We have thus seen that the first schoolhouse was built by subscription and land owners of the district, while this present house is the first to be built in East Braintree by the town as a municipality.
Compare the 16x20 house first built with the present mag- nificent building now being dedicated. What a contrast presents itself to our imagination. One hundred and forty years ago was placed a small, wooden colored building by the side of the street, probably encroaching somewhat upon its limits, as land in those days was considered valuable, with just land enough to place the building on, the only play-ground being the narrow highway in
160
front, without any sanitary privileges connected with it, and the inside provided with benches, on each side of one aisle, so high that the smaller children could not touch the floor with their feet, half heated by wood burned in a fireplace, and the room being so cold as to be uncomfortable, compelling the scholars who sat across the room to ask permission of the teacher to go to the fire to warm their "footses." I say compare that house to the present magnificent edifice, its convenient rooms, its sanitary arrangements, and its ample play ground. The glory of the lat- ter house transcends that of the former.
I congratulate the children on the privilege of being the first to occupy such a beautiful and convenient edifice. I con- gratulate the teachers on their removal from the dark, noisy, un- comfortable rooms of the Iron Works schoolhouse, patched for more than 60 years. I congratulate the building committee on the successful completion of their labors. I congratulate the school committee on having the keys placed in their hands which admits them to these spacious rooms, over which they have full control. I congratulate the town of Braintree on having almost unanimously passed the vote to erect this building and appro- priate $31,000 for this purpose. There may be a few to growl about the high taxes caused in part by this vote, but let me as- sure them that 100 years hence they will possess as much gold and silver as though the town had not erected this beautiful edifice.
And now what name shall be given to this building ? Many names might have been appropriate to give to it. There is the name of Lemuel Shaw, the distinguished jurist, whose mother was a native of Braintree, and who was fitted for college in the house opposite this spot under the tuition of a native of Braintree; or John Hubbard, who gave this village a send-off by erecting the works for the manufacture of iron in 1684; or Dea. Thomas Allen, the chief promoter of the first school in East Braintree ; or Caleb Stetson, the benefactor of the village school in 1845; or Thomas White, who taught school for many years and died in the midst of his labors in 1778 at the age of 47 ; or his descendant, Naaman L. White, long a member of the school committee, and whose interest in the schools did
1
161
not cease until his death, or many others I could name. But there was one whose merits stood so high that it was with al- most unanimous voice and assent that it was adopted as the name of this magnificent edifice and the schools which should occupy it. It was that of Jonas Perkins who resided upon this spot fifty-nine years. Of him, time will only allow me to speak brief- ly. He was born in Bridgewater, Oct. 15, 1790, commenced fit- ting for college at the age of seventeen at Phillips academy, Andover, graduated at Brown University in 1813, received his license to preach from Mendon Association, Oct. 11, 1814, and in January, 1815, he was engaged to preach three months for the Union Religious Society of Weymouth and Braintree. At the end of that engagement he was unanimously called to the pastor- ate of that society, and was ordained June 14, 1815. Tradition says that after his election as pastor he made a visit to his mother, and her first question was, after he had informed her of the fact, "Did you meet with any opposition ?" His answer was "I received a unanimous vote." Her reply was, "Jonas, I fear you have not done your duty." This was his first and only pastorate during his long life. Two days previous to his ordination, he was married to Rhoda Keith of Bridgewater, a descendant of the venerable Rev. James Keith who at the ordination of Rev. Hugh Adams as pastor of the First church in Braintree in defiance of the Governor and Council of Massachusetts, laid his hands upon his head and placed him in charge of the church, and took up his residence in Braintree, where he lived with his companion until his death. He was interested in the cause of education through- out his long life and previous to the passage of the law requiring the towns to choose a general school committee he was, by vote of the town, together with his worthy co-temporary, the Rev. Dr. Storrs, chosen to supervise the public schools. He served the town in that capacity fifteen years. I hold in my hand the first printed report of the committee, supposed to be written by him. Had I time I would like to speak of his ripe scholarship, excellent judgment, firmness of purpose, strict integrity, his labors in behalf of peace and concord in the community in which he lived, his great love of humanity, his tolerance for the opinions of others who differed from him, and especially of his
162
great love for the children, whom he never met but he had a pleasant word of encouragement and a smile on his countenance. He loved the children and they loved him.
He was one of those of whom the Master spoke when He said : " Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth." " Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteous- ness, for they shall be filled." "Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy." "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God."
He died June 26, 1874, and amid the fragrance of the sum- mer flowers, accompanied with sweet songs of birds, his material body was borne by tender hands to the cemetery just across the line and deposited with the silent earth, there to return to the silent dust from whence it came; but the divinity within, God had taken to his loving arms. Let us then, this day, dedicate this building to the memory of our sainted friend, and it is with the deepest reverence that I take upon my lips the name of " Jonas Perkins " and dedicate it to the cause he loved so well.
May his memory ever remain to the latest generation.
