This book delves into the historical tapestry of education in Benton County, Indiana, offering a captivating journey from its early beginnings to the establishment of a robust public school system. The author meticulously traces the evolution of educational practices, highlighting the challenges and triumphs faced by pioneers, educators, and communities in their pursuit of knowledge.

The law requires the county superintendent to carry out the instructions of the County Board of Education. More than two years ago J ohn V. Bartoo, then trustee of Gilboa township, sug gested that it would be a good idea to publish a manual of gen eral information concerning public schools and school laws. The suggestion met with the approval of the other members of the board, and after some discussion the superintendent was re quested to prepare an outline of such matter in reference to schools as he thought would be of general use. Soon after this the work of supervising the preparation of an exhibit for the St. Louis Industrial Exposition was placed upon him by a vote of the Teachers' Association and the direction of the Board of Ed ucation, and this additional labor prevented him from doing any immediate work on the proposed manual. While engaged in the preparation of the exhibit the superintendent was im pressed with the great lack of information about the origin of education in Benton county When the County Board of Edu cation met in May, 1904, he presented this thought to its mem bers. They were so impressed with it that he was requested to proceed with the collection of information and to secure estimates of the cost of twenty-five hundred paper bound books of about one hundred pages each, to be devoted to general and historic information on school matters. The estimates were obtained, and these, with a general outline of the work, were submitted at a meeting of the County Board of Education held on October 21, 1904. An appropriation was made and the superintendent was directed to prepare the work outlined as soon as it was possible to make it complete and reliable. With in three months the chapters on the duties of the various mem bers of our school system were written. During all of thistime incomplete historical information was being collected from many sources, and it was discovered that more time would be needed to make a reliable sketch of education in Benton county. It was also discovered that the space first estimated as needed in the book would fall far short of the requirements of the work. This matter was placed before the present County Board of Education on May 1, 1905, and the superintendent was au thorized to add some much needed space. To obtain the infor mation contained within this little volume many interviews have been necessary, more than one hundred letters have been written, and three hundred pages of law, six hundred pages of history, and more than four thousand pages of records have been carefullv searched.
