At a meeting held in Turner Hall on the evening of January 29, 1859, in commemoration of the birth of Thomas Paine, one of our American heroes, of the Revolutionary period, little born in mind, however, by the Puritanic and other ultra- church people, because of leanings toward atheism, the necessity for a German-Eng- lish school with permanent quarters was for the first time publicly exploited.
The seed sown by the "Verein Freier Maenner" and the "B. D. T." as well as by Bauer, Wirth, Reiss, Heye, Hielscher and Schumm, began to sprout, for only a few days after the Paine anniversary the first meeting for the purpose was held, as will be seen by the minutes following:
Before entering upon the official record of the organization, the author will say that for a long time he was seriously hampered in his work owing to his inability to procure from the members of the Schulverein the records of the school. He al- most despaired of ever gaining access to the books, when one day the "purveyor" at the German House, "Joe," accosted him about as follows: "Say, Mishter Stein, sind Sie Mitglied vom Schulverein?" Not willing to commit himself to Joe, the latter con- tinued, "Ich weiss Sie sind einer davon, denn ich hab' Ihren Namen auf Kaufbriefen gelesen, und als ich den sah, legte ich die Papiere bei Seit, um sie Ihnen zu geben, wenn Sie sie haben wollen; wenn nit, werf' ich sie fort oder verkauf sie, denn ich bin's mued' sie immer wieder abzustauben.'"
So let it go on record that the original records of the old school were saved

Eingeschrieben von H. Lieber.
On March 4, 1859, a meeting of those interested proceeded to elect by ballot the officers of the German-English Free School, for the ensuing year, as follows:
Erster Vorsitzer-Val. Butsch.
Zweiter Vorsitzer-Julius Wenderoth.
Schatzmeister-Philip Woerner.
Sekretaer-Hermann Lieber.
Buchhalter-Franz Damme.
Verwaltungsrath (Trustees)-Alexander Metzger, A. D. (D. A.) Bohlen and George F. Meyer.
At this same meeting Messrs. George F. Meyer, Ballweg, and Gustav Zschech offered their services to obtain subscriptions for the establishment of the school.
The meeting of March 21, 1859 appointed a committee, consisting of Messrs. Adolph Seidensticker, Julius Wenderoth, Alexander Metzger, Theodore Hielscher, and Hermann Lieber, to complete the constitution presented to the meeting of February 20.
The aggregate subscriptions as shown at this meeting amounted to $1,921.00, and it was found necessary to appoint a collector.
On April 9, 1859, the original constitution as amended was adopted as next herein given.
"The undersigned unite themselves under the name of "German-English School Society" for the purpose of maintaining and conducting a school in the city of Indianapolis, Marion county, in which all subjects of the common education shall be taught in the German and English languages, and under the following conditions: 1. The School shall be conducted independent of all sectarian influence and strive to educate free moral men in the sense of humanity.
2. Members of the society are, with the exception of the present members, all such persons, who, after having been proposed for admission, and accepted by a majority at the next general meeting and have paid a fee of fifteen ($15.00) dollars.
3. All members must pay quarterly dues of at least seventy-five cents for the school fund. Whoever neglects to pay these dues for four terms ceases to be a member.
4. The officers of the society are: Five trustees, one president, one secre- tary, one treasurer, one bookkeeper.
5. The officers are elected in the yearly society meeting. The same must be announced in one of the papers published in Indianapolis ten days before the day of meeting.
6. The trustees, in connection with the president and bookkeeper, shall at- tend to all business of the society, but subject to the decisions of the society.
7. The by-laws can provide for things which are not provided for in this

constitution, but no change shall be made in the constitution, except by a vote of two-thirds of the members who are present at the two meetings which shall be called for the purpose of making such change.
8. This society shall exist as long as five members wish it or deem it ad- visable that it should continue.
9. The property of the society can never be divided among the members, but shall, in case the society ever dissolves, become property of the city of Indianapolis, but even then said property shall not be used for any other purpose than for a German school.
10. Paragraphs 8 and 9 shall under no circumstances be abolished or amended.
The separate book referred to at page 17 could not be found among the rec- ords of the old school, although the author made diligent search. About July 1, 1913, after the manuscript had been given the printer the author was handed by Mrs. Julia Mueller Thudium, several leaves, apparently torn from an old record, which contained the original constitution and the signatures of the subscribers thereto. This document has been reproduced in its original form, though reduced in size, and will be found in foregoing pages. The original document is in the handwriting of Mr. Hermann Lieber, Sr.
At the meeting of May 6, 1859, it was decided to take over the building lot purchased by Mr. Frederick Goepper and located on Maryland street, the later school site.
Mr. Diedrich A. Bohlen was requested to present plans and estimates for a school building at the next meeting.
The "Freie Presse" of May 19, 1859, writes, that now the ground for the new school building has been acquired; but it developed many years later that the deed received for the same was never filed for record, and lost, and necessitated con- siderable work to obtain another.
On April 21, 1859, Julius Schumm advertised his "Unabhaengige Deutsch- Englische Schule" im zweiten Ward Schulhause, Delaware Street, zwischen Vermont and Michigan, and announces that Miss Luescher will teach sewing, knitting, cro- cheting, etc., to the girls' classes every afternoon. That Miss Luescher also has charge of the second class; that she had taught German and English in England before coming to Indianapolis.
An article in the "Freie Presse" of May 19, 1859, deplores the lack of co-oper- ation of the various religious organizations with the new school !
Is this lack of interest on the part of the churches to be wondered at when the "Freie Presse" from day to day denounced church-going people, whether sin- cere in their belief or not ?
In the same issue of the "Freie Presse" it was announced that Mr. G. F. Hen- ning had been engaged to collect the overdue subscriptions.
It appears that when John Stumph, a contractor in those days, and a man well- to do but withal public-spirited, found how hard it was to collect sufficient funds,

stepped into the breach and constructed free of charge the stone foundation of the original school building.
On June 27, 1859, the German ladies served a dinner, which was largely patronized and resulted in a net benefit for the school, of $86.70, for which the meeting of the Schulverein of July 1 extended due thanks. An account in the "Freie Presse" of July 7, 1859, refers to the fact that several "Americans" were participants at the dinner.
About this time the "Thalia Verein," a German dramatic club, offered to give a public performance for the benefit of the school, which offer was accepted with thanks and a committee appointed, consisting of Messrs. Franz Damme, C. August Imbery, George Mannfeld, Valentine Busch, Alexander Metzger, Theodore Hielscher and Julius Wenderoth, to co-operate with the "Thalia."
The "Freie Presse" of July 7, 1859, announced that work on the foundation of the new school house was begun on July 4, 1859, and on the 21st of the same month the same paper said that the contract for the wood work had been let, and that the prospects for the early completion of the building were good.
The meeting of the Schulverein of July 15, 1859, acknowledged the receipt of twelve tickets for a lottery from Herr Fr. Kuckuk, which benefited the Schul- verein to the extent of a gold watch valued at fifty dollars, two purses, one note book, one package of envelopes, eleven lead pencils and one working table.
The committee having in charge the raffling of the above articles reported on July 15 that they had realized the sum of $103.25 for the benefit of the school. (Herr Kuckuk hereinabove referred to appears to have been one of the editors of the "Freie Presse" at one time.)
The "Freie Presse" of August 11, 1859, contains an appeal by "Mehrere Deutsche," who say that "Eintracht Macht Stark," and then proceed to call a meet- ing of German parents, to be held in the lower court room of the court house on Tuesday evening, August 16, 1859, for the purpose of devising means for a three- room school with as many teachers.
To show the deplorable condition of our public schools in those days, it is interesting to call to mind an article in the "Indianapolis Journal" of August 25, 1859, in which it is stated that the public schools could not be opened before Feb- ruary, 1860. Is it a wonder that the Germans, who are the most highly cultured people on the globe, chafed under such conditions, and labored so hard to estab- lish a school in which children could attend at least ten months every year ?
On September 8, 1859, the "Freie Presse" contained a notice of "Die erste Vorstellung des Thalia Theater Vereins zur Eroeffnung der Saison, unter Mitwir- kung der Turner Gesangsection und Mehrer Damen und Herren; zum Besten der deutschen Freischule, Montag den 12. September 1859, etc. "Preciosa," ein roman- tisches Schauspiel, etc., was given.
In the "Freie Presse" of September 15 and 22, 1859, both Theodore Hielscher and Julius Schumm advertised their night schools.
On September 29 and again on October 6, 1859, Julius Schumm and Victor

LeMaire advertised in the "Freie Presse" that they will open the Deutsch-Englische Real-Schule" on October 3, 1859, in the Second Ward school house.
A conversation had by the author with Christian F. Wischmeyer, an honored resident of this county and city ever since 1843, who is now in his ninety-first year, develops the fact that he aided Victor LeMaire, hereinabove alluded to, in his at- tempt to establish himself as a teacher, but that LeMaire was so absolutely im- provident that it was impossible for him to sustain himself in his position, and he, Wischmeyer, withdrew his support.
On October 13, 20 and 27, 1859, Theodore Hielscher announces in the "Freie Presse" that he will open up a "Neuer Kursus meiner Deutsch-Englischen Schule" on October 17.
The meeting of November 4, 1859, was presided over by Mr. John G. Goebel.
Mr. Matthias Emmenegger reported that on the occasion of the "souper" given by the German ladies for the benefit of the "Schulverein," two dozen spoons disappeared. Mr. Herman Lieber was instructed to reimburse Mr. Emmenegger for his loss.
The "Thalia Verein" was thanked for the proceeds of their efforts in behalf of the school in the amount of $70.65.
It was resolved to hold a fair on the Monday before Christmas, and a commit- tee consisting of Messrs. Alexander Metzger, Hermann Lieber, Zacharias Schnell, Theodore Hielscher, George F. Meyer, Charles Heinrichs, Ambrose Ballweg, Philip Woerner, Franz Damme, Theodore Pfaefflin, Frederick Ballweg, Valentine Butsch and Clemens Vonnegut was appointed to make the necessary arrangements.
About this time the promoters of the school were very hard pressed for funds to complete the building, and many meetings were held. The "Freie Presse" of No- vember 3, 1859, contained a call for a meeting on the next day, to be held at Turner Hall. A lengthy "local" in the same paper set forth that the new school house was about complete, and that there were two rooms, each for sixty-four pupils, etc., and appealing for financial assistance.
It appears that the creation of a building fund was in part entrusted to com- mittees, one for each ward, and to these the officers of the Schulverein appealed on November 10, 1859, to hasten the collection of the moneys, etc.
The "Freie Presse" of November 10, 1859, also published an appeal by A. Metzger, H. Lieber, Z. Schnell, Theodore Hielscher, G. F. Meyer, Charles E. Hein- richs, A. Ballweg, Philip Woerner, Franz Damme, Theodore Pfaefflin, Val Butsch, and Clemens Vonnegut, to the German ladies, to meet with them Sunday after- noon at two o'clock, November 13, 1859, at Union Hall, to perfect arrangements for a fair before Christmas to procure funds for the completion of the school building.
On November 17, 1859, the "Freie Presse" stated that the observance of the "Schiller" centenary on November 10, 1859, netted the sum of $57.25, which sum was turned over to the building fund of the "Deutsch-Englische Unabhaengige Schule" by the committee composed of Clemens Vonnegut, William Dietrichs, C. August Imbery, Aegidius Naltner, Franz Fertig, George Koeniger, Michael Hof- mann, Engelbert Metzger, Hubert Recker, John F. Mayer and Theodore Hielscher.

The meeting of December 2, 1859, thanked the committee of the "Schiller Feier" for their efforts.
The "Freie Presse" of November 24, 1859, contains a "booster" article, which depicts in glowing words what may be expected of the German-English school when once in running order.
Preparations were on for a fair and ball, the fair to begin on Monday, Decem- ber 19, and to conclude with a ball on the night of December 21, 1859, all of which was exploited in great detail in the "Freie Presse" of December 15, 1859. It was stated that "Hahn's Band" would play, and that the entrance fee would be ten cents.
Meetings of the Schulverein were held regularly, as is shown by the record of the same, but for some reason the minutes of the meeting held on December 18, 1859, were "pasted" over and the minutes of the January, 1860, meeting are missing entirely, which discrepancy may be explained by the proceedings of Friday, March 2, 1860, in which Mr. Jose, who had acted as provisional secretary for several meet- ings, promised to furnish the next meeting with the missing records, which was, however, never done.
At this same March meeting an election of officers was held, which resulted as follows :
Val. Butsch-Erster Vorsitzer.
Zach Schnell-Zweiter Vorsitzer.
H. Lieber-Secretaer.
George Mannfeld-Buchhalter.
Philip Woerner-Schatzmeister.
Friedrich Goepper-Vorsitzer.
Herr Balz (Bals)- Herr Goebel-
Verwaltungsrath.
A committee consisting of Messrs. Hielscher, Metzger, Schnell, Ferling, and Becker, was appointed to determine the procedure in opening the school and the fu- ture conduct of the same.
It was proposed by Alexander Metzger to collect monthly dues in the sum of twenty-five cents from the members.
The financial report showed the cost of the school lot to have been $563.00; the building cost up to this time $1,741.81, and the well $21.00.
The committee appointed on March 2, to propose rules, etc., reported, and this report as finally amended, was adopted at the meeting of March 16, 1860, as follows:
