ticed in this history? The writer of this has maintained, that, under the circumstances, it is not necessary; but he has at last been syllogized into the belief, that what was publicly done by a son of Medford towards the education-revival of 1835-7 belongs to the history of the town, and cannot be omitted without violating the rule followed in all other cases in town histories. Silenced rather than convinced, he yields to the wishes of those he has no right to disregard; and, omitting all deared in Sicily; but I have never read that the Sicilians mourned for the appearance of that foreign blessing among them. Bespeaking your patient forbearance under this epistolary infliction, I am, as ever, yours, truly, Charles Brooks. In 1837, voted to continue the primary schools through the year. To show how promptly our town took the form and pressure of the times, we need only state the appropriations annually made for the support of the schools; and, beginning with 1832, they s

No purchase was made; and in 1832 a committee is directed to sell the poorhouse, if they think it advisable. It is not done; and in 1837 the town again called up the subject, and appointed a committee to examine lands and close the bargain. But no farm was purchased. In 1849, the town bought a large lot of ten and a half acres in West Medford, on Purchase Street, for a cemetery

because it is so cut into long plank as to make less work to the builder. The materials for building at Medford may all be procured at a rate which will allow as favorable terms as at any other place, especially when the comparative rent of yards is included. If the water in the river had been deep enough for the large ships of the present day, the yards above the bridge would never have been abandoned. The increase of size in our Medford ships has been gradual. The Columbiana, built in 1837, was the first of six hundred tons; and the Ocean express, the first of two thousand tons. The ship Shooting Star was the first clipper built here; and the George Peabody, the first vessel that passed the bridges on Mystic River, after the draws had been widened according to the direction of the Legislature. The Rev. A. R. Baker preached a sermon on ship-building, in 1846, to which is appended a register of vessels built in Medford. He says, I have enrolled them so as to present the year

xpenses in 1815, when they say, The revenue of the town has, fortunately, been more than sufficient to meet its expenditures. The males in the alms-house were put to mending our highways. The keeper of the house and the surveyor directed their labors; and it took them most. of their time to accomplish the whole work. In 1830, they did three hundred and ninety-one days labor on the public roads; and the cost of each pauper's support then was seventy-eight and one-half cents per week. In 1837, a proposition was made to purchase some land attached to that then owned by the town near the alms-house. After mature deliberation, the committee to whom it was referred reported against the measure. Since the erection of the new house in 1852, the town's poor have not increased, though every good care is taken of them which their circumstances require. The town of Medford has always selected some of its best citizens to oversee and regulate the management of the poor; and they have pe
