The influence of Quakers on the educational
development of the state also was marked. In a
day when illiteracy in Indiana was alarming, &C
cording to one historian of the state, Friends
established schools of their own in the communi-
ties in which they were represented, and helped
to improve the schooling of the pioneers They
also established high schools in the days when
the public educational system had not reached
this point in its development. A number of
academies and Earlham college illustrate their
interest for the cause of higher learning.
Their effort to improve the condition of the
penal institutions of the state and to provide
separate prisons for women is a well established
chapter in their history, is also their general
interest in charitable enterprises and prohibition.
Indiana Yearly Meeting has been aggressive
in church extension work. The Yearly Meetings
that were set off from this body and the large
number, of subsidiary meetings that were as
signed to other bodies bear witness to the general
zeal of the body. Work among the Indians and
an early effort in Mexica indicate it's enterprise
in mission work. The Five Years Meeting, with

The centennial celebration probably will recall
the names of many prominent who helped

sion memorable one in the history of the or

The Centennial of Indiana Yearly Meeting

Friends in all parts of the world and in the
far flung mission stations of the denomination
will think of Richmond on August Is, when Indi-
ana Yearly meeting celebrates it's centennial
anniversary. Organized in this city in 1921
nearly all its annual conferences have been con-
Quoted here, and Richmond is regarded as the
national headquarters of the church since the
national executive offices of the Five Years
Meeting are housed in their own building here.
The Quakers exerted a marked influence on
the development of eastern and southern Indi-
ana, traces of which are still to be noted in the
communities in which the early Quaker pioneers
settled. Indiana Yearly Meeting was the medium
through which many strong men of the de-
nomination asserted themselves in the social,
educational and political development of the early
days of the state. One of their number was a
member of the convention that drafted the state
constitution, and Indiana came into the Union a
free state mainly because of the activity of the
Society of Friends, whose members had left the
