The Cambridge of eighteen hundred and ninety-six: a picture of the city and its industries fifty years after its incorporation (ed. Arthur Gilman), The public schools of Cambridge. (search)
g the sexes was begun,—a policy that is in vogue to-day in many grammar schools in the older sections of the city as well as in the four central high schools. Doubtless there were girls as well as boys in the early dame schools. These were private schools that received children of the kindergarten age, although they were far from being conducted in the kindergarten spirit. In the old cemetery near Harvard Square lies the body of one of these useful dames, Mrs. Joanna Winship, who died in 1707. The tombstone of slate is solemnly decorated with crossbones, coffins, and a winged head, and bears the following quaint inscription, which is correct in point of fact and sound in metre, whatever may be thought of its poetic fire:— This good school dame No longer school must keep, Which gives us cause For children's sake to weep. If girls received other education than that of the dame schools in the colonial or in the provincial period, it was usually in private schools of a slight

nt in the history of American verse marked the beginning of a new era, that of the heroic couplet. But though Colman praises Waller and Blackmore and recommends both to his daughter Jane Turell, he himself, when he wrote his Elijah's translation (1707) on the death of the Rev. Samuel Willard, imitated Dryden in his heroic couplets and his method of applying a Bible story as in Absalom and Achitophel. Jane Turell (1708-1735), whose literary tastes were formed by her father, admired the Matchles is at all warranted by his poems, which are few and altogether imitative. His reputation is due in part to the general poverty of the transition period — the barest era in our verse-and in part to his fame as a preacher and a wit. He was born in 1707, was educated at Harvard, and served as pastor of the Hollis Street church in Boston through the greater part of his ministerial life. After the Declaration, he became a staunch and vehement Tory, lost his former popularity, and died embittered a

near the corner of Quincy and Kirkland Streets! In a deed of Nov. 27, 1764, we read of the Warden pear tree (a hard winter pear, called Warden because it would keep a long time) from which the line ran eastward and so around to the forementioned pear tree. The estate was nearly equally divided by the Charlestown road. Foxcroft street was laid out in the southerly part, but its name was changed to Cambridge street, at a later day. The first Francis Foxcroft was Judge of Common Pleas from 1707 to 1719, and Judge of Probate 1708 -1725. Tutor Flint in an obituary discourse said of him that he was a gentleman by birth, was bred a merchant, was expert and skilful as well as just and upright. His natural powers were extraordinary, his acquired knowledge of various kinds was so too. His temper indeed was sudden, but this was his burden and lamentation. He was a person of grave and austere countenance and conversation, mixed with much of the gentleman and the Christian. He died at sev
