Their fathers were both adven-

Gets Four and One-Half
Acres at Riverdale-
on-HudSon.
PLOT ON HIGH LAND
IN FINE LOCATION
Parcel Acquired Is Part Of Four
teen Acres Now Leased by
Institution.

Four and 4 half acres o. high plateau.
overlooking Van Cortlandt Park. have
lust been purchased by Riverdsle Coun-
try School. at Riverdsle-on- Hudson. in
the northwest Bronx. The site is part
OF the fourteen acres now occupied by
the school, all the rest OF which will be
continued under lease. IL lies between
the new Fieldstone Road and the Old
Albany Post Road, between Esd and Esd
street. and includes the present dormi-
tory building Of the school.
The purchase is the first step in plan
which will give this FIRST of the New
York CITY country schools" building
and equipment 10 cost over sS0o0co.
TIE land was bought for the school by
Frank : Hackett. headmsster. The
Newton Land Company through Edward
Is. Gethin. president, nesotiated the sale
The piece. almost the only acreage
available near Van Cortlandt Park. is an
entity. no streets trsvers.ns. IL is so
hish and secluded that it is not likely to
be surrounded by buildings, and VIII
therefore remain FOR many years true
country school The outlook over the
Van Cortlandt Valley also enhances TINS
idea. With the great public playground
AZ Van Cortlandt, in addition TO its own
athletic field, the school has unsurpassed
facilities for sports and Tor country life.
This purchase emphasizes the growth
OF the country school idea, now SO
much discussed. Riverdale was founded
lust seven years ago by its present head
master. At the time there was only one
other school Of this type in the United
States-the Country School for Boys oil
Raltimore-the existence Of which those
responsible for Riverdale knew nothing.
Riverdale grew from a demand by city
parents for a school in the accessible
country where the boys might spend all
day and yet retain home training.
The first boys travelled on the newly
built subway TO the Harlem River and
crossed TO the Yonkers trolley. Broad
way above 2s5th street was then un-
paved. The trip from the neighborhood
of A2d street took over an hour. The sub
way now extends 10 242d street, and the
tyip takes only forty minutes from the
Grand Central
The school also transports by daily
automobile bus service number OF the
bows whose homes are away from the
subway. especially boys who live on the
East Side from Gramercy Park North.
When the school began. in 1907, there
were twelve boys, Of whom four came
from one family. Six altogether were
