lot from Win. A. Blake and R. F. Johnson on the S. W. Cor of Centre and Toland Sts. and erected the present large and beautiful brick building.” It has been found very difficult to ascertain the exact cost of the new building owing to lost school records and the missing secretary and treasurer’s books. It is doubtful if any person can give a reliable statement of cost etc., and we therefore put it as stated by the late A. D. P. VanBuren about $16,IKK). The old district school regime held until 1863, when the graded system was adopted with its courses of study. The primary, intermediate, grammar, and high school departments have furnished our children with educational advantages equal to our colleges of early times, and we are glad to know that the larger part of our young people have availed themselves of the op¬ portunities offered. I think we, as a people, have reason to be proud of our schools, of the interest and foresight shown by past and present school officers, and the efficient services of faithful teachers. The establishment of chemical and physical labora¬ tories, known as the “William Schroder Memorial Laboratory Equipment,” in the school is the most marked feature of the past few years. While a small portion of our equipment was furnished by the board and pupils, the major and most valuable portion was donated to the school by Mrs Melinda J. Schroder, widow of William Schroder, deceased, who, as a busi¬ ness man, jiossessed the confidence and respect of our community, and who, when living, was always known to favor popular education. This furnishes to every child attending our school the means of instruction in the natural sciences equal to those of city schools. There was no formal graduation of classes until the years 76 and 77. Then a gap followed until ’81 and ’82, then another gap until ’87. Since then there have been yearly graduation of classes to date. Its one hundred forty-seven (147) graduates, besides scores of others who partially participated in its benefits, are witnesses of its utility. The list of the earlier school officers is some¬ what incomplete by reason of missing records. We can therefore only give a brief list, to-wit: Ralph Tuttle, Hugh M. Shafier, Dir.; J. W. Cotheeu, Wm. Schofield, Roswell Ransom, Dir.; J. W. Allen, John White, Dir.; J. R. Comings, J. M Lay, S. M. Mills, Ezra Stetson, Dir.; A. B. Sumner, R. A. A ' drich, Dir.; A. L. Mason, Fay Aldrich, E. C Stern, Dir.; Phillip Cory, Alvin Bur¬ dick, Marsh Gidduigs, Dir.; E. T. Mills, Isaac Mason, Jeremiah Cell, Dir.; John Seeley, Wm. Batt, Dir.; M. B. Rawson, Lyman Gates, IsaacCory, Milo Bust wick, B. A. Wing, M. L. Lynch, R. S. VanVIeet, Dir.; O. F. Burroughs, Dir.; William Blass, E. T. Cogswell. The names of the later school officers are as fol¬ lows: D. B. Hall, O. F. Burroughs, Dir.; D. K. Rogers, ♦Deceased.
