In demonstration of the growth of the town in these hundred years the following is quoted from an oration delivered at the commencement exercises of the Keystone State Normal School on June 23d, this pres- ent year. It is a study of "The Centennial of Kutztown," made by Miss Ethel I. Wardrop, of Mount Carmel, Pa.
"The centenary of a borough may deserve commemoration by a centennial if the town has been of importance in the history of the country, or if it has been notable for its own development, industrially or otherwise. Historically, as we learn today, Kutztown has been much more important than any of its present citizens, before the centennial stimulated study, had any idea that it was. Then as to growth or development, the town is really remarkable. Some towns grow continuously, develop steadily ; others make a brave start, grow like mushrooms for a time, and then decline. Kutztown is not of the latter class; it belongs to the former. It is not like Tonah's gourd, but like the great "Centennial Oak," just over yonder hill.
"Increase in number of inhabitants is one evidence of growth. No records have been found to tell how many inhabitants there were in Kutztown at the time of its incor- poration. An extant assessment list of two years later, 1817, shows that there were then 105 taxables, 95 of them heads of families, and II of them "single freemen." There were then 69 houses, 47 horses, and 67 cows. The number of human inhabitants is not recorded. After 100 years, Kutztown bor- ough has about 2360 inhabitants, and 506 dwelling houses. These buildings, as dis- covered by a privately appointed census bureau, some of us girls of the Normal School, are classified thus : Single brick buildings, 202; double brick buildings, III ; single frame buildings, 104; double frame buildings, 70; single stone buildings, 17; and double stone buildings, 2; really 689 separate domiciles. Some we may have overlooked or counted wrongly, for we are not skilled census takers. But there are 700 or more buildings, including business houses, in the borough now-stables, little shops and garages not included, and that reminds one of another matter. Instead of
