ttend the public school two hours per day; and it was not until April 5, 1790, that the question was formally considered. On that day, a committee was chosen to inquire if it be expedient for girls to attend the master's school. The committee wisely recommended the affirmative; whereupon, at the next town-meeting, it was voted that girls have liberty to attend the master-school during three summer months. June 20, 1794: Voted that females attend the master-school separately, from the 1st of May to the 1st of October, four hours each day; and that the boys attend four hours each day,--Thursday and Saturday afternoons being vacations. No one was admitted under seven years of age, nor unless he could read and spell. Woman, as the first instructor of man, needs a double portion of culture; and, when we starve the mother, we curse the cradle. The course of study was, for the most part, meagre and impoverishing. The healthy curiosity of the mind was fed on the dryest husks of gra

Chapter 14: fire-department. The first action of the town relating to fires was May 12, 1760, when it was voted that two fire-hooks be provided for the use of the town. March 7, 1763: Voted to raise £ 26. 13s. 4d. for procuring a fire-engine, if the rest can be obtained by subscription. Hon. Isaac Royal, Stephen Hall, Esq., and Captain Seth Blodget, were chosen a committee to procure the engine and receive the subscriptions. This resulted in the purchase of an engine called the Grasshopper, which was placed near the market. This engine was removed to the West End, April 1, 1799 (when another had been obtained), and was kept in the barn attached to the Angier house. It is yet in existence, and is sometimes employed in pumping water into vessels. March 11, 1765: For the first time, nine fire-wards and twelve engine-men were appointed by vote of the town. In 1785, some gentlemen associated themselves under the name of the Medford Amicable fire Society, with the motto,
