In 1783, no money was granted for schooling; but it was "voted to have the money, which the town have at interest, lay for the support of a school." In 1784, no money was raised; but it was "voted, Dec. 17, to build seven school- housen at the cost of the town." A committee "to divide the town into districts" was chosen, consisting of Stephen Ames, Moses Adams, Benjamin Learned, Reuben Morse, Ivory Perry, John Morse, and Ebenezer Twitchell; and it was "voted that the said committee pitch upon the places for each school-

house, provided the district can't agree, and also say how big each school-house shall be, and make report to the town at their next meeting on adjournment." At the adjourned meet- ing, January 10, the town "voted to have another district, and chose Ezra Twitchell to join the committee for dividing the town into districts." At an adjourned meeting, January 31, "Voted to reconsider the vote for the eighth district. Voted to divide the middle district at the meeting-house, the east part, as far as James Houghton's, to make a district. Voted to accept of the rest of the districts as the committee has laid them out. Then chose committees to build the school- housen: Chose Joseph Greenwood, James Rollins, Joshua Greenwood, for the street; John Muzzy, Capt. Moses Adams, Eli Greenwood, for the north-west school-house; Reuben Morse, Thaddeus Mason, Joshua Twitchell, for the north; Ivory Perry, Richard Gilchrist, Joshua Stanley, for the south- east; Joseph Twitchell, Simeon Bullard, Nathan Bixby, for the south; David Townsend Jr., Amos Emery, Ebenezer Twitchell, for the north-east; John Morse, Thomas Wakefield, and Samuel Williams, for the south-west school-house."
In October, 1785, the town "voted to grant one hundred and fifty pounds, to be assessed and divided into seven equal parts, and a list thereof committed to each committee that was chosen to build the school-housen and they shall give each man liberty to work or find stuff for said housen to pay his rate; and, if any person neglect or refuse to do his propor- tion, the committee shall return his list to the selectmen, and the selectmen shall give the list of such delinquent to the con- stable to collect, and the money shall be paid into the respec- tive districts where it belongs."
It was not easy to satisfy the people of some of the districts with the location of their schoolhouses. At a town-meeting, March, 1786, it was voted "to build a school-house by the meeting-house; to set the school-house (proposed to be set by Josiah Greenwood's) between Richard Strongman's and John Stone's; to set the north-east school-house near Gardner Town's, at the place staked out by the committee; to set a school-house by Gershom Twitchell's, Jun .; to accept of the place for a school-house near Ebenezer Emes's; to set a school- house by Mr. Rowel's; to set a school-house on the road be- tween Capt. Adams's and Ezra Morse's, at the crotch of the roads turning to Packersfield, on said Adams's land." "Chose Deacon Eli Morse to take care and see to the building of the school-house by the meeting-house."
512
HISTORY OF DUBLIN
The people who lived on the east side of the hill succeeded in preventing the building of a schoolhouse by the meeting- house. Their children, in order to reach it, would have been obliged to pass over the hill; and a house was erected near Moses Greenwood's. There was opposition also to the loca- tion of a schoolhouse west of Captain Adams's; and, although money had been collected for building the same, yet the west part of the district had sufficient influence to cause the erec- tion to be postponed; and, in 1791, the town voted that said house should be built "on the road between Ezra Morse's and Mr. Hale's, near the line between their lots." This vote was reconsidered at an adjourned meeting; and the contest was not ended till September, 1792, when the town "voted forty- five pounds to build two school-housen in the north-west part of the town, including what John Muzzy has in his hands for building a school-house." The said houses were to be located, one west of Eli Greenwood's, and the other between Joshua Farnum's and Andrew Allison's.
The house near Moses Greenwood's, voted to be built in 1778, was not finished and accepted till March 13, 1792, when Joseph Greenwood's account for building said house was allowed (£32.3.11., or $107.27).
At the town-meeting of March, 1794, the contest for a schoolhouse in the middle of the town was renewed, and the following votes were passed: "Voted to build a school-house near the middle of the town. Voted to move the school-house that stands at Moses Greenwood's. Voted that the school- house by Moses Greenwood's be moved down to the road below Drury Morse's, that comes from Francis Appleton's. Voted that the selectmen move the school-house that is by Moses Greenwood's in the way they think best. Voted that the school-house that is to be built in the middle of the town be vendued to the lowest bidder by the selectmen. Voted to have the school-house that is to be built in the middle of the town finished in one year and nine months from the time it is vendued off."
At an adjourned meeting, April 1, 1794, "Voted to divide the school-money into eight parts according to the number of school-houses. Voted to choose a committee to divide the school-money, and take the number of scholars. Voted that no scholar under four years old, or upwards of twenty-one, shall be numbered. Voted that the town give no more than four shillings per week for boarding schoolmasters, unless they pay it out of their school-money."
513
SCHOOLS
The schoolhouse in the middle of the town was struck off to Capt. Jonathan Hoar; and, at the March meeting, 1795, the selectmen were appointed a committee to consult with him in building the same. The location was on the hill, near the spot on which the second meetinghouse stood; hence it was after- wards called Schoolhouse Hill. It would seem that Mr. Hoar exceeded his obligation in the finishing of the house; for, in 1796, the town voted to pay him "ten dollars for the work done to the schoolhouse more than his bond obliged him to do."
The building of the schoolhouse by Drury Morse's was struck off to Philip Mills for twenty-seven pounds and six shillings, October 5, 1795; and, at the same time, the follow- ing vote was passed, which shows that the town considered Philip Mills's word as good as his bond: "Voted to accept Lieut. Philip Mills's word in room of a bondsman; and he promises to build and finish off the schoolhouse by Drury Morse's, by the first of December, 1795, and the selectmen are to pay him in five months after it is finished off."
The schoolhouse by Moses Greenwood's, standing on the north-east corner of lot 7, in the 5th range, was sold to Gard- ner Towne, February, 1796, for forty-three dollars and thirty- three cents. Thus ended, for the time being, a long contro- versy respecting the location of a schoolhouse in the middle of the town. But it was renewed a quarter of a century after- wards; a vote of the town having been obtained, March 22, 1825, to build a schoolhouse on or near the same spot. A com- mittee was chosen to build the same, who proceeded to locate the house, and the foundation was laid; but, at a meeting of the town, on the 23d day of April, the following vote was passed: "Voted to disannul and make void the vote passed at the adjournment of the last annual meeting, which was to build a schoolhouse near Jackson Greenwood's. Voted to dis- miss the committee chosen to build said house from any fur- ther services, as it respects building a schoolhouse near Jack- son Greenwood's, and to pay them honorably for the services they have done relating thereto."
Subsequently to 1796, and previously to the above date, vari- ous attempts were made to alter some of the school-districts, or to change the location of the houses. The house between Joshua Farnum's and Andrew Allison's was not finished and accepted by the town till 1799. The district in the north-east part of the town was divided in 1805; and thus there were ten school- districts, which, with little alteration, remained till 1840. In
514
HISTORY OF DUBLIN
the meantime, however, much dissatisfaction existed with re- gard to the situation of the schoolhouses in districts Nos. 1, 3, and 9. The selectmen were directed, in 1816, to number the districts; and the same numbers are attached to them now which were applied at that time, although alterations have been made in some of the districts. At present, the whole town forms a single school-district, in the legal sense, but the old boundaries of the school-districts are still used for con- venience and for historical purposes.
An unsuccessful attempt was made in 1820 to unite dis- tricts Nos. 9 and 10. Originally, these two districts formed the "north-east district." In 1820, part of the money in dis- trict No. 1 was appropriated for a school at the east end of the district; and the same was done for summer schools in the two or three succeeding years. In district No. 3, attempts were made at different times to remove the schoolhouse or to divide the district. Dublin was not divided into school-dis- tricts by metes and bounds till the year 1840. Before this date, the schoolhouses were built at the expense of the town, and the districts were nominal in a legal sense; for the law said, that "any town not divided as aforesaid (by metes and bounds) shall be considered as one district." Earnest efforts were frequently made, as the town records show, to have the town districted for schools "according to law," as it was com- monly expressed. In 1839, an act was passed by the legisla- ture, requiring the selectmen, on application in writing of ten legal voters, "forthwith to divide the town into districts, and define their boundaries." As the districting of the town could be no longer delayed, at the annual meeting in 1840, the town chose Hon. Levi Fisk of Jaffrey, Dr. Albert Smith of Peter- borough, and Charles Holman, Jr., of Marlborough, to divide the town into school-districts. This was done in the month of May following; and, with some slight alterations, the school- districts remain the same at this day, although, as we have remarked above, the whole town is today legally a single dis- trict, and schoolhouses have disappeared in some of the old districts, as in Nos. 6 and 9, the latter being now within the limits of the present town of Harrisville. By the arrangement of 1840, the west end of district No. 1 was added to district No. 6. In this last-named district, the first schoolhouse was erected that contained single seats, graduated to accommo- date the sizes of pupils of different ages. The school-room under the town-house, built in 1823, was given up, and a new
515
SCHOOLS
one erected on lot 8, range 6. A view of this schoolhouse, and a plan of the school-room, were inserted in the State Commis- sioner's Report for 1849. We insert the same here, with a brief description of the engravings.
DESCRIPTION. The building is forty-two feet by thirty on the ground, and eleven feet high in the school-room between the finishing. The school-room is twenty-nine by thirty-five feet inside. There are sixty-four seats, and as many desks, each furnished with a shelf for books. The seats are in the form of a wooden chair-bottom, and are of various sizes, from sixteen inches down to ten in height. The height of the desks is from thirty to twenty inches. The teacher's desk is on a platform raised fifteen inches, in the centre of the front of the room, with a small room behind it for the use of the teacher, or for a recitation room for the younger pupils to recite to monitors. The entries may be used for the same purpose. The room is furnished with two ventilators, which open into the attic story; the two windows of which can be raised, so that any excess of heat or impurity of the air of the school- room can be removed.

That schoolhouse still serves the pupils of district No. 1. Efforts have recently been put forth to secure a new and larger and better building, nearer the top of the hill, but until 1916 these efforts were unavailing. Meetings of the union district had been held, propositions made, committees ap- pointed, and plans drawn, but the project hung in the balance until the annual meeting of the union school-district in 1916, when it was voted to build a new house, as we shall see later in this chapter.
In the year 1840, a new schoolhouse was built in district No. 7 (the Pottersville schoolhouse), and another in district No. 4. The first school in district No. 7 was kept in the house of John Stroud (which was quite near the brick "Southwick" house in Pottersville), by a Mr. Jonathan White, about the year 1787. The room was furnished with shingle-blocks for
516
HISTORY OF DUBLIN
seats. The first schoolhouse in this district was built in 1794, and a brick one, on the same spot, in 1817 or 1818, which was used till the town was districted in 1840. The first female teacher in this district was Mrs. Joseph Bailey, who lived on lot 20, range 9. The schoolhouse built in the Pottersville dis- trict in 1840 was constructed with single seats. The one which was built in No. 4 contained seats designed to accommodate two pupils. In 1845, a well-constructed and substantial schoolhouse was built in district No. 2. In this house, still in use, each pupil has a seat, similar in form to the seats in the school-room of district No. 1. After 1840, the schoolhouse in district No. 4 was enlarged, and the rooms in some of the others were improved.
The defacing of the school-rooms by cutting the desks, or by other means, has not been practised since the houses be- came the property of the several districts. In 1820, only one school-room was warmed with a stove. This stove was in the old schoolhouse of district No. 1. In the new school-room of 1823 was a fireplace, and it was used the first winter, taking a cord of wood per week; and even that, on cold and windy days, did not keep all the pupils duly comfortable. The next winter, a stove was used, and it was found that one-fourth of a cord per week was sufficient, if the wood were dry and the fire properly managed.
Mr. Lawson Belknap wrote a history of district No. 3 and read it at a meeting of the inhabitants of the same in the winter of 1852-53. It contains many interesting facts in reference to the schools and the several teachers. From this history, which contains fifty pages, closely written, the editor of the former "History of Dublin " took the following notices: -
"Asa Bullard of New Ipswich was the first person employed as a teacher in district No. 3, in the year 1785. The term of school was six weeks, three in the house of Ivory Perry, and three in the log- house of Richard Gilchrest. Mr. Bullard was a kind and successful teacher. He went to Boston, was principal of the Franklin School, Chief Justice Shaw being his assistant. He graduated at Dartmouth College, studied medicine, and was a successful practitioner. He was distinguished for his social powers and for his active benevolence. It was said of him that, at one time, he almost entirely supported four poor families. He was never rich. He died about 1826, much lamented by the poor.
"In the winter of 1786, the school was taught by Mr. Samuel Appleton of New Ipswich. He was a teacher of superior merit, and gave perfect satisfaction both to parents and pupils. He conversed
517
SCHOOLS
freely with his pupils; and his kindness was especially shown towards the little girls, whom he never suffered to wade through the snow drifts, but carried them over in his arms."
Some statistics in reference to this district, as given by Mr. Belknap, are worthy of consideration: -
"In 1840, the whole population of the district was 121; males, 56, females, 65. The number of families was 21, and of legal voters 24.
"In 1845, the population was 110; males, 54; females, 56; and the number of voters, 21.
"In 1850, the number had decreased to 96, and, on the 17th of June, 1852, the whole number was only 84; males, 39; females, 45; with only 16 legal voters. At this time (February, 1853), the whole number of inhabitants is only 73; showing a decrease, since 1840, of 48.
"The whole number of families in 1840 was 21, and now it is only 14. The present number of legal voters is 15; showing a decrease of nine since 1840."
In 1884, a new schoolhouse, the one now in use, was built in district No. 4. In district No. 5, the first schoolhouse was located on the western side of lot 19, range 4. After the road was altered, and the present road leading to Stone Pond was constructed, a second schoolhouse for this district was located on lot 20, range 4, in the north-east corner of the Stone Pond road and the old road leading northerly to the Hardy neigh- borhood. Recently, a new schoolhouse for this district was built much farther to the east, in the north-west corner of the Stone Pond road and the so-called "Charcoal Road." The good schoolhouse in district No. 6 was burned in recent years, and the few children in that district attend the school in No. 5. Districts Nos. 7, 8, 9, and 10 (the last two having been pre- viously united) were included in the town of Harrisville, when the former Dublin was divided. The northern end of district No. 6 was also taken into Harrisville, but not the portion which included the schoolhouse. Portions of the southern edges of districts Nos. 7, 8, 9, and 10, below the line dividing the seventh and eighth ranges, were left in Dublin and incor- porated with the districts immediately below them. Since 1840, a new schoolhouse was built in district No. 3, the style of which conforms to that of the schoolhouses in No. 1 and No. 2.
INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS
Before the passage of the school law of 1827, the selectmen were, ex officio, a committee for inspecting schools, unless
518
HISTORY OF DUBLIN
others were chosen for that purpose. No other persons were chosen, except in the following years, till 1821; in 1806, Ed- ward Sprague, Aaron Appleton, Adam Johnson, Asa Fisk, Jr., Alexander Emes, John Perry, Moses Marshall, Artemas Childs, John Snow, Robert Muzzy, Thaddeus Morse, and Reuben Muzzy; in 1809, Rev. Edward Sprague, Aaron Appleton, and Adam Johnson; in 1810, Adam Johnson, Aaron Appleton, Ruggles Smith, Isaac Appleton, Asa Fisk, John Perry, Samuel Twitchell, Jr., Andrew Allison, Thaddeus Morse, and Ebene- zer Richardson; in 1818, Adam Johnson, Moses Kidder, and Joseph Appleton. It is not known that the above-named in- spectors made any report of the condition of the several schools. Many of them had been successful instructors, and their influence in improving the schools which they inspected must have been effective.
At the annual meeting, March, 1821, the town "chose the Rev. Levi W. Leonard the principal committee-man to visit the schools in the several districts with the agent belonging to the district which is to be visited, whose duty it is to inform the Rev. Mr. Leonard of the time he is desired to attend for that purpose." The following persons were chosen school- agents for that year: district No. 1, Moses Marshall; No. 2, John Taggart, Jr .; No. 3, Jonas B. Piper; No. 4, Moses Corey; No. 5, Ebenezer Richardson; No. 6, Moses Adams, Jr. (grand- son of the settler, Moses Adams); No. 7, Ruggles Smith; No. 8, Eli Hamilton; No. 9, John Crombie; No. 10, Benjamin Marshall. In the course of the year, Mr. Leonard issued a printed circular, in which a list of books was named, and their uniform use in the several schools recommended. In the year 1822, five persons were chosen for the school-committee; and the same number were annually chosen till 1852, when the law was altered, and the superintending school-committee limited to three. The following is a list of the school-com- mittee of Dublin (known as the school-board in 1886, and since) from 1822 to 1916 inclusive: -
