During this year, 1935, America is celebrating the 300th anniversary of the birthday cf secondary schools. No school is too large to be uninterested or too small to be able to help in the celebration. Plans have been in formation since 1928, when a naticnal committee was appointed to begin collecting material and informing schools. By means of radio, newspapers, and magazines, the public is learning cf America's Tercentenary. This special issue of the annual 1935 Guccessue, is one of the Union City School's activities in keeping with the national celebration. .But education has not always been available for people all over the United States. The first public school in this country was established in Boston in the year 1635. It was named the Boston Latin School. It has had continued existence even to the present day. With one school leading the way, many such schools were establiched in Massachusetts. In the year 1647, twelve years after the founding of the first public school, a law was passed in the state cf Massachusetts requiring every town of fifty householders to maintain a master to teach reading and writing, and every town of one hundred householders to maintain a grammar school. The wages of the master were to be paid by the parents whose children took advantage of the instruction. In most of the New England colonies education was considered a public responsibility. New York, Pennsylvania, and the Southern colonies, however, did little in connection with schools preceding the Revolutionary War.
