CHAPTER XXII.


THE CITY SCHOOL SYSTEM-THE FIRST ATTEMPTS AT SCHOOLS-HOW THEY BEGAN IN BERGEN, HUD- SON CITY AND GREENVILLE-GROWTH AND COST-THE PRESENT SYSTEM-COMPLETE LIST OF OFFICERS, CENSUS, ENROLLMENT AND APPROPRIATIONS.


HE education of the young was one of the first duties attended to by the people who settled in what is now Jersey City. The town of Bergen has the honor of opening the first public school in New Jersey. It was supported by a public tax. Two years after the town was begun the town authorities engaged Engelbert Steenhuysen, a tailor, to teach a public school. His license was dated October 6, 1662, and it is believed that he began to teach on that day. At first the school was in his dwelling, but in 1663 a log school-house was built on the northeast corner of Academy Street and Bergen Square. This building served for many generations of children. It was torn down in 1790 to make way for a stone building much more pretentious in size and appearance.


This school-house was called the Columbia Academy, the name showing the patriotic im- pulses of the town officials at that time when the scars of the revolutionary war had scarcely healed. In 1857 this building was torn down to make room for a modern school-house. The structure erected at that time is still in use as Public School No. 11. A portion of the material of the old edifice was built into the rear wall of the new school, and is still there, a patch of stone work in a brick wall. The weather-vane from the old cupola was placed on top of the school-house, and the quaint old rooster is still showing which way the wind blows as it did more than a hundred years ago. The old Columbia Academy afforded sufficient accommodation for the resident pupils, and for a good many boys from other localities. The classical depart- ment offered facilities for preparing boys to enter college. COLUMBIA ACADEMY.


The first school in Paulus Hook was built by the Associates. The land was given by them in 1806, and the town authorities, composed of members of the company, provided the money for the building. It was originally intended to add to the inducements offered to settlers. The building was completed in February, 1807, and was located on the two lots east of St. Matthew's Church. It was used as a town hall and also served as a meeting-house for a number of relig- ious bodies before there were enough of members to build a church. The earlier efforts to maintain a school were not successful. The school was known as the Mechanics' Institute. In the years preceding 1830 Charles Gardner and William Meigs, with Miss Mirzah Betts, kept the school. Later they had Julia C. Betts, and still later Mary Farrell as assistants. It was not a free school. There was also a school maintained by subscription, known as the Columbia Public School. Both schools failed financially. On July 14, 1834, the selectmen appointed a special committee to treat with the two schools in order to get them consolidated and put under the town management. At that time the Mechanics' Institute was called the Jersey Academy. They soon reached a basis for the transfer, and in 1835 the selectmen reorganized it as the Me- chanics' School. Dr. Albert Thorndyke Smith, a young man from one of the Eastern States,


142


HISTORY OF JERSEY CITY.


was employed as teacher. He received a small allowance from the selectmen and charged tuition fees. When the new charter of 1838 created the mayor and common council the city government took speedy action in relation to the school. Less than two months after the new board of council organized the building was removed to the rear of the lot, and refitted for use as school-house, town hall and jail, at a cost of $1,300, a very considerable sum for the little town.


The trustees of the Columbia Public School were unable to support the school, and their debts produced lawsuits. The semi-public character of their school gave them a color of a claim against the city, and in 1844 the trustees of the late school petitioned the common coun- cil for aid in settling the claims. It was not until January 3, 1845, that the council granted $100 to Joseph Dodd, Daniel Crane, Lorenzo Jaquins and David Jones, the trustees of the late school, on condition that the city should be saved from further claims in connection with their enterprise.


On July 23, 1843, the State school money, the receipts from liquor licenses and the money received from the Bergen township funds were appropriated for the public school, then first called School No. 1. It was still held in the town house. It was not yet a free school. Primary pupils paid fifty cents a quarter and pupils in the higher branches paid one dollar a quarter. Those who could not afford this were taught and their fees were charged against the public funds. In 1847 the council appointed a committee to prepare plans for a new school building. This committee spent several weeks in examining public schools, and finally decided to duplicate School No. 18, on Forty-first Street, New York. On February 19, 1847, they bought four lots on York Street, west of Washington Street, for $4,000 as a school site. R. C. Bacot drew the plans for the school-house and Robert Brown built it. The contract price was $9,000. r This building forms the central portion of the present structure. Originally there were yards on each side, but they were subsequently built up. The new school had six teachers, and their salaries aggregated $2,300.

The council committee that had charge of the new school was composed of Dr. Vroom, TOWN HALL AND SCHOOL. Fred. Betts and Stephen D. Harrison. On January 1, 1848, the council adopted a resolution appointing Dr. Smith, George H. Linsley, Miss Mary Westry, Miss C. D. Wilson, Mrs. Eliza J. Eveland and Hannah J. Roy as the corps of teachers for the new school. There were 145 primary scholars, 98 in the female department and 142 in the male department on February 8, 1848, when the school was opened. Mr. Linsley was chosen principal. He still retains the position. Mrs. Eveland also remains in the service as principal of the primary department in School No. 2, both having served continuously nearly forty-seven years. The surviving pupils of the first decade in No. 1 formed an association a few years ago, and on each anniversary of Mr. Linsley's birthday a banquet is given, at which the old principal is the honored guest. Mr. Linsley was seventy-three years of age at the anniversary of 1894.


In 1851 Principal Linsley began to have his teachers meet in the school on Saturday for training in theory and practice. He also admitted candidates for teachers' certificates, and, so far as can be learned from the school records, this was the first Normal School in the country. It was a voluntary effort on Mr. Linsley's part, and it was so successful and filled such a want that the committee on schools established a Saturday Normal School in 1856, and Mr. Linsley continued to serve as principal of the Normal School until it was superseded in 1879 by the Training School department of the lligh School.


The trustees of the Catholic parochial school made numerous efforts to secure a division of the school funds, but always failed. The officials would not take action on their petitions unless they would surrender their schools to the city. Timothy McCarthy was the only teacher in the

parish school, and he had 300 pupils. This school grew rapidly, and in 1851 had 420 pupils. James Brann was principal and Henry Brann assistant in the male department. Margaret Carey was principal of the female department, and Mary Dickinson was her assistant. When No. I was opened, a number of colored children were refused admittance, and the eolored resi- dents applied to the council for a part of the school funds. They did not succeed, but the council leased the old school building from Mr. Gregory, who had bought it at a sale, and main- tained a colored school for several years in it.


In 1839 William L. Dickinson opened a classical school for boys in the Lyceum building on Grand Street. In 1866 he was succeeded by Dr. W. Hasbrouck, who had conducted a school for boys in Mercer Street. He was the founder of Hasbrouck's Institute, which is noted else- where. Amos Kellogg conducted a large private school, between Storm and Fairmount avenues, for a number of years prior to 1873, and Rev. R. H. L. Tighe condueted a classical school in Fifth Street for a number of years after the war. There were a number of private schools for girls and children, but most of them were transient. Carpenter's school on Hudson, now Storm Avenue, in Bergen, and Miss Graves' school in Hudson City, were the best known in the early Fifties.


The first school in Harsimus was a pay school kept hy Isaac Corriell at his home. The date of its opening has not been re- corded. After the township of Van Vorst was created, the town committee made an arrangement with Corriell by which his school became the township school. It was moved to a two-story frame building on Third Street that had been used for manufacturing purposes, and the lower floor was for a time used as a carpenter shop. The building adjoined Kutzmeyer's eoal yard, and the Catholic Institute covers the site now. This was the only school in the township until 1856, when Dr. Wash- ington Hasbrouck opened a school for boys at 53 and 55 Mercer Street. Prior to that boys went to William L. Dickinson's school in the Lyceum, or to New York, the old North Moore Street public school being a favorite. Corriell's school was a public school with a good many pay schol- ars. It was under the charge of a com- mittee of the township committee.

The schools of Jersey City prior to the annexation of Van Vorst were cared for by a com- mittee of the common council, but the new charter provided for a board of education. It was organized on January 14, 1852, with twelve members, half of whom were from Van Vorst. There were then three schools in the department, and the salary list was $6,500 out of a total annual appropriation of $8,425. A Normal School was organized in 1854. It met in School No. I in York Street on Saturdays, with Principals Linsley and C. A. Yerrington as teachers. Yerrington had succeeded Corriell as principal of the " up-town " school. This Normal School was continued twenty-four years with the same teachers. The city schools were not effectively graded until 1860, when William L. Dickinson became a member of the school board and prac- tically reorganized the schools. Jersey City had accumulated school property worth $289,000 at the time of consolidation, and had a school population of 11,589. Hudson City had five schools, a fairly good organization and 5,594 children of school age. Bergen had four large school-houses, including the frame building at Harrison and Monticello avenues, and a small


144


HISTORY OF JERSEY CITY.


annex school in a wooden building on Tonelle Avenue near the railroad cut. This building was a mission church, started by Rev. Alex. Shaw in 1868, as an offshoot from the Bergen Reformed.


The total school census for the consolidated city was 20, 165, and a school board was organ- ized in 1870 with thirty-two members, two from each ward. E. O. Chapman, the ex-principal of the Hudson City High School was elected city superintendent, and W. L. Dickinson, assist- ant superintendent. They made an effort to secure uniformity between the three sections of the department, but had only a moderate degree of success.


In 1872, under the new charter, Thomas Potter became president, and W. L. Dickinson the superintendent. This was a strong combination. Potter had great energy and shrewd busi- ness ability. Dickinson was an experienced teacher and knew what should be done. The schools were brought under a harmonious system and many reforms were made. The High School was created that year, and a free public school library was opened. Thomas Potter was born in Rahway, in 1837, and was a resident of Jersey City for more than twenty-five years. He now lives in Rahway.


The High School was organized in 1872, in School No. 5 on Bay Street. This building was erected in 1871, and was designed to accommodate a primary school as well as the High School, and it had rooms for the use of the board of education, which met in the city hall prior to the completion of this school-house. In 1872 the High School building was burned down through the carelessness of artisans who were making repairs. It was rebuilt at once and was occupied in less than a year. George H. Barton was the first principal, and he had seventy- one pupils when the school opened. The average attendance has been about five hundred since then, and the school has deservedly grown in popularity. In 1892 a new site was bought for the High School. It is on the corner of Bergen and Fairmount avenues. There was some doubt about the desirability of the location, and the new building has not been undertaken.


The department to-day has 25 school buildings which, with their contents, are valued at $943,677.33. There are 41 principals, 414 assistant teachers, 25 janitors, and 19,000 pupils enrolled in the schools. The gradual increase in enrollment and expenses is shown in the fol- lowing table :
