Like the ancient Grecian city, she too has devoted herself to the development in her young people of a sound mind in a sound body.” Her founders saw the first college in Illinois begin its long career of service in teaching young men. A few years later the Illinois Woman’s College (now MacMurray) was instituted to offer the same advantages to ambitious girls. During their long years of service these colleges have kept abreast the times and offer as fine educational opportunities as can be found anywhere. Nor has Jacksonville neglected her public school system. The original Jacksonville High School was one of the first free public schools in the state, and Newton Bateman, the father of public education in Illinois,” served as its first principal. Because of her many advantages Jacksonville was chosen as the site for many state institutions. Here the largest school for the deaf in the world teaches more than seven hundred children in the most modern way. The local school for the blind offers one of the few circulating libraries of Braille books in the United States. Thus through the years has the Athens of the West passed on to youth the light of educational opportunity. The orators and statesmen of ancient Greece have had their counterpart in our history. Stephen A. Douglas, the Little Giant,” began his politi- cal career when an attorney in Jacksonville. The college building where William Jennings Bryan received his early training in oratory is used today by the modern generation. Duncan Park was once the home of Governor Duncan, who was so influential in obtaining legislation for public schools. Many other native men have become well known in their respective callings. The fine old homes and elm-shaded streets of Jacksonville have distin- guished her from the ordinary Middle-Western town. So to you, Jacksonville, we ascribe the theme of our book for your not- able contribution to educational progress. May you never cease to live up to the high standards so continually maintained by our Athens of the West.” 1 [7 fr317 Fr I7J17 17 17 r? 17 fr3rF3rr 3rn317 17 17 17
