CHAPTER XVI
SCHOOLS
W E have hints of schools in actual operation in Hanover as early as 1780, but no action appears to have been taken by the town respecting schools, or the improvement of school lands, before 1787. In December of that year a committee was appointed to take charge of the school right.1 By an act of the General Court, June 18, 1789, the selectmen of every town were required to assess annually upon the polls and estates of residents a sum computed at the rate of five pounds for every twenty shillings of the town's proportion of the public taxes, to be applied to the sole purpose of keeping an English Grammar School for teaching reading, writing and arithmetic, and, in the shire towns, also Latin and Greek. If the selectmen should neglect to levy the tax, they were liable to pay the total sum out of their own estate, to be appropriately expended by the town clerk. Something to the same effect had been enacted as early as 1719 and 1721.
At the annual town meeting of Hanover in March, 1790, a special committee of five 2 was chosen "to take up the affair of schooling" and report on the 30th of the same month. Upon their recommendation, that part of the town lying west of Moose Moun- tain was divided into five districts. The College district, includ- ing Greensborough and extending some distance up the river, was designated as "Number One." Number Two covered the north- west section along the river to the Lyme line. Number Three lay to the eastward of Number Two, and Number Five to the east- ward of Number One, while Number Four lay where it later did, . in the midst of the other four.
For each district there was elected by the town a school com- mittee of three members, who were instructed to call the people of their respective districts together and, with the advice of the district, to lay out therein the proportion of the money raised belonging to it, "for the use of schooling in the same." A tax was at the same time voted of £150, to be paid by the first of the next January, equal to wheat at 5 / per bushel, and to be appor-
1 The committee consisted of Jonathan Freeman, Esq., Capt. Solomon Jacobs, and William Dewey.
2 The five were Jonathan Freeman, Esq., Dr. Laban Gates, Russell Freeman, Esq., Mr. Gideon Smith and Capt. Samuel Slade.

tioned equally among the districts "according to their lists and the money that they pay."1 A committee, consisting of Jonathan Freeman, Joseph Curtiss and Samuel Kendrick, was also empowered to make "sails of the school lands that the money thairof may be appropriated to the use of schools in this town." By a second vote, in May, they were permitted also to make leases.
These measures met, however, with a determined opposition, and upon remonstrance and petition by nineteen persons a meet- ing was held, April 29, and the tax was rescinded.
