Charlestown schools without the Peninsula Revolutionary period. Frank Mortimer Hawes
(Continued.)
In closing our account of this period, it remains to speak of the Alewife Brook and the Gardner Row schools, both at the upper end of Charlestown.
After 1790, when the four schools were designated by numbers, these were known as No. 3 and No. 4.,
As we have before stated, the Alewife Brook district probably comprised that part of our city which lies west of College avenue. It extended well up into, Arlington, and took in that part of Menotomy which belonged to Charlestown.
The Gardner Row district extended along by the Mystic ponds as far as old Woburn line.
Like the Milk Row school, the affairs of these districts were managed, for the most part, by a local committeeman, who was usually selected at the annual town meeting in May.
The selectmen were supposed to, have control of all school affairs, and at times, when dissatisfaction arose, mostly from economical reasons,

Charlestown schools after 1793 By Frank Mortimer Hawes
(Continued.)
Since our reference to Samuel Holbrook, schoolmaster of Charlestown (Vol.
III., p. 68) an interesting article has appeared in the New England Genealogical Register, Vol. 58, p. 308, which informs us that he was born in Boston, 1729, the son of Abiah and Mary (Needham) Holbrook.
His eldest brother, Abiah, Jr., was a distinguished schoolmaster of Boston, from 1741 to his death in 1768 or 1769.
Samuel began to teach in 1745 as his brother's assistant, and in 1750 was receiving a salary of £ 50 as usher of the South Writing School.
In 1769 he succeeded his brother as master of this school, at a salary of £ 100. In 1770 one Thomas Parker complained that Master Holbbrook had given his son an unreasonable correction, but apparently no action was taken.
In 1776 Mr. Holbrook received an extra £ 80 on account of the high cost of living, and in 1777 he was allowed £ 100 for the same reason.
He seems to have continu

Charlestown schools after 1812 By Frank Mortimer Hawes
(Continued.)
Before continuing our account of the Charlestown schools, we wish to speak briefly of some of the earlier trustees who honored their office with years of valuable service.
Charlestown can point with pride to the long list of men who served her so faithfully.
One need but look to the original board of 1793 to see that only her first citizens were considered worthy to be directors of school affairs.

1795 and 1796, the same, with the exception of Mr. Hawkins, who was succeeded by Timothy Tufts.
