Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 2., The development of the public School of Medford. (search)
ext adjournment. There is no record of the adjourned meeting, which was set for October 22, and the next town meeting held December 14 had nothing about schools. But if the town had possessed a house of its own at this time it would not be likely to hire a place or places for the school to be kept in. Likewise in December, 1726, we find the town voted to have a Writting School for three months and the committee were instructed to Hire a School House for the time above said. And again, Nov. 25. 1728, the committee were chosen to select a teacher and appoint a place. The same vote was passed Nov. 17, 1729. Beginning with 1729, we have another source of evidence added in the Treasurer's Book. On the very first page of his account we find the entry: To Cash pd to Deacn Willis for ye use of a Room for ye Schole £ 1-10s. The dates of the first pages are obliterated so that we can tell only by the dates on the credit side—the right-hand page of the account—what the date should be.
