About 1880 F. J. M. Hale purchased a lot of land and buildings on Kent Street valued at $7500 and, calling together a group of physicians, offered it as a hospital site. In the same year the Legisla- ture authorized the City to establish a City Hospi- tal which Act was unanimously accepted by the Al- dermen and Common Council. In 1881 Mr. Hale died and, beside the Kent Street property, left $50,000 to the hospital trustees, who were elected in 1882. In 1886 the Supreme Court permitted disposal of the Kent Street property whose location was unsuited for hospital purposes.
On December 10, 1886, Honorable James H.
Carleton presented the trustees with Midlake Farm and its buildings, which he had purchased from John F. Gale for $ 10,000. This property was on the left of Kenoza Avenue opposite Winne- kenni Park. The house was remodeled and added to and the hospital opened December 29, 1887, its superintendent being Mr. James Drew and its ma- tron his wife. All of the consulting physicians and surgeons and the attending staff are now dead; Dr. Anthony, who was then "house officer," is the only one of the physicians who still lives.
THE HALE HOSPITAL was dedicated January 29, 1901 in memory of E. J. M. Hale. It is situated on Buttonccood. Avenue, one mile down-river from White's Corner.
Since then Haverhill physicians have attended patients at the Hale and Contagious Hospitals on Buttonwoods Avenue, in the General Stephen Henry Gale building on Main Street, and at the City Farm.
In 1918 Dr. C. S. Benson opened a private hos- pital at 26 Summer Street which has twenty-six beds and is still functioning.
The first medical society in the vicinity of Ha- verhill was organized June 29, 1836, at the house of Dr. Cogswell in Bradford. In 1849 this society petitioned the Massachusetts Medical Society for the establishment of a branch in Northern Essex. This petition was granted, and the first annual meeting was held in the hall of Merrimack Acad- emy, Bradford.
In 1887 The Haverhill Medical Club was es- tablished and the Pentucket Association of Phy- sicians was formed in 1920, composed of practi- cally all the physicians practicing in Haverhill and the towns nearby. The first president was Dr. George M. Atwood, the vice-president, Dr. Hugh Donohue, and the secretary-treasurer, Dr. F. W. Anthony. This association still functions actively with about sixty members.

PUBLIC EDUCATION IN HAVERHILL
BY ALICE E. SHERBURNE
HA
Public education began in Haverhill in 1660 with the establishment of a public school, taught by Thomas Wasse, who received ten pounds a year. In 1679 a schoolhouse was built near the meetinghouse, though it seems not to have been used, for in 168r the town was called to answer in court for having no schoolmaster.
Some years passed with varying fortunes for the education of children until in 1707 Thomas Ayer was granted land for a house where his wife might teach little children to read. In 1710 two schoolhouses were actually built for the holding of sessions one-quarter of the year; in 1751 gram- mar schools were ordered conducted in each parish for four months; in 1765 the first parish kept an "English school" for the entire year. In 1815 there were seven school districts. Pupils were received at the age of two, so that even then the buildings were overcrowded.
The first school committee, comprising the clergy and the selectmen, was appointed in 1789; in 1790 a set of school regulations fixed a course of study - reading, spelling, writing, arithmetic, with punctuation and grammar in the upper grades. The school day was eight hours long. In 1798 the first school report was issued.
Bradford Academy was opened for boys and girls in 1803, with a limited range of subjects taught. In 1836 only girls were admitted, and the Bradford Teachers' Seminary was instituted for boys and girls.
In 1827 the Haverhill Academy was estab- lished with 41 young men and 59 young ladies attending. There were four regular teachers and some assistants. The preceptor was Oliver H. Carleton and the preceptress, Miss Arethusa Hall. One of the minor teachers was Miss Elizabeth Sherburne. The course of study was very limited. At the opening exercises, an original ode, by John Greenleaf Whittier, a student, was sung. A col- lege preparatory and an English course were of- fered, with French for an extra fee. In 1841 the Academy became a co-educational pub- lic high school, called the Whittier School, with a graduating class of six members in 1857. In 1869 the building was remodeled and soon outgrown. In 1873 the building on Crescent Place was erected. In 1900, the Bradford pupils attending the Haverhill High school greatly overcrowded the building. In 1910 the present High School was built, the older building being used for the combined Ninth grades, while the Whittier school housed the classes in manual training. In 1919 the Freshmen were transferred to the older build-
ing and the Ninth grade abolished.
The Whittier building is now used for the Trade School, established in 1926. Five courses are offered; there are 13 teachers, a principal, and a placement director, enrolment 125. In 1935 was added a General Vocational department with three courses, enrolment 151. The Continuation School was opened in 1919, membership varying as business fluctuates. The public kindergartens were given up in 1933. The Evening schools this year registered 444; the Americanization school, 226. The High school approximates 2200; the elementary schools, 5043. There are 245 teach- ers in the 24 elementary and four secondary schools. Five courses are offered in the High school. There are many extra-curricular activities in all the schools.
The position of Superintendent of Schools was established in 1885, including William E. Hatch, Albert L. Bartlett, Roscoe D. McKeen, Stanley
THE HAVERHILL ACADEMY, 87 Winter Street, dedicated April 30, 1827, from an early photograph. Now called the Whittier Building, it houses the offices of the superintendent of schools, attendance officer, supervisors and the Trade School.
H. Holmes, George E. Gay, Christie A. Record, Clarence H. Dempsey, Albert L. Barbour, and Arlington I. Clow.
The Haverhill Teachers Association, Inc., Ico J. Chareth, president, founded in 1912, incorpo- rated in 1923, is affiliated with the Massachusetts Federation of Teachers, and has done much to further the social, philanthropical, cultural, and educational life of Haverhill.

HISTORY OF LAW IN HAVERHILL
By ESSEX S. ABBOT
The practice of law in Haverhill, by persons making the practice of law a profession, has grown up in the last century from obscure origin and em- bracing but few practitioners to the present time when there are eighty members of the bar residing in the community, although not all of them are now actively engaged in practice.
The first lawyer in Haverhill, according to his- toric account, was Nathaniel Peaslee Sargent, who was numbered among "twenty-five barristers in the whole of Massachusetts in 1768, and with reason to believe that was more than double the number who were in practice twenty years before that date." He attained judicial honors, and in 1790 he was appointed chief justice of our highest court, but died the next year.
In the early days there was but little occasion to employ lawyers. The land was not of sufficient value to warrant the expenditure of money in any controversy concerning it, and deeds, wills and other legal documents were in most instances drawn by laymen. The deed of all of Haverhill lying north of the Merrimack river by the Indian chiefs Passaquo and Saggahew to "ye inhabitants of Pentuckett," and "dated ye fifteenth day of no- vember Ann Dom. 1642," expressed to be "for & in consideration of ye same three pounds & ten shillings," bears no evidence of being the work of a lawyer, but it bears upon its face the evidence of value placed upon the land at that time by the Indians and our early settlers. (See opposite Pages 40 and fi for reproduction and transcription of deed.)
The practice of law by members of the bar has grown up from a time when nearly every man was his own lawyer, with perhaps the assistance of a justice of the peace, to the present time of larger population and more complex legal situations ef- fecting property, taxation, descent and distribu- tion of estates, corporations carrying on business formerly carried on by individuals and partner- ships, and relations with the government-munici- pal, state and national. This increase in popula- tion, and material wealth, and complexity of legal rights and liability has naturally resulted in a large increase in the number of lawyers.
Haverhill has the honor of having produced many able lawyers, who have served their clients with ability and distinction. Among them were William Henry Moody, who attained the high honor of becoming a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, and John James Ingalls, who was born and studied law here but left us to seek opportunity in Kansas, where he practised law and
became a United States Senator and won enduring fame for immortal verse in his sonnet entitled "Opportunity." This, however, is but to mention the storied great, whose lives and achievements are a source of delight and inspiration to be recalled on an historic occasion. The bulk of the legal work has been done by others to such fame unknown, but they have done the day's work from day to day, year in and year out, with all the necessary fidelity and ability to fulfill the high requirements of the bar.
The administration of law necessarily requires courts and suitable quarters for them. After the Town Hall was built in 1861, for many years the local court sittings were held there, but with the growth of the city, it became necessary to have more room for both municipal and court accommo- dations, and since that time the sittings of the court have been held elsewhere. In recent years the court has been established in the Court House at 79 Main street, opposite the City Hall. It has am- ple accommodations for the justices, the court of- ficers and members of the bar, and here the Haver- hill Bar Association holds its meetings and main- tains the Law Library which was the generous gift of the widow of a deceased member.
THE DISTRICT COURT HOUSE on Main Street opposite City Hall, built in 1855 as a residence for Reverend George W. Kelley. In 1927 the building ccas leased by the County for use as a court house.

IT IS A FAR CRY from the buildings portrayed here to the Brad- ford Junior College of 1940. Yet a BRADFORD ACADEMY, century ago, when this picture was made, Bradford Academy had already been in existence for many years. The small structure at the extreme left is the original building, erected in 1803. The other two buildings are the new hall and dormitory of 1840.
These structures have long since vanished, but the spirit that raised them to the honor of education still lives. For one hundred and thirty-seven years Brad- ford Academy ( more recently Bradford Junior College) has been a New Eng- land institution. Today it continues to dedicate itself to a cause in which it was one of the earliest pioneers in America: the higher education of women.

BRADFORD JUNIOR COLLEGE
BY JEAN S. POND
Haverhill was a village of about 2700 people, and Bradford, across the Merrimack, was even smaller when in 1803 thirty Bradford men agreed to found an academy for the education of their children and others from neighboring towns. Within four months they opened a school in a one-story building in which "preceptor and pre- ceptress" ruled over their respective "male and female apartments."
During its first decade Bradford Academy gained international recognition from the fact that two of its students, Harriet Atwood Newell of Haverhill and Ann Hasseltine Judson of Bradford, went to Asia, the first women missionaries to leave the United States. The reputation of the Acad- emy was furth- er advanced by the conspicuous leadership of Benjamin Greenleaf, a native of Haverhill, and Abigail Hasseltine, a valiant pioneer in the education of women. On the closing of the boys' department in 1836 Miss Hasseltine was able to offer to young women a curriculum almost identical with that of the new Mount Holyoke Seminary, and henceforth the Academy was well known for its standards of higher education. In 1840 the old schoolhouse was replaced by a second building and dormitory. These in turn were abandoned when the present building, containing class rooms, as- sembly hall, and dormitory, was dedicated in 1870.
Through the second half of the century the Academy requirements for graduation included courses in advance of the high school, but when women's colleges came into existence it was evi- dent that Bradford should differentiate between secondary and collegiate education. On the foun- dations laid by her predecessors Miss Laura Knott in 1902 organized a definite college preparatory course and a two-year curriculum for high school graduates which became immediately popular. Miss Marion Coats gave this curriculum col- legiate standards in 1920, calling it a Junior College.
Hasseltine, Academy, and Denscorth Halls-Architect's Sketch
Meanwhile the department of physical educa- tion had been developed, and gymnasium and playing fields added. The Marion Coats Infirma- ry was built largely through the efforts of the student body. Courses in the fine arts were enrich- ed, and students were urged to attend concerts, operas, theatres, and art exhibitions in Boston. Student government became a vital factor in dor- mitory life, and the Christian Union found avenues of activity in social service both near at hand and far afield.
Bradford owes much of its high rank to Dr. Katharine M. Denworth, its president from 1928 to 1939, who gained for the Junior Col- lege recogni- tion from the American As- sociation of Junior Col- leges and- what was more difficult - rec- ognition by New England college educators. In 1932 Bradford Academy was re-incorporated as Bradford Junior College, and two years later the preparatory school was given up. In the past year Hasseltine Hall, in which are finely equipped laboratories and class rooms, and Denworth Hall, containing auditorium and organ, art studios, and recreation room, have come into being. Moreover the main building, for many years the very heart of the school and now appropriately called Academy Hall, has been ren- ovated as a dormitory, and the former assembly hall has been transformed into a beautiful and spa- cious library.
Thus it has come about that after a hundred and thirty-seven years Bradford Academy, founded by the sacrifices and struggles of the people of Brad- ford, has evolved into a junior college considered by educational authorities one of the leaders of its type in the United States. From east, west, north and south, and from several foreign countries young women now come to Bradford, for instruc- tion in the liberal arts and sciences, in the fine arts, and in home economics. Here they find a happy social life where lifelong friendships are formed, and intellectual and spiritual aims are stimulated.

THERE WERE NO FOOD STORES 300 YEARS AGO
Each family produced what it needed . . Exchange was by barter or "swap" .. Few goods passed through channels of trade . . Sailing vessels brought luxuries from abroad, sold a few hours after arrival . . Then came the Yankee peddler, the general store and, as more goods were produced in central factories, stores and store-keeping developed . .
Our customers have sent in from time to time remembrances of the old-time store, when in the same dusty showcase were displayed 10-inch hatpins, bustles and a "hand" of plug tobacco . . when you bought dried apples cut in rings, strung on strings . . castile soap was sold in half-yard lengths four inches square . . purchases were wrap- ped in sheets of brown paper . . you took your kerosene can to be filled and the store- keeper put a potato on the spout .
Food was limited in variety and high in price and modern sanitation was unknown.
Our Company, born, raised and operating exclusively in New England, is proud to have had its part in raising standards whereby more and better food has been made available at the lower prices possible through modern, economical methods.
