t she relinquished the scheme, and Mr. Gilman took it up. The house on Mason Street was bought for the school, and there it remained until three years ago, when the present edifice was erected and ready for occupancy. During this period, the original building had been constantly enlarged as the numbers increased, and when pupils began to come from a distance, a residence was erected at No. 21 Chauncy Street, and prepared for them. This was named for the wife of the first governor of Massachusetts, Margaret Winthrop Hall. When this became too limited in accommodation for the demand upon it, the residence of Mr. William D. Howells was obtained, and opened for the same purpose. By this plan the school remains a day school, and the residences are real homes. It has been a part of Mr. Gilman's plan to have no instructor living in the residences, so that the pupils and teachers are separate, and come fresh together at the beginning of the school-day. The heads of the residences a

with the name of the great Agassiz, which was opened in his residence in 1855 and closed in 1863, during a portion of those years when the professor was stimulating scientific study in a way that no other single master has ever stimulated it in America. See Scientific Cambridge, by Professor Trowbridge, p. 74.— editor. It is interesting to read of the enthusiasm with which the great teacher entered upon the labor of this school. It was in the winter of 1855, when his physical energy had beol in a masterly way, and succeeded admirably. She herself did not teach, but everything regarding the teaching came under her supervision. As the fees were high, the school was a very select one, and pupils came from different parts of the United States, even from as far west as St. Louis. It was considered a great privilege to be taught by such a naturalist as Agassiz, and all the girls whose parents could afford it were anxious to join the school. Of course, the great attraction was Agas

My instruction is only intended to show you the thoughts in nature which science reveals, and the facts I give you are useful only, or chiefly, for this object. . . . Agassiz had the cooperation not only of his brother-in-law, Professor Felton, but of others among his colleagues, who took classes in special departments, or gave lectures in history or literature. Among these additional instructors was Luigi Monti, the Young Sicilian of Longfellow's Wayside Inn, In sight of Etna born and bred, who was at the time teaching in Harvard College. Mr. Kendall's School. Mr. Joshua Kendall's Day and Family School to fit young men for Harvard College was begun in the fall of 1865, its nucleus being some pupils whom Mr. Kendall had taught at his own home, and some others whom he had had with Professor William P. Atkinson, before that gentleman accepted the professorship of English and history at the Institute of Technology. For several years,

Arnold, until that gentleman left to be librarian of the Dane Law School. Since that time, the school has been carried on by Mr. and Mrs. Kendall, assisted from time to time, in special departments, especially in laboratory work in physics, by competent teachers, easily procured in the vicinity.

Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Co., 1886, pp. 525-529. Jules Marcou, in his life of Agassiz, says that Mrs. Agassiz had the whole management of the school; everything was referred to her as director. She took the directorship of Agassiz's school in a masterly way, and succeeded admirably. She herself did notlisten to the lectures, which were so clear and so entertaining that every one followed with the greatest attention the subjects brought up by their great teacher, however difficult they might be. Life, Letters, and Works of Louis Agassiz, by Jules Marcou. New York and London, 1896, II. pp. 60, 61. Mrs. Agassiz says that Mr. Agassiz never had an audience more responsive than the sixty or seventy girls who gathered every day at the close of the morning to hear his daily lecture; nor did he

antly situated opposite the Common, near the Washington Elm, next to Radcliffe College. It attracts not only pupils from the neighboring towns, but also families from distant parts of the country, who come to Cambridge to live during the education of their children. The Cambridge School for girls. The Cambridge School for Girls, which now occupies the building numbered 79 on Brattle Street, was opened in October, 1886, in the house numbered 20 on Mason Street, formerly the home of Professor Peck of Harvard College, and has therefore just completed its tenth year. The number of pupils at present is about one hundred, but it was not at first intended to include so many. Mrs. Arthur Gilman, whose interest in the higher education of women had led her to induce her husband to make the plan which resulted in Radcliffe College, wished to have a small class for the instruction of her own children, and it was only when she found that there were many other mothers who wished to send the

In the fall of 1883, at the suggestion of Professor Child, Professor Norton, and others interested in the establishment in Cambridge of a school for boys which should effectively meet the demands of the new education, the Browne and Nichols School was founded at No. 11 Appian Way. The principals hae broad-minded Lowell. Thus an atmosphere is created which is calculated to sustain the studious spirit. Fitting School for boys and girls. In 1879, Miss K. V. Smith was encouraged by Ezra Abbot, John Fiske, Charles Eliot Norton, and Francis J. Child to open a private school for boys and girls at 16 Ash Street. It was removed the next year to 5 Phillips Place, and again changed to 54 Garden Street, and in 1887 to its present high and sunny locality at 13 Buckingham Street. The school

is short, and only for recitations, responsibility for study hours at home being a part of the disciplinary value of the school. In place of any systematic marking in lessons or in conduct, the school has been controlled by a spirit of honor and an enthusiastic interest in work,—the legacy of the first class. The class-rooms have been opened freely to the parents and to friends of education. These educational departures won from the first the support and sympathy of the best patronage. This school was the first private co-educational institution for college preparation in Cambridge. Besides the private schools mentioned, there are several others. Miss Jeannette Markham has one for girls on Buckingham Place, and Miss Elizabeth Manson established a kindergarten in October, 1887, which at present occupies the house No. 46 Concord Avenue, near the Harvard Observatory.
