W R IG H T , HE Boston Latin school Is the old est educational Institution In the United 8tates, having enjoyed a con tinuous existence since April. 163ft. From the start. It was a school for higher education, especially Latin and Oreek. It appears to have been the determination of the founders “To beat Satan In each and all of his lairs ;" therefore, “For the common de fense and for the general welfare should the classical languages be taught at the common charge.“ One day during the early days of the revolution, the master (fcs the teachers were called In those days), a loyalist, aishounced, as he dismissed school, “War’s begun and school's done; deponlte llbroa,’’ but the school was soon re-opened, and when the British evacuated Boston In March, 1776, the master went with them as a prisoner. "Tls said that In his day. all that was required for admission was to read a few verses In the Bible. School began at seven o’clock In the morning In summer (eight o’clock In winter) and ended at five In the after noon. with a recess from eleven to one. The present building, completed In 1880. was, at that time, “the largest structure In America devoted to ed ucational purposes, and the largest In the world-used as a free public school.”* It contains 56 school rooms, each ac commodating -35 students. It Is doubtful, Indeed, If any other school boasts of a more honorable ca reer. can show as long a list o f promi nent men ns graduates or more per sistently conformed to the aspirations •»f Its origins tors. one of the best farm land properties All are invited to be present at all in Wasco county. services. - Official Paper for Shonas Oonstp.
