NUMBER IV, or "Scribner's," embraces the section of the town around "Scribner's Corner."
NUMBER V is on the North Road. This school house is the oldest in the town.
NUMBER VI. This district includes that part of the town which is known as "The Mills." There was a school located here as early as 1806, and a school house in 1816. It became unfit for use years ago. In 1884 the district erected a fine and commodious building, with modern conveniences.
NUMBER VII is at "Smith's Corner," or the Union Meeting house neighborhood. One of the school houses, built in 1782 and sold two years afterwards, was in this district. The second school house in this section of the town was erected in 1789, by Phineas Bean, Joseph Meloon and Richard Foster. It was 20 by 25 feet in size. To aid in its completion more than sixty dollars were contributed by individuals. Nathaniel Meloon gave $12.00, Phineas Bean, $12.00, Benaiah Bean, $10.00, John Smith, $ 12.00, Nathaniel Meloon, Jr., $5.00, John Sawyer, $4.00, Jabez True, $4.00, Simeon Sawyer, $2.00, and Richard Foster, $1.00. The district was at one time designated as No. 8. In 1825, on the petition of Daniel Fitts and others, a district was organized embracing this section of the town, and was called South Road District No. 3. How it came to be No. 7 in this system of districts we are unable to say, for we find no record.

EDUCATIONAL HISTORY.
NUMBER VIII, or "Thompson's Corner District." The first school house in the town, built of logs in 1772, was on a site included in the limits of No. 8. The second school house in the district was built in 1816, and was located east of the pres- ent brick school house in this district.
NUMBER IX is on Loverin's Hill, and was established in 1826, on petition of Thomas Chase and others. It has been called Centre Road District No. 2. The house was built by Daniel Loverin, in 1826, and is now abandoned.
NUMBER X is on the southern spur of Kearsarge mountain, and is usually called the "Watson District." A school house was built here as early as 1812.
NUMBER XI is on Raccoon Hill, and is often denominated the "Shaw District." In 1847 Mr. George Shaw gave the land and built the school house for $149.50. In 1871 the dis- trict was enlarged, and in 1876 the house was repaired.
SHAW'S CORNER DISTRICT. This was originally known as South Road District No. I, then as South Road District No. 2. The first school house stood just south of Thomas Bruce's gar- den. The town sold it to Samuel Quimby, who made interior modifications and rented it to Eben (commonly called "Cain") Whittemore, for a dwelling house, who occupied it for many years, raising a large family of children. The next house for school purposes was erected in 1820, at the "Corner," where it remained until 1881, when it was removed, a commodious and handsome house taking its place.
LOWER VILLAGE DISTRICT, now Orphans' Home, in Franklin. The school house was located on the triangular lot of land south of G. B. Matthews's barn. The present house is of brick, and was built by private contribution or by subscriptions for shares, at a value of $10.00 per share. The records of this district were in the hands of Parker Noyes, Esq., at the time of his decease.
EAST VILLAGE DISTRICT ( Franklin.) The land now occupied by a school building, in that portion of Franklin formerly be- longing to Salisbury, was given by Ebenezer Eastman, for "educational purposes," in 1816. The deed was given to the
204
HISTORY OF SALISBURY.
"Republican Village Association in Salisbury." The first school house in that part of the town was built in 1805-6. The second house was removed to give place to a larger one. For a time it occupied the corner where Sanborn's block now stands. It was used as a store and was occupied by John Robertson. The present house, recently built, is one of rare taste and exquisite beauty, and in outward appearance resembles a coun- try residence of wealth and refinement.
EARLY TEACHERS IN THE TOWN.
No perfect record is found of the teachers in Salisbury. It is certain that prior to 1805 those here named were employed in the districts mentioned.
Robert Hoag, who originally wrote his name Hogg, taught west of the Blackwater in 1793, and in some section of the town at least two years previously. He was of Scotch parentage and may have been related to the family of the name that came to this country with the ancestors of General Stark. He settled on the farm now known as the Reuben Greeley place, west of that of D. J. Stevens. He was an eccentric man but a good scholar, and noted as a teacher. "Master Hogg" was a famil- iar name in his day and for years after he died. His daughter married Richard Greenough.
The same year, 1793, Benjamin Fifield and Moses Eastman taught on the North Road, Mr. McDaniel on Raccoon Hill, and William Hoyt on the Centre Road.
The next year Thomas Chase taught on the Centre Road, William Hoyt on Raccoon Hill, Jonathan French on the North Road, and Moses Eastman on the River Road.
In 1795 John Huntoon taught on the North Road, at $10.00 per month ; Moses Sawyer and David Quimby taught on the South Road.
The names of Reuben French, Moses Eastman and Oniseph- orus Page are also recorded as teachers. The latter received six pounds, fifteen shillings, for teaching in the Bog District, in 1795-6.
205

In ISO1 a sister of Daniel Webster taught in the town, and in 1805 Ichabod Bartlett and Grace Fletcher are mentioned as teachers.
Timothy Osborn was one of the earliest teachers.
Moses Marsh taught in 1796.
Nancy Eastman taught in 1797, at seven shillings a week.
William Couch taught above Blackwater, on the South Road, in 1794.

SUPERINTENDING SCHOOL COMMITTEES.

HISTORY OF SALISBURY.
In 1828 the committee consisted of fourteen, one for each district. In 1829 there were twelve members. In 1830 Thos. H. Pettengell, Samuel I. Wells, and Rev. E. E. Cummings con- stituted the committee. The writer remembers that Thomas Hale Pettengill, Esq., was one of the committee in 1839, though he paid no attention to the schools. It was rarely that the school officials gave much attention to the duties of their ap- pointment in those days. After 1851, the records show that committees were regularly appointed :

EDUCATIONAL HISTORY, CONCLUDED.

SALISBURY ACADEMY.
At the close of the last century, Salisbury was the residence of an unusual number of prudent, intelligent and scholarly men. They had pride in the good name of the town, and looked for- ward with cheerful anticipations to a higher position which it might hold in the State. They not only maintained good order, liberally supported schools and sustained an able and faithful ministry, but saw the advantages which would result from a permanent institution of learning, and at length united in the establishment of an academy. At the annual town meeting in 1792 it is recorded, "the people gave their approbation for an academy, to be located between Ens. Moses Garland's and Ens. Edward West's." After no little delay a petition was presented to the Legislature for an Act of Incorporation. The petition was signed by the active men of the town, and was presented at the winter session, in January, 1795.
TO THE HONBLE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN GENERAL COURT CONVENED, AT CONCORD :
The petition of the undersigned persons humbly showeth,
That we have long experienced the want of an institution in this vicinity, where youth may be instructed in the higher branches of learning, and be prepared to transact the common business of life with advantage, or to finish their education at a university. We feel a deep conviction of the importance and utility of a general diffusion of literature and good morals. To facilitate the means of education is,
208
HISTORY OF SALISBURY,
we are persuaded the most effectual means of accomplishing this desirable object. The dearest interests of our country are fast devolving upon the rising generation, they will soon become citizens, and be interested with all the relations of life; we regard them with a paternal anxiety and ardently wish that they may enter upon the theatre of life with such qualifications as will do honor not only to republicans, but to human nature. We consider knowledge as the palladium of liberty, we consider good morals the foundation of happiness, public and private ; with such sentiments we have associated for the purpose of erecting and supporting an academy by the name of the Salisbury Academy, where youth may be initiated in the arts and sciences, acquire habits of morality and piety, and an invincible attachment to the principles of civil and religious liberty. The design of our association has received the approbation of a majority of our fellow townsmen, and we now respectfully solicit the patronage of the Legislature of New Hampshire.
Your Honors must be sensible that the business of such an institution cannot be well managed without a Board of Trustees, we therefore pray your Honors for liberty to bring in a bill to constitute Honbls Timo. Walker, Abiel Foster, Esq., Rev. Jonathan Searle, Rev. Elias Smith and Luke Wilder, a Corporation by the name of the Trustees of Salisbury Academy, and to invest the above named gen- tlemen and their business, with all the necessary power of a body corporate to carry into execution the design aforesaid of your petitioners.
And your petioners as in duty bound will ever pray.

A CHARTER GRANTED.
STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
January 15, 1795.
The Committee on the within petition reported that the petitioners have leave to bring in a bill, at this or the next session of the General Court, for the purpose mentioned in said petition, but so guarded as not to allow the Corporation to hold any real estate free of taxes, which report being read and considered,
Voted that it be received and accepted.
JOHN BENTON, Speaker.

EDUCATIONAL HISTORY.
In the Senate, same day, read and concurred.
NATHAN PARKER, Dept. Seety.
While the petition was before the Legislature, a town meet- ing was held, when the vote which was passed three years pre- viously, approving the movement, was repeated, with the quali- fication that the academy be "built at the expense of the ercc- tors." The location, between Ens. Garland's and Ens. Edward West's," was again approved.
An Act of Incorporation was granted, bearing date of Decem- ber 22, 1795, in accordance with the terms of the petition.
ERECTING THE BUILDING.
The Board of Trustees, by authority of the Legislature, had the charge of the institution. They selected a site and caused the building to be erected. It was placed on the ridge of Gar- land's Hill, nearly west of the residence of Nicholas Wallace, and was two stories high.
The funds for its construction were raised by subscription. We have no data regarding its cost, nor do we know the names of the contractors or workmen. There is no record of a for- mal opening or dedication, nor can we find a catalogue of the teachers and students at that date, nor for years after. We only know that one Thomas Chase was the first principal. We have no knowledge of him beyond this fact-that he instructed at this time the lad who became America's greatest statesman, and who was a pupil in the institution. (See Genealogy.)
ITS PROSPERITY.
The academy was for a time well sustained, but owing to the sparse population in that neighborhood, and the consequently limited number of dwelling houses, board could not be obtained. In those days clubs were not common; students had not learned to board themselves, and no public boarding house was maintained. The school was therefore closed in a few years after it had been instituted.

HISTORY OF SALISBURY.
A REMOVAL.
It was proposed to move the building to the South Village and open it under new management. At an adjourned meeting, March 26, 1805, Andrew Bowers and Moses Clement were chosen to "procure a lot of land on which to set the academy." They purchased of William Little forty square rods, at the junction of "the Turnpike" with the College Road, being the delta now occupied by the academy. The cost was $120.00. Again a subscription was raised, for removing the building to the new location.
THIE SCHOOL DISTRICT SECURES AN INTEREST.
The expense of this removal and the proper repairs were found to exceed the contributions, and the School District at the South Road Village, with the view of using the lower rooms for a public school, voted to meet the deficiency by "taxing each poll according to its ratable estate."
Andrew Bowers was constituted the agent of the district, to negotiate with the proprietors of the academy. Terms were made satisfactory, and, on April 15th of the same year, John Webster, John Sweatt, Moses Clement, Samuel Greenleaf and Benjamin Pettengill were chosen a committee to move the academy. The removal took place April 29, 1805.
New underpinning was put in by Stephen Bohonon, at a cost of $29.50; a chimney was built on the east side, by William C. Little, for which he was paid $46.00. This chimney communi- cated with a large fire-place in each story. John Sweatt and Moses Clement were chosen to collect the subscriptions and to finish the house, or rather that portion of it appropriated to the use of the district. The same men, with the addition of Sam- uel Greenleaf, finished the upper room, which was assigned to the use of the academy. Mr. Bohonon took the contract and was paid $80.00.
On the 13th of January, 1806, the district voted "to move in next Wednesday morning." As then constituted, the part occupied by the district contained two rooms. The floor of the southeast section of the one and of the west side of the other,
211
EDUCATIONAL HISTORY.
for a short distance, was elevated and occupied by the desks of the scholars. The teachers' desks were opposite to those of the pupils.
The entrance to the upper rooms and to the north room below was on the cast side of the building, near the northeast corner; but to the lower south room the entrance was at the middle of the south side. From the east side the entrance was to a small hall ; a few steps led to a platform or broad stair ; from this platform a flight of stairs led to the upper north room, and by a narrow hall or walk to the south room on the second floor. In the south room brick stoves succeeded fire-places, but at a later period iron stoves were substituted.
Again a subscription was raised to make repairs on the build- ing and add to its accommodations. The fire-places were taken out, the lower rooms made into one, a chimney built on the north side, and the ceiling of the lower story lowered. It was at this time that the entrance on the east end, and the stairway leading to the second story, were changed to the southeast cor- ner of the building. New windows were supplied and blinds added. The cost of these repairs was about $300.00. This was in 1837-8, and Benjamin Pettengill, Nathaniel Bean, and Rev. Valentine Little were the committee to supervise the work.
In 1856 the lower school room was repaired by restoring the ceiling to its original height, laying a new floor, and repainting inside and outside. The school room was furnished with new and improved furniture, so that it was the most pleasant and convenient school room in the vicinity.
Since that time a few changes have been made, but none of material importance, if we except the additions of a projection of the upper story, by which the hall is enlarged, and the stair- way made more convenient. These improvements were made in 1883.
A NEW ORGANIZATION.
To go back again, to the instruction given in the Salisbury Academy : In 1806, after its removal to the present location, Mr. Joel Eastman, father of the late Hon. Joel Eastman, of
212
HISTORY OF SALISBURY.
Conway, made a proposition to all interested, to the effect that "a company be formed who will support a school in that part of the house intended for an academy, at least one year, with the privilege of continuing it as long as they shall think proper, at their own risque, receiving the benefit of the tuition, which shall not exceed twenty-five cents per week for each scholar, the said company to have the management and direction of the school entirely to themselves, the school to be opened as soon as a Preceptor can be conveniently engaged."
The district on its part accepted the proposition, and no other parties objected. A petition for the renewal of the charter was presented to the Legislature, signed by Andrew Bowers, Moses Eastman, Samuel Greenleaf, Joseph Bartlett, Israel W. Kelly, Joel Eastman, Moses Clement, Eleazer Taylor, Rev. Thomas Worcester, Amos Bean, Levi Bean and Nathaniel Noyes. The petition was answered by a new charter, December 10, 1808.
The new corporation conducted the institution with great earnestness and prudence for a long period, during which time it gained and sustained a reputation for good scholarship and excellence in all its departments. Its standing was not inferior to the best institutions of its kind in the State. Students came from distant towns, and some of the most distinguished men in the country received their academical education in Salisbury Academy.
But by degrees there came a period of decadence. Some of the active supporters died, others removed from the town, and those who were left lost their interest; and after many years of success the school was suspended and the doors of the academy closed.
A THIRD CHARTER .:
A new and third attempt to maintain an academy in the town was made by Tristram Greenleaf, Nathaniel Bean, Jonathan H. Clement, Nathaniel Sawyer, Robert Smith, Thomas D. Little, I. N. Sawyer, Peter Whittemore, Moses Greeley and Horatio Merrill. They obtained a new charter in 1859, and made an effort to revive the spirit of the past. But high schools were
213
EDUCATIONAL HISTORY.
established in all the large towns, where excellent instruction could be had, without personal expense, and the few well- endowed academies, like those at Exeter, New Hampton and Meriden, took those students who desired to pursue an ex- tended course of preparatory study.
Shortly after its re-incorporation in 1808, Benjamin Gale, Esq., an enterprising and scholarly gentleman of the town, left a legacy of one thousand dollars to the institution. This was accepted by the trustees and the interest was used for the ben- efit of the school; but when a final suspension took place the fund was restored to the heirs of Mr. Gale.
It is a matter of regret that catalogues of the school, if any were printed, were not preserved. 'A complete record of the pupils attending the school would have given the present gener- ation the names of many eminent men and women in the various walks of life. The editors have seen but one printed catalogue. That bears a date of 1852.
A programme of an exhibition of the school, which took place in 1819, has been preserved, and is of sufficient interest to occupy a place in the history of the institution and the town. This programme, or "Order of Exercises," is a broadside, on a sheet of coarse, dingy yellow, 11x18 inches, surrounded with a "border," and was probably considered at the time as in the best style of the printer's art. It reads as follows :
