COATS OF ARMS OF THE TOWNS


BARRINGTON


Gules a sword palewise argent hilted or. On a red field in a vertical position a silver sword with gold hilt.


The sword symbolizes Barrington's part in the American Revolution.


BRISTOL


Barry undy azure and argent on a chief of the second a mount vert. Shield divided hor- izontally. Upper third silver with a green hill, lower two thirds wavy blue and silver horizontal stripes. The green mount represents Mount Hope, and the wavy blue and white bars represent water; that is Mount Hope bay.


BURRILLVILLE


Or a saltire gules, on a chief azure a cres- cent between two etoiles pierced of six points or. On a gold field a red diagonal cross, with a blue stripe at the top of the field, on which is a gold crescent between two golden six- pointed stars pierced with a hole through the centre.


These are the arms used by the Burrill family in New England. James Burrill, for whom Burrillville was named, belonged to this family.


CENTRAL FALLS


Gules, on a pale argent three pallets wavy azure. On a red field a vertical white stripe charged with three narrow wavy vertical blue stripes. An heraldic representation of a water- fall.


Central Falls was named from the falls.


CHARLESTOWN


Argent an Indian gules. A red Indian on a silver shield. The Royal Indian Burial Ground is located in Charlestown.


COVENTRY


Per fess gules and vert, an elephant and castle or. Shield divided horizontally red and green, with a golden elephant and castle.


Coventry was named for Conventry in Eng- land, and the arms of the English town of Coventry are: "Per pale gules and vert an elephant and castle or." The change from per pale to per fess is to difference the arms of the


Rhode Island town from those of her English namesake, in accordance with good heraldic usage.


CRANSTON


Gules three cranes within a border embat- tled argent. On a red shield three silver cranes within an embattled silver border.


Cranston was named for Governor Samuel Cranston and these are his arms.


CUMBERLAND


Argent on a pile gules a lozenge of the first. Silver shield with red triangle with point downward, on which is a silver diamond.


Cumberland was formerly called the Attle- boro Gore, which is symbolized by the heraldic pile. The lozenge or diamond on the pile refers to Diamond Hill and its quartz, one of the well-known features of Cumberland.


EAST GREENWICH


Or on a pale azure an hour glass argent on a chief of the second two anchors of the first. Gold shield, with a silver hour glass on a vertical blue stripe, and at the top of the shield two gold anchors on a horizontal blue stripe.


East Greenwich was named for East Green- wich, England. The significant feature in the arms of Greenwich, England, is azure an hour glass argent, in recognition of the fact that time and longitude are based on the Greenwich observatory. This salient feature is signifi- cantly combined with two gold anchors, one to show that East Greenwich is in Rhode Is- land, and the other to show it has a harbor.


EAST PROVIDENCE


Argent three geese volant sable. Three black geese flying on a silver shield. The black goose is derived from the former name of the district Seekonk, which in the Indian tongue means black goose.


EXETER


Per fess gules and sable, a triangular triple towered castle or. Shield divided horizontally red and black, with a golden castle. These arms are those of Exeter in England, "Per pale gules and sable a triangular triple towered castle or," differenced by changing per pale to per fess.


Exeter was named for Exeter, England.

A Report of the Tercentenary Commission


FOSTER


Argent a chevron vert between three hunt- ing horns sable, within a border of the second. On a silver shield a green chevron between three blackhunting horns all within a green border.


Foster was named for Senator Theodore Foster, and the arms are the ancient Foster coat with a border for difference, on account of the fact that there is no evidence that Theo- dore Foster himself used arms.


GLOCESTER


Or three chevrons between three Indian arrowheads gules. On a golden shield three red chevrons between three red arrowheads. This device is based on the arms of Gloucester, England, which uses "or three chevrons, gules," the arms of the ancient family of Clare, who were Earls of Gloucester, differ- enced by the addition of ten torteaux. In the above arms the torteaux have been changed for difference to three Indian arrowheads, to sig- nify that Glocester, R. I., is in America.


HOPKINTON


Sable a chevron ermine between three pistols or, on a chief gules a quill pen argent. On a black shield an ermine chevron between three golden pistols, with a silver quill pen on a red strip at the top. The chief motive of the device is the ancient arms of the Hopkins family, but as there is no evidence that Stephen Hop- kins himself used any coat of arms, a chief has been added for difference in accordance with heraldic usage, and this chief is charged with a quill pen, significant of the fact that Hopkins was a signer of the Declaration of Independence.


The town was named for Stephen Hopkins.


JAMESTOWN


Vert a sheep argent. A silver sheep on a green shield. This device appears on the seal of Jamestown, which dates from the early colonial period. The device was chosen because of the importance of the sheep raising industry in early days.


JOHNSTON


Argent a saltire sable, on a chief gules three cushions or. On a silvershield a black diag- onal cross, with three golden cushions on a red stripe at the top.


The town of Johnston was named for Attorney General Augustus Johnston, who came from Perth Amboy, N. J. The family of Johnstons residing there used these arms.


LINCOLN


Argent, on a cross gules a fleur-de-lis or, on a chief of the second an axe of the third. A golden fleur-de-lis on a red cross on a silver shield, with a golden axe on a red stripe at the top. These are the arms of Lincoln, Eng- land, differenced by the addition of a chief with an axe, emblematic of Abraham Lincoln, for whom the town was named.


LITTLE COMPTON


Argent on a bend azure between two geese volant sable, an Indian arrow of the first. A silver arrow on a diagonal blue stripe, on a silver shield, with a flying black goose on either side of the stripe.


The Indian name of the district was Sakonet, signifying the land of the black goose. The Indian Squaw Sachem Awashonks lived within the confines of the town.


MIDDLETOWN


Vert a Dutch windmill argent. A silver windmill on a green shield. The device of a Dutch windmill appears on the town's seal.


NARRAGANSETT


Per fess in chief argent on a mount vert a lighthouse sable, in base azure a native fishing boat of the first. Shield divided horizontally. In the upper part a black lighthouse on a green point on a silver field. In lower part a silver boat on a blue field.


NEW SHOREHAM


Per pale, dexter argent crusily sable a lion rampant contourne azure; sinister, per fess in chief azure a native boat (i. e. Block Island double-ender) argent, in base gules a fish or. Shield divided vertically. Right side a blue rampant lion facing towards the center of the shield and surrounded by black crosses on a silver field. Left side divided horizontally, on the upper half a silver boat on blue, and on the lower half a golden fish on red. These are the arms of Shoreham in England, differenced by having on the sinister half of the shield, devices of local significance instead of the arms of England.


New Shoreham was named for Shoreham in England.


NEWPORT


Azure an arched tower argent. The arched tower argent is the old stone mill shown in silver or white, which is the heraldic tincture most nearly approaching its color. It appears on a blue shield. This device appears upon the Newport City Flag.

The Rhode Island Tercentenary 1636-1936


NORTH KINGSTOWN


Argent a chevron between three leopards' faces gules, on a chief of the last two Indian arrowheads of the first. On a silver field a red chevron between red leopard's faces, with two silver arrowheads on a red stripe at the top. These are the arms of Richard Smith, the first permanent settler in the town, differenced by a chief charged with two arrowheads for the Indian natives.


NORTH PROVIDENCE


Gules a fountain, a chief dancetty argent. A ball striped horizontally with blue and white wavy lines, on a red shield with a silver stripe at the top of the shield.

NORTH SMITHFIELD


Vert a chevron between three smith's ham- mers argent, on a chief azure an etoile of the second. A silver chevron bteween three silver hammers on a green field, with a silver star with wavy rays on a blue stripe at the top.

The colors are taken from the arms of Ports- mouth, England, viz .: Azure a crescent within its jaws an etoile of eight points or.


The town was named for Portsmouth, Eng- land.


PROVIDENCE


Argent, the landing of Roger Williams proper. On a silver shield the landing of Roger Williams depicted in proper colors. This device was officially adopted as the city's seal in 1845, and was placed on a shield on the seal, so that it became the arms of the city. The previous coat of arms of the city is now the coat of arms of the Board of Aldermen.


RICHMOND


Azure a colonial house argent. A silver house on a blue field. This house has been used so long on the seal of Richmond, that nobody now knows what house it originally repre- sented.


SCITUATE


Per fess in chief or a plow sable, in base gules a fountain. Shield divided horizontally. Upper part a black plow on gold, lower part an heraldic fountain (See North Providence) on red.

The Rhode Island Tercentenary 1636-1936


THE SCHOOL FILM,


"COLONIAL RHODE ISLAND"


ROM January to the end of the school year in June and from September to November 20, the Rhode Island Tercentenary Commission showed in the schools of the State and before various organizations, a three reel film representing episodes in Rhode Island history and phases of the life of the Rhode Island colonists. The picture began with the life and customs of the Narragansett Indians and ended with the session of the General Assembly which on May 4, 1776, passed the Rhode Island Declaration of Independence-the first formal repudiation of British rule, by any of the thirteen English colonies in America.


The picture, shown by courtesy of the Providence School Department, was made in 1934 by the teachers and pupils of the Laurel Hill Avenue platoon school, in Providence, the scenario being by Mrs. Alice Collins Gleeson, a Providence teacher. Eight hundred and forty children in grades three, four, five and six, took part in the production; three hundred and seventy-eight different pupils appear on the screen.


"Colonial Rhode Island" is in three episodes, each of which is made up of two, four-hundred foot reels of 16mm film.


The first episode shows Indian life in Rhode Island before and after the coming of the white man, the participants being children of grades three and four. This was filmed in the open at Johnston and in the Laurel Hill Avenue school.


The second part of Episode One shows the home of Roger Williams in Salem, his flight after his banishment and his arrival at the home of Massassoit, his first settlement at what now is East Providence-the episode being filmed at the actual spring where Williams and his companions first settled-and the trading post at Sowans, now Warren. It ends with the voyage of Williams down the Seekonk and up the Providence River to "the spring beside the Mooshassuck" where he founded Providence Plantations.

A Report of the Tercentenary Commission


The second episode shows the history of home-making in the Colonies and its influence on life today. Opening with the white men and Indians living in harmony in Rhode Island, it continues with scenes in the community, shows William Blackstone on his famous bull, the death of Canonicus in the Narragansett country, Roger Williams as keeper of the tollgate at Providence in 1640, and the arrival of Williams from England, with the new charter. It ends with the Coddington Commission at Newport, and the second charter for Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.


In the third episode is shown how communications, occupa- tions and early travel were carried on, the industries carried on in the homes, early trading and commerce in Rhode Island and the early schools.


It opens with privateering days, 1762, Esek Hopkins and Abraham Whipple selling two prize cargoes. Market Day in 1770, the brick schoolhouse and Shakespeare's Head, the first printing office, on Gaol street, now Meeting street; the first school and the visit of Moses Brown which led to the Moses Brown school; these cover the first two episodes.


Social life at Newport is shown with a ball at the Wanton home, in episode three. The Providence Tea Party, March 1, 1775 is shown, filmed in front of the old Market House on Market Square, where it occurred. The episode ends with the meeting of the General Assembly at the old State House in Providence and the passage of the act replacing the authority of the British King by that of the Colony of Rhode Island, on all legal papers, May 4, 1776.


This film has been called one of the best teaching instruments ever devised. For its better use to this end, the Tercentenary Commission printed a Teacher's Manual, prepared by the Provi- dence School Department, explaining the picture, its object and its use. Of this manual, 2000 copies were distributed.


The film was shown in public schools throughout the State, in several private schools and in most of the schools in the Catholic school system. The Tercentenary Commission furnished an oper- ator, projector, screen and window shades when needed. For schools having a projector and furnishing their own operator, an extra film was provided for loan. The Commission's operator was

assigned by the Works Progress Administration which paid his wages, the Commission making reimbursement for use of his automobile. Through weather fair and foul he filled assignments without fail, not only for schools, but also for parent-teacher organizations, churches, boy's clubs and others.


During the summer, when the schools were closed, the oper- ator was used to distribute literature to the log cabin information booths maintained by the Tercentenary Commission. He served the Commission until November 20, when the torch was passed to the State Department of Education, which continued the work with the equipment turned over to it by the Tercentenary Com- mission.


For here, again, the Tercentenary Commission's funds were spent with a view to permanent benefits and its equipment- projector, three sets of the picture, display screen and the rest- will continue to be used for years to come, to teach Rhode Island children visually, the glorious history of the most individual of the thirteen original States.
