hool, as well as the chief representative of the colonial schoolmaster, is Ezekiel Cheever, who taught for seventy years, the last thirty-eight of them as master of the Boston Grammar School. Cheever himself contributed little to literature except a Latin Accidence, probably the earliest American school book, entitled A short iuor; liquid gold Should fill the pen by which such things are told. Another of Cheever's pupils was Judge Sewall, who has left us in his diary some details of the schooling of his children. After hearing Mather's funeral oration upon Cheever, Sewall made in this diary but one brief entry about their departed master: He abominat in charm. Nathaniel Hawthorne's Grandfather's chair retells the story of Ezekiel Cheever; and Daffy-down-dilly and other stories draw on the rich experience of theaphy, and an elegant trifling with the modern and the Oriental languages.

January 30, 1671, the Charlestown records say: ‘Mr. Benjamin Thompson began to teach the schoole in this Towne.’ The agreement between him and the selectmen reads as follows:— 1. That he shall be paid £ 30 per annum by the Towne and to recfit) in grammar learning, at the desire of their friends, will give him the reputation of keeping a grammar school, so be it.’ We have given this incident, not as a piece of historical gossip, but to show that the youth of Charlestown, as in Cheever's time, did not get their education wholly from the Town Hill school.
