your town, an honor TO the county, and
alike honorable to the State. 1t is 4 neu.
clens that will bind the citizens of your town
together, and swell the number Of your pop
ulation. Ii has been a query with some
what the old settlers have done in regard to
schools. Sir, | came TO this country in The
spring of 1884, nearly twenty four years
ago, and one Of the oldest settlers. | have
had the honor to help build some three log
school houses, and, sir, took as much
pride in laying up the logs in them as did
in laying up the brick in this noble struc-
ture. When we had completed log school
house, we felt as though we had accomplish.
ed much for the good of the county. II
was the best that we could do. 1t then cost
us as much Of a struggle to build log
building,-in pecuniary point of view, as
it has to rear your stately edflce here. 1t
was not because we did not know any better
that We built log buildings, but because
it was the only building that we were able
to build.
The lad, perhaps, is in our midst, that will
yet be president of the United States who
was taught his first lessons in some of these
log school houses.
! have seen, Mr.. President, in the sprino
OF 1885. some three hundred sayages en-.
camped on this beautiful green in front of
your building, and have watched the Young
savage in his playful gambols, twirling and
whirling his tnmahawk, or shooting his bow
and arrow, and in the evening dancing the
war dance with his dark eyed maiden.
What contrast with the present scene be-
fore us! Mr.. President, it shows a rand
march Of civilization instead of the WHOM
Of the savage. You now have the oratorv
of your pupils. 1t only remains for me Mr..
President, to deliver to you these KEYS Of
the principal doors of the building which
have erected, at once, as symbol that nv
work is finished and as an earnest of the
delivering Of the building itself to the dis.
trict over which you preside.
l do not presume to present it to YOU
as faultless piece of architecture. / am
