Edward Eggleston EDWARD EGGLESTON was born at Vevay, Indiana, in 1837. Born into an intellectual atmosphere, and bred in the Methodist faith, the youth with his studious disposition and gift for speech turned naturally to the ministry. Edward Eggleston ' s own experi- ences, both as a minister and later as an editor, and the social evolu- tion of the people of Indiana con- tribute to the creation of his com- petency, and when we add to these considerations his instinctive inter- est in the beginnings and tendencies of American life, we must honor him as, one of the greatest of Indiana ' s early literary sons. The portrayer of the Hoosier died in 1902. antique

The PATRIOT ' 32 Mr. Bollinger. Pres. Mr. Loertz, Treas. Mr. Conner, Se ' c ' y HE community has entrusted the duties of overseeing our public schools to three successful, well-educated business men. They have never been negligent of their duties, and as a result, the Rilev and Lincoln schools were remodeled last summer and made thoroughly modern as to heating, ventilation, lighting, sanitation, and safety. Although the cost was $47,000, it did not necessitate the raising of the tax lev) ' . The buildings were completed in time for those schools to begin with the other schools of the city. The high school has just been granted a first class commission by the State Department of Education in recognition of high standards in teaching and equipment, attained by our school board. The com- munity is very fortunate in having three men of such ability at the head of the educational system and their untiring efforts are certain to keep the Sevniour Public Schools in the high ranking they now hold. iiiiiiiiimuniniiiin Five
