first free school for white children was opened

PUBLIC SCHOOL CENTENNIAL
TO BE CELEBRATED IN THIS CITY NTH SPECIAL EY-
ERCISES TOMORROW
A. EO" Parner History of the Free School Society Which Began
Prode Education Public Expense of Board of Education

Exactly one hundred years ago to-day a full
dozen public spirited citizens of New-York City
gathered at the home Of John Murray. tr.. to
discuss the establishment of free schools in this
city. This house stood on the ground now
cupied by the publishing house OF Harper &
Bros They talked about the need OF a school
FOR instruction of boys and girls whose parents
were so poor that they could not afford to send
them 10 the private schools, or who had no
connection with churches which conducted char
fty schools. These men seemed to be much con-
cerned over the condition of the lower stratum
Of society in the city. The children. they de-
clared. were inheriting those vices which idle
Iess and the bad example of their parents would
naturally produce They decided that .''virtu-
Gus education" was the cure for all those
manifold evils resulting from every species OF
immortality by which public hospitals and aims
houses are filed with objects of disease and
poverty and society burthened with taxes for
their support" They were OF the opinion that
the laboring class in the community is becom-
ing less Industrious less moral and less careful
10 lay UP the fruit of their earnings It
decided TO propagate a 'virtuous education"
This meeting was the source OF. the present great
public school system of New-York City. The
immediate development was the organization
and incorporation of the New-York Free School
Society, Of which De Witt Clinton, afterward
Governor, was the first president.

Why the first main schoolroom should have
