Page 8 text: “In this 1948 issue of the Milestone, we com- memorate the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of Plainfield's system of public education. A century has seen the educational facilities of our city germinate from a minute seed, watered by endless hope and little capital, into the solid, widely diversified in- stitution which trains our youth today. The citizens of Plainfield may well be proud of the fact that their high school is one of the best equipped and highly rated in the state. This enviable achievement, whose birth we mark this year, is the direct result of untiring effort by many men and women of foresight. We humbly thank them, grateful for their work, of which we now reap the fruit. The en- tire project, however, was conceived and given its initial impetus by one man. His portrait may be seen, hanging in a place of honor, by all who enter Plainfield High School; he was Dr. Charles H. Stillman. The difficulties encountered by Dr. Stillman and his associates in organizing such a revo- lutionary enterprise as free public education in a rather conservative town may better be imagined than described. In praise of their labors we can do no better than point to edu- cation in Plainfield today—it speaks well for the men who gave it its firm foundation. During the years since its genesis, the names of two men have stood out as contributing materially to the institution started by Dr. Stillman. Both were superintendents of the city's schools; both were beloved by faculty and students alike.
