There was no grammar introduced in any of the schools of Green until 1850 when Campbell {{Surname|Beall}} introduced it in district No. 4 - D. L. {{Surname|Keiffer}} in No. 6 and Joseph {{Surname|Harsh}} in No. 2. About this time summer schools, too, became general in the township; and the darkness which so long enshrouded the intellect of Green became gradually dispelled; and the township is now prepared intelligently to vie with any of her sister townships. Green has now better school buildings than any other township in the county. One of the best Academy Schools in the State is located in Smithville in Green. This institution was established in 1866 and has ever since been under the superintendency of Prof. J. B. {{Surname|Eberly}}, A.M. This school has now prepared and sent forth over three thousand different teachers. Green township in its infancy gave promise of intelligence and although in after years, groveling under the shadow of illiturature, it prepared itself to meet its manhood upon "The Lustre of Lore".
