DUCATION in Monroe County has undergone many changes and has encountered many difficulties. The first schools were privately owned institutions. When the state took over the schools, a great step was taken to bring our educational system to a high level of efficiency. State Normal Schools were not entirely state controlled institutions. They became state schools on the basis of a contract to maintain state courses of instruction for the preparation of teachers and to share with trustees, appointed by the state, the administration of these schools. To Reverend Chandler Oakes, pastor of the East Stroudsburg Presbyterian church, was given the distinction of being the founder of the East Stroudsburg State Normal School. By persuading a number of business and professional men of the community to invest money in a stock company to found the school, he saw his dream realized. To this money was added the donationof a tract of land covering a little more than eleven acres.. This tract became the original campus of the school. The corner stone of the first building was laid in Iuly, 1892 and the school was opened September 4, 1893. The student enrollment at the first term was three hundred and twenty and by Spring, the number had increased to four hundred and eighty-five. Fourteen
