Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Adams and Daniel Webster as Schoolmasters Some three weeks ago a Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution dedicated at Worcester, Mass., a tablet commemorative of the site of the original Worcester schoolhouse, - the site upon which, if not the house in which, John Adams taught immediately after his graduation from Harvard College, in 1755. It proved an occasion of interest, President G. Stanley Hall, of Clark University, and Senator George F. Hoar both contributing discriminating addresses of a character highly suggestive. Among the most interested of those present on this occasion was Miss Elizabeth Porter Gould, who subsequently called my attention to a paper she had prepared relating to the experiences of John Adams during his Worcester school-teaching, and of Daniel Webster during a similar experience at Fryeburg, in the State of Maine. This paper she asked me to read over, and I have since complied with her request. Prepared as a labor of love, but with great thoroughness, I found that Miss Gould´s sketch had an unquestionable interest of its own. The youthful school-teaching of two such very eminent men in New England history as John Adams and Daniel Webster could not but well repay any reasonable amount of investigation; and that given to it by Miss Gould has been fruitful of results.
