EDUCATIONAL.
The common school law of Pennsylvania was adopted by the borough of Sunbury immediately after its passage in 1834, and the public schools of the place have since heen conducted under its provisions. The first public school edifice was erected in 1835, on what is now the west side of Third street, be- tween Market and Chestnut. It was a brick structure, two stories high, and contained four school-rooms. This building furnished all the school accom- modations in the borough till 1866. Caketown was laid out in this year, but a school-house was erected there in 1865. It was a one-story brick, and cost about five hundred dollars. In 1866, were erected the north-east and south-west ward buildings, and in 1868, the north-west and south-east edifices. They are all of the same style of architecture, and cost some four thousand dollars apiece. In 1875, the school-board purchased the old frame Baptist church, adjacent to the south-east ward building, and the same is now occu- pied as a school-honse. The board are about to dispose of the Caketown school-house, and purpose to erect on a lot in the vicinity, a two-story brick edifice that , shall contain two rooms. In 1870, a system of grading was introduced into the Sunbury public schools, which system continues to the present time. In Angust, 1871, a high-school department was established, and Mr. G. G.
