteenth, every one supplied withi a flag. Many an old veteran in the long procession was moved to tears by the children's hearty greeting with songs and cheers and waving of flags.
The superiority of work done in these schools was shown in the competitive exhibition at the St. Louis World's Exposition in 1904. All the cities of the state were represented but only five of them received gold medals, and Dubuque was the only city which received more than one.
While it is true that exactly two-thirds of the present teachers began service within the past sixteen years, it is doubtful whether there is another city that has a larger proportion distinguished for length of faithful service,-a matter of no little moment to teachers. There are fifteen who began before 1880, two in 1875, two in 1867, one in 1868, two in 1872, one in 1874, three in 1875, two in 1878 and two in 1879.
Following is a list of names of the presidents, secretaries and treasurers of the boards of directors. There was no city school organization between 1840 and 1856.

HISTORY OF DUBUQUE COUNTY
After 36 years of most faithful and intelligent service as secre- tary, Mr. Hardie died April 12, 1899, at the age of 80 years 2 months and 17 days. During the four months of his illness and for two months succeeding his death, the city superintendent acted as secretary pro tem.
In 1897 an unwritten law went into effect by which every member becomes president for one year. The list of presidents from that year to the present therefore is a complete list of the members of the board during the past fourteen years with the exception of F. E. Bissell, F. N. Schroeder, and T. J. Fitzpatrick who were but recently elected.

As the population in 1870 was only 18.434 and in 1910, 38,494, the above table does not indicate a satisfactory increase. The reader, however, must not lose sight of the fact that Dubuque is a city of parochial schools. Within the past fourteen years seven large

The St. Paul's German Lutheran school has an enrollment of thirty-six. There are, therefore, 7,264 pupils enrolled in the public and parochial schools of Dubuque.
The reader may wonder whether there were any parochial schools here in 1867. The Hebrews had a small school on Bluff street; the German Lutherans had two schools with a total enrollment of 77 : and the Roman Catholics had two with a total enrollment of 400.
St. Joseph's College was founded by the most Rev. Archbishop Hennessy, September 8, 1873. It is beautifully located on West Fourteenthi street, between Henion and Walnut streets, and com- mands a magnificent view of the city, river and surrounding coun- try. The new College, built in 1878, was soon found inadequate to accommodate the increasing number of students, and in 1884 the east wing was added. In 1902 the west wing was erected, and in 1910 the new Chapel and Auditorium, making St. Joseph's one of the finest and best equipped colleges in the state. The grounds are well laid out, with three baseball fields, running track, tennis courts, walks, etc., to furnish opportunity for sports and for the physical development of the students. There are two departments, the academic and the collegiate, each covering a period of four years. The academic corresponds to the full four-year high school course, while the collegiate comprises the regular classical and sci- entific course, including two years of philosophy. The corps of teachers consists of sixteen professors and seven instructors, and the enrollment for 1910-1911 was above 300. The class graduat- ing from the collegiate department in June, 1911, numbers eighteen, while fifty will graduate from the academic department.

HISTORY OF DUBUQUE COUNTY
German Presbyterian College and Seminary-In 1852 Rev. Ad- rian Van Vliet, pastor of the German Presbyterian church of Du- buque, feeling the need of an educated ministry in our German settlements, conceived the idea of starting a school for the train- ing of young men willing to devote themselves to that cause. The school began with two students and became known as the German Theological School of the Northwest. In 1872 the female semi- nary at the head of Iowa street was purchased for $10,000. This building was used till 1907, when the school was removed to the beautiful building on Dehli street, erected in 1906 largely through the efforts of the president, Dr. C. M. Steffens. The building is well equipped, has all the modern conveniences and is located on the highest ground in the city.
This institution has three departments-academy, college and seminary. The college course leads to the degree of A. B. After graduating from the college department, the great majority take the seminary course of three years to prepare for the ministry --- German, Bohemian or English. There are more nationalities rep- resented than in any other school in the West. Besides the stu- dents from many of the states and Mexico, the institution draws many from Europe who desire to locate in America because of the superior opportunity afforded for the study of the German and Bohemian languages. The curriculum is being constantly improved, the faculty enlarged and the standard of scholarship raised to meet the demands of the day. The attendance has doubled within the past three years.
Mt. St. Joseph's College and Academy-This is one of the finest schools for young women in the state and draws students from all sections of the United States. It has commodious and well equipped buildings on an imposing site at the intersection of Semi- nary and West Locust streets. It was founded in 1868 and is conducted by the Sisters of Charity. The attendance is large and increasing so rapidly that a new building or addition is required frequently. One of the finest conservatories in the country was built recently. The institution has three departments-preparatory, academic and collegiate.
Academy of Visitation-A little band of six sisters from the Monastery of the Visitation in St. Louis arrived in Dubuque Au- gust 26, 1871, to found a new community and open an academy for the education of young ladies. The school was established in a small brick house near St. Raphael's cathedral, where it remained till 1879, when it was removed to General Jones's home on the present site of the school. In 1883 the first wing of the present academy was built ; a second wing was added in 1886; in 1890 a very commodious structure was erected ; in 1907 another addition was built. These facts clearly indicate its popularity and prosperity.
Wartburg Theological Seminary-This institution was estab-
934
HISTORY OF DUBUQUE COUNTY
lished here in 1856 and is therefore one of the oldest educational institutions in the city. The object of the institution is to prepare young men for the German Lutheran ministry. Three years are required for the completion of the course. The preparatory work is done in the preparatory seminary at Waverly, Iowa, and in the Lutheran college at Clinton, Iowa. Most of the students in the seminary come from these two schools. Rev. Max Fritschel is president of the seminary.
Academy of the Immaculate Conception-This institution was established in 1907 and is conducted by the Sisters of St. Francis in the building occupied a few years by the Dubuque Female Semi- nary and for many years by the German Presbyterian Theological Seminary. The Sisters of St. Francis greatly improved the build- ing and grounds and the school is prospering far beyond the most sanguine expectations of its founders.
The Cutler Business School is located at the southeast corner of Ninth and Main streets and is under the sole management of Mrs. Ida McLenan Cutler, principal. The school does superior work and is rapidly increasing in popularity.
Epworth Seminary is one of the oldest educational institutions in the state. It is located at Epworth and is under the control of the Methodist church. It is a good preparatory school and has academic and music departments.
Dubuque Female Seminary-Though no longer in existence, so frequent reference has been made to it in this chapter that a short account seems advisable. In February, 1853. Catherine Beecher, sister of Henry Ward Beecher, visited this city to establish a fe- male seminary. The proposition was well received and Asa Horr, L. H. Langworthy, H. S. Hetherington, F. E. Bissell and H. A. Wiltse were prominent in the movement. The cornerstone was laid in July and a school was begun in 1854. Miss Beecher again visited the city in December, 1855, and explained the conditions of the promise of an endowment of $20,000 and library and ap- paratus. The conditions were never fully met and the endowment was not given. Though there were eighty students in the year 1857-58, the trustees decided they could not maintain the school and sold the property to the board of directors of the public schools in 1859 for $12,000. On account of the inability of the board to pay for it the property reverted to the trustees the next year. In July, 1863, the trustees of Griswold college, Davenport, pro- posed to buy the building and grounds and establish a seminary under the auspices of the Episcopal church. The institution was maintained till 1872, when the property passed into the hands of the Presbyterians and was used as a theological school till 1907. Since that year it has been the home of the Academy of the Im- maculate Conception.
MISCELLANEOUS EVENTS.
T 7 HE CARNEGIE-STOUT FREE LIBRARY is the joint gift of Andrew Carnegie, Frank D. Stout and the citizens of Dubuque represented by the Young Men's Library As- sociation. In 1899 the latter association made the follow- ing proposition to the city : ( 1) City to raise $50,000 for a library building ; (2) city to raise $7,000 at once for a lot; (3) Young Men's Association would surrender all its possessions to the pro- posed new library; (4) city to levy annually one-fourth of a mill for the support of the library. This offer substantially was ac- cepted by the city. Committees began work and in the end se- cured the following donations: Sixty thousand dollars from An- drew Carnegie; building site valued at $17,000 from Frank D. Stout ; $12,500 from the citizens of Dubuque; $10,000 from the old subscription library fund. The present building, one well adopted for its intended uses, was commenced and completed in 1902. Mr. Carnegie's donation was conditional on an annual levy of a tax of one-tenth of his donation; the vote whether to accept his offer was 2,356 in favor of acceptance out of 3.238 votes polled. Women cast 1,224 votes for acceptance and only forty-seven against it. The library is in excellent working condition. The art room was furnished by donations. In 1909 the library had 28,164 vol- umes and had an income from taxation of $8,201.93; its circu- lation in 1909 was 102,710. In 1910 bequests of $1,000 were re- ceived from each W. B. Allison and John B. Glover.
