" Bespeaking your patient forbearance under this epistolary inflic- tion, I am, as ever, yours truly, CHARLES BROOKS."
Medford may well be proud of a son who could honestly write such things of himself. And she may also be proud of another of her sons, the Rev. William Channing Woodbridge (H. C. 18II), who at a somewhat earlier period, as editor of the "Annals of Education," and in other ways, labored successfully for the great cause of school-reform. His Modern School Geography and Atlas, so long the popular text-books on that subject, are proofs. of his eminent ability and enthusiasm.
The new interest awakened in the cause of elementary instruction produced its effects readily in this town.
March 3, 1834: "Voted that the school-committee be directed so to arrange the town schools that the girls shall enjoy equal privileges therein with the boys through- out the year." This tardy justice to the female sex was not peculiar to Medford ; and we are now amazed that the Anglo-Saxon men, living in a free commonwealth and professing the Christian religion, should have needed two hundred years to convince them that girls have an equal right with boys to all physical, intellectual, and moral development.

HISTORY OF MEDFORD.
The improvement resulting from this vote seems to have been unsatisfactory ; for we find that at the March meeting in 1835 a special committee was chosen "to in- quire into the different and best methods of conducting public schools, and to report what improvements, what number and kind of schools, are necessary in this town to qualify every scholar, who desires an education, for the active duties of life."
The committee reported in print at the April meeting of that year, and did it so effectively that $500 were then added to the school appropriation made in March ; and one month later the schools were graded, and a high school put into operation.
Our high school is supposed to have been but the second or third organized in the State for the free co-education of the sexes in the higher branches of learning. This fact shows that Medford had men at that period who planned in advance of their times. Prominent among those men were the Rev. Caleb Stetson and Deacon Galen James, who, though representing different religious classes and different social elements, worked here in beautiful harmony ; the wit, tact, and enthusiasm of the former combining effectively with the energy, perseverance, and practical common sense of the latter, to silence opposition and secure the desired result.
Of others who worked harmoniously with the above- named for that re-organization of the schools, which for a half-century has been yielding most precious fruit, it cannot be regarded as invidious here to record the names of James O. Curtis, John C. Magoun, Milton James, and Horatio A. Smith.
The population of the town at that time was much less than half its present number : yet, within a dozen years of its birth, the high school numbered more than ninety pupils. Admission to it was, of course, far easier than by the inexorable examination of later times. Though classical study was early introduced, it was found prac- tically impossible, with a very few exceptions, to give a thorough preparation for college until the requirements for admission had been largely increased, and a third teacher had been appointed. This was effected in 1867, and statistics introduced farther on will abundantly show that noble work in this direction has from that year been accomplished.

HISTORY OF MEDFORD.
A fourth teacher was added in 1881, to round out still farther the privilege of securing that special training which is best adapted to each pupil's needs and tastes.
A new house having been erected for the school in 1843, it was then removed from its birthplace in the rear of the Unitarian meeting-house to its present home. In 1866 the dimensions of that home (which had been shared with the Centre Grammar School till 1863) were largely in- creased by land purchased from the Magoun estate ; the building was moved a short distance toward the south- west, and turned one-quarter round ; a cellar was sub- stituted for the brick basement ; a stair-tower was erected ; and the entire structure was arranged for and dedicated to the use of the high school.
The first master of the school was Mr. Charles Mason, who remained but a short time, and left the teacher's pro- fession for that of the law. His successor, Mr. Luther Farrar, taught eight months. He also entered the legal profession. Mr. Daniel H. Forbes was elected in 1836, and resigned in 1841 to accept a mastership in Charles- town. Mr. Isaac Ames succeeded him for three years, and, afterwards becoming a lawyer, was for many years judge of probate and insolvency for Suffolk County. The position was next given to Mr. M. T. Gardner for a few months ; and in September, 1844, to Mr. Edwin Wright, who, after one year, relinquished it for a mastership in the Eliot School in Boston. Following the example of most of his predecessors, he too became a lawyer, and was for some years judge of the Municipal Court of Boston. His successor, Mr. James Waldock, resigned at the close of the school year in 1846, and was succeeded by Mr. Charles Cummings, who, enjoying the confidence of the town, as well as the esteem and love of his pupils, held the position till July, 1876, to be then followed by the present esti- mable and successful incumbent, Mr. Lorin L. Dame.
From the first establishment of graded schools, the town has been fortunate in the appointment of its grammar masters ; and they would be individually referred to in this place, did not our space forbid more than the brief- est mention of a few who earliest held that responsible position.
In the East District, from 1833 to 1838, was Mr. A. B. Magoun, who afterwards taught a grammar school in Cambridge for forty-three years. His successor was Mr.

Stacy A. Baxter, who later achieved a wide reputation as principal of a private school in Boston, and as a teacher of elocution, of which art he was chosen professor in Harvard University.
Back of the meeting-house, in 1833, was Mr. Thomas S. Harlow, a man with whose honorable life the town has been well acquainted from that day to the present. From 1835 to 1838, the school was in the hands of Mr. B. F. Tweed, who, in the next forty years, held several high educational offices, among which, for nine years, was the professorship of rhetoric, logic, and English literature in Tufts College. He was followed by Mr. James G. Foster, Mr. Benjamin F. Gilman, and, in 1842, by Mr. Thomas Starr King, whose reputation as a preacher and philan- thropist extended in later years from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast.

Some of the changes which the school system has ex- perienced may here be noticed.
Within forty years the sessions of thirty-three hours per week for forty-eight weeks in the year have, through many steps, been reduced to twenty-six hours per week for each of the forty weeks of required work.
1862. Music became a regular study in the high and grammar schools ; and Professor Henry G. Carey was elected to instruct each of those schools one hour per week. Since 1870 the intermediate and primary schools have shared his instruction one half-hour each two weeks, the regular teachers supplementing his work by a daily drill. Pianos, purchased mainly with money earned by the children in concerts given under Mr. Carey's direction in the town-hall, are used in the five higher schools.
1866. An evening school for the benefit of persons over fifteen years of age, and beyond the reach of the day schools, was established, and has been continued since during a few months of each winter.
1867. The course of study in the high school was re- duced, except for pupils in preparation for college, from four years to three.
1873. Drawing was made a regular study in all the schools. Professor B. W. Putnam of Boston was employed that year to meet all the teachers in a series of practical lessons, which should qualify them each to instruct their

own pupils. Great proficiency in the art has been the result. The high school alone has had the instruction of a special teacher in this department.
The employment of a school supervisor was authorized by the town in 1873; and Mr. James A. Hervey was elected to that responsible position, and filled it with marked fidelity, discretion, and success for the next ten years. A successor has not yet been appointed.
There were four male and twelve female teachers em- ployed by the town in 1854. Thirty-one years later there are six males and thirty females employed, besides the teachers in music and drawing.
To show how promptly our town has taken the form and pressure of the times, we need only to state the annual expenditure for the support of the schools during the last fifty-three years.
Commencing with 1832, when the appropriation was $1,200, the average annual expenditure (exclusive of build- ings) for successive periods, together with the average number of pupils, and the cost for each, has been as fol- lows : -

HISTORY OF MEDFORD.
ACADEMIES.
Medford has been famous for its excellent private schools. As early as 1790, Mr. William Woodbridge opened one for young ladies and boys, providing board in his own family for many who came from Boston and other places. He seems to have discovered, what is now so commonly known, that the surest way of having a select and full school was to ask the highest price. At first he met with some success in teaching, and educated several of the first women of the State.
His academy was kept in the house formerly occupied by Col. Royal. At one time he had ninety-six girls and forty-two boys in his school. His sister and a male assist- ant were associated with him.
Mr .; Joseph Wyman of Woburn, who had kept the pub- lic school in Medford, built the house which, for more than a half-century, was owned by the Bigelow family, and there opened a private school for boys and girls. He taught only a few years.
Mrs. Susanna Rawson, the proprietor of an overflowing boarding-school for girls in Boston, presuming that a country location would be better for herself and her pupils, canvassed various localities, and, settling upon Medford, leased Mr. Wyman's premises, and became his successor. That her school had many patrons, and was regarded with much favor by the town, is evinced by the following : -
May 12, 1800. " Voted that the second and third seats in the women's side gallery in the meeting-house be allowed Mrs. Rawson for herself and scholars; and that she be allowed to put doors and locks on them."
Mrs. Newton succeeded Mrs. Rawson, occupying the same house from 1803 to 1806. She was a native of Rhode Island, and sister of Gilbert Stuart, the painter. Her success was so great at one time, that she had sixty pupils, some of whom were foreigners, and many of them from neighboring States. Some of her pupils became distin- guished ladies in New England.
The premises once occupied by these three popular schools, and tastefully improved by later occupants, are encompassed with pleasant memories. The writer, with many other citizens, can well recollect the two gardens of choice shrubbery in front of the buildings ; the double
299

row of stately trees fringing those gardens ; and the long avenue between them, which led from High Street to the mansion, and to the greenhouse in the rear. Those build- ings and most of those trees have disappeared ; and the grounds occupied by Mrs. Rawson's school (the most pop- ular, perhaps, at that time in the whole country) are now in the possession of Mr. J. W. Tufts and the Episcopal Church ; the apartment devoted to the Sunday school of that church being almost upon the identical spot which the schoolroom formerly covered.
Dr. Luther Stearns (H. C. 1791) opened a classical school, first for girls, and afterwards for boys and girls, in his house, which fronted the entrance of Medford turn- pike, now known as Mystic Avenue. This was a board- ing-school, and but few children of Medford attended it. Dr. Stearns had been tutor of Latin at Cambridge, and ever showed a preference for that language. His school was filled with children from the first families of New England, with now and then a sprinkling of French and Spanish blood from the West Indies and other places. A kinder heart never beat in human bosom; so kind and tolerant as to forbid that imperial rule and uncompro- mising decision so needful for a troop of boys. He pre- pared many young men for college.
Dr. John Hosmer opened a private academy for boys, about the year 1806, and, by persevering fidelity, gained reputation. He built the large house on Forest Street, which, as our older readers will recollect, was afterwards occupied for so many years by Mr. John Angier for the same purpose. It has since been removed. He super- intended the amusements as well as the studies of his boarders. He was perhaps less of a scholar than a disci- plinarian ; yet he made skilful mathematicians and accom- plished linguists, because he made students. He taught his pupils the force of this sentence : Sic volo ; sic jubeo ; stat pro ratione voluntas. He was neither severe nor unreasonable ; for, under a soldier's sternness, there nes- tled something of a lover's good-will.
In May, 181I, Miss Ann Rose of London opened a day-school for girls in the brick edifice known as the "Fort " on " Governor's Lane ;" and in November, 1812, she and Miss Hannah Swan of Medford converted it into a boarding-school, and soon found their house filled with young ladies from the best families in the State. The

good influences of this academy can hardly be over-stated. Uniting extensive literary accomplishments with the high- est moral qualifications, these ladies performed their legis- lative and executive duties with dignity and quietness, and labored to give that instruction which develops all the powers for health, usefulness, and station. They lived to receive showers of blessings from grateful pupils.
Mr. John Angier (H. C. 1821) opened a boarding-school for boys and girls, May 1, 1821. Having already acquired a reputation as teacher, and being as highly esteemed as he was well known in Medford, his success came early and copiously. He devoted his whole mind and time to his duties, and had a crowded school as testimony to his fidelity and usefulness. For twenty years his school grew in popularity ; and there was general regret when his health compelled him to resign it in 1841. During his teaching he had five hundred new scholars : some remained seven years with him. Among his pupils he counted Chief Justice Gilchrist of New Hampshire, and Justice Benja- min R. Curtis of the Supreme Court of the United States.
The many of both sexes whom he sent forth rejoicing in the way of knowledge and virtue will ever remember him with deepest gratitude.
The private boarding-school for young ladies, taught for twenty-four years with signal success by Miss Eliza Bradbury, was deservedly ranked among the most useful seminaries within the neighborhood of Boston. Devoting herself to the most substantial and important branches of education, she produced the most durable and happy results. Her pupils were mostly from other towns, and several of them from the most elevated families.
Mr. A. K. Hathaway (A. C. 1836), a man of ripe schol- arship and large experience in teaching, opened an Eng- lish and classical day-school on Ashland Street in 1846. Success attended his enterprise, and a boarding depart- ment was soon added, which received a respectable patron- age from this and other States, and from the island of Cuba. At the height of its prosperity the school was dis -- persed by the death of its founder in 1860.
Other private schools, less extensive in numbers and of shorter duration, have done their share in the good work, and been a credit to the town. For more than half a century, the excellent schools of Medford have presented a strong inducement for strangers to settle among us.
