The oldest min.

In 1893 Captain George Cooke with
his brother Joseph. came from, Eng
land with the grant Of farm CT 600
acres OF land on which he at once
erected mill. This was the first
water milf erected in Cambridge and
stood on the Site now marked by the
little Island" in the mill pond at Ar
lington. Old records state that lit was
great enterprise for those days and
controlled the location of highways
leading to Cambridge mill and town"
Captain Cooke returned to England
and persisted in 1862 lin the war with
Ireland. In 1870 the attorney for his
heirs sold the estate to Jcnn Rolfe Of
Nantucket. who at once erected a
new mill" Mr.. William Cutter, a car
penter, married Rebecca a daughter of
John Rolfe, and the mill business sub
sequently passed into his hands. The
Cutter family seemed to have been
thrifty and contented, as in the year
1900 Ephraim Cutter, proprietor, built
an entire new dam and erected new
mills" one of which remained in use
until 1888. In 1850 the mills descended
by inheritance to DR.. BENZ. Cutter of
Woburn, and on his death became the.
property by purchase and inheritance,
of DIR. Cutters son-in-law, Mr.. Samuel
A. Fowle. In 1863 Mr.. Fowle returned
from the war physical wreck, having
suffered the tortures of a confederate
prison in South Carolina for some
time. BY the advise of his brothern-
law, Mr.. Ephraim Cutter, noted hy-
gienist of New York city, he began the
manufacture of an entire wheat -four,
by the exclusive use of which he en-
tirely recovered his broken health in a
compal atively short time. After thus
demonstrating upon himself and by the
use of the new product in his own fam
lily, he at once put the article on the
market under the name of Arlington
Wheat Meal" Mr.. FoWle became
justly entl Isiastic at the wide spread
success this article achieved during the
succeeding years. From time to time
he has made improvements in his ma
chnery and enlarged the capacity of
the old mill which now supplies the
hungry multitudes with thousands of
barrels of Arlington Wheat Meal an

tons. The only attempt at solution is made when
the report says:
eve believe that the study OF American history
should be taught in all the schools OF all the States.
not for the purpose OF humiliating aggrandizing
any section OF furnishing capital to any political
party. but for the purpose OF giving TO youth
clear knowledge of the facts and conditions which
have made our country what IL is
The report also says: Another subject which may
be conducive 10 patriotism. and which must he re-
garded as necessary to prepare the young Amer-
can for the duties OF citizenship is the study OF
civil government, or what is sometimes called
'cvics.' No one can have an intelligent apprecia-
ton of political system without some
knowledge OF the nature and ends OF the State and
the distinguishing marks OF different forms Of
government.
"In addition to the indirect effects which may be
produced by instruction given in the branches Of
study mentioned II is believed that the patriotic
impulse be directly appealed TO by bringing be-
fore the pupil the best specimens of patriotic liter
allure. American literature is rich with the poems
OF patriotism, and with these every boy and girl
should be familiar"
