The Feoffees of the first seven years, who were in charge of the first school, were Elder John Hunting, Eleazer Lusher, Francis Chickering, John Dwight, and Michael Powell. Ralph Wheelock, the first schoolmaster, was educated at Clare College, Cam- bridge, England, M. A. 1631, and served as Deputy to the General Court in 1639 and 1640. Eleazer Lusher, a Feoffee, and a man of affairs in the Town and Colony, was also a Deputy to the General Court most of the time from 1640 to 1647. In the latter year the Court passed a statute establishing a system of education throughout the Towns of the Bay Colony. This became a gradual feature of progress in the advance of civilization westward; but it waited for the guiding influence of Horace Mann as noted above.
The passer-by will notice on the Church Green near the Meeting House of the First Church a bronze tablet, erected by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on June 17, 1898, to commemorate the establishment of this school. The late Don Gleason Hill, Esq., then president of the Dedham Historical Society, delivered a fitting address on that date. Mr. Charles E. Mills drew the accompanying view, used here by his courtesy. The names of the scholars are given in the lists above. Thomas Fisher built the Meeting House, and died before it was completed. Shingles, in 1651, replaced the thatch on this building, and were used then on the school house
The Church Green was the center of the Town's activities for more than two hundred years. The Meeting House was our first Town House until 1828, used for all Town and Church purposes. A suit-at-law was decided against the Town in the early 20's as to its right to use the school house standing on Church land. The build-

ing was soon taken down. A lot for the second Town House, on Bullard Street, was leased from the Church at a yearly rental of $8.88. The building erected on it was used for town purposes until September 29, 1868, when the present "Memorial Hall" was dedicated.
This Third Town House, in Dedham Square was built under a vote passed by the Town Meeting held on May 7, 1866, the purposes of which were to provide a place for the transaction of all the public business of the town, and to provide a. suitable "memorial" in some prominent and enduring form to the soldiers of Dedham who died in the service of our country during the Rebellion. Is "Memorial Hall" serving its mission today as a loyally respected memorial, and as designated for its proper use by the Town?
Other interesting features of our history are noted on an accompanying page. Some of our historic spots are now in the possession of the Dedham Historical Society: Powder Rock, the Avery Oak, and the land on which the Dedham Boat Club stood whose gift is told in the accompanying views. Mr. E. Vernon Cormerais sponsored this gift to the Society in behalf of the Club, and gave an interesting and detailed history of the Club at the May meeting of the Historical Society in 1935, and the Society expressed its appreciation of this valued addition to its property.

A Brief Financial History of Dedham
The financial history of early Dedham is similar to other towns of the New England colonies. Money was scarce, for whatever supply was brought with the first settlers soon found its way back across the Atlantic to England in spite of the decree that "no planter ... returning for England, shall carry either money or beaver with him, without leave of the Governor."
Trade was carried on in those remote times by barter. In transactions with the Indian wampum or wampumpeag, beads made out of quahaug and periwinkle shells, were used which with beaver skins came to be the common currency of the Colonists. Musket balls were used for change in 1636, and were legal tender. In fact products of all kinds served as barter currency. A man in those days could pay for a meal with about 10 pounds of tobacco, and this system was carried so far that admission to an entertainment could be paid for in fish.
Coin did not come into general use until about 1652, when the mint was established at Boston, and the first issue of paper money in an American Colony was emitted in Massachusetts in 1690.
At the beginning of the Revolution, the Colonies were said to have had about 12 million dollars in coin in circulation but this supply almost entirely disappeared through purchase of foreign goods and supplies. Almost the first move of the Continental Congress was to issue paper currency, but it lacked the power to back it up with taxation. So these first issues were apportioned among the states which were asked to raise the necessary money by taxation which the states neglected to do. This made the Continental currency vastly inferior to the bills of credit of the Colonies which were secured by direct taxation and therefore greatly preferred by the people. The story of how Congress struggled frantically to sustain the various issues of bills is a pitiful one. Over $300,000,000 was issued during the war and the depreciation of these bills of credit was drastic. Finally, when it took $1000 in these bills to obtain one Spanish milled dollar, it practically ceased to circulate. In 1786 Congress redeemed $168,280,219 of these bills for about one cent of each dollar of face value.
Thus it is easy to see that along with other New England towns the inhabitants of Dedham from the time of its founding, until after the Revolu- tion, rarely enjoyed the benefits of a sound currency. There were no banks then, as we know them, even in Boston until 1784 and at Dedham the town's

funds were handled by "trustees" who were greatly handicapped by the unstable state of the various forms of currency then in circulation. Follow- ing the lead set by the Massachusetts Bank, which was chartered in 1784, banks sprang up in various communities shortly after the turn of the 19th century.
Dedham's First Bank
Dedham at this time was one of the principal shire towns of Massachu- setts and it was not long before the need for a bank led to definite action by leading citizens of the town. On March 21, 1814, over 122 years ago, the first Dedham bank was organized as a state bank at a meeting held at the Tavern of Martin Marsh. This bank was called the Dedham Bank, and at the first meeting of the members and stockholders Willard Gay, James Rich- ardson, Jabez Chickering, Phineas Ellis and Elijah Crane were chosen directors. On March 25, Willard Gay was chosen president and Jabez Chickering cashier. The first quarters of the bank were two rooms in the north end of the dwelling house of Captain Nathaniel Guild. It was also voted to build a suitable stone vault for the bank's usc, 8 feet long, 6 feet wide and 7 feet in height. The president and Elijah Crane were chosen to procure doors for the vault. The overseeing of alterations and construction work, and the procuring of such books, furniture and stationery as might be needed were left to various members of the Board of Directors. The bank was to be opened from 10 to 12 o'clock in the forenoon and from 1 to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, every day except Sunday, Public Feasts, Thanks- giving Day, General Election, Fourth of July, Commencement Day at Har- vard and on the day of election of the Governor and Members of Congress.
Friday was the day for discounts. The first salary of the president was $200 per year, while the cashier received $1700. The original capital was $50,000. The first issue of bank notes was made April 28, 1815. So many people insisted on doing business after banking hours that in 1819 the cashier was dirceted to charge 25 cents to every individual who should cause him to open the bank after business hours, and it was further ordered that "the bank shall not be opened by candle light except under very particular circumstances." From the very beginning the bank was successful and as early as October 20, 1815 it was able to pay a dividend of $2 per share on the capital stock.
The Dedham Bank grew steadily. On February 1, 1865, it became a national bank under the National Bank Act of Congress. Later in 1892 it moved to the Dedham Institution for Savings Building in Memorial Square and in 1924 when control was purchased by the Newton Trust Company, the

Greenleaf Building was purchased and after extensive alterations, including a new vanlt and other modern banking equipment the new office was opened in March 1926. In May 1928 the bank became a member of the Old Colony Trust Associates. On January 1, 1935 the Dedham National Bank consoli- dated with five other banks in Norfolk County to form the Norfolk County Trust Company, with Capital and Surplus of $1,500,000 and Resources of nearly $16,000,000.
Through the many years that this bank has served the town of Dedhan, many of Dedham's most prominent citizens have served on its board of directors, and as officers of the bank. The following is a list of all Presidents.

The Institution for Savings
The Dedham Institution for Savings was incorporated March 19, 1831 and its charter was approved by Governor Levi Lincoln. The incorporators were ministers, doctors, lawyers, manufacturers and other leading men of Dedham. The first meeting of the Institution was held April 21, 1831 in the law office of Jonathan H. Cobb which was in his residence on Norfolk Street. Jairus Ware, clerk of the Courts of the County called the meeting and Rev. Ebenezer Burgess was chosen Chairman. A committee consisting of Jairus Ware, J. A. Wilder and Dr. Jeremy Stimson was appointed to prepare a code of By-Laws. The object of the Institution was ... "to pro- vide a safe and profitable mode of enabling industrious persons of all descriptions to invest such part of their earnings or property as they can conveniently spare in a manner which will afford them both profit and seeur- ity." The annual meeting was fixed as the first Wednesday of May and the

Treasurer's bond at $10,000. The Treasurer was required to keep all the securities and other evidences of property of the Institution in a trunk and deposit it with the Dedham Bank for safekeeping. The smallest deposit which could be made was one dollar and five dollars was the smallest amount which would be put on interest. Four per cent was fixed. "as an experiment" as the rate of interest to be paid to depositors. The surplus profits were to be divided as extra dividends.
On May 10, 1831, the Trustees directed that the office of the Institution be kept at the office of Jonathan H. Cobb, Treasurer, and that a sign board with the Institution's name be procured and put up by him. On May 11. the next day, the first deposit was made by Sophia Foord who received Deposit Book No. 1. In 1834 the office of the Institution was removed to the Court House. At this time Enos Foord was elected Treasurer and he served in that capacity until 1845 when he was succeeded by George Ellis 2nd.
A committee appointed in 1845 to procure quarters for the future of the Institution reported that a large room in the Norfolk Fire Insurance Company Building which was about to be built, "19 feet square . . . well finished, and the use of a safe for their books, papers, etc. connected with the room," could be leased for a price not to exceed $100. The report was accepted and in January 1847 the Institution took possession of its new quarters which it occupied for over 30 years. In 1891 plans were drawn up for the creetion of a building of its own which were approved by the Trustees. The land had been previously purchased at the corner of High Street and Maple Place. Upon completion of the new building the Institu- tion occupied part of the lower story.
The steady and healthy growth of the Institution is shown by the increase in deposits through the years. In 1841 deposits totaled $206.247, and from that figure they have increased to more than $10,000,000 today. The Dedham Institution for Savings has had but 8 presidents in its 105 years of existence.

From BARTER to BANKING
It took 300 years of economic development to make the modern banking institution of today. When the first settlers founded Dedham in 1636, beaver skins, musket balls and Indian wampum were the common currency. For many years trade was carried on by barter. Coins did not come into general use until 1652. Dedham's first bank was organized on March 21, 1814. The Dedham Office of the Norfolk County Trust Com- pany proudly acknowledges that bank as its direct forebear.
On this, the 300th anniversary of the incorporation of the Town of Dedham, the Directors, Officers and Staff of this bank pay tribute to those worthy and fearless men and women who laid their hearthstones and raised their rooftrees in Dedham, the new plantation "above the falls of Charles River," three centuries ago.

It has always stood for sound and conservative underwriting, looking more to quality rather than the quantity of its business, and consequently built up a surplus in proportion to its assets and amount at risk that is second to none.
It is thereby giving the best of security at the minimum of cost, writing at tariff rates but paying a dividend of 20', on all expiring policies.
It has agents in all the larger New England cities and towns and enjoys the patronage of a large number of policyholders who desire a strong Company with careful underwriting.

A Promise . . . to Dedham
Step by step a transformation is taking place on the site of the first mill in Dedham. Started in 1932, the initial step gave promise of an institution that might some day emulate the tradition of its one tim epredecessor. Today, four years later, the building houses an equipment second to none in flexibility, manu- facturing envelopes and drinking cups that are shipped to practically every state in the union and to many foreign lands.
