CEDAR RIDGE SCHOOL, No. 4.
The fifth district was divided in 1837, the new district, called the seventh, being bounded southerly by a line from the mouth of Bladen's brook, easterly to the Woodbridge line, passing south of the house of Samuel R. Hickox. The first meeting of the new district was held Aug. 30th, and arrangements commenced for building a school-honse. The location was selected by Joel White, Isaac White and Joel R. Chatfield, and at a meeting held Sept. 20th it was voted to accept the proposals of Solomon Terrell to build a stone school- house, 18 x 25 feet, 73 feet clear, with six windows of 24 lights and one of 9 lights, to be plastered inside and ont, with a hall of five feet in width at one end, and two doors from the hall; the whole to be completed for $175. Terrell was afterward allowed $8 for extra work, and some slab benches and sloping boards for writing-desks, with a stove and desk and chair for teacher, completed this "temple of science" in time for the winter school. It was tound necessary to remove the partition in 1843 to enlarge the school-room. The teacher was then paid $2.25 per week and required to "board around." Board being then estimated at $1.75, the teacher's services were valued at $4 per week, teaching five and one-half days. The next year the price was raised one dollar per week. In 1852 it became evident that a larger school- house was needed, and in July it was voted to build 26 x 40 feet, but at a subsequent meeting the matter was indefinitely postponed.
January 31st, 1868, it was voted to build a new school-house, and Smith Botsford, Ashbel Storrs and Joel R. Chatfield were appointed building com- mittee. The size finally determined upon was 273 x 34 feet, to cost $1,700, including furniture of the best patterns. The school-house was well built, by Ashbel Storrs, and is a credit to the district. Up to 1863 the building had been known as the "Stone School-house." The name, "Cedar Ridge," was then given to the school and has since been retained.
Charles Oatman was clerk of the district from 1837 to 1849, and Sylves- ter Smith from 1849 until the schools of the town were consolidated in 1868.
The old stone building, small, inconvenient and antiquated, is yet the subject of many pleasant reminiscences by teachers and scholars, now scattered among the scenes of busy life, to whom the following list of teachers will recall pleasant memories of by-gone days.

THE BELL SCHOOL, No. 5.
In 1769 Joseph Johnson deeded a piece of land on the east side of Pearl street, a little south of the house of Smith Terrell, for a location for a school house, as follows :

This school-house seems to have been occupied about forty years. In that time the number of the district was changed to six, and in 1799 it was known as the Chusetown District.
.At a school meeting held in the school-house September, 27th, 1799, Lieut. E. Beecher Jolinson was chosen moderator and Bradford Steele, Jr., clerk. At this meeting Calvin Lines was engaged to teach the school six months at $11 per month, or, if he should continue a year, he was to teach at $10.50 per month. At an adjourned meeting, held October 7th at the house of Joseph Johnson, Leroy Tomlinson and Bezaleel Peck were chosen a com -. mittee "to pitch a stake for a school-house."
On the 21st of November, 1803, it was voted that Daniel Holbrook and Amadeus Dibble be a committee to repair the school-house and build an

addition 14 feet long with two chimneys, the whole to be completed by Oet. 4, 1804, and painted Spanish brown. Chauncey Johnson was elected district committee.
On the Sth day of February, 1804, the following persons were recorded as residents of the district : "Levi Tomlinson, Esq., Joel Chatfield, Jesse Johnson, Ebenezer B. Johnson, Amadeus Dibel, Daniel Holbrook, Jnr., Enoch French, Gibson Smith, Isaac Johnson, Amos Dorman, Bezaleel Peek, Isaac Chais, Ebenezer Peck, Charles French, John Wheler, Samuel Smith, Jarvis Downs, Elephas Bradley, John White, Isaac Bostick, Joseph Johnson, Benjamin Beach, Simeon Beach, Hezekiah Johnson, Erazmass Sperry, Ashbell Steel, John Crawford, Lydia Keney, Phebe Dayton, Hanah Stodard, Nathan Stiles, Silas Baldwin, Elezer Patchen, James Leach, Charles Deal, Mary Bartis, Sebrie Molthroop, Bradford Steele, Jolin Shenson, Hezekiah Tomson, Josiah Swift, Lydia Cowel, Oliver Clark, Richard Freeman, Isrel French, Reuben Davis. SERGT. CHAUNCEY JOHNSON, Clerk."
At a meeting held Oct. 17th, 1805, the valuation of "good wood brought to the school-house" was estimated at "$2 a chord, the Master to be the judge of the size of the loads." Special committees were appointed to repair the school-house nearly every year from 1802 until 1812.
In 1810 John Ward was hired for the winter at $20 per month, he to be his own collector, and John T. Wheeler was appointed clerk. At an adjourned meeting, held Nov. 22nd, the last vote to repair was rescinded, and it was voted to have the school kept in Silas Baldwin's room until the first of May, 1811.
In October, 1811, Chester Jones was chosen clerk and another repair committee appointed. On the 9th of December it was "Voted that there should be 2 schools kept in sª District."
"Voted, 2ud, that Col. Ira Smith & Capt. Josiah Swift be a Committee for the south part of the District, & Amadeus Dibble & E. B. Johnson be a Committee for the north part, to employ teachers."
April 6th, 1812, it was "Voted that there should be two schools kept in the District, one Man school & one Woman school, & the Free Money be equally divided according to the time the school is kept." Stiles Johnson was elected a committee " to employ a school Dame."
On the 15th of the same month Levi Tomlinson, Esqr, Ira Smith, Josiah Swift, Elias Gilbert and Bradford Steele were appointed a committee to look for a place to build a school-house and to draw a plan. Several meetings were called and adjourned without transacting any business, except employing a male teacher in the south part of the district in the winter of 1812-13, and a teacher for three months in the winter of 1813-14.
On the 7th of March, 1814, at a school meeting held at the store of Jones & Keeney, it was "Voted that all needlework should be prohibited from school." At a meeting held the 25th of the same month the above vote was reseinded and declared "null & void." The name Humphreysville first appears on the record in 1814. The next winter it was voted to employ a female teacher and to divide the money equally between the two schools of the district.
The school-house first built on the location of the present Bell school- house was long owned as joint stock property, as shown in the following deed given June 1st, 1816 :

From Nov. 9th, 1818, to Oct. 10th, 1325, Lyman Smith was clerk of the district, and during this time the book was kept with a neatness and precision seldom found in the old records.
At a meeting held Dec. 11th, 1822, David Beach was appointed district committee and Newel Johnson and Daniel White were appointed a committee to confer with the proprietors of the school-house for the purpose of seeing what the shares of the school-house can be purchased for. Provision was made for wood for the stove and fireplace.
In the fall of 1823 the price of board was fixed at eight (Yankee) shillings ($1.33}) per week, and it was voted to hire Mr. Sperry, provided that not more than $15 per month should be paid. If any scholars came from out of the district, they were to pay two dollars per quarter. Ebenezer Fisher, committee.
On the 29th of March, 1824, it was voted to hire Isaac J. Sperry for a year at $15 per month, and that he have an assistant for six months at $5 per month. The school-house was hired as before.

Up to this time the business seems to have been wholly directed in dis- triet meetings, and the names most frequently occurring on the record are "Chusetown Destrict" and 5th School District of the school society, but at a meeting held Oct. 10th, 1825, Thomas Gilyard was "recommended to the School Society to be appointed committee," and Isaac Losee was elected asst. committee.

Hickcok; and the north part of the said Fifth School District shall constitute the Seventh Distriet."
At a school meeting held Sept. 22d, 1840, it was voted "that a building committee be appointed and that they be instructed to make a contract for repairing the school-house by cutting it down to one story high, putting on new shingles and new pine clapboards, laying a new floor, painting the outside with two coats of good paint and making such other repairs as they shall deem necessary for a thorough repair in every respect." Bennet Wooster, George W. De Forest and Walter B. Clark were appointed committee on repairs.
At a meeting held Oct. 1st, 1841, it was voted to buy Harrison Tomlin- son's lot on the Promised Land, on west side of the highway, and build a good school-house thereon, and a 15c. tax was laid Dec. 10th.

On the 4th of September, 1842, it was voted "that the committee hire a room on the Falls known as the Conference Room for a school this winter," but the vote was rescinded the 11th. On the 10th of May, 1843, it was voted not to rent the upper story for a workshop, and the vote laying a tax of 20c. for building purposes were rescinded June 22nd; also, the vote fixing location of new school-house. The old school-house was cut down and repaired in the summer of 1843. In August the committee were directed to sell the old bell and pay the proceeds to the treasurer. In the summer of 1844 board was estimated at eight shillings ($1.33}) per week, and the following winter at $1.75 per week.
The school-house was appraised Jan. 13th, 1847, by Isaac J. Gilbert, Ephraim Birdsey and Wm. M. Hull, at $360, and at a school meeting, held Nov. 21st, it was voted that the 5th district pay to the 8th district $112.50 as their share of the district. The offer not being accepted by the district the matter was left to the society's committee, who named $175 as the amount to be paid. The new district was the one since known as District No. 8, and now as the Center sub-district, No. 6.
A meeting was held June 10th, 1852, for the purpose of uniting with the other districts in forming a union high school, without any successful action resulting.
