Title A name given to the resource Book: "Sugar Grove and the Class of 1886: Being a Chapter from the Story of My Life by George Edward Congdon", 1911 Description An account of the resource “I cannot remember all of the buildings in town but my memory is sufficiently definite so that I can give the reader a fairly good picture of the village as it was at that time. “ “First there was the depot built beside one of the highways of the township, and opposite it on the south side of the track the usual grain elevator. Then on the north was the store of J.S. Miller and adjoin it on the same side of the highway was a blacksmith’s shop.…Across from Mr. Miller’s store was Uncle Tom’s Cabin, as it has always been called, in honor of Thomas Judd, the prime mover in the founding of the school. This was at once the village hotel and the boarding house and dormitory for the students. However at that time the transient boarders were few and far between. A few rods to the north was Mr. Hall’s store, a long two-story structure, with broad steps in front and a long flight of stairs on the south side of the building leading up to the second floor which was the home of Mr. Hall and his family. For the village of Sugar Grove the store was the rival of the metropolitan department stores. In front of you as you entered was the village post-office. On the right was a considerable display of drugs and medicines, and on the left dry-goods and notions. Farther back was a supply of groceries, and hardware, and on one block of shelves was a stock of school books and school supplies. In the rear of the store was a small printing press, both probably with the idea of giving instruction in the printer’s art to any student you desired it, and which Mr. Hall used in a small way in actual business.” … “And now a little as to the history of the school to which I was introduced…[Thomas Judd, a wealthy farmer of the township] had long been desirous that an agricultural school should be started in that town and at one time offered one hundred and sixty acres of land in furtherance of the project. At that time the scheme was considered visionary and even now there were doubters. It was only after the town had voted to rebuild [the old school that burned down] on the old site and work had been commenced that he prevailed upon his fellow citizens to reconsider the vote and adopt his plans. Then it was that a delegation of citizens visited Mr. Frank Hall, at that time teaching in Aurora and with him worked out the plans for the school. Several large amounts were pledged, a grand picnic was held at which the subscriptions were largely increased, the building erected and the school opened for work in the fall of 1875. The school was called the Sugar Grove Normal and Industrial School and the hopes of its founders are fairly well set forth in the following from an Aurora paper: ‘The pupils will be instructed in the natural sciences, including the science of farming in all its various branches, embracing the history and usefulness of the different breeds of improved stock, the methods of improving and preserving the quality of farm stock and crops of all kinds, also the science of growing crops, the fertilizers required for different kinds of grain, etc.’ “ Source: "Sugar Grove and the Class of 1886: Being a Chapter from the Story of My Life by George Edward Congdon", 1911 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lisa Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Hiawatha Kansas, Ewing Herbert, Printer 1911 FRANK H.

Description An account of the resource “It was clear, cold, and quiet on the morning of January 5, 1893, when a man of medium height and vigorous physique, bright-eyed and bespectacled, his face adorned with a soup-strainer moustache and a small goatee, jumped lightly from the Chicago and Alton train that pulled into Jacksonville, Illinois, from Chicago, and hurried forward to supervise the unloading of a large wooden box onto a wagon. He climbed up beside the driver, and the horses hauled the rattling vehicle a couple of hundred yards eastward across the railroad tracks and pulled into the rear of the main building of the Illinois Institution for the Education of the Blind. The box was unpacked and the contents set up in the office of the man, who now had his greatcoat off and appeared in a high stiff collar, black tie and black frock coat. This man was Frank Haven Hall, superintendent of the institution.” “Out of the box came a machine that operated some- what like a typewriter. It had six keys, much like those of a piano, and a single oval spacing key between two groups of three keys. Each key controlled a punch that made one
of the dots in a braille cell. At the back of the machine and attached to it in a vertical position - where, in a type- writer, the paper would be inserted - was a metal frame about 15 inches square. The machine was mounted on a waist-high pedestal, and extending downward was a single foot pedal. By pressing the keys, and stepping on the foot pedal, the dots of the braille letters were impressed on a thin brass sheet held in the upright frame. The resulting embossed plate was put into a hand press, a dampened piece of paper was placed over the plate, pressure was applied, and the braille characters were transferred to the paper. Thousands of copies could be made -- no fuss, no muss, no type, no hot lead. Frank Hall, whose brainchild 1 this machine was, put a plate in the carriage and tapped out four lines of the first verse of the hymn, ‘Blest be the Tie that Binds.’ “ Source: "Frank H.

Hall: Success through Service, 1841 - 1911" Description An account of the resource “For fifty years Frank H. Hall helped the youth of our land to solve arithmetical problems. For fifty years, he helped the teachers to solve pedagogical problems. For fifty years he helped everyone with who he associated to solve humanitarian problems. And now, after so many active years of service, he has gone to solve the Great Mystery – the problem of the centuries.” … “In the realm of books, blind people were shut out from modern literature of all kinds (except as it might be read to them) because of the vast amount of time and labor required to make even on little book. Here was another obstacle in his path which he made up his mind must be overcome. He studied the three principal kinds of raised print used by the blind the world over, - decided which system was the simplest and most easily adaptable,-- and then began putting his inventive genius to work upon a machine that would be to the blind what the type-writer is to the seeing,--even more than this.” “The result was soon forth-coming and startled the world in its simplicity and complete success. From the type-writer it was but a step to the stereotype-maker and map-machine: and the making of books for the blind was revolutionized. This was accompanied by no blare of trumpets. The invention was wrought out during time for which the State of Illinois was paying him to teach the blind. No other compensation seemed to him due from any source. He laughed at the idea of taking out a patent on the machines. Yes, it might make him rich,- but rich at whose cost? At the cost of the blind, chiefly, the great majority of whom hadn't a hundredth part as much worldly wealth as he had. No, this invention was not for his benefit; it was for the benefit of the blind,--to help them in their search for success through service. What would be added to the cost of the machines as royalty was thus ‘knocked off,’ and so simple was the construction of the Braille- writer that the manufacturers (at the inventor's solicitation that they make the price as reasonable as possible) offered it to the public for thirteen dollars, allowing the inventor to make a special price of ten dollars to his own pupils--those in the state of Illinois.” “In 1893, when, at the World's Columbian Exposition, Helen Keller was introduced by her teacher to Frank Hall, she made the perfunctory response, "How do you do, Mr. Hall?" Her teacher said to her, "This is the Mr. Hall who made your Braille-writer"-- and instantly Helen Keller's arms were around his neck and her lips kissed his cheek. This in itself more than paid him for the invention of the Braille machines -- and he could never tell of this little incident without tears in his eyes.” Source: "Frank H.

[----- Photographers.] Thomas Judd had for some years favored the idea of an industrial school which would teach agriculture as well as preparatory to going on to other vocations. He was also aware that Frank Hall, then Superintendent of West Aurora Schools, had similar ideas. Thus it was that Thomas Judd, Henry Chapman, Silas Reynolds, Leonard Benjamin, and Lewis Gillette went to Mr. Hall and asked him to take charge of the new school if it could be built. An all day picnic was held in the maple grove on the Judd Farm on Tuesday May 28, 1875, with the announced purpose of discussing plans for the new school. History records that 1,000 people attended and all were seated at a table of 168 feet long, and enjoyed a find meal. The dinner was followed by a program and speakers. One of the speakers was Professor Hall, and at the close of his speech, he called for donations. It took just 15 minutes to collect $1,400.00, plus subscriptions that brought that total to $2,200.00. Subsequent subscriptions and the district tax, swelled the fund to $4,500.00. Mr. Judd donated the land where the apartment house now stands across from the Methodist Church. The school and a horse shed to accommodate 80 horses was build and the Sugar Grove Normal and Industrial School opened for classes in the fall of 1875. The average attendance for the first year was 100, of which about 25 were local students. The curriculum at that time included Latin, General History, natural Philosophy, Grammar, Elements of Agricultural Science, Geometry, Bookkeeping, Arithmetic, English Literature and Music. A teaching certificate was one requirement of being awarded a Certificate of Graduation. The original industrial school burned to the ground in January 1905. A brick veneer building was constructed in its place in 1906. Source: “Sin-Qua-Sip” Sugar Grove: A History of Sugar Grove Township, Kane County, Illinois” by Patsy Mighell Paxton.
