Next on the programme was a very finely rendered vocal solo, by Miss Rockey, who never fails to please an audience.

HON DAVID SUNDEKLAND, who was one of the very firgt educators in the city, prepared an address relating to the early history of the schools. In the fall of 1845 he was engaged to teach for a term of three months in what was known as the new and supposed commodious building called the "Red School House," which afterwards received the appellation of the "old red school house." The daily roll call would reach into the nineties, and the seating capacity of the building was hardly sufficient for the THE NEW SCHOOL BUILDtNO PUBLICLY DEDICATED W1TU MU810 ANb BE OCCUPIED NEXT WEEK. The people of Freeport take a just pride in the new and subs antlal High School building, erected at a cost of nearly $30,000, and which was described aUength in these columns a few weeks ago. It was dedicated grand style last night in the presence of a large audience of ladies and gentlemen, with music and song, addresses and re exercises that found a hearty welcome in the hearts of all. It is not necessary to again go into a detailed statement in regard to the beautiful edifice that has been dedicated to education.

Suffice it to that tbeie has been erected on the site where stood the first Union high school, another on a morn modern and elaborate lasting monument to the cause of education in our city. The plans were drawn by Wheelock Clay, Chicago of prominence, and the whole contract was placed im the hands of David an indefatigable and induatrhMt9 worker, who has earned for himself a reputation that will last forever. The wbote work was done under the supervision of Upp, as superintendent, and the Board of Education, consisting of Hon James Cochran, Frederic Bartlett and Jacob Krohn, Prof Snyder. the accomplished and educated superintendent, being constantly on hand. THK KXKRCISK8 were held in the magnificent new high school room of the building.

Though it is of unusual size, it was entirely too small to accommodate the vast audience that assembled. Prof Charles Snyder had charge of the exercises, and on the platform, among others, were ex-Director of tne Mint Burchard, Dr Hewett, President of the State Normal School; Col Forbes, ex-President of the Northern Illinois Teacher's Association; Prof II Hutchison, Principal of the High School; Rev Winslow, Dr Jenkins, Revs Wm Caton, Wardle, Draper, Crissman, Janet; Prof A A Crary. Hon Cochran, Wm Wag ner, Dr Stoskopf, Hon Hettinger, I Kleckner, Wright, Hon Barton, Hon Sunderland, and others Rev Draper, the rector of Zion Church, invoked the divine blessing, followed by a vocal selection, by Miss Rockey, Mrs Thomas, Messrs Seeley and Thomas, Miss Bentley accompanying. TIIK WELCOME was accorded to James Hyde, who made a very acceptable address. He assured the audience that it was through their munificence the sturdy walls were raised, and the beautiful structure completed.

The young gentleman concluded his address by saying: "In these halls of learning many a mind will be trained, while the body grows strong and vigorous. Here, instead of the seeds of disease, shall be planted and watered and nourished the seeds of many a useful life. Again we welcome you and thank you for this beautiful building." The Tower Watcher's Song" was the title of an English piece with good effect by William Wagner, Miss Julia Molter playing she accompain- aient, MISS MABEL TANDY was next introduced by Prof Snyder, the young lady delivering an address that was worthy of all the applause it received, She stated, in her introduc tlon, that it had been said tnat no better means for the securing of a well trained mind have yet been found than such a course of blended, classical and scientific study as most of our high schools offer," and as they exist today are regarded as one of the greatest of our Americrn institutions. The states, she said, are liberal in their appropriations for the support of our popular school system, which is founded upon the broad and generous principle of equal privileges to all, both rich and poor, thus making it as an eminent divine said, "the Plymouth Rock of American liberty." In closing, Miss Tandy said: Ruskin says: The very soul of the building, the essence and meaning, are in its roof. Whatever may be its external splendor, unless you see the roof there is something wanting.

The facade may be as handsome as you please, if the roof is not seen there will be a heartlessness about it which you cannot conquer. We should judge that the architect who planned this building was a reader of Huskin. And so it is with ourselves, if we have devoted all our energies toward beautifying our persons, (the facade of our building, we may say) to the neglect of the mind (which answers to the roof,) the "soul ami essence" of our being, we shall become as heartless and meaningless as the building with no visible roof. The same author also says: "It it desirable for the sake of the effect upon the mind that the roof should be visible, as a high tower or roof creates a species aspiration." Granting this, (the Emmert Burrell, Druggists, wish it known that they guarantee Acker's Dyspepsia Tablets to be the best remedy for indigestion ever made, they Iways relieve headache. i The second annual ball of Union Lodge No 138, of was given at Armory hall last night, Prof Gibler's orchestra furnishing the music.

The hall was finely decorated with flags evergreens, and lanterns, while a bell of a locomotive was the signal to "take vour partners." The walls were adorned with the chart of the order, a portrait of Kate Shelly, the heroine, and portraits of locomotives, the motto of the Brotherhood being printed in large black letters. The attendance was good, the management could not have been better, and the boys deserve credit for so successfully carrying out their plans Heine, representing Kaufmann Bros.

i attendance. There were and Wright, A Knowlton, And John A Clark were the directors. Mr Sundorltind'fl compensation was 060 for the three months, teaching 26 days a month; his board being received by going about from house to house. Judge Coatea was referred to as a teacher in 1847, as were also Mr Campbell and Win Buckley. George Scoville taught in the basement of the old Presbyterian church, and Mr Campbell and Louise Burcbard and Caroline Jackson were teachers at the same place in 1851.

jOontracts for the old Union school were given in 1851, and the following year it was occupied, Johnson being the principal. He Was followed by a gentleman by the name of Markel, who was succeeded by Hon Burchard, who has since become prominently known all over the world. Referring to the grading system, Mr Sunderland said that in Chicago as early as 1846 there was a convention which Judge Coates attended as a delegate from Carroll county. The subject was discussed then, and the old high school was built with the view to carry it out. Mr Sunderland made a general statement regarding parties connected with the schools in an early day.

In 1855 Rev Winslow and Wm Buckley constituted the Board of Education, with Hibbard as clerk, ilenry Freeman was the principal Of the high school from 1855 to 1859. He was followed by A Merriman, Hopkins, Mary Noble, Montague, Tewksbury, Barnum.W Raymond. David Parsons. The latter was also the first superintendant. and was succeeded by Alvord.

who was followed by Snyder, who Das since held the position. In closing, the speaker said: my friends, we have much to be proud of and grateful for, in the erection of this new edifice. While it is a beautiful temple where our sons and daughters may come and receive such instructions as shall fit them for the duties which the responsibilities of the various callings in life impose, it is also a monument of the steady growth of our city, and of the thrift and enterprise of our people." "THE OLD BOYS" was the title of a very entertaining and interesting document that was read by Dr Louis Stoskopf, who attended the old school, and subsequently graduated with honor at Yale. It contained many good hitsithat were understood by the "old who were present. A German solo, by Mr Wagner, was next in order, after which COL II FOKBES, of Polo, a well known educator, and brother-in-law of Prof Snyder, was introduced.

He is a pleasant talker, and when it was announced that he was to read a poem on "The Old Bell," the Misses Maud Snyder and Carrie Krohn appeared on the-platform, arid decorated the old bell of '53, (that was on a stand,) with a floral wreath. Col Forbes wondered if he was the oldest man in the room. He was "one of the old boys," for he was in Freeport when there was but one little log cabin situated down by the river, and occupied by William Baker. Looking at Senator Sunderland, the speaker remarked that he remembered him in the long ago, when he taught school at Silver Creek. The Senator was from Vermodt.and was regarded as a wonderful man because he came from that state.

Then there was Miss Noble; she is now 70 years of age, and still teaching at Hyde Park, near Chicago. The older she became the. more she got in love with teaching. Yes, he remember- ee what a sensation the old bell caused. When it was put in position it was circulated all over the country that the Freeport school bad a bell.

Col Forbes then read his poem, which was full of love for the old-time relic. We only wish we had the space to spare; we would gladly present it in full to our readers. DU. HEWETT, President of the State Normal, was called upon, and, in the'Course of his remarks, took occasion to commend the public school system, answering some objections that were offered to it. Dr Hewt tt is a prominent ed ucaior and his talk was to the point.

Mrs Helm and MissGuiteau executed airs from Oberon on the piano, receiving merited applause for their excellent playing. SENATOU J. COCIIUAN made the closing address. In behalf of the Board of Education, he extended his thanks to the citizens for the interest they had taken in the cause of education and in the new building, and detailed in a general way the advantages it afforded. referred, to the old log buildings of an early day, and spoke encouraging of the" progress education was making.

The quartette then rendered another piece, Rev Winslow pronounced the benediction, and the vast assemblage dispersed. SABBATH SBBVICUS. THEY WILL BE HELD AND WHO WILL OCCUPY THE VARIOUS PULPITS.
