Notities over Lacy McKenzie Sipple

A history of northeast Missouri
by Williams, Walter, 1864- , ed

Emmitt M. Sipple. Monroe City's most prominent educator is a
man who is yet on the sunny side of middle life ; who is the product of
clean, honorable, unpretentious breeding; and who is the possessor of
superior talents. He is a Missourian by birth, but of Kentucky parent-
age and paternally of German and Scotch origin.

The founder of the Sipple family in America was one of those historic
soldiers of Hesse, Germany, who engaged for money remuneration to
fight for the British against their rebellious colonists in America. But
when he reached the United States and more clearly understood the
conditions of the Revolution, he deserted England's banner and joined
the colonial troops. When that war was ended, he settled in Pennsyl-
vania, where he established and reared a family. One of his sons, Henry
Sipple, married Mary McKenzie, who was a direct descendant from a
clan of the Highland Scotch nobility, and founded his home in Somer-
set county of the Blue Grass State, where he brought up his children,
William, John, Henry, George, Lacy, James, Ann and Nancy Jane.

Lacy Sipple (who lived to become the father of the subject of this
sketch) was born in the above-mentioned section of the state of Kentucky
on July 26, 1835. His acquaintance with the text-books of education
was limited to rather slight attendance at the rural schools of his native
community. His choice of vocation was that of a blacksmith, and while
yet in the flush of early manhood he mastered that favorite diversion of
Vulcan. He removed to Bucklin, Missouri, where he became a true
type of the verse-honored "village blacksmith," although the anvil was
planted under a goodly roof rather than under a "spreading chestnut
tree. ' ' Scarcely had the ring of his useful occupation begun to announce
the presence of a new mechanic in Bucklin, when the country found
itself in the throes of civil warfare. Lacy Sipple entered the contest
in the service of the state and under one of the "regular army" com-
manders. He was commissioned a captain of one of the Union com-
panies and thus served until the close of the struggle. Resuming then
his stand at the forge, he won with his muscle the sufficient means of

HISTORY OF NORTHEAST MISSOURI 1901

maintaining and educating his family. Lacy Sipple was, moreover, a
man who was ever filled with a deep and altruistic anxiety for the wel-
fare of men's souls. Ordained by the Methodist Episcopal church as
one of its licensed local preachers, he served intermittently in more or
less informal ministerial work for more than forty years. In the mar-
riage of Lacy Sipple, the family of Dr. Shook, a German-born citizen of
Kentucky, contributed its elements of sterling integrity to the household
thus formed. His daughter, Mary A. Shook, became ]\Irs. Lacy Sipple.
The resultant family consisted of eight children, only four of whom
lived to maturity, three daughters and one son. Ella is Mrs. Charles
Ellis of Weiser, Idaho; Viola is Mrs. C. C. Cupp of Lyons, Kansas;
Emmitt M. is the superintendent of the Monroe City schools and the
special subject of the biographical account; and Pearl is Mrs. Clyde
Seitz, of Natoma, Kansas,

January 5, 1879, was Emmitt IM. Sipple 's date of birth and Bucklin,
Missouri, the place of his nativity. His intellectual development in
the public schools of that community revealed his natural bent — the
activities of teaching — and he turned his efforts toward definite prepa-
ration for that profession. As a youth in his early maturity he began
the work of instruction and as soon as possible secured the advantages
to be gathered from attendance at a teacher's training school. He
entered the Kirksville Normal School, where he was graduated in 1907.
This professional education he supplemented with summer school courses
at the University of Missouri at Columbia and by other "extension
work." All this training has been made yet more practical by a course
in the Gem City Business College, where he concluded his commercial
study in 1899.

The pedagogical career of Mr. Sipple began with a term in the rural
school of Mt. Zion district, in Macon county. His success in rural
school work led to his appointment to the principalship of the graded
school system in Bucklin, his home town. As principal of the La Clede,
Missouri, school, he gave five years of more advanced service. During
two yeai's of that time he was a member of the county board of educa-
tion by appointment of the state board of education. Following that
incumbency, he was honored by election to the office of school commis-
sioner. In that capacity he gave his characteristically able efforts to
the cause of education, until his resignation in 1908 in order to take
up his work as superintendent of the schools of IMonroe City.

Under Mr. Sipple 's intelligent supervision, the conditions in Monroe
City's educational system have been materially improved. In the high
school, particularly, important growth and advance have taken place.
Mr. Sipple 's broad and purposive appreciation of vocational training
has led to the installment in the high school of courses in agriculture,
in commercial subjects and in manual arts. The attic of the high school
building has been converted into a commodious and pleasant assembly
room seated with opera chairs, and a well-equipped manual training
room. In the latter, both the young men and young ladies of the high
school have opportunity to show some development of their ability in
manual accomplishment before they receive their diplomas. The equip-
ment of this room, although not expensive, is probably the best in the
state for the size of the town. The practical phases of the training
the youth of Monroe City now receive extends through the graded
school as well as the high school. Sewing and drawing are the manual
arts that are taught the children in the earlier j^ears of their courses.
Not only have the building and the courses been made more purposive
for useful education, but numerous additions have been added to the
equipment for various departments. The cultural subjects have not

1902 HISTORY OF NORTHEAST MISSOURI

been slighted, for Mr. Sipple's interest in vocational training is not
that of a faddist or of a man of one idea. Literary subjects and
esthetic development are warmly encouraged and are assisted by the
presence of the recently acquired nucleus for the school library — a set
of some eight hundred iDooks — and the two pianos, one in the auditorium
and the other in one of the gi-ade rooms, for use in musical instruction
for the grades. Much of the money for these cultural helps was earned
by the pupils themselves in entertainments given for the purpose. The
laboratory in which the students in the sciences of physics, chemistry
and agriculture perform their experiments has been greatly en-
larged as to useful apparatus. The term of school has moreover been
lengthened to a year of nine full months. The high school enrollment
has increased twenty-tive per cent and the non-resident students number
twice their enrollment of four years ago. From this young high school,
one hundred and one students have been graduated and have gone
forth to take their places in the affairs of men or in the ranks of those
who are pursuing in collegiate institutions the courses there instituted
for future representatives of special vocations and professions.

The home of Superintendent Sipple is one of the socially intellectual
centers of the city. It is presided over by Mamie Fifield Sipple, his
gracious and estimable wife. Mrs. Sipple is a daughter of Mrs. Phebe
Fifield, who came to Missouri from New York and who lives at LaClede.
Other members of Mrs. Sipple's parental home were the following:
Neva Fifield, who is now Mrs. S. F. Felt, of Salina, Kansas ; and Emma
(the twin sister of Mrs. Sipple), now Mrs. N. Byrne, of LaClede,
Missouri. To Superintendent and Mrs. Sipple one child has been born — ■
a little daughter, named ]\Iary Isabel, whose natal day is April 24, 1912.

Aside from his home and school interests, Mr. Sipple is a popular
member of several social and other organizations. He is affiliated with
the Modern Woodmen of America, with the Masons, and with the
Methodist Episcopal Church South. Politically he is independent of
party limitations. The societies of his profession are naturally of
prime value and interest to this up-to-date educator. In the Missouri
Teachers' Association he is a vigorously active member, being at the
time of this writing first vice-president of the division of secondary
schools, of that body. Mr. Sipple's educational influence and his intel-
lectual personality have been felt in many places outside the confines of
Monroe City. Both as an independent lecturer on popular subjects and
as a speaker before Chautauqua assemblies, he has already become well
known on Missouri platforms. He is the efficient manager of the Monroe
City Chautauqua Association. Invitations to deliver commencement ad-
dresses have been included among th,e calls he has received for lecture
work. He is considered a coming man in the field of education from
the public rostrum, as well as a leader in the great profession of class-
room instruction and its wise, trustworthy supervision.
