Besides Sutton and Dunbarton, we learn that Master Hogg exercised his vocation in Newport, Fishersfield, and several other places. In all of these schools, according to common testimony, his discipline was so severe as to cause his pupils to realize that knowledge is indeed bought with suf- fering, and almost forcing each one of them to believe that the cautionary threat concerning the " tree of knowledge " used towards the dwellers in Eden-" In the day that thou catest thereof thou

shalt surely die "-was about to be literally fulfilled in his own experience.


In the warrant for town-meeting, September 17, 1801, is the following article:


To see if the town will agree upon some better method to provide school masters than has been presented heretofore.


Prior to the above date it appears, from some old papers examined, that each district provided its own school-master. At this time it seems that some persons began to have a conviction that a more concerted action by the districts, or by the town, would ensure better teachers.


Another school-master in Sutton was one Na- thaniel Dow, as the following certificate will show: Sutton, Feb. 27, 1795. ) S This may satisfy the Selectmen of Sut- ton that Daniel Messer boarded me one month while I was keeping school.


Nathaniel Dow.


The first female school-teacher in Sutton was Olive Whitcomb. She afterwards became the wife of George Walker. She taught school in Deacon Asa Nelson's barn about the year 1788.


Some teachers who are still remembered as hav- ing labored here during the first quarter of the present century were Benjamin Colby, Esq., late of Springfield, Deacon Benjamin Fowler, late of Orange, Hon. Jonathan Harvey, Col. Philip S. Harvey, Rev. Stephen Pillsbury, late of Derry, Capt. John Pillsbury, later of Sutton, Judge Moses S. Harvey, late of Painesville, Ohio, Hon. Charles Hudson, late member of congress from Massachu- setts.


537


SCHOOLS.


Deacon Benjamin Fowler (named above) taught one term, and perhaps more, in a room in the house of Samuel Bean, an early settler.


Among those in this town who have been emi- nent in the cause of education are the following:


Thomas Wadleigh Harvey, son of Moses S. Harvey, who emi- grated from Sutton to Painesville, Ohio. was for several years superintendent of schools for the state of Ohio.


Lydia Wadleigh, daughter of Judge Benjamin Wadleigh, eminent as a teacher during many years of her life, held the position of superintendent of the Female Normal college in New York city for more than fifteen years.


Gen. John Eaton was for some time superintendent of education in Tennessee, and subsequently received from Gen. Grant the appointment of superintendent of the National Board of Education. which position he held for a long term of years. He is now presi- dent of Marietta college.


Adelaide Lane Smiley. daughter of Dr. James R. Smiley, and granddaughter of Dr. Robert Lane, has been at different periods and for many years the honored lady principal of Colby academy at New London.


William Taylor, a Baptist clergyman, and son of Capt. James Taylor. of Sutton, was largely instrumental in the establishment of the New Hampton Baptist Institution, and later of a similar insti- tution in Michigan.


The right of land reserved by the proprietors for school purposes, according to a stipulation in their grant of the town, was sold under the direction of the town, and the proceeds of the sale constitute the original school fund. For many years after the settlement of the town men-teachers' wages were from six to eight dollars per month, besides their board, which in most cases was given in by the families, each one giving according to the number of scholars sent, the teacher "boarding around "


538

amongst them. Female teachers received from fifty cents to one dollar per week.


The catechism spoken of as being used in the schools was the "Shorter Catechism of the West- minster Assembly of Divines," and was found in the New England Primer. It was also used in families to some extent.


SINGING-SCHOOL.


Capt. Matthew Buell, of Newport, taught sing- ing-schools in Sutton many years, about the close of the last century and afterwards. He used to teach three afternoons and three evenings in a week while the term continued, one day at Matthew Har- vey's tavern, one day at Enoch Page's tavern, and one day at Caleb Kimball's tavern.


His schools became one of the greatest social institutions of the winter season, and were looked forward to with much interest at a period when young people in Sutton were so numerous that some school-districts, which are now so much re- duced as to be merged into others, then numbered one hundred scholars every winter.


The recess between the afternoon and evening schools afforded a fine opportunity for the young men to display their gallantry to the girls, by treat- ing them to a supper of such good things as the tavern afforded. "On one occasion," says our informant, " Capt. Buell's Newport school, by special invitation, came down to visit the Sutton school, had a supper together, and a fine entertain- ment every way."


539


SCHOOLS.


Capt. Buell was eminent as a singing-master, made music a sort of profession, and taught in a large circle of neighboring towns; was a native of Somers, Conn., born in 1758; was a Revolutionary soldier, and lived to a great age.


On the occasion of one of his trips to Sutton he rescued a little girl from death by freezing. The mention of the circumstances attending it will not. be out of place here, illustrating as they do the customs of the times and the friendly care that people then had for each other. The little girl's father lived some two or three miles from the South school-house, and he hired the child boarded near the school, and used to go every Saturday after- noon with horse and sleigh to bring her home. One day, however, feeling a little homesick, she would not wait for him, but set out for home directly from school. It was very cold. A furious snow-storm came on; she became chilled, bewil- dered, and sleepy, and sank down in the snow in a stupor, from which she would never have aroused but for Capt. Buell. It happened that he boarded at the same place and had there met the child. Coming into the house and not seeing her, he learned upon inquiry that she was attempting to reach home on foot and alone that bitter cold day. " She will never, never reach home alive," he said, and immediately set out on horseback to try and find her, looking carefully on both sides of the road as he went along, and finding her at last buried in snow and totally insensible. Lifting her to the horse's back beside him, he held her fast, and rode as rapidly as possible to the first house on the


540


HISTORY OF SUTTON.


way, which was Micajah Pillsbury's, shouted at their door for help, and when they came out in instant response to his call, gave the child to their care, and rode on to summon her parents. Mrs. Pills- bury undressed the little girl, put her in a warm bed, and with much friction, and, as soon as she could make her swallow, with stimulants succeeded in bringing her back to life; and after some time she awoke from that stupor to see her mother shed- ding tears of joy and thankfulness over the child who seemed dead and was alive again, who was lost and was found.


At a later period Dea. Josiah Nichols for many years led the singing in church, and taught several terms of singing-school.


Daniel Whitcomb, a resident in Sutton, was gifted with a splendid voice, and was for some years a teacher of singing-schools in Sutton and elsewhere.


Sunday-schools were first attempted previous to 1830, largely through the influence of Mrs. Mehita- ble Carr. She was a power in the Baptist church. She took a Baptist magazine, and kept up with the times.


Anthony, or Tony Clark, as he was commonly called, taught dancing at an early period, and later Henry Carleton was considered a fine teacher of dancing-school.

DECREASE IN NUMBER OF SCHOLARS AND SCHOOL- DISTRICTS.


The decrease in the number of scholars has of course kept pace with the decrease in the popula- tion of the town. The report of the school com- mittee, for the year ending March 1, 1888, says,-


In 1858, thirty years ago, there were 479 scholars in town. These were divided into fourteen schools, averaging thirty-four scholars to a school. To-day there are less than one third of that number of scholars, with an average of twenty-two scholars to a school. The number of children in town between the ages of five and fifteen, by the selectmen's enumeration in April, 1887, was 128, seventy-three being boys and fifty-five girls.


Under these circumstances, would it be advisable to maintain the same number of schools as formerly ?


The number of schools has been reduced to seven. We planned to have each school thirty weeks in length for the year, but the winter terms in two of the smaller schools were closed earlier on account of unfavorable weather and travelling.


The report says further,-


543


SCHOOLS.


All the teachers employed, except onc. are residents of this town. All have done well and labored hard for the success of the work. We are proud of the fact that we have in town several superior teachers, who have long been connected with our schools.


The school board signing this report are Ben- jamin Johnson, Cyrus H. Little, and Charles A. Fowler. In answer to a letter asking information concerning the new system and its workings, Mr. Little writes, under date of Dec. 5, 1888,-


At the session of the N. H. legislature in 1885, the district sys- tem of schools was abolished, and the town system, so called, was adopted, with the understanding that, at the close of five years, those towns that preferred to do so could again adopt the district system.


Under the town system each town constitutes a district, and the schools are managed by a school board of three members, chosen by the district. The members serve three years, and one member is elected each year.


The duties of the board are the same as those of the former super- intending and prudential committees combined. They can estab- lish schools wherever, in their judgment, the interests of the canse of education demand. At this time we have eight schools. Where scholars live a long distance from school, we hire teams to carry them a portion of the way.


In my opinion the town system is much to be preferred. There was some opposition to it in this town at first, but I think the people at this present time are well satisfied with our schools as they are now managed.


SCHOOL-DISTRICTS.


The first permanent division of the town of Sut- ton into school-districts was made in 1808, in pur- suance of the new law requiring such divisions.


Five of these districts, however, already existed, having been laid out according to the convenience


544


HISTORY OF SUTTON.


of the people residing therein, and their limits were not materially changed by the action of the com- mittee.


District No. 1 was to include the south-west part of the town. The school-house was erected near Capt. Aaron Russell's. In this district lived Samnel Peaslee. Mr. Stevens, Mr. Blaisdell, Joseph and Jonathan Johnson, Thomas and Moses Wadleigh, Joseph Greeley, and others. This was first laid out previous to 1797.


District No. 2 included the central part of the town north of No. 1. The school-house was at the North Village, where it now stands. The district embraced what has since been No. 2, No. 6, and No. 7. Among the early inhabitants of this district were Daniel Messer, Ephraim Gile, Benjamin Wadleigh, Matthew Harvey, Jacob Mas- tin, Jacob and Jonathan Davis, and others. The school-house was originally located near Gile pond,-a small affair, however. On the town records for 1803 is found the following vote :


"Voted, To class school-district where widow of Matthew Harvey lives with district where Daniel Messer lives, provided the inhabi- tants will provide themselves with a good school-house."


In pursuance of this plan, the school-house was moved to the North village, and, being insufficient for the wants of the now enlarged district, was purchased by John Harvey, father of Dea. Joseph Harvey, who used it for the L part of his own residence, or else for his carpenter-shop, and built the school-house where it now stands, near the pond.


District No. 3 included the south-east part of the town, and was first laid out abont 1797. The school-house was on Kimball hill, near Caleb Kimball's. The district included what has since been Nos. 3, 8, 10, and part of No. 14. Herein lived David Peaslee, Peter Peaslee, Dudley Kendrick, Samnel, Jonathan, and Ichabod Roby.


District No. 4 included also what has since been Ncs. 12 and 13. It embraced Mill Village and was north of No. 1, extending to Newbury town line. Herein lived Moses Quimby, Daniel Andrew, Asa and Philip Nelson, and William Pressey. The school-house was at Brocklebank Corner, about a mile west of Mill Village, and one half mile east of Newbury town line. This district was laid out in 1804.


District No. 5 embraced the north-west part of the town. King's

hill was in the central part of it. The school-house was a little' east of William Bean's. Among the early inhabitants of this dis- trict were William Bean, Jacob Bean, Jesse Fellows, John King, Joseph Chadwick, Joseph Morgan, Amos Pressey, Samuel Kezar. Laid out previous to 1797.


District No. 6, laid out by the committee in 1808, embraced the north-east portion of the town, and included eight of the lord pro- prietors' lots. The school-house was erected near the residence of Edmund Richardson.


District No. 7, Brick Union, was laid out in 1818.


District No. 8, the Gore, was laid out in 1816.


District No. 9, the South, was laid out in 1820.


District No. 10, the Kendrick, was laid out in 1823.


District No. 11, North-West (Todd's), was laid out in 1823.


The original report of the committee appointed to lay out and define the limits thereof of the school-districts in Sutton in 1808 is before the writer at this time, and is in fair preservation. It is in the handwriting of Jonathan Harvey. The report was accepted by the town :


Report of the Committee appointed to lay out and define the limits thereof of the school-districts in the town of Sutton :


Your Committee are of opinion that it will be most convenient for said town that the School Districts be divided in the following manner, namely,-
