WEDNESDAY,, SEPTEMBER +, 1876.

Our SCHOOLS Ca all our streets We are
now meeting evid noes that the schools are
opening, ADD there is no pleaSapter sight 10 the
old town than the crowds Of brlght-eyed chill
dreu with their books, full of gaduess aud
most unlike, indeed, the whining school boy
creeping uuwillingly to school, Alexan'
dria was, almost from lis origin, city Of
schools. One of the first subjects in which the
town authorities took an interest. after they
had sold the town lots aud provided public
warehouses for the storing of tobacco aud 9th
er commodities, was the education of the chill.
dren. A school house was built in the Market
SQUARE before the old French war, and doubt
less the BOYS early played soldiers 10 imitation
Of the Braddock men, whose headquarters we're
opposite the school house. The school. while
not a public one, was like most OF the old ueigh
borhood schools Of Virginia, supported by sub
scripliou, and the Trustees OF the town seem to
have taken it under their supervision. 10 l76I
tie school bulldog was much dilapidated, aud
the Trustees had it repaired, and appointed
Robert Adam and Thomas Fleming to visit the
school and examine the same tor twelve months
These gentlemen were the germ from whloh
through the old Board of Guardians OF the
Free Schools, the present City School Board
,,as been evolved; while the old frame schoo
house 10 the market was the ancestor OF the
Peabody building and the other school edlteeS
scattered through the town. Soon after the
r, yo,utiou the Alexandria Academy was es
tablished in the three.story hous, still standing
on the lot adjoining the Washington public
school. In this school Gen. Washington PAID
the tuition fees of number Of poor children
and for the continuation of his bounty be at
forwards provided 10 his will, and thus found
ed the Lancasterau school, which has passeo
into the hands Of the School Board, aud hal
been made the head school ofthe present system
uuder the name of the Washington school.
Since that time the educational facilities o.
the town have deepeued and extended witt
each decade.
The Alexandria Boarding school, St. John
Academy, The Mechanics Hall Academy
Brooke Lodge Academy, and The Alexaodrls
Academy were among the earliest schools es
tablished; while our list of teachers is headed
by the venerable Hallowell, and includes Web
ster, Edmouds, P,erpoiot, Brochus, Jones
Brockett, Bott, Sergeant, Heaton, kellenber
GER Dublrson, Grace, Miller. Mclotagert
French, Whittesey, Wilmington, Parkburst
Scott, Peach, Shay, and many other familiar
names, among the male teachers, who are DO
now 10 the prof s,iou. Among our female
teachers of other days may be named Mrs.
Sally Edmonds, Miss Judge, Miss Wsnton
Misses Muir, Mrs. Grisworld, Miss Margaret
Coleman aod score Of others, who did faith
fully the work of their day and generation.
Of teachers now among US it would be
useless to speak. Their pupils speak for them
No other town 10 the Uuion possesses better
schools or ADLER teachers
