5 The Princeton Township High School had its Beginning on March lst, 1866 when an article by the editor entitled, A Public High School ap- peared in The Republican. This article called to the attention of our people the need for a public high school in this vicinity. In the next issue of The Republican a letter signed by john H. Bryant was published. This letter was entitled A High School for the Township and agreed with the page .fix History Editor's article as to the need of a public high school. Then a meeting of the voters of the town of Princeton was called. At that meeting a reso- lution by Mr. S. G. Paddock to instruct the Trus- tees of the schools of this township to take im- mediate steps to establish a high school was unanimously adopted. After that there was no doubt but that a high school would soon be erected.
