EDUCATIONAL ADVANCEMENT


All schools in the county from the time of its organization in 1826 to 1836 were paid for by subscription wholly or in part. The first school house in Tippecanoe County was built near "Davis" Ferry in 1824 and this was probably the first school in the territory of the county. In 1825, a school was taught in a cabin on the farm of one Samuel Black, who later was elected as School Commissioner. The cabin became known as the "Black School" in Wea Township. The first school in Sheffield Township was taught by Mrs. Richard Baker in 1825. School was held in her house. She taught the sub- scription school during the week and the Sunday School on the Sab- bath. In 1826 the first school was taught in Wayne Township by a Mr. Wiles. The house was located on the banks of the Wabash. In 1826, Randolph Township had her first school, the term was four months. In 1829, Lauramie Township had its first subscription school and a Mr. Cormmen taught. Hon. James Cole was a student in this school.


One of the early school houses in this county was located where now stands Monitor High School. The house was log of the original type. The desks were puncheon on pegs driven into logs that com- posed the logs of the house. The subjects were spelling, reading, writing, arithmetic. The teacher's salary was paid by the parents of the children, in proportion to the subjects taught and length of time employed.


In these days young men and women 25 years old were pupils, for there were no high schools, and the Academies had not been started. The teachers were expected to "treat" on special occa- sions, especially on Christmas holidays. In 1840 Joseph M. Her- shey, father of W. H. Hershey, at Dayton, taught school, and to determine the manner, pupils resorted to "Penny Outs" the teacher, thereby gaining his consent, in many instances, to treat to candy and nuts. A few instances are handed down by memory of the boys failing to secure the coveted sweet meats. One Friday morn- ing, prior to Christmas time, as Mr. Hershey approached the school from the west, he observed two of the largest boys standing in the door ; suspecting a plot he stepped aside and cut a "gad." Carrying this under his left arm, he turned up his coat collar, pulled down his


cap close over his face, and eyes, and went his way apparently not observing the boys. As he reached the second door steps, the two young men pushed him back and said, "You can't come in here." Ap- parently surprised, the teacher raised his head and stared at the boys a moment, then deliberately taking his long "gad" proceeded to strike at the boys, hitting the top of the floor casing to break the force of the blow, but causing the boys in the door way to flinch each time. As the "gad" grew shorter the boys retreated, and Mr. Hershey advanced until seeing his opportunity he dashed through the door where he discovered the whole school drawn up in double file behind the two large boys in the door. Three sharp stamps of his foot on the floor, accompanied by "take your books" disarmed and drove into obedience all but the largest boy. He sulked a few moments and decided to take his book, too. They had lost their treat.


A school commissioner was appointed in 1829. His duties were to sell Congressional school lands, lend the money, receive the in- terest, and distribute school funds to the Township Trustees. In 1838 an act provided for a County Seminary in every county in In- diana. In 1856 two Academies were organized, Sugar Grove and Battle Ground. The Battle Ground Academy closed in 1882. In 1898 there were 62 brick schools and 86 frame schools. Compulsory education was established in Indiana by Legislature by 1901. The first Truant Officer was W. D. Robinson, of Lafayette. The school teacher always had a problem to face-how to make one dollar sal- ary pay a two dollar grocery bill. The Twentieth Century has given him material consideration.


Very early in the history of the county, the county and town- ship libraries came into use. They were patronized generally. Peo- ple in those days rode miles to a library, on horseback, to borrow two books. When the whole family had finished those, another supply was laid in. Many of these township libraries have found their ways into district schools. No district school today is without its library. Teachers in schools give entertainments in the form of so- cials, and recitals, for which small fees are charged. These funds are put into books for the use of the children and parents.

OUR EARLY TIMES


William Digby


Let us try to imagine what the land of Tippecanoe County looked like before the county as a political unit existed. Here could be found not only marshes and swamps teeming with long- legged birds and ducks and geese, but undulating prairie land in part covered with buffaloes, and, where the buffaloes had not trampled them underfoot, dotted with wild-flowers; also dense primeval forests quickened with the life of birds and beasts. The wild-flowers of to-day can give no hint of the variety and abundance of the flowers of that time ; the few raccoons, opossums, squirrels, ground-hogs, gophers, and other small creatures, mostly what are called in rural language "varmints", that now survive, cannot suggest to the imagination the multi- tudinous wild and fierce animals of that period. The wooded land was then literally a wilder- ness. The rivers and creeks afforded crude navigation by canoe, and an occasional stretch of prairie gave relief, but a journey across the land in any direction was largely, because of the density of the foilage, a journey in comparative darkness. Paths had to be cut with the axe ; wild beasts, even bears and wolves, had to be kept at bay with weapons, while serpents, great and small lurked about the feet or slid stealthily from tree-limbs overhead. Traveling was then a difficult art that only the skilled woodsman and hunter dared to undertake. Even the trips down the streams by canoe were in shade like twilight, so dense was the foilage-"the unmarred clothing of verdure which hung in copious folds down to the very water's edge."


The territory embraced in the boundaries of Tippecanoe County were prior to its organization as a county, densely populated by Indians. The Wabash and Tippecanoe rivers which flow through the county and the prevalence of fish and wild game constituted an Indian paradise. Its wealth of timber and the opportunity afforded by its swift flowing streams in the development of water power, the fertility of its soil and the transportation facilities of the Wabash river, attracted pioneers from the eastern states and hastened its set- tlement.


On May 25, 1825, a venturesome pioneer by the name of William Digby purchased a tract of land and with one Robert Johnson, a sur- veyor, laid off one hundred and forty fractional lots, designating the plat by the name of Lafayette. In 1826 Tippecanoe county was form- ed. The land was fertile plains. The land was for sale, having been opened by the Government. Several rude cabins were built, Kelsey and Bishop's Justice Office, Richard M. Johnson Hotel, Smith's Store, a Postoffice and Digby's Grocery.


In 1838 the tribe of Pottawottomies were deported, having been driven out by a General Tipton and Colonel Pepper. They were torn from their homes, amid tragic scenes and driven westward. The procession was started, led by Colonel Pepper and General Tipton, with Chief Menominee following, tied by ropes, followed by Indians in single file and behind them the women and children in covered wagons. The Indians, being in wild grief, caused the death of some who were forced to leave their dead along the road. A priest by the name of Father Petit, a French missionary, saw the predicament and rode to Colonel Pepper and the procession was halted, all In- dians dismounted, and fell on their knees in prayer and the priest, with a kindly gesture, made known to them that he would continue with them to the end of their trip.


In 1861-1865 occured the Civil War and on the main thoroughfare of Lafayette, clothed in the costume of '61, people met and quietly talked with each other, then passed on. Then a newspaper boy shouted, "Fort Sumter is fired on; Lincoln calls for 75,000 vol- unteers." War, War, War. A general confusion and women began to weep. A company of Civil War soldiers came into view and marched on the field. In 1869 the General Assembly accepted from John Purdue $200,000 and one hundred acres of land, and voted to locate the proposed institution in Tippecanoe County.


In 1898 occured the Spanish-American War and then the World War in 1914-1918.


First canal boat reached Lafayette in 1826. On June 17, 1851, the first railroad spike was set and driven in by President Elston and on June 20, 1851, the first locomotive in Tippecanoe County, propelling itself under its own steam, made its first run.

Ever since 1832, the very beginning of scientific farming, Bradley has been an agricultural by-word. The name "David Bradley" was first used on plows and other tillage tools in the days of Andrew Jackson . . . and, during the intervening years, this name has been the symbol of farm machinery excellence wherever furrows are turned.


Today many thousands of farmers attest to the complete satisfaction of farming with David Bradley equipment-First, because it is of the high- est quality and embodies the latest improvements; second, because it costs far less than similar high quality equipment; third, because it car- ries a money back guarantee; and, fourth, because speedy repair service is always assured, no matter when purchased.

LAFAYETTE TODAY


Situated on the historic and beautiful banks of the Wabash River, a locality famous in song and story, and nestling in a rich agricultural territory, the city of Lafayette beckons with a welcom- ing hand, offering much to the person who is seeking an ideal place of residence, a business location, an industrial site, or an educational center.


Settled in a section of the State which abounds in early Indian and pioneer history, the city has grown to be one of the most pro- gressive and prosperous cities in the Middle West. Lafayette to- day ranks near the top among cities of its size in the nation in per capita wealth.


In the city are to be found a modern public school system, with Purdue University, a state institution, at the top; also, there are parochial schools. There are 30 churches; branches of the leading benevolent and secret orders; banks and building and loan associa- tions; large, modern hospitals; a sanatorium; and the State Sol- diers' Home. Industries include railroad shops, one of the greatest steering-gear factories in the world, a boxboard factory, a safe fac- tory, flour mills, a soap factory, foundries, electrical supply works. and many others.


The city owns the water works system, and offers a motorized fire department and adequate police protection. There are miles of paved streets, and three parks with a combined area of 125 acres.


Many beautiful homes are to be found.


Several factors make the city an ideal manufacturing and dis- tributing center. Lafayette, covering 31 square miles, is situated 120 miles southeast of Chicago, and 64 miles northwest of Indianap- olis, being near the United States center of population. Within a few miles are two hydro-electric plants, producing an abundance of cheap power, and not far to the south are coal fields. There are five trunk railroads, with unexcelled freight and passenger service, and also traction lines.


Thus, with raw products near at hand. excellent transportation facilities, cheap and abundant fuel and power, a populous field for distribution, and contented labor available, the manufacturer will find the city most attractive.


Lafayette has a modern business district, with progressive merchants, and stores and stocks equal to those in many cities of larger proportions. It has all the advantages and none of the dis- advantages, of the larger cities.


Itself beautiful and surrounded by some of the most scenic drives and country to be found anywhere in Indiana, and with all its other advantages and facilities, Lafayetteans modestly feel that they have no mean city, and would so inform the world at large. Its people welcome all who will come to take up their abode, establish a business, or found an industry.
