PAST AND PRESENT
property bought of George B. Williams, for ten thousand dollars a few years before. After discussing the matter it was decided that the building was a necessity, and that J. F. Alexander be requested to submit to the board plans for a new building, which was not only to be a high school building but a pub- lie library building, and to be built with school funds. Plans and estimates were furnished by Mr. Alexander. Permission was obtained from the city council to expend not more than thirty thousand dollars for the building. On January 15, 1889, notices for bids were published. On January 25. 1889. the contract for the new building was awarded to George S. Brown for twenty- eight thousand nine hundred and eighty-seven dollars. March 7, 1889. a lot just east of the lot purchased of Mr. Williams, and between that and the opera-house, was purchased of S. S. Haskins and wife for two thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars. After the completion of the building, and within a few years the attendance became so large that it was necessary to build an ex- tension, and on August 11, 1897. a contract was given to Robert Sherlock to build an addition to the high school at a cost of seven thousand six hundred and forty dollars. The attendance at the high school June, 1909, was four hun- dred and fifty-seven pupils. The present building is inadequate in size to care for so many, and before many years the board will have to meet this condition by the erection of a larger and more commodious high school build- ing. This matter has been given serious consideration by the board, and the problem will probably be worked out in the near future in some satisfactory manner. The high school has a warm place in the hearts of the people of Lafayette. On commencement day no building in the city can hold the audi- ence who are present to show their appreciation of higher education. Looking over the list of graduates of the high school one can find that. in the field of letters, in the arts and professions and sciences, and in the greatest of all places for woman-the home-the graduates of the high school compare favor- ably with the graduates of any educational institution of the state. The fact that the Lafayette high school for nearly a half century has taken such a prominent place. is largely due to the untiring industry. to the bravery, in the face of opposition, and the excellent management and foresight of the early school boards of this city.
COLUMBIAN SCHOOL.
The Columbian school building. situated on Owen street, was erected to meet the demands for school facilities in the southern part of the city. J.

F. Alexander furnished the plans for this building. On July 30. 1893, the contract for the erection of the building was awarded to Joshua Chew. for five thousand nine hundred and seventy-five dollars.
OAKLAND SCIIOOL BUILDING.
The Oakland school building, situated at the corner of Kossuth and Main streets, was built from plans and specifications made by J. F. Alexander. The contract was awarded to Joshua Chew May 6, 1895. the cost to be eighteen thousand and ninety dollars.
WASHINGTON SCHOOL BUILDING.
In 1899. it was found that the Jenks school building, on Elizabeth street, was inadequate. A lot cast of the Jenks building, being lot twenty-five in L. B. Stockton's addition to the city of Lafayette, was purchased of Dora M. Shockey. September 20, 1899. for one thousand eight hundred and fifty dollars. On March 19. 1900, contract was entered with H. C. Sense, for the erection of a new building to be called Washington school, on the site of the old Jenks building. at a cost of thirty-one thousand one hundred and twenty-three dollars, on plans submitted by J. F. Alexander. The contract for the heating apparatus of this building was made with the Andrew & Johnson Company of Chicago, for five thousand five hundred and sixty dollars.
LINNWOOD SCHOOL BUILDING.
On February 20. 1882. the town of Linnwood. at the north end of the city. was annexed to and became a part of the city of Lafayette. There was a brick school building containing four rooms, which by this annexation came into the possession of the city of Lafayette. On April 29. 1892, lots seven- teen and eighteen in Frey's addition to Linnwood were purchased. These lots lay just on the east of the school property which came to Lafayette when Linn- wood was annexed. On October 7. 1904. a contract was entered into with II. C. Sense to erect an addition to the Linnwood school at a cost of twenty-one thousand and thirty-four dollars. Adam Herzog was appointed and acted as superintendent of this construction.
The estimated value of school property in the city of Lafayette in 19og is three hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

In 1853, the number of persons of school age in the city of Lafayette was one thousand seven hundred and sixteen ; in 1909, five thousand six hundred and eight.
THE JACK POTTLITZER MEMORIAL FUND.
In memory of his son, Jack Pottlitzer, who lost his life in the burning of the Iroquois theatre in Chicago. December 30, 1903, Mr. Max Pottlitzer Feb- ruary 4. 1905, gave to the board of school trustees of the city of Lafayette, the sum of two hundred dollars, the income from the same to be used for the purpose of purchasing a medal each year to be presented to the pupil of the Centennial school, who shall receive the highest general average for the term preceding his entrance to the high school. This donation was given to the Centennial school pupils because Jack Pottlitzer had been a pupil there. The following persons have received the Jack Pottlitzer Memorial Medal :
1905. Eva Vess ; 1906 (February ), Lois Frankenfield ; 1906 (June), Alma Theme : 1907 ( February ), Dorothy Caldwell : 1907 ( June), Bernard Schultz ; 1908 (February ), Clyde Martin ; 1908 (June), Fritz Mertz ; 1909 (February). Harney Sellers; 1909 ( June), Annette Glick.
The public library books were purchased with a fund of eight thousand two hundred and seventy dollars, being the interest on the funds of the public schools in the hands of J. J. Perrin, for a number of years, and which Mr. Per- rin donated for the purpose of buying books. The library was opened in 1882. After this action on the part of Mr. Perrin, it became the unwritten law that the treasurers of succeeding school boards should turn over the interest on the funds in their hands, for the purchase of library books, and up to the time the depository law went into effect, January 1. 1908, there had been turned into the library fund by the different treasurers of the school boards, the sum of seventeen thousand two hundred twenty-four dollars and thirteen cents. These donations made it possible to purchase books, as the highest tax that could be levied, at the time of the forming of the library, was three cents, and this amount was required for maintenance. Mrs. J. B. Hyde was librarian from the formation of the library in 1882 until December, 1887, when she was suc- ceeded by Miss Eulora Miller, who was librarian until November, 1888, when she was succeeded by Mrs. Virginia Stein. The public library occupied a por- tion of the high school building at the southeast corner of Columbia and Sixth streets, until October 3. 1903, when Sally R. Hitt and husband, and Mary Reynolds Diaz Albertini and husband, heirs of Elizabeth Reynolds, deceased, generously donated to the school board, for library purposes, lot three, Ens-

No history of the Lafayette public schools would be complete without special reference to Jacob T. Merrill, who was principal of the high school from 1864 to 1867. and superintendent of the schools of the city from 1867 to 1890. No state in the Union ever made such gigantic strides along edu- cational lines as did Indiana after the constitutional convention of 1850-'51. The schools of the city of Lafayette early took an advanced position in the march of education, and much of their early progress was due to the manage- ment of Jacob T. Merrill. His was a rugged character. not so polished per- haps as the diamonds of today in the educational world, but in the early history of our school system, where battles were to be fought and won. against ignorance and prejudice, the rugged character was as necessary in the school as in the pioneer of the field. Jacob T. Merrill despised the shoddy and the sham, either in the educational world or in individuals. He could damn a demagogue to his face, and yet he was tender as a child, as sympathetic as a woman. He was generous to a fault. He had no use for frills and fur- belows in education. He had a special genius for school architecture, for the subject of sewerage. the subject of heating and ventilating school buildings,

and these things, together with ripe scholarship and unerring judgment, formed a combination seldom seen. He died at Ligonier, Indiana, at the home of his niece, June 22, 1901.
