Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Illinois Teacher, 1872, Vol. 18: Devoted to Education, Science, and Free Schools Duquoin. - The Duquoin Graded School has a complete course of study and a three-years course for the high school. The report of attendance for six months shows the number enrolled to be 542; the average number belonging, 490; the av erage daily attendance, 397. Granville F. Foster is the superintendent. Galesburg. - The evening schools Of this city closed in April, for. This season and we have before us Superintendent Roberts's report to the Board of Education, showing what has been accomplished. The result is very gratifying, and is espe cially interesting as showing what may be done in other places. We have no doubt that evening schools can be successfully maintained through the winter months in as many as eight or ten of the larger towns of the state, and we hope that this Galesburg experiment will lead others to go and do likewise. The fol lowing extracts from the report will be read with interest The school opened January 9th, and continued without interruption until April 26th, - sixteen weeks in all. The school was held on the alternate evenings of each week, and usually was in session two hours. The whole number of pupils enrolled was 117; average attendance for month of January, 58; February, 70; March, 88; April. 74; aver age attendance during the whole term, 71. Of the whole number, enrolled, 75 were males and 42 were females. The whole number of teachers employed was 12, only'6 of whom were employed at any one time. The school has cost the city for teachers and lights exactly $200, or $50 per month. The studies pursued have been chiefly arithmetic, reading, spelling, and writing. A few pupils have studied geometry, and there has been a class in book-keeping and mechanical drawing. The attendance of young women and girls was quite unexpected, and several have not missed an evening during the continuance of the school. Most of these young women are working out at service in the families of our citizens. I take great pleasure in saying that all the pupils in attendance, with scarcely an exception, have been orderly, courteous, attentive to business, and apparently very much in terested. The government of the school has never occasioned the slightest anxi ety. I recommend that the school be resumed as early as the middle of October next.

Download or read book History of Bloomington and Normal in McLean County Illinois Classic Reprint written by John H. Burnham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Bloomington and Normal, in McLean County, Illinois In this connection, I wish to remark that the preparation of this little work was, to the historian, almost a labor of love. As he progressed in the work, his interest in everything pertaining to the towns increased until he could scarcely lay aside the pen. He was aware of the great responsibility resting upon the writer of the first historical sketch, but has attempted conscientiously and fairly to arrange and present an impartial, authentic account of the events of our half century of history. The imperfect-ions of the present work are, per haps, more evident to its author than they possibly can be to the general reader, and such as exist, he hopes will be regarded with all proper indulgence. Great care was taken in verifying all statements - particularly those relating to the earliest events. The writer visited Pekin and Vandalia, and carefully examined all records, being, perhaps, the only person who has ever taken such pains to ascertain the facts of our early history, Only those who have been actually engaged in an enterprise of this kind, can properly estimate the difficulties and perplexities that must be encountered, and it is asking too much to expect the general public will be satisfied with what has been accomplished. Still, such as it is, we hereby present the little work, hoping our earnest efforts will be appreciated, and that our contribution to history will prove acceptable.

Download or read book The Lincoln Collection of the Illinois State Historical Library Classic Reprint written by Paul McClelland Angle and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-07 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lincoln Collection of the Illinois State Historical Library In letters and documents of the war years, Lincoln's humanity shines from the drab horror of the conflict. A poor widow, by the name of Baird, he informed Stanton on March 1, 1864, has a son in the army, that for some offence has been sentenced to serve a long time without pay or at most, with very little pay. I do not like this punishment of withholding pay - it falls so very hard upon poor families. Whereupon he ordered that the soldier be allowed to re-enlist on the usual terms. Again, on March 15, 1864, he wrote to Stanton asking him to see the gallant Drummer-boy, Robert H. Hendershot, whose history is briefly written on the fine drum presented him which he now carries. He must have a chance, and if you can find any situation suitable to him, I shall be obliged. Perhaps the most revealing item in the entire collection, however, is a Small pass, dated April 9, 1864, permitting John Ehler, a boy 10 years old, to join a certain soldier in the 6lst New York Infantry in the Army of the Potomac. On the back are these words, written two days later: They say that by the destruction of a bridge this boy has been unable to pass on this. Might it not be renewed for the little fel low? A. Lincoln.
