In his report for 1858, President Hill called attention to the fact, that the High School fur- nished equal privileges to the two sexes; and


in contrast therewith, cited the case of New York City, which had a boasted Free Academy for Boys, but no lligh School for Girls. He also referred to the High School of Philadel- phia, organized in 1838, with no provision of that sort for Girls. Boston's High School, es- tablished in 1821, was solely for the male sex until 1855; while Chicago had no such provi- sion for Girls until 1856. On the contrary, at the very outset of Toledo's School system, equality in sex was recognized and provided for-a fact worthy of special record.


" The Coronation of the Rose, as Queen of Flowers," was presented in High School llall, Toledo, under the direction of Professor C. S. Crossman, Teacher of Music, May 9, 1862. The programme was about as follows :


The chorus, " We are the Flowers," was sung by 40 young ladies, each dressed with reference to the flower she represented. Mrs. C. O. Brigham (now deceased) and Miss Sophie Hill furnished piano music. The Recluse was personated by Prof. Crossman. The solos were as follows : Rose-Maggie Langhlin ; Lily -Carrie R. Waggoner : Crocus-Cora Scott : Dahlia- Maria Woodruff; Heliotrope-Sarah Yardley; Mignon- ette-Nellie Keith ; Japonica-Mary Williams ; Sun- flower -- Sophie Commager ; Violet-Julia Scott ; Tu- lip-Josephine Williams; Hollyhock-Mary Bluff; Dandelion-Sarah Koch ; Touch-me-not - Emma Parmelce.


The Nightingale was represented by a flute. Up- wards of 30 " Heather Bells" were on the persons of as many little misses dressed in white, who "came from the hill side " to aid in the coronation.


Miss Martha Eastman, one of the most suc- cessful instructors of the Public Schools, having resigned such position, left Toledo l'or Califor- nia, in May, 1862. Subsequently she was mar- ried in that State, where she died.


Of 2,000 enrolled pupils of the Toledo Public Schools for year ended September 1, 1857, but six died ; as did the same number during the preceding year.


The first female School Examiner for Lucas County, was Miss Henrietta P. Ainger (now Mrs. W. T. Ridenonr), who was appointed as such in May, 1870.
