ufficient independence and the growth and prosperity change and progress, consisting of rustic bim| reflective conservatism, Thomas R. Marshall, in once describing Hoosiers, said, I come from Indiana, the home of more first-rate second-class men than any State in the Union. R.W. Emerson also commented on the Indiana Hoosier. He said, When an eastern man is cheated by a Hoosier he is said to be ' Wabashed. Indiana entered as the nineteenth state of the Union on December 11, 1816. The state gradually grew until in 1821 Indianapolis was settled and became the state capitol. Indiana- polis ' name, meaning city of Indians, was the compromise accepted by those who wanted either Suwarrow, meaning a cactus, or Tecumseh, an Indian Chief of Indiana, to be the first railroad .arrived in 1847, accelerating the city ' s l. The discovery of natural gas and the beginning of tne automobile industry helped the city ' s expansion towards the end of the Nineteenth Century. Manufacturing and agricul- ture also played a major role in its growth. Indianapolis has changed architecturally since the 1900 ' s. From the Soldiers and Sailors Monument to the Market Square Arena, Indianapolis ' skyline reflects the thriving Indy business community and the strong concerns of its citizens. I he city ' s education also developed, consisting of both paro- ' lial and public schools. Shortridge High School was the first one in Indianapolis followed by Emmerich Manual High School. They were the first of many elementary and secondary schools to follow. Senator Birch Bayh said, Over the past 200 years we have developed one of the most democratic public school systems in the history of the world, and in Indiana we went one important step beyond by incorporating the right to a free public education for every citizen in our State Constitution. For the past 159 years, Indiana has advanced agriculturally, educationally and manufacturally. It has worked hard to become one of the higher rated states in the United States.
