Gil for New England, an early English corpora
ton. From this he obtained patent of land
signed November 16, 1922, including 5000 acres
and island in New England.
In 1926 he moved to Thompsons island with his
wife, infant and servants, and built his log
house the east shore of the island. Its ruins
were discovered few years ago and the site IS
now marked by a stone inscribed "Site of David
Thompson Cabin. First House in Boston Harbor
1926"
After Thompsons death and the removal Of his
family the possession of the island became a
subject of litigation. 1t had been included in the
Massachusetts bay colony patent of 1927, and in
1884 was granted for the support OF free school
to the inhabitants of the town of Dorchester, by
which it was rented out as a COW pasture.
The island attractive to its first white owner
because of its harbor, has since then been so
beautifed with groves and rows of trees and
orchards that it is probably not excelled in this
respect by any island of equal size along the At
lantic coast.
For three-quarters of century the work of
development and identifying has been going on.
Spruce and other fir trees oaks, eIms chestnut,
linden, acacia and elm trees abound. The orchard
contains apple, pear, cherrys plum and ounce
trees.
More than twenty years ago Mr.. Bradley or
ganized the Cottage Row government. This is a
student municipality, but probably the most real
istic organization of it's kind 1t includes not
Ou1y pOulIcdI government, DuC the ownership or
property and all that that implies.
Cottage Row consists of dozen cottages, of
various sizes, built by the boys, and each regis
tered with the plot of land in registry of deeds.
There is a city hall, where the city council
meets at stated intervals, and where questions of
student control are discussed as well as the af-
fairs of the city property.
The government consists of a Judge, mayor
three share-holdng or property-holding aldermen,
and two non-shareholding aldermen, a treasurer
and an assessor
The mayor appoints a chief of police lieu
tenant, sergeant and four patrolmen, a clerk
librarian, street commissioner and janitor Each
has his specified duties to perform. Thus nearly
onehfth of the boys at the school have a direct
interest in the management Of the municipal gov
eminent.
Since the school has been on Thompson's is.
land there have been but four superintendents
Charles H. Bradley became superintendent in
March, 1883, completing 26 years of service the
present month Under his direction the school
has made wonderful progress and it's reputation
has spread all over the country
