The opening disclosed to the principals the prospect of reduced incomes, for in coming to Jersey City they had given up excellent positions in Trenton.

They called to their aid in the work Mr. James Hothan, n graduate of the Trenton Normal school, and retained the services of Mr. E. H. Clark, pre- viously with Dr. Hasbrouck. During the first year the school increased in numbers from fifty to rights. The following year Mr. Horace C. Wait, a graduate ot Yale, and a man of marked ability, was called to the school. In 1880, Mr. Miller withdrew from active participation in the institute, and, with Mr. Stimmets, bought the New York School of Languages, in New York City, founded by Dr. Sauveur. The reputation of lasbrouck Institute as a first-class boys' school was now well established. In Isso the school had in- creased in efficiency and popularity. Parents seeing the need of an equally good school in Jersey C'ity for their daughters, took measures to induce the princi- pals to open a girls' department. A petition, signed by many prominent citizens, requesting suc ran open- ing, was sent to Mesers. Miller and Stimets. After much deliberation it was decided to grant the request, and during the summer of 1880 the first floor of the institute building was handsomely refitted with every- thing necessary for comfort and thorough work. Miss S. Carrie Stow, of New Haven, Conn., a lady of experience and great success in teaching, was engaged & superintendent of the work. Her assistant was Miss Jennie C. Drake, a graduate of Vassar College. In the autumn of that year thirty girls presented themselves for entrance to the school. From that time on the number steadily grew, until at the present time (November, 1884,) eighty girls, the largest num- ber that can be accommodated, are studying in this department.

Miss Stow had brought rare tact and ability to the work, together with a keen interest in literary pursuits that was soon felt in kindling interest and in directing taste towards the best literature.

almost separate, save in the most advanced classes. but as an advantage was soon noted in the competi- tives solarship of the two departments,-a new mental vigor being the result .- additional clases were united. The benefit to the boys' department has been remarkable, much rough boyishness having disap- peared, leaving a strong tendency to more earnest and accurate scholarship.

Mr Miller still continues principal of the New York School, while Mr. Simets, whose portrait has been obtained for this volume, holds the principalship of the Ilasbronck Instante ; Mr Wait, who has charge of the classical work of the school, acting as vice- principal.

I'nder the direction of Mr. Stimets the school has continued to improve It haa a wide influence in Jersey City and the surrounding towns Its graduates are to be fennd among the honor men and students and alan ni of all our Eastern colleges and scientific schools, as well as among those in successful bu iness hile. The last catalogue shows a total enrollement of two hundred and sixty-three pupils and a faculty of thirteen. There is a department of music, one of the best in the city, and an excellent art department, the studio being in an adjoining building. A fine gymna- slum is in the basement of the building, and the insti- tution stands ready to do for future generations even more than it has been able to do in the past.

CHARLES C. Frister-, principal of the Hasbrouck Institute of Jersey t'ity, i- n young man who has been tor eight years intimately connected with the educa- tional work of Hudson bounty, and who for four years prior held a prominent position as an educator in another part of this State.

Mr. stimets was born in Highgate, Franklyn C'o., Vt .. Dec. 10. 1850. He was the youngest of five sons of Jacob Stimmts, whose father and mother came to this country from near Frankfort, Germany, in the latter part of the eighteenth century. When Charles was but two years of age hns father suddenly died. leaving nine children and a large estate greatly em- barrassed by various obligations incident to an exten- sive business. The widowed mother of this large family was fortunately a woman of rare skill and judgment, and she guided her household and the affairs of the estate with unusual discretion and success. Charles, with other members of the family, was early sent to school, and he soon gave evidence of being a close and successful student. On finishing his ele- mentary education in the Highgate village school, he was sent to complete his preparatory course in the

Y., where he pur-ned a four years' classient couse in the Normal College, graduat- ing with valedictory honors in 1872. His services from that time have been in New Jersey. For four years he filled, with great satisfaction to the trustees, the chair of mathematics in the State Normal School, department. Two additional lady assistants have been added. It was with some hesitaney that co- education was begun in this school, fearing that the yet untried experiment might result disastrously to an already acknowledged success; but all doubts were soon at rest. At first the departments were | at Trenton, and during this time lectured on methods

of teaching at Teachers' Institutes in different parts of the State. In 1876 he resigned his position in the Normal School, and, in connection with Mr. H. C. Miller, purchased the Hasbrouck Institute of Jersey City. This school, under the direction of these two gentlemen, has grown to be the largest private school in New Jersey, and is one of the largest and most flourishing schools in the country. Mr. Stimets, while remaining the principal of the Hasbrouck Institute, is connected with Mr. Miller also in the direction of the School of Languages in New York City, an institution which has already taken high rank among preparatory schools

Mr. Stimets is a man who has thus far worked his own way in life, and his success is undoubtedly due to his sterling Christian integrity, his sound common sense and his indefatigable perseverance.

Gaskell Business College .- Prof. Geo. A. Gaskell was born at Penn Yan, N. Y., in 1844, and in early life removed to Ashtabula County, Ohio (which county has been made prominent as the home of those pioneers of anti-slavery, Joshua R. Giddings, Benja- min Wade and John Brown). His father was a small country store-keeper, and held the commission as postmaster of the hamlet under President Buchanan. Ilis son received a fair academic education, and at the

age of sixteen engaged in teaching in his native place. ; to be paid to them for the purpose. This was done, Hle continued for three years thus employed, and at the age of nineteen was engaged by Bryant & Stratton, in connection with their chain of commercial colleges, sinee which time his abilities have been employed in this department of instruction. He taught for six years in .Newark under their auspices, was principal of their college in Trenton, and in 1870 removed to Manchester, N. H .. in the same capacity, this college having been soon after purchased by him. Professor Gaskell is widely known as a publisher in connection with his profession, his "Compendium of Forms," an illustrated encyclopædia of one thousand pages, pub- lished by the Fairhanks & Palmer Publishing Com- pany. of Chicago, having attained a sale of two hundred and twenty thousand copies. More than two hundred thousand copies of his " Writing Compendium " have been sold, and his other works are proportionably popular. These are standard works, and have greatly enhanced the reputation of their compiler. Professor Gaskell. though retaining an interest in his publica- tions and conducting a publishing house in New York, gives his personal attention to his .Jersey City College, established some years ago, which is now one of the leading institutions of this special character.

The Hoboken Academy was organized in 1860 under a special charter of the Legislatureof New Jersey. The funds to ereet and furnish the school building were raised by private subscription and by disposing of shares which entitled the holders to vote at the an- nual election for trustees, but were not intended to yielel any profit, the whole income being expended for the benefit of the institution. The founders of the

school were all German-Americans, and the school maintains a distinctly German character. There are ten distinct grades, forming four departments,-the kindergarten, the primary, the intermediate and the academic department. The course provides for two years to be spent in the kindergarten and three years in each of the other departments. The school is under the instruction of Mr. Joseph Schrenk and sixteen assistant teachers. The number of pupils in 1883 was four hundred and thirty-three.

The Stevens Institute of Technology, a school of mechanical engineering, at Iloboken, takes a high rank among the technical schools in the country. It is the only institution in Hudson County affording op- portunity for a higher education than can be obtained in the ordinary High School and academy. It was founded by the late Edwin A. Stevens, who directed in his will that a lot of ground, four hundred and twenty-five feet by two hundred feet, particularly de- scribed, and one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in money, should be paid to his wife, Martha B. Stevens, and Messrs. William W. Shippen and Samuel Dod, as trustees under the will. They were to erect a suitable building and to establish an institution of learning, and if the trustees thought it necessary, an additional sum of five hundred thousand dollars was and the income derived from its investment is the in- stitute's chief means of support. The trustees were incorporated in 18,0 by a special act of the Legislature, the building was immediately commenced, and the school was opened the following year.

It is essentially a school of mechanical engineering, and confers the degree of mechanical engineer upon its regular graduates. The full course is four years, and especial care is taken to make the instruction practical. The various departments are richly pro- vided with apparatus for experimental work, and work in the shop and laboratory forms an important part of the course. The workshop, fitted up by Presi- dent Morton, and formally presented by him to the trustees May 14, 1881, is provided with machines and other tools to accommodate fifty students at one time. Tours of inspection are planned each year that the students may have opportunities to examine the in- dustrial enterprises connected with the subjects which they may be studying. It was not Mr. Stevens' intention that the "Institution of Learning " should be entirely free, but that a portion of the cost of in- struction should be borne by the students. One free scholarship, however, is given each year to the grad- Date of the Stevens High School who passes the best examinations at the spring term, and three such scholarships each year are given to such graduates from the public schools of Hoboken as are recommended by the officers, and who pass successfully the regular examinations for admission. The president is Henry Morton, Ph.D. There has been no change in the board of trustees, that board having always consisted

of Mrs. E. A. Stevens, Rev. S. B. Dod and Withan W. Shippen, Einq.

The Stevens High School is the preparatory de- partment of the Stevens Institute, and is held in the same building. Its chief object is to prepare students for that institution, but its pupils are also fitted for college, its course of instruction including all branches usually taught in classical and commercial academies. Its instructors have the use of the apparatus and other facilities of the institute in illustrating the elementary instructions in natural philosophy and chemistry. Rev. Edward Wall, A.M .. is principal. There are seven assistant teachers and one hundred and ten pupils.

Roman Catholic Schools, -The first Catholic school in Hudson County was established about 1544. and was connected with St. Peter's Church, in Jersey City. That was the first Catholic Church in Hudson County, and was incorporated in 1-31. The school was held in the basement of the church, now St. Woysius Hall, on Girand Street, near Warren Street. The next school was a private select school, kept by one MI rgan Nolan, who had previously taught the parish school. " Nolan's Academy," as it was enlled, was in a base- ment on the south side of tirand Street, between Ilud- som and Greene Streets, and was opened about 1847. The next one, opened a year later, was kept by x Mr. Smith, in Grove Street, near Fifth Street.

The school connected with St. Peter's parish was a free school, and in 1851 was attended by two hundred male and two hundred and twenty female pupils. In the male department James Braun was principal, Henry Braun assistant; in the female department Margaret Carey was principal and Mary Dickinson assistant.

The following statistics, compiled from "Sallier's Catholic Almanac," show the number of schools under Catholic control in 1854 :

Paulus Hook-EARLY DEED HISTORY OF JER- SEY CITY .- The original Jersey City as incorporated in 1820 was co-extensive with Paulus Hoeck for Hook) of the Dutch and Aressick of the Indians, which became famous during the Revolutionary war as the scene of " Light-Horse Harry Lee's" gallant exploit.

Examination of the early records reveals the deed history of this piece of land which was destined to become famous and exhibits the origin of the name løy which it was for many years known.

Becoming a part of the possessions of the Dutch West India Company soon after the beginning of their enterprise in the Western World, it was con- yeyed by deed to Michael Paauw, burgomaster of Amsterdam and Lord of Achtienhoven. The tract of land called Ahasimus, lying back of or westwardly trom Paulus Hook, was conveyed by the same instru- ment, a patent, which was as follows:

" We, Director and Council of New Netherland, reading on the Island i of Manahntas and at the Fart Amsterdam, under the anthurity of their High Mightineaus the Lords States-General of the United Netherland and the incorporated West Inha Company, testify and declare herewith that on this day personally appeared before us Arkitonow and Aisrouw Virginiaas, inhabitants and co-owner of the land called Aluminum and the little island Arrairk, who, for themselves and In proportion for the ather propriote me, Winym, Matskath and Camoins, declare, in their sald capacity of awarry, that for a cortara lot of merchandise, which they acknowledge to have received and accepted to their satisfaction before the pouring of this art, they have subl, transferredl, reded aml conveyed by a certain deed and contract of male, as they herewith transfer, code

The name of the early proprietor seems to have been more commonly called Pauw than in the manner in which we have prevented it in the above patent. Latiniza, as the old Dutch names frequently were, it might, by the slightest possible license, In Paulus er Pauwios, and In that fori applied to the truet of land of which he became the owner, in coll- junction with the term Hoeck (or Hooks sigmitving a blutl'or spur of land stretching into the water. The origin of the name has been variously assented for by several writers. Some have sud that the locality was named after om Michael Paulusen ( Pauluszoon or Poula , an officer in the service of the company in 1033, who, it is conjectured, occupied a hut on the island. Others intimate that the place received its name from one Paulus Schrick, who lived in Bergen, and that it was called after a minister, Paulusen, of the Reformed Church, who lived at Pavonia. But why should the "Hoeck " be named after either of these men who lived in other localities? Why, in- deed, should it not have been called after the pro- prietor, Pauw, instead of the agent Paulusen, Poulaz or Pauluzoon ? The spelling of the name has been as various as its origin has uncertain. The first part being produced in print in the following ways Paulus, Paules, Poules, Poulus, Powers, Powlas, Pow. lass's, Powles, Powlis, Powless and Powleys.

For reasons not necessary to date in this conne - tion, as they have been presented in the General History, the sale to lauw proved unsatisfactory. and the land reverted to the West India Company, by whom, in 1038, it was conveyed to Abraham Isanesen Planck (Ver Planck ) by an instrument which contains the carliest historical mention of Paulus Houk. Following is the original grant as translated from the Dutch records :

"This Day appeared before me, Cornelis Van Tienhoven, Secretary f Now Netherland, the land, wise, and prudent William Kirft, Director- General of S .w. Netherland from one side, and Abraham laiks Plank from the other side who agreed t gether alumt the purchase of a certain lot of land called Paulns Hook, which is situated to the worst of the Island Manhattan, to the east from Aussiums, on the North Riva to the valley which borders on it, which truet the Director kieft shl to Abraham Plank, who to acknowledges to hav . purchased said lut for the sum of four hundred and fifty gl. of 20 stivew each,1 which sim mond Abralının Laaks Plank ongages to pay to the Dire tor Kreft, or to help whom he shall have appointed, in three installments, the first at the fair in 1638, the rental in 1039, and the third and Just installment on the fair 1140, and if remained in default in three payments, then , fors hin- wolf ax his Mail, Rud as principal in lieu of the purchaser, Jacob Wertenb Plank, Sheriff in the rulony f Renselaurwyck, who premi o to my afure- mid 150 withenit any . pposition, for which they enluft their |uspona and property, real and personal, present and future, to the t aut Prosin tal of Holland, or any other lawful tribunal.
