It was well attended, and the music was terrific. A good time was had by all, and there will certainly be another dance next year. MENTAL HEALTH The Mental Health drive within the village was suc­ cessful. There was over one hundred dollars collected by the volunteers. The generosity of the residents was ap­ preciated.

Although the graduating classes were still very small, more "young ladies" were among the college graduates than in previous years. And the proportion of boys graduating from the high schools was also increasing, according to a check of the newspaper reports of a hundred years ago in the files of the Illinois State Historical library in Springfield. Among the state's major universities, Northwestern had a graduating class of 27-nine of whom were "young ladies." The Illinois Industrial university (now the University of Illinois) graduated 23 students, four of whom were ladies. Among the 20 to be graduated by the University of Chicago there were only three ladies. At Illinois Wfesleyan university, Bloomington, "there were sixteen graduates- -nine gentlemen and seven ladies.'" The number of graduates from several other colleges were: Illinois Normal u n i v e r s i t y , N o r m a l - - 2 3 ; L o m b a r d u n i v e r s i t y , Galesburg-six young men; and Monmouth college (with a 295 total enrollment )-32. The state had so many ladies' colleges and "finishing schools" that the Chicago Evening Journal was prompted to remark: "The people of the country want to see speedy justice overtake the editors who head notices of female college commencements with the line 'Sweet Girl Graduates.' " Some of the schools eligible for that heading were: Monticello Seminary at Godfrey with nine girl g r a d u a t e s ; D e a r b o r n Seminary, Chicago, eleven graduates; Ferry Hall, Lake Forest, eight; and the Bettie Stuart Institute, Springfield, with eleven graduates (one of whom received "over fifty floral and other gifts"). Vassar college was in­ terested in these "Sweet Girl Graduates" and the Chicago Journal reported that "Professor Cooley was in the city conducting the examination of the young ladies who are anxious to enter Vassar." He "had from eight to ten applicants" the first morning and "expects more tomorrow." The "young ladies" came from Missouri, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois. The Journal began its story of the end of the school year: "Commencement day has once more arrived, arid is hailed with delight by the 15,000 pupils of the Chicago public schools^' The city then had four high schools Aamed simply Central, North, West, and South. In the 65-member graduating class at Central were 41 girls and 24 boys. Springfield's high school had a record number of 29 graduates-22 girls and seven boys.. At Champaign the numbers were eight girls and five boys, and at Decatur eleven girls and four boys. The Springfield Daily State Journal reported that the board of education had set "salaries for the ensuing year": superintendent of schools. $1,500 for the year; high school principal, $150 monthly; grade school principals, $111 mon­ thly; teachers' salaries ranged from $25 monthly for "new teachers, without experience." to $50 monthly for teachers with five years' experience. The most important event in Springfield in June, 1879, was the dedication of the new St John's hospital building The railroads ran special trains and visitors "from the surrounding country came in carriages and wagons" until "those best adapted to judge of crowds" estimated there were "not less than 8,000 strangers in the city." The parade "was an imposing one in appearance, there being over one thousand members of the various societies in regalia." Following the dedication ceremonies, where "Gov. Cullom and ex- Gov. Palmer" were among the speakers, the visitors were dined at the hotels, the Grand PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, JUNE «. lWp Army hall, and at Armory hall, parallel in 1979: "The neWs A notable event of June 1, 1879, was the death of Gen.
