Schobinger 1846-1927 Wfhen the life of a man has given something constructive to the development of his city, that life is worthy of being recorded in its annals. John J. Schobinger, school teacher, lived and taught in Chicago during one of the most interesting half centuries of its development. He set educational standards which are reflected in the personalities of many of the city's leading citizens who feel even now the impress of his intellectual in- tegrity, solidity of character and simple personal charm. When Mr. Schobinger arrived in Chicago in 1873, he found the city rising courage- ously from the ruins of a fire which had made its name known in every land. Even the little country of Switzerland from which he came had contributed 516,000 to the re- habilitation of the flame-swept city. The country, too, was slowly regaining its poise after the upheaval of the Civil War. For the United States and for Chicago, the seventies were in a sense the dawn of a new era. Into this period of youthful vigor, Mr. Schobinger fitted admirably. How fortuitous chance influences a man's destiny is shown by the circumstances which brought him to Chicago. Johann Jakob Schobinger was born on May 1, 1846, in the little village of Hallau, in the Canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland. His uneventful childhood was marked chiefly by his insatiable intellectual curiosity, that impelled him to seek a wider education than the village afforded. In this effort, his mother encouraged him to the best of her ability, and it was a proud day for her when in June, 1867, her son finished his university work at the Polytechnikum of Zurich, passed his teacher's examination, and was appointed principal of the high school of the neighboring town of Neunkirch at a salary of 2,000 fr. fS400j a year. However, as he had borrowed the money for his higher education, and as his work did not begin until September, he set about to earn some money during the sum- mer months. In this way, he became acquainted in Montreux with Thomas Byrd Bryan, of Chicago, a fine type of American gentleman of means and culture, who employed Page 112 ' T ' i Ya
