It was here that Indians came to drink of the waters given by the Great Spirit, and hunters lingered near with bows and arrows awaiting the famishing deer. Nearby buffalo wallows showed where these large animals rolled to coat themselves with mud as protection against the blood sucking greenhead flies. Early settlers sank barrels over this spring and the everflowing water bubbled up though all neighborhood wells were dry. Now a concrete tank and trough have been placed there in recent years by the road commissioner. The Story of McLEAN COUNTY And Its Schools WILLIAM B.

S'Her influence has endured and I shall never forget the— "V "Beautiful home where my childhood was spent. ^ Beautiful skies where the rainbow oft bent. ^ Beautiful hills echoing whippoorwills song,^ ^Beautiful streamlets running zigzag along." About The Author In my boyhood while attending Fletcher School in Blue Mound Town- ship, it was my privilege and pleasure to share my more abundant books and often my desk with Billie Brigham who was a younger pupil. Pleasurable were the occasions when the two of us were sent by the teacher to bring drinking water from the spring one-half mile away. During the seasons when our services were needed on the farm, schooling was second in im- portance. Our friendship has remained intact through these many years, since we were both engaged in educational work. Billie continues to accomplish important tasks, such as the preparation of this volume. Walter Dill Scott, President Emeritus, Northwestern University William B. Brigham was born on a farm in Blue Mound Township in 1874, son of Benajah and Elizabeth Sharer, who had settled on the prairie in 1867. He attended the rural schools, began teaching in 1894, and retired in 1943 as County Superintendent of Schools. In 1902 he married Emma C. Wissmiller. A daughter, Mildred Dodds, is a teacher living at White Plains, New York. With a keen insight into problems facing teachers and school officers, he proved a wise counselor and friend of fair judgment to those who sought his aid. He has supported many worthwhile projects in Bloomington and McLean County—scouting, gardening, eflforts in World Wars I and II, bird house building, soil conservation. Home and Farm Bureaus, 4-H Clubs, Indian lore, local history, placing of historical markers and other work of the McLean County Historical Society, the semi-centennial and centennial celebrations of Bloomington, McLean County Centennial, school homecomings and other local celebrations. This volume is a tribute to his ability to ferret facts and to painstakingly record them for posterity. Much knowledge was gained through his many contacts with humanity, and, he is to be commended for his searching mind, ready help, and variety of interests—all of which were evidenced by his ability to inspire teachers and pupils "to make this year better than the last". Dana F. Rollins, Former Member, McLean County Non-High School Board Preface Data collected over a period of more than forty years is herein presented. It is the saga of the free public schools of McLean County, interwoven with stories of this great country's growth during nearly a century and a quarter. Although devoted largely to educational history of the County, the volume is not exhaustive of the subject. Enough, however, has been given to enable the reader to trace the growth and development of the school system. Space does not permit listing names of thousands of young men and women who helped further the cause of education as teachers. Neither has mention been made of the many school officers who so ably served at a sacrifice in diflferent capacities. Countless other persons, throughout the county have assisted in accomplishing worth-while community projects and school enterprises Grateful acknowledgment is given the assistance of Orlin C. Spicer, Librarian, Illinois Wesleyan University; Inez Dunn, Custodian, McLean County Historical Society; Clyde Hudelson, Head of Agriculture Depart- ment, Illinois State Normal University; Clarence Ropp, 4-H Club Leader and Farm Bureau Officer; Clara R. Brian, former McLean County Home Advisor; Thelma Van Ness Breen, Librarian, Withers Public Library; Paul V. Hudelson, United States Department of Agriculture; Ethel M. Sinclair, Daily Pantagraph; Nina Spicer, Lois Bright Brown, Elaine Wiese, typists. Through no fault of the author or of those consulted in the research, errors in names or credits may appear. The author would be grateful for assistance in eliminating these in historical records. Glayds Lantz, who served so well as my assistant for more than ten years, has helped in the preparation of much of this manuscript. Special acknowledgment is given Julius ("Jake") Klemm, who for years has said, "Bill, the anthology of the one-room school must be written, and you are the one to do it." His insistence and encouragement is largely responsible for this publication. William B.

  • Charles Mason First New Orleanian to Play Big League Ball

    Charles Mason First New Orleanian to Play Big League Ball

    A Schott From The Bleachers Charles Mason First New Orleanian to Play Big League Ball by Arthur O. Schott Listed on the roster of major league players is one Charles E. Mason. He appeared in a total of 21 games, hitting .183, with 15 hits in 82 times at bat. His career began in the old National Association (a predecessor of the National League) on April 26, 1875, with the Centennials of Philadelphia. After twelve games there, Mason went to the Washington club in the same league for eight games. Mason’s career ended in 1883 when “base ball” was still being written as two words. He appeared in the old American Association major league. He made one hit in two times at bat (a .500 average for his short career there). Why is this seemingly insignificant performance so long ago worthy of mention? Charles Mason was born on June 25, 1853 in New Orleans, Louisiana, and died October 21, 1936 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. That fact, coupled with his short major league career, entitles him to a record that can never be equaled: he was the first New Orleans native to play in a league of major classification. The accompanying box score is that of Charles Mason’s first game, when the New Orleans native played right field for the Centennials and contributed two hits in four times at bat.

PRINT (Over 50,000 circulation) Alana Semuels, Los Angeles Times. Judges’ comments: In a year in which no story mattered more than the pain caused by the economic downturn, Semuels nonetheless found fresh and engaging ways to bring a heavily covered story to life. Whether profiling a dying lumber town or a booming community of pot farmers, Semuels brought the economy to life in human terms and took a story often reduced to lifeless statistics and made it viscerally real. Her story about the web of connection linking a handful of the recession’s victims was masterful storytelling. And listen to this lede from the aforementioned pot-growing story: “Education has long been preached as a way to keep kids away from drugs. It’s the walk to school that has Superintendent Tom Barnett worried.” 2nd: Christine Pelisek, LA Weekly HM: Patrick Range McDonald, LA Weekly A2. PRINT (Under 50,000 circulation) Greg Katz, Los Angeles Daily Journal. Judges’ comments: Mr. Katz work uncovering the startling lack of basic civil rights in California’s secretive parole system will leave you speechless.
