In 1879, when this school building,

Larry did this seem appropriate, since
the schools location faced a park
reservation originally set aside in
pEnfant's plan for the residents Of
this part of the city. In anticipation
of the formal dedicatory exercises
Mr.. John Bird, builder OF the Ma
tional Museum and of this school,
had the name lEnfant School" CHS
eled on the blue stone entablature
over the entrance corresponding with
the other stone trimmings especially
designed for the school. From the
residents of the neighborhood there
presently arose protests to this effect:
"The name means infant when spoken
in English. 1t can never be correctly
spoken in French. Our boys tell us
they will be the laughing stock of the
town by school gangs from other
neighborhoods who will laugh at them
and stone them because they are at
tending an infants school"
In vain did the school authorities
plead the services Of the distinguished
Frenchman to the city of Washington.
Finally the present white marble slab
which now meets the eye was placed
over the distasteful nomenclature
previously agreed upon, with the name
Peabody School carved upon its sur
face. And the school was so dedi-
Gated. although this action met with
scant favor from the citizens of
Georgetown, who were rebellious at
