din. Many are the stories that used to
be told of the pranlls and frolics of
Barrys school days, Notwithstanding his
most rigorous and strict discipline. He
had the reputation of being not only
thoroughly learned in all the branches
which he protested 10 teach, but had
the tact of rapidly and thoroughly teach
ing each pupil to the fun extent of his
mental capacity. Nearly always on his
feet, alternately furnishing, instructing
or encouraging each scholar he was the
terror and admiration of all, and ii was
thought an honor i'm after days TO
have gone to school TO Daniel Barry.
1t was not the good fortune, however,
of the carly settlers to have many such
teachers as Daniel Barry Some were
cruel and inhumane in their punishment,
others lazy and careless, and others yet
drunken and dlssipated

There are two literary societies in the

of duties in these two societies can not
be over estimated.
They give the young men and women
that training, culture and self-posses-

OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
The early history of the Hartford
schools is shrouded in uncertainty, as
10 the history of all institutions of long
standing where no attempt has been
made to keep an official record
The educational record of early days
10 also very obscure. The first school
teacher of which tradition speaks was
James Shanks, the father of Q. =.
Shanks. He seems to have been
well educated man for that day, and
much esteemed as a teacher and Il
strict discplinarian.
TIL first school that was established
In Hartford that we have any knowledge
Of was in the summer of 1892. and was
held in a rough log cabin The town
and county were then sparsely settled
and the scholars few and far between.
The building was built of round logs
and covered with clapboards, and was
about sixteen feet square. one half of
the floor was covered with planks hewed
from logs, the other half was naked
earth. There were no desks and the
equipment was exceedingly simple and
primitive. A rough board was placed
along one side of the building and WIS
holes bored in one of the logs. This
was made for the accommodated Of
such scholars as were far enough ad-

work, and while conservative and eco
nomical, yet believe in giving the school
the best of everything for the advance
ment of the pupils.
President Brown has associated with
him corps of instructors every one
Of whom is deeply interested in the
work, taking a personal interest in the
welfare of each and every pupil under
their charge, hence the high moral and
educational standing of the Hartford
school.
The Board of Education is composed
of the following gentlemen:
Col. c. NJ. Barnett Chairman; DR.. J..

1t was a most successful season.
The baseball season a hardly closed
when the boys, not forgetting the sue
cessful leagues which were always the
main attraction for them the previous
year. such as the Midget Basketball
League of 1909, the checker pool tour
nament, the VolIey Ball League, etc,
again asked to start a basketball
league. L.. Klugman, one of the play
ground employees, who organized all
the above leagues, was again the chief
promoter of the league. inc 1t was the
greatest organized of Its kind.
The league was open to all ~schoolboys
from the age OF 10 to IA years and more
than sixty applied. Klugman, who
knew the ability of each Individual
divided them equally into six teams.
The names given the teams at the sug-
gestion of the playground supervisor
were the Governors, Aldermen, Mayors,
Senators, Freeholders and Assembly
men. After the first round Of games a
winner could not be picked by experts.
The teams were all evenly matched
in strength, size and all-around abil-
10y, but as there could only be one win
ner exciting and close games were the
result. Game after game teams were
losing or winning by one, two or at
the most three baskets.
AT every game large crowds gathered
from all around and cheered the little
fellows. Every team had its rooters
and excitement was always at high
pitch. After n strenuous uphill fight
the F~reeholders were able to win the
pennant, with the Senators second ana
Governors and Aldermen tied for third.
Nearly every team took a chance to
lead the league. until the last three
games, when the champs" forged to
the front and held the lead. The teams
were made up of the following players:
Freeholders, A. Cooper, A. Hammel, M.
