Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Board of Trustees of the Charlestown Free Schools: Made in Pursuance of the Act of 1838; Together With the Report of the Treasurer of the Board The Board of Trustees of the Charlestown Free Schools, in compliance with the requisitions of a law of this Commonwealth, respectfully submit the following as their Annual Report. The labors of the Board during the past year, have been of an important and difficult nature. The building of three School Houses; the repairs made on several of the old ones; the establishment of five schools; the alteration of the several school districts; the addition of backs to all the seats in the grammar schools within the Peninsula; together with the customary cares of superintendence; have comprised duties, arduous and responsible. In their performance, the Board have endeavored to act with a single eye to the immediate wants of the Schools and the permanent interests of the Town. In May last, six hundred and fifty four scholars were enrolled in the Harvard and the Winthrop Schools, and over one hundred were qualified to enter from the Primaries; making over two hundred more scholars than there were seats for their accommodation in the school rooms. Taking into consideration this condition of the schools, as well as the probability of a future increase of pupils, the Board felt constrained, in their last Annual Report, to recommend the immediate establishment of a new Grammar School within the Peninsula. They, also, then advised the erection of a School House, expressing the opinion, that it would "be the best economy for the town to construct a large and permanent building sufficiently commodious to contain all the conveniences necessary for a modern school"; and they recommended the Elliot School House, recently erected in Bennet Street, Boston, as a model. Accordingly the town, at the May meeting, appropriated the sum of fifteen thousand dollars for the purchase of land and the erection of a School House, "according to the accompanying report;" and the Board took immediate measures to carry this vote into effect. A lot of land contain 7630 feet and situated at the corner of Summer and North Pleasant Streets, was purchased of Mr. Jonathan Brown at 34 cents a foot: selected for its peculiar fitness for the purpose and for its location in the centre of a dense and increasing population.
