Medford (search for this): chapter 6
Correction. One letter wrong makes a lot of difference sometimes. In our last issue appears on p. 69: Sunday School mistresses for poor, 32.98. The typesetter followed copy carefully in capitalization, but though proficient in the three R's, substituted an a for the one in Sundry, and the proof-reader, (and editor likewise) let it get by in four readings, to stare at us at publication. As it stands (Vol. XXII, p. 69), it is an anachronism as well as a mis-statement. There were no Sunday schools in Medford in 1819, and certainly Medford as a town never paid any teachers in such, had there been any. The statement should have read: Sundry School mistresses for poor 32.98.
