On the fourteenth day of June, 1814, it was ordered by the Board that Rev. Daniel Comfort be appointed a tutor to take charge of the pupils of the Academy for the space of six months, under the direc- tion of the Board, and that he be paid for that time the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars. The price of tuition was fixed as follows : For the learned languages and sciences, $20.00 per annum , reading, writing, arithmetic and English grammar, $15.00; reading, writing and spelling, $10.00, and an additional charge of two dollars was made against each student to defray the expense of house rent and fuel.

The Board then rented of Mrs. Catharine Brent the old log house known for years as " Blackberry Hall," and the lot upon which it stood, and the garden lot, all for the sum of sixty dollars for one year. Old " Blackberry Hall," it will be remembered, stood on the corner of Elm and Third cross streets, now handsomely improved. It was called Blackberry from the great number of berries growing around it.

On the third day of August, 1814, Richard Henderson died and his place was filled by the election of Walter Alves. Dr. Adam Ran- kin and William R. Bowen contracted with the Board to furnish wood to the Academy during the winter at one dollar per cord.

January 31st, 1815, an act of the Legislature was passed in creasing the number of trustees to seven, and at a meeting of the Board pursuant to the act the following were elected : John Hollo- way, General Samuel Hopkins, Obadiah Smith, Samuel Woodson, Samuel Casey and James M. Hamilton. Rev. James McGready, the great revivalist of 1800, was unanimously elected a member of the Board.

Lands had been located under the act in Hopkins County and a school house had been built on the Seminary ground in the town of Henderson. All things were now working as the trustees wanted. At a meeting of the Board, May 17th, 1815, the finance committee were instructed to report the best mode of increasing, and the pro- priety of selling, the Seminary lands. A committee was then ap- pointed to have seats and desks built for the accommodation of the

pupils. The school had so grown that it was found necessary to em- ploy an usher or under teacher, and for this purpose Rev. Daniel Comfort was allowed $250, including board and tuition, for the pur- pose of employing. an usher or under teacher. The rules for the government of the school were very strict. Rule No. 7 was as fol- lows :

" Reverence and obedience to teachers are the first duties of all students. A strict observance of decency and politeness in their deportment toward each other, as well as toward all other persons. Every species of gaming, drunkenness, frequenting disorderly or immoral houses, keeping bad company, being found in unlawful assemblages, profane swearing, or bad or immoral conduct of any and every kind, is strictly and absolutely forbidden."

There were a great number of pupils, and it seems that the ma- jority of them were credit pupils. Certain it was the Board, in the latter part of 1815, found itself in debt, and not only in debt, but in- volved in a serious unpleasantness with the principal, Rev. Daniel Comfort.

The tuition accounts were placed in the hands of the Sheriff for collection, and for the time being the Trustees had to individually pay off the then outstanding debts. On the 29th day of March, 1816, the Board discharged Mr. Comfort and directed the President, Dr. Rankin, to employ counsel and immediately institute suit against him for a breach of the contract entered into on July 10th, 1815. James M. Hamilton, Clerk of the Board, made the following laconic note at the close of this meeting: "The end of Daniel Comfort's reign in Henderson Academy."

From the very beginning it appears that the Board and Rev. Daniel Comfort failed to get along as smoothly as the necessity of the case demanded, and, as a necessary consequence, the influence of the school was impaired. Trustees became dissatisfied and re- . signed one after another, and eventually, as we shall see, the school, as an institute of learning, ceased to exist. There can be no doubt entertained of the great good brought to society, and the community at large, in the work of the trustees, and really, through their untir- ing labors and liberality, a good school was established and taught for many years. There was an outside trouble existing between the Board and Mr. Comfort, of which the records hint, but furnish no .explanatory satisfaction.

On the third day of September, 1817, Elisha N. Plumb, of Phil- adelphia, was employed at a salary of $600 to take charge of the the Academy.

416

HISTORY OF HENDERSON COUNTY, KY.

The Trustees were getting deeper and deeper in debt every day, and how to remedy matters was a question difficult of solution. Elisha N. Plumb had arrived from Philadelphia and his traveling expenses amounted to $59.93. This amount had to be raised by the Trustees, and so it was all along the line. It was proposed to sell the Academy grounds. Then, again, the Legislature was asked to pass a law au- thorizing the Trustees to raise a sum not exceeding $3,000 by lottery. This the Legislature did, but the lottery never materialized. Francis E. Walker, Robert Speed, James Wilson and Robert B. Streshly were appointed to superintend the lottery, but from some unknown cause the scheme was abandoned. Robert Terry preferred charges against Mr. Plumb for expelling a scholar without authority, and again for immoderate correction. The Board adjudged Mr. Plumb guilty, and directed that only switches should be used in correcting scholars.

On the first day of March Mr. Plumb vacated and on May 14th Rev. D. C. Banks took charge as principal of the Academy, and the number of pupils limited to forty. Payments had become more prompt and the number of pupils increased. It was now de- termined to employ an assistant to Mr. Banks, and on the twentieth day of April, 1822, a contract was entered into with Mr. Banks, as principal, and Miss C. Selliman, as assistant, at and for the sum of $1,200, with the understanding that Miss Selliman would take charge of the female pupils in a separate room, under the general superin- tendence of the Trustees and the principal. It was then ordered that the price per session for female pupils be fixed at eight dollars and the number limited to twenty.

Rev. Banks taught up to January 1st, 1823, when Rev. Henry Gratton was employed as principal. Mr. Gratton's health failed him, and on the sixth day of February, 1820, he resigned. Thereupon a contract was effected with Captain Francis E. Walker, with a curious proviso. It was resolved by the Board that in place of the usual va- cations allowed by the rules that Captain Walker (who was a lawyer) be permitted to take the time required by the sessions of the several courts beyond the usual vacations. It was then ordered that sixteen weeks' tuition should be considered as completing a session of the school. Prior to February 27th, 1824, the Seminary building had been used by any religious denomination desiring to hold services. Upon one occasion, it is said that the door of the building was unin- tentionally locked again'st a certain congregation which had assembled for worship. Captain Daniel McBride, a Christian man and at. one time a trustee, seeing this, applied the heel of his unqualified brogan,

and without the use of magical words, bolts, hasps and fastenings flew in every direction. The parson at the head of his flock immedi- ately entered, and in a few moments was feeding his lambs upon such spiritual food as he was able to command from his limited acquaint- ance with the holy book. Without pretending to know positively, it may be inferred, however, that from this proceeding emanated the following :

" Resolved, That after the first of April next, religious societies of any kind be prohibited from holding their meetings in the Academy without the consent of the Board of Trustees.

"That Captain Smith, Captain F. E. Walker, James Alves and Robert Speed be appointed a committee to have the door of the Seminary thoroughly repaired, a good lock put on it, and such other repairs made as to them may seem necessary and practicable."

Captain Walker gave up the school at the end of his first year and from that time there was never another teacher employed by the Trustees. August 21st, 1824, Rev. Azra Lee was granted the use of the Academy for a short time. February 19th, 1825, the Board turned over to James Hillyer the globes and tables in part payment of a debt due him. A committee was then appointed to settle all out- standing claims against the Board.

On the twenty-fifth of February, 1826, the Academy was let free for one year to George Gayle, provided he would organize a school. Mr. Gayle taught for three years, when the building was let to a Mr. Endicott. On the twenty-second day of October, 1838, Edmund L. Starling, William Rankin, Daniel H. Deacon, Wyatt H. Ingram, John G. Holloway and Thos. Towles, Jr., were appointed Trustees. A number of land warrants, calling for hundreds of acres of land had been located in Hopkins County and no attention whatever had been given this liberal donation from the State. The new Trustees above named, took the matter in hand and appointed Thomas Towles, Jr., a committee to make provisional arrangement with Ambrose G. Gor- don to preserve the lands belonging to the Seminary and lying in Hopkins County.

On the twenty-fifth day of February, 1839, Robert Speed was ap- pointed to superintend the Seminary lands, with authority to sell at the best price, taking care to sell in such quantities and such shape as would leave no refuse lands, and at the same time bring the best price. On the twentieth day of November, 1839, Ambrose G. Gor- don was appointed in place of Speed with the same instructions.

July 18th, 1840, John McCullagh was permitted to take possession of the Seminary building as the tenant of the Board. He occupied it for three years. July 12th, 1843, the Board took possession of the building and directed a committee to examine the same and report any necessary repairs, and to devise a plan for the reorganization of the Academy. Edmund H. Hopkins, from the committee reported a plan which was tabled by a large majority and that was the last of the Academy.

From June, 1814, to July, 1843, the Trustees, without the hope of pecuniary fee, managed this property, keeping a good school and fre- quently paying out of their own pockets amounts necessary to keep it from surrendering to the inevitable fate of all institutions without money. A large majority of our oldest citizens were educated at the old Seminary, and very many yet considered young men learned the primary branches in that school.

A debt of gratitude is due to those old men, who toiled and self- sacrificed for the good of the youths of the town and surrounding country, which can never be paid, for they have gone never to return. No school was taught after the reign of Mr. McCullagh, at least so far as the Trustees were concerned. The record of the school was a high one, and perhaps no institution was ever better managed or more closely guarded in all of its important points.

On the eleventh day of June, 1853, the Trustees leased the Sem- inary lot to D. R. Burbank for $15 per annum. June 10th, 1854, the power of attorney given Ambrose Gordon, of Hopkins County, was revoked and Henry J. Eastin appointed agent of the Board, with power to investigate the landed interest, but more especially the coal interest in Hopkins County, and to settle with Mr. Gordon for lands sold by him. From this time on to 1868 the Board of Trustees were as vigilant as possible, yet with all their watchfulness land sharks and timber thieves continued to annoy them. A large number of acres had been sold, and in many instances to worthless parties. Suits had to be instituted and the lands reclaimed. The expense of this litigation and the expense of an agent and surveyor continually watching squatters and unscrupulous settlers, was necessarily heavy, and not until after the war were the lands considered valuable.

On the tenth of April, 1868, William Rankin, former Treasurer of the Board, tendered his report of moneys and notes on hand. The following is a copy :

On the fifteenth day of March, 1869, the Henderson High School was incorporated, and on the same day an act to organize and estab- lish a system of public schools in Henderson was passed. Section fifteen of the act, so far as the same refers to the Henderson Aca- demy is here given :

" The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Henderson shall pro- vide the funds for building the school houses and paying all expenses of said public schools, and for that purpose an act entitled an act to establish an ' Academy ' in the town of Henderson, in Henderson County, and the several acts amendatory thereof be and they are hereby repealed, and that all the property, money, rights and credits of the said Henderson Academy be and they are hereby vested in the Board of Trustees created by this act, and the said Board of Trustees are authorized to sell and convey all the real estate and interest therein thus transferred to them and apply the proceeds thereof, and also any money or credits now held by said academy or belonging to it. and any money otherwise provided by this act to the erection of school houses in the City of Henderson."

In obedience to this act, on the twenty-first day of January, 1871 , the Treasurer was directed to pay over to the Trustees of the Henderson High School all of the money and notes held by him as Treasurer of the Academy.

The Trustees of the Henderson Public Schools, proceeding under this act, were prompt in demanding of the Trustees of the Henderson Seminary the funds and lands held by them. The demand was as promptly rejected. Suit was then instituted for the property, and in the due course of time, after much litigation, the same was compro- mised to the satisfaction of all parties concerned. Since that time

420

HISTORY OF HENDERSON COUNTY, KY,

the property has been controlled by the Board of Trustees of the Henderson High School, composed of the Trustees of the Henderson Public Schools and three members appointed by the County Court.

Of late years all of the Hopkins lands have been sold, and recently the lot on the corner of Fourth and Elm Streets in the city, was disposed of at a good round sum. The fund now in the hands of R. E. Cook, Treasurer of the High School Board, amounts to twenty- two thousand and five hundred dollars. Nineteen thousand invested in bonds and three thousand five hundred held in notes of the Ohio Valley Railway Company. Thus it will be seen that after a period of nearly seventy-five years of vexation of spirit, the original trustees and their successors in office have succeeded in saving a handsome school fund, which land pirates and other genteel robbers spent years in trying to get their iron grasp upon. As it is, many hundred acres of land were lost, but to the fidelity of the old trustees all honor is due for securing what is left.

HENDERSON HIGH SCHOOL.

Thus it will be seen that out of the old Henderson Academy came the present high school, and that the property originally held by the Trustees of the old academy is now held by the high school board. On the fifteenth day of March, 1869, the high school was chartered and on the first day of May, 1873, the following named met and organized as the Board of Trustees : E. L. Starling, Jr., President ; S. B. Vance, G. M. Priest, Dr. P. Thompson, John Reichert, C. Bailey, John B. Hart and Jacob F. Mayer, Trustees on behalf of the city ; Larkin White, Henry F. Turner and George W. McClure on the part of the county. The county is equally interested with the city in this school.

This magnificent institution has proven a great blessing to the youth of the city and county. Its educational advantages are of the highest order and terms very reasonable. In fact, so much so no young man or woman need go without a first-class education. There are two competent teachers employed, a principal and assistant, under the supervision and control of the Superintendent of the public school.

422

HISTORY OF HENDERSON COUNTY, KY.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.

On the first day of June, 1869, an act was passed, incorporating the Henderson Public School, and authorizing by a majority vote of the citizens, the issue of fifty thousand dollars of city bonds for the purpose of erecting a suitable building for school purposes. As soon thereafter as possible, an election was ordered and the act submitted to the people for their ratification or rejection.

The desire on the part of the people for greater and more liberal education of the youth had become widespread and almost unanimous, consequently the act was ratified by a large majority vote. The Council thereupon met and directed the issuing of the city bonds to the amount of $50,000, and the following Board of Trustees were elected : A. H. Talbott, Jacob Held, L. H. Lyne, J. F. Mayer, James F. Clay, Dr. P. Thompson, John B. Hart and P. B. Matthews ; E. L. Starling, President ex officio. On the fifteenth day of June, 1869, the bonds were issued and were soon after sold at par. On the ninth day of July, 1869, the Board purchased of John W. Alves 158x300 feet of ground on the corner of Elm and Green Streets, paying him therefor the sum of six thousand six hundred dollars cash. A. H. Talbott, a member of the Board, was sent to Louisville to investigate and secure a plan and specifications for a suitable school building. He contracted with A. H. Clark, an architect of prominence, and soon thereafter the plan was adopted by the Board and the building com- menced. In 1870 the handsome and commodious building now standing on the corner of Green and Center Streets was completed, and the first school opened in September of that year.

This building is a three-story brick with basement. It contains fourteen large rooms, with an assembly room of double size. It is supplied with the latest and most improved furniture, slate black boards, etc. There are thirteen teachers connected with the public schools, and two with the high school. The rooms are graded and presided over by excellent teachers. The children of the city are educated free of charge, while non-resident pupils are taxed a small tuition fee. The attendance is large, every room being well filled. This school is justly regarded as one of the best of its class in the State-a fine education is offered to any and every child who will re- ceive it. Prof. Maurice Kirby, now principal of the Louisville Mail High School, was elected first Superintendent and Miss Lydia Hamp- ·, ton, now principal of the Hampton Female College, Louisville, prin cipal of the high school. The corps of teachers employed were mostly_

trained in the finest schools of the country, and from that beginning the school took, and has maintained a high rank among the educa- tional institutions of the State.

Before another history of Henderson is written, we shall have, perhaps, another public school and high school building surpassing the splendid structure, now the pride of the city. Prof. Edward Clark, the present superintendent, is a gentleman of superior learning, a teacher of ability and a man of most excellent executive judgment, and very popular with both teachers and pupils. On the sixth day of May, 1878, the Trustees of the German school, then being taught in their school building on corner Third and Ingram Streets, donated the entire property to the public school and closed their school.

The following is a list of the Trustees of the Public and High Schools from their beginning to the present time :

HENDERSON FEMALE SEMINARY.

MISS MARY L. M'CULLAGH, PRINCIPAL.

Following in the footsteps of her distinguished father, Rev. John McCullagh, who taught in Henderson for many years, and to whom a majority of the young men of the town, at that time, owe their educa- tian, Miss McCullagh conceived the idea, in 1879, of establishing upon a permanent basis a first-class female seminary-a seminary from which young ladies could be graduated with the highest honor, and enter society fully equipped for its severest tests. To this end, there- fore, she applied for, and was granted by the Legislature of Kentucky, on the twenty-seventh day of February, 1880, a charter, liberal in its provisions, and confering upon her all the right given any of the col- leges of the State. Under this charter Miss McCullagh was recog- nized as principal of the seminary, and the following named gentle- men appointed directors : Hon. H. F. Turner, James R. Barrett, Dr. W. M. Hanna, Colonel A. S. Winstead, Hon. John Young Brown, Thomas Soaper, Ben. C. Redford, David Clark and James S Alves. With this Board of Directors, composed as it was of the very best material to be found in the community, and Miss McCullagh as prin- cipal, the seminary could not be expected to prove less than a splen- did success, and such it has been from its commencement. The school has been largely patronized by the best people of the city, the number of pupils last term aggregating in English and the languages seventy-six. In vocal and instrumental music fifty-six, and in drawing and painting nine.
