Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Adams as a Schoolmaster In the summer of 1755, John Adams, when not quite twenty years of age, became the teacher of the grammar school in Worcester, Mass., then a town of 1,500 inhabitants. According to an ordinance of the General Court, in 1647, that a town of fifty householders should have a school, Worcester, four years after its incorporation in 1722, had hired its first schoolmaster. Five years later, "whereas, many small children cannot attend ye Schoole in ye Centre of ye Town by Reason of ye remoteness of their Dwellings, and to ye intent that all children may have ye benefite of Education," the town voted a suitable number of "Schoole Dames" or "Gentlewomen," to be placed in ye Several parts of ye Town as ye Selectmen may think most convenient." Upon the town´s increase to one hundred families or householders, a grammar school, according to law, became a necessity. Rev. Thaddeus Maccarty, the clergyman of the town, being empowered by the selectmen to provide a schoolmaster, went to Harvard College to obtain one. At the Commencement exercises of the class of that year, 1755, he was especially impressed with one of the graduates, John Adams. The good scholarship, bold thought, strong language, and evident sincerity of the young man seemed to him good recommendation for the teaching career.
