The History of Chicago Thomas Hoyne Manual Training High School
 
Chicago (population: 2.8 million) is located along the shores of Lake Michigan in far northeastern Illinois. From its early days as a Potawatomie settlement, then as the site of Fort Dearborn in 1803, which led up to the formation of the city and its incorporation in 1833 and 1837, respectively, the "City of Big Shoulders" became a major location in the US for various reasons. Railroads and water transportation were two reasons why Chicago was one of the fastest growing cities in the country during the 19th Century.
 
Chicago Thomas Hoyne Manual Training High School was named for Chicago lawyer and politican Thomas Hoyne, famous for writing "The Lawyer as a Pioneer"
 
The following history of the Thomas Hoyne Manual Training High School was provided by Dan Hoyne as located in a book titled "Some Representative American Industrial and Manual Training Schools" by Charles H. Morse (1908).
 
"Thomas Hoyne Manual Training High School
Chicago, ILL.
 
     In September, 1905, the Thomas Hoyne Manual Training High School was opened in a former grammar school building at Illinois and Cass streets, for the purpose of relieving the congested condition of R. T. Crane Manual Training High School, and to form a nucleus for the organization of a new North Side Technical School, the erection of which had long been contemplated by the Board of Education. At the opening of Hoyne the enrollment was 85, but it has since increased to 440. The school has a four-years course of study, but owing to the crowded conditions only the first two years of the course have been carried out at Hoyne. In September, 1908, the pupils of the Hoyne School will be transferred to the new Albert G. Lane Manual Training High School, where a four-years course will be pursued."
