CHAPTER VI.
SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS.
EARNING was considered by our early ancestors a desideratum in society and business prosperity. Accordingly every family was a rudimental school, and as soon as circumstances would warrant it (January, 1651,) a gram- mar school was established and en- dowed, which has since been known as the Feoffees' Grammar School. The pres- ent value of the property is $11,540.64 ; the income last year was $900.38. The feoffees are Charles A. Sayward, Thomas H. Lord, Joseph F. Ross, Theodore F. Cogswell and the Board of Selectmen.
THE MANNING SCHOOL
was named for its founder, Dr. Thomas Manning, who by his will amply provided for an eminently practical high school. Unfortunately, however, the desire of his heart was not real- ized; his large es- tate furnished only $10,000, which came as a gener- ous gift from the doctor's son. A timely benefaction of $4000 was re- ceived from Dr. Jo- CHCOL seph Green Cogs- well of New York and Cambridge, and another of $15,000 from Mr. Richard H. Man- ning of New York -all Ipswich men by birth. The school-house was

and an endowment fund of $10,000, making a grand total of about $40,000. This gift was supplemented by Professor Daniel Treadwell of Harvard College, who gave his private library, some, valuable paintings and a fund of $20,000. These friendly gifts have made the lives of these gentlemen a perpetual blessing. The trustees are: Hon. George Haskell, Zenas Cushing, Joseph Ross and, ex-officio, the principal of the Manning High School and the pastor of the First Congre- gational Church. The present very efficient librarian, Miss Lydia Caldwell, has continued since the foundation. The library contains more than 10,000 volumes, which have been selected with great care, especially the works of fiction, which are scrupulously standard, and constitute three-fourths of the books loaned.
A name worthy to be enrolled with the famous teacher, Ezekiel Cheever of Ipswich and Boston, is Issachar Lefavour of Beverly, who taught the Feoffee Grammar and High School here from April, 1856, continuously to July, 1874, ja period of eighteen years and one term.

CHAPTER VII.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
N EARLY record of this department, by the fire-wards or either of the com- panies, we have not been able to find. The voluminous town records contain, here and there, many relative facts of value. The earliest record of the fire- wards or the engineers is 16 May 1863. It consists of only one paragraph, which says that the board of the engi- neers shall meet at the Town House the first Monday of each month, and that the chief shall preside-a record that probably marks the end of the fire-wards and the beginning of the fire engi- neers. The next record, after a lapse of six years, is continu- ous, from 10 May 1869. The earliest record of Engine Com- pany No. 1 (the Union engine) is 20 April 1835, and the earli- est of Engine Company No. 2 (the Go-ahead engine) is 17 January 1822. In 1837 the town paid $719 for "engine- houses, &c." One of the houses referred to is now located on Locust street near High, and has the number 1837 over the

door. It stood first where Joseph F. Ross' residence is, then where, or near where, the Barnicoat engine house is. The other house is diagonally back of and below the present War- ren engine house on Warren street. Russell & Nourse built both houses, on contract, for $474 and extras $26, making a total of $500, and received their pay October, 1837. The town paid John Jewett, 13 November 1837, ground rent for engine house, seven months, $3.50; and the "Ind. Congl. Meeting-house" $6 for ground rent for engine house from 26 May 1837 to 26 May 1838.
One of the earlier houses, presumably the one built about 1803, is now a shed at the Bamford place on County street ; the other is a carriage house on the Lavalette estate in the Linebrook district.
In 1872 the department had its first annual parade, with a procession, a dinner and in the evening a grand ball. In 1876 the president and directors of the Ipswich Mills present- ed the department with $150, in token of their appreciation of the firemen's service in extinguishing a fire in their store- house No. 3. In 1879 the reservoir on High street near Min- eral was rebuilt. Nathaniel H. Lord barely escaped instant death by the caving in of the sides at the depth of fourteen feet. In June, 1881, culminated a long-continued unpleasant- ness between the Mechanic Hose Company (appointed 25 June 1879) and the firemen. The Mechanics asked and re- ceived an honorable discharge. In 1882 intoxicating liquors were banished from the department. In 1883 the reservoir near L. E. Willcomb's was built. In 1884 Edward W: Choate contracted, for $1250, to build the Warren engine house*, on land bought of Ann Mitchell; in 1886 he contracted, for $1025, to build the Barnicoat engine house on land bought of Walter Tarlton. In 1888 the reservoir in front of the North School house was built.
ENGINE COMPANY NO. 1.
In 1803 the town, by individual subscription, purchased a fire-engine, and the First and South parishes provided a house for it.
Between 1826 and 1836 the town of Ipswich purchased a fire-engine of Ebenezer Tappan of Manchester, and gave him in part payment an old engine, which Mr. Tappan rebuilt (his last work upon engines) and which did good service at the conflagration that nearly destroyed that town in 1836. This was the Union, which name was changed 24 Novem- ber 1845 to Masconnomet. The engine was kept at the Town House. The Warren engine was paid for 26 October
* The town appropriated $1000. The land cost $310 and the extras $328.27, making a total of $1888.27.

ENGINE COMPANY NO. 2.
The selectmen were instructed, 13 March 1821, to pur- chase a fire engine, and 17 January 1822 the Ipswich Fire Engine Company No. 2 was organized. They adopted the last rules of company No. 1. They took supper 7 February, by invitation of company No. 1, at Smith's tavern. Dr. Dana and Rev. Kimball were present. The engine's name, Go- ahead, was changed to Agawam, 8 November 1845. In 1847 a flagstaff was raised and a flag or streamer was ob- tained. In 1865 a new flag was purchased with funds donated by the generous citizens. It cost $45.94. The flagstaff, much decayed, was removed 3 or 4 August 1888 to allow a reservoir in its place in front of the North school house. The company was first called Agawam Engine Company No. 2, upon the adoption of a new constitution 29 May 1850. The engine,

8 October 1861, was past labor, and the company asked for an efficient one. They were offered Thayer No. 3, and refused her ; then engine No. 1, and refused her also. Before 8 Novem- ber they were given the Barnicoat. The title, 5 May 1862, was the Barnicoat Engine Company No. 2. The Go-ahead was a Button bucket-tub, and cost $450. The Barnicoat was a second-hand machine and was bought of Boston for $425, and paid for 27 February 1862. This engine was also loaned to her old company on the occasion above referred to, 12 September 1887, and was the first to be presented in the parade. Her decoration was beautiful, was warmly ap- plauded, and elicited the oft-repeated expression: "Isn't it lovely !" She received the Globe's second prize, bestowed for general excellence of appearance. The Barnicoat is an excel- lent machine and has done veteran service.

The town, probably in 1865, certainly before March 1866, - sold some old engines to Hunneman & Co. of Boston for $800. Mr. Moses Spiller of the Board of Engineers says there were three engines and two hose carriages.
The department at present is the Board of Engineers, the Warren engine and company of fifty men, the Barnicoat en- gine and company of fifty men, the Candlewood engine, and the hook and ladder company of twenty men, which was organized in 1848, and took the name General Sutton 5 May 1873.

THE VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS.
EALOUS affection in a good thing," wrote Paulto the Galatians, "is always good." So the work of those sympa- thizing with the sorrowful, attending upon the sick, inculcating lessons of so- briety and sentiments of social worth, contending for righteous principle and laboring for social improvement, in the light of patriotism and sound morals, is good, and their zeal according to knowledge is commendable.
THE IPSWICH MUTUAL BENEFIT SOCIETY
was organized in March, 1879. Its object is to afford com - fort, sympathy and pecuniary aid in the sickness of its mem- bers, and a benefit in case of death. They pay to sick members $3, $2 and $1 a week, with certain reasonable provisos, and a death benefit of $50. The officeis are: President, James Sadler ; vice-president, Ephraim Goodhue; secretary, James R. Merrey ; treasurer, George Willis; chaplain, Rev. R. B. Parker; trustees, Charles Archibald, F. T. Goodhue. The meetings are at G. A. R. Hall the third Thursday evening of each month.
