Shattuck's managers do not even
call it military school," nor do
they appeal to the public for patron
age on this ground, as if this were
an exclusive or a chief merit. Such
department is maintained, and at
great cost, not because it is needed
for the discipline and controls of the
class of boys it is willing to take
charge Of, for it is not; nor with any
pretense that it is attempting to rival
the United States military academy,
as if it's object is to make soldiers;
nor is there time for cavalry drill or
an elaborate system Of military gym
nastics so attractive to boys who pre-
fer it to study.
But because so much is not under
taken, nor SO extravagant claims
made, as in some catalogues, for what
is done in military way, it must not
be thought that 1T is regarded in Shat
tuck as an unimportant feature.
After nearly forty years trial, 1T is
encouraged and maintained as one OF
the important features. It's training

THE SCHOOLS OF TODAY
Their Influence in the Community
Sketches of Leading Schools.

When Minnesota's first schoolroom
was opened in the log cabin in st.
Paul, the highest aim of the teacher
and the parents of the pupils was to
secure for the children a little prac-
teal knowledge of the rudiments of
education-the three RS, 1T might be
said. Books We're feW-in fact, the
teachers who were invited to become
the pioneer educators of the state
were instructed to bring with them
what books they thought might be
necessary. There were no bookstores
within 200 miles of the village of ST.
Paul. OF apparatus there was none
and none was thought of. If higher
education entered the minds of any
of the parents of AT, it was of neces-
sity coupled with the idea Of sending
the boy to the distant-and almost
inaccess ble-institutions of the far
east.

that of 1904, the changed conditions

Requirements for Admission.

There is abroad more or less of the
idea that because of it's military de-
partment.S Shattuck is intended for
boys who are impossible Of control at
home. The management wishes to
correct this misrepresentation. The
military system is used not for dis
cipline so much as for physical train
ing, for securing symmetrical de-
velopment of the body, a manly car
riage, and habits of obedience and re-
spect for constituted authority. It goes
with and is an aid to high standard
of intellectual and moral culture, and
no boy will be admitted whose char
acter can be seriously questioned. The
instructors are employed for a better
purpose than to give UP valuable time
in the uncertain endeavor to reform a
llawless or vicious boy. Every appli-
cant is therefore required to present

History of Foundation.
Shattuck is the oldest school of it's
kind in the west. 1t was founded in
1866 by Right Rev. H. B. Whipple,
the first bishop of Minnesota, and
Rev. J. Lloyd Breck, D. D., who had
carried on a day school as it's nucleus
since 1858. They were wholly with
out means for building or equipment
whAn the boardingschool was under
taken. They had but one idea, that
of establishing and maintaining, as
| the means could be obtained, school
| of the highest class for the Christian
care and training of boys
It's complete organization was
effected in April, 1857, since which
| time it has been continuously under
the management of it's present rector
DR.. James Dobbin. Its first perman-
ent building was erected in 1863
and was named Shattuck Hall il
honor of George G. Shattuck, M. D.
4 of Boston, to whom the school was
/ largely indebted for it's separate
equipment. The imposing buildings i
/ now occupies were due chiefly to the
munificence of two noble benefactors

In addition the state maintains a
summer school at the state university
and local summer schools which are
held in more than fifty counties.
In 1860 the University of Minnesota
was entirely reorganized by. legislative
enactment. The new board of regents
found itself with an uncompleted
building and a burden of debt. It
was not until 1857 that the debts were
extinguished and an appropriation.
made it possible to commence instruc-
ton in a preparatory department. In
the following year the agricultural
college created in 1862, but never
actually established, was Incorporated
with the university proper, and in
1859 the work of the institution as a
ment was meager; not until 1875 was
it possible even to enlarge the original
building. With 1881 came provisions
for more liberal building, and 1888
was the beginning of the agricultural
department work in the farm at St.
Anthony Park.
Twenty years have seen a growth
almost marvellous. A score of build
tings upon the campus, nearly as many
at the experime nt farm and an enroll
ment of nearly 1000 students are
some of the evidences of physical
progress. On the other hand. there
is a standard of work which gives its
students recognition on equal terms in
the best universities Of the country.
The agricultural department is recog-
nized as leading all others in the
United States.
The common schools have an en-
rollment Of over 100000 pupils and
there are more than $4,000 teachers
employed.
While this wonderful development
Of a public school system was going
there was growing up In the: state a
group of private schools and colleges
! which, as the years passed, took a very
prominent place in the educational at
1 fairs of the northwest.
The Oldest of these and the first in
stitution of higher learning to be es.

for this Institution by members of the

at Red Wing in the same year. Ir
1857 the college department was
| opened and remained for some years
the only collegiate institution in Min
nesota. Coeducation was introduced
at Hanline. in 1859. There were two
candidates for the degree of bachelor
of arts, both women. Some years
later the college was removed to it
present location, midway between
Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Educational effort in Minnesota
commenced with the work or the
missionaries among the Indians I'm
til about 1S47 there was no attempt
to establish any regularly organized
schools but the needs of the growing
white population then becoming evil
dent, teachers were sent out, by re-
quest, by the National Popular Edu-
oational society.
To Miss Harriet E. Bishop belongs
the honor of being the first school
teacher Of Minnesota. And her own
words describe the first schoolroom
in the state: 1.-THE school was COM
menoed in little log howell, covered
with bark and ohinked with mud, pre-
viously used as a blacksmith shop. It
was q room about ten by twelve feet.
On the sides Of the interior of this
humble log cabin, pegs were driven
into the logs, upon which boards We're
laid for seats. Another seat was made
by placing one end of a plank be-
tween the cracks Of the logs and the
other upon a chair. This was for Wis
TORS riokety. er9ss1eg gge table table
This was only fifty-seven years ago
and the school was in st. Paul, later
the capital of the state. That the
school system of Minnesota should
have grown from such rude begin
velopment in little over half cen
tury is one of the striking wonders
of the wonderful northwest.
Other teachers followed Miss Bish-
op to Minnesota and most of them
were retained when the school sys-
tenn sof the Territory of Minnesota was
organized In 1849 upon the recon-
mendations Of Governor Ramsey
Under the organic act Of the territory
two sections of land in each town
ship were reserved for the support OF
the schools. This very wise provision
and the subsequent wisdom displayed
in the management of the school lands
have combined to greatly assist in the
development of the school system.
Progress was not rapid, but the
cause Of education had the warm sup
port of the pioneer population
people largely of New England brit
or antecedents. Acting in recognition
of public sentiment the first territorial
legislature enacted school code
which, tho crude and limited, had thu
central idea of the unification Of thu
public school system. Much was du'

Neill, who was the first territorial
superintendent of schools. In thos

founded by the ngregationalists Of
the state and opened for preparatory
work in 1857 and for collegiate work
in 1870. Its development from very
small beginnings has been rapid and
substantial.
Growing directly out Of the early
work of the missionaries among the
Indians, there was esta blished at Fari-
bault group of educational institu-
tons which have taken a foremost
place in the life of the state. In 1850
Rev. James Lloyd Brock, a mission
airy Of the Episcopal church, came to
Minnesota, and after some years of
missionary work opened, in 1859, a
school for Indian children in small
building at Faribault In the follow
ing year Bishop Whipple came to
Minnesota, took UP the work and in
corporated the Bishop Seaburys mis-
sion, which became the parent of the
Seabury Divinity school, the Shattuck
school and ST. Mary's hall. These
institutions were all established dur
ing the Sixties and during his life
were under the constant care and
supervision of Bishop Whipple.
These were some Of the beginnings
of educational work in Minnesota
They were by no means all. But
! they serve to illustrate the conditions
under which the pioneer schools OF
Minnesota were founded. Not one OF

the main thing was to act-to do what
was needed and to do it we'll. In 1851
Mr.. Neill reported that there were
eight school districts in Ramsey coun-
ty, with three schoolhouses, worth
$1,000. In Washington county there
were no schoolhouses. ST. Anthony,
then in Ramsey county,, had two
schoolhouses by that time. One was
on Second street near Second avenue
Sc, which had been built in the pre-
vious year for Miss Elizabeth Backus,
who was the pioneer teacher of Min
ture near by, which had just been
completed and was called the "Pri-
mary School of the University of Min
nesota." For even at this early date
the people of Minnesota looked for
ward to the establishment of a state
university. A law had been enacted
creating such an institution, but there
were no means at hand for the cree
ton of buildings and no immediate
prospect of securing any.
During the following decade the
growth of the public school system
was perhaps what might be expected
in a community struggling with the
attended by the results During the
latter part of the period) Of imitation
of values and panic and bankruptcy.
Much legislation was INDUCED in but
frequent changes did not help mat
tiers. The common schools were con-
Quoted much as their local directors
thought best and the university re-
NAMED in an embryotic condition.
But with the organization of the
state in 1853 a change came about
A revised school law code was adopt
ed and the machinery of the common
school system, much as it exists today
was put In motion. The superintend-
ent of public instruction was at first
chancellor of the university. Teach.
ers' Institutes were provided for by the
Legislature of 1863. High schools
first came in on the motion of city
school boards; afterwards they were
brought under the supervision of 8
state high school board and grated
into the system which now makes II

to begin with the elementary branche:

Character of Instructors.

Character of Instructors.
With a standard of this high order
to maintain, very liberal policy is
pursued in providing the equipment,
and In employing able and experienced
instructors Most of them rank with
college professors. The heads Of de-
partments are especially strong men
of mature age and experience. They
have kept themselves fresh and in
touch with the best modern methods
of instruction by postgraduate study
in their specialties.
The advantage gained by the en-
ployment of faculty that ranks so
high in comparison with schools gen
orally, is still farther increased by the
relatively large number of instructors.
It is such as to insure much individual
attention, and close supervision of
study. Particular pains are taken to
teach boys how to study with a view
to increasing their capacity and their
thoroness in any work undertaken
This also stimulates interest; one OF
the results being the creation in many
instances of a desire for more educa-
ton, so that more boys go to college
or the professional schools from Shat
tuck than from any other so-callec
| military" school.
