ng districts which was to continue without material change for more than half a century. These papers, henceforth, will endeavor to emphasize everything on the records relating to this subject, as they give us our first knowledge of the school in that part of the town which afterwards was set off to Medford, to Arlington, or became the town of Somerville. Unfortunately, our information for a time will have to be confined to the annual appropriations and the local committees appointed at the May town meeting. If access could be had to any existing private papers of the Tufts family, of the Rands, Kents, Frosts, Russells, etc., the few men of that period who administered the affairs of our section of Charlestown, no doubt much interesting material might be found. By consulting Wyman's valuable work and the Brooks-Usher history of Medford, we can determine readily to which section those on the various committees were devoted. Four or five districts must have been represented, which

We close the list at this point, as by the next May the town of Medford had taken on a more definite form, and Charlestown, in consequence, suffered a considerable diminution in territory.

May 16, 1748, of his salary (£ 120 as Representative), he gives £ 40 to the poor within the Neck and £ 80 for the use of the school without the Neck. The next May meeting he gives his year's salary for whatever use the town desires. Again, he donates one-half of his last year's salary to the school without the Neck, and one-half to the school within the Neck. In 1752 Mr. Royal is again elected to the Gene<

The VIIIth of May (1605) my soonne & his wife came to Groton from London, and the IXth I made a marriage feast, etc. The above records show that Governor Winthrop was but seventeen years old when married. He immediately came under Mr. Culverwell's ministry, to which, in a confession of his youthful sinfulness made in after life, he ascribes his conversion to Christianity; of which he says, The ministry of the word came home to my heart with power. . . . I could no longer dally with religion. . . . I had an

nd perhaps a second man to teach writing. Mr. John Rand was engaged to finish out the term until May, at twenty shillings per week. This committee reported that it is for the interest of the town t, as it is impossible for any one man to teach the children of the town in both capacities. In May the town voted a marvelous sum, as compared with the amounts of previous years,—£ 900, old tenor, question, and many were dissatisfied with the way Mr. Sweetser had been treated; for at the next May meeting, 1751, the town voted to have but one schoolmaster within the Neck for the present year, smallpox broke out, though not for the first time.

ords. May 5, 1777, the town voted to fix up the block house for a schoolhouse. If there was no building suitable for housing the school after the battle of Bunker Hill, the query rises, what was done with it during these two years? By the next May (1778) the town had so recovered from the shock of war that £ 140 was appropriated for schools, and the annual sums voted for 1779 and 1780 were £ 500 and £ 400, respectively. In December of the last-named year—how impossible is it for us to copeJuly 29, 1786, he received an order from the town treasurer for the balance due him to the twenty-fifth, being an amount nearly equal to two years salary. March 5, 1787, Mr. Holbrook retires as town clerk, and is given a vote of thanks. The next May we find Samuel Payson serving as town clerk and schoolmaster, with the usual compensation for both. His term of office extended well into the next decade. The annual appropriations, over and above the school funds, for all expenses, both withi
