OPENING OF NEW SCHOOL MARKS DREAM COME TRUE With the occupancy of the new University School and meeting of the first classes within its vast walls of limestone and glass on September 8, Bloomington residents and educators throughout the state will witness the culmination of a dream first propagated at Indiana University 100 years ago when the problem of "instruction and practice of teachers in the science of education and the art of teaching" was raised by University President Andrew Wylie. First step in the direction of the present structure, dedicated June 12, 1938, was the establishment of a one-teacher model school on the campus in 1852 to "present to the eye of the learner a common school as nearly perfect as possible in its order, arrangement, furniture, classification and methods of teaching." Next improvements were the establishment of practice teaching for high school teachers in 1907 and introduction of student teaching and observation for elementary teachers in 1911. Each room in the four-floor building is provided with individual and automatic heating and ventilating appliances and provisions for well-directed natural ventilation. The school auditorium with capacity for 350 in its well-lighted and paneled interior, has a central ventilating system with an air washer. A gleaming, tile-lined, 60x90 foot gymnasium in which two of six basketball backboards are hoisted out of the line of vision of gallery spectators by electrically-operated lifts is fully equipped with showers and adjacent lockers. In the man rooms student teachers will have the opportunity to observe proper teaching techniques. The school also will serve as a training school for teachers and as a laboratory where experiments can be carried on for improving methods of instruction. Other features of interest in the new school include a clinic and bookstore, a cafeteria, first-floor administration offices, clothing and food laboratories, science laboratories, a kitchen and dining room, an appropriately-decorated kindergarten and primary playrooms and a library with shelf room for 4,000 books. Faculty members' names of whom will be made known in the very near future, have been selected from the University faculty and from colleges and schools throughout the state.Casper O. Dahle, instructor in education, is to be the principal of the University School.

The sites have been selected and the markers worded by Miss Estella R. Dodson of this city with the aid of Ross F. Lockridge, Indiana historian and former state director of the WPA Federal Writer's project. Erection of nine such markers has been completed in Monroe County by the State Highway commission. City markers were erected through the courtesy of the city. The markers are as follows: Marker No. 1-located on State Road 46 three miles east of Bloomington where the Knight Ridge Road branches off, marks the old pioneer road from Bloomington to Brownstown. Marker No. 2-located on the northeast corner of College Avenue and Second Street marks the old Maxwell home built in 1934 (undoubtedly this should have read 1834), now the American Legion home. Marker No. 3-on the southeast corner of Walnut and Second streets, names the old Wylie home built in 1835 by Andrew Wylie, first University president. Marker No. 4-on Whitehall Road back of Rose Hill Cemetery marks the home of Abner Blair on the corner of Fifth and Madison streets where the first circuit court of Monroe County was held.

Marker No. 7-located at the east entrance to town on State Road 46, names the Monroe County Female Seminary, 1833-1856, the site now occupied by the Masonic temple. (NOTE: in 1940, as noted in the Bloomington City Directory, the Masonic Temple was located at 120 W. 7th.)

Marker No. 10-on State Road 37, just south of the city limits, marks the site of the home of Aunty Myrears, a station in the "Underground Railroad." (Note: I did not find anyone in Monroe County named Myrears in the 1842 tax duplicates or the 1850 or 1860 census. Perhaps Myrears is a typo.) Marker No. 11-on the corner of Walnut and Seventh, names the Seward foundry, founded in 1821. Marker No. 12-located on West Eighth Street located the center of population in the United States in the year of 1910.

Bloomington (IN) World, January 25, 1895, Smithville Community File, Monroe County History Center, Bloomington, Indiana. SMITHVILLE ITEMS Edward Deckard and family of Bedford were here to attend the funeral of George W. Taylor. --------------------------------------------------------------- The friends of George W. Taylor were shocked to learn of his death last Thursday morning. Although it was thought he could not recover, death was not thought to be so near. He has been a patient sufferer of consumption for several years, better and worse at times, he had been confined to his bed only since Christmas. Since that time he continued to rapidly grow worse until Thursday morning death came to his relief. Mr. Taylor was a good, moral citizen and much respected by all who knew him. He was a member of the Christian Church, also a member of the Order of the Odd Fellows Lodge of Atlanta, Ills. Shortly before his death he called his wife to his bedside and told her not to mourn for him saying that he was prepared and feared not to die, that it would be such a relief for death to end his suffering. He then made plans for her future, also all the arrangements for his funeral which was held at the Christian Church, and one of the most largely attended funeral ever held at his place. Services were conducted by Rev. Short of Springville. The six older brothers of Mrs. Taylor acted as pallbearers. Undertaker Carothers had charge of the remains. The remains were layed to rest in the cemetery at this place. Mrs. Taylor and her two little children have the full sympathy of many friends.
