Excerpt from The Chicago Schoolmaster, Vol. 5: A Journal of Educational Literature and News; 1872

The thoughtful observer sees in the present educational aspects of our State many things to encourage him. Upon the condition of former years there has been vast improvement. Where in past times the announcement of an address upon education would have called out only a beggarly array of empty benches, now the speaker is inspired by the greeting of crowded houses. Instead of the rude shells that once performed the duty of school houses, we have many elegant structures, and a still larger number of neat and comfortable ones. In many of our more important country towns, the public school-house is the finest' and most costly in the place. And its internal con veniences and furnishings are often of the most approved and expensive style. In these particulars there has been a mighty change; and it is difficult to re gard it, all things considered, otherwise than as an improvement.
