According to Bob Randal, Military Historian and Vice President of the Historical Society, in the early days of the Revolutionary War the American militia comprised very untrained, ordinary men from the age of 16 to 60 who were, if not killed by the British, taken prisoners. Because there were so few British soldiers taken prisoner there was little hope of an exchange of prisoners. These 11,500 men were put on a ship hulk in the harbor of New York City. They were there until they died a horrible death of either freezing, of hunger, thirst, or heat. Some years after this brutality in the Revolutionary War there was a funeral procession for their remains. These men were unknown. This artifact is currently on display in the south Vestibule of the Historical Society building. Abstract A summary of the resource.

The Real Problem The real problem, however, does not directly concern the summer resident, It is rather that of making life remunerative and attractive to those who live in the hills the year round. As President Butterfield of the Massachusetts Agricultural College states the case: ‘The rural problem is to maintain upon our land a class of people whose status in society fairly represents American ideals— industrial, political, social, and ethical. In order to accomplish this all departments of life must be maintained at a reasonable standard of efficiency. The business of agriculture must be made to yield a reasonable return to those who follow it intelligently; and life on the farm must be made permanently satisfying to intelligent, pro- ° gressive people.” Thus: the revival of commercial prosperity, the maintenance of efficient schools, the creation of an adequate social life, and the conservation of a strong religious idealism and inspiration are all necessary factors in the regeneration. It is not the purpose of this article to discuss theoretically the methods by which the commercial, social and religious life of the rural districts may be quickened; nor is it for a moment claimed that the last word will be said concerning school improvement and regeneration. I wish, however, to place at the disposal of any who may read, the facts concerning what has been done along progressive lines in certain rural schools of western Massachusetts; if a certain amount of theory is included with the facts, it is only that the facts themselves may the better be interpreted. Before we turn to the facts let us find warrant in another statement of President Butterfield, both for our interest in the school question and for the experiments actually made. ‘The second movement in rural education is definite school instruction in agriculture as a vocational subject. The rural schools should of course train boys and girls for life in general, without regard to whether they are to be residents of the city or of the country. But there must also be facilities in the public schools for the preparation of youth for agriculture as a business. At this point there is a great gap in our educational system.” The statement above does not in the least remove emphasis from the need of general school efficiency, yet a field for improvement thus far seareely attempted is indicated. The Man CENTRE SCHOOL, PERU Where some of the work described has been done. Behind The work which I shall describe is in the main due to the earnest persistence of former Superintendent W. E. Riley of the schools of Hinsdale, Windsor, Savoy, and Peru. During his incumbency a system was given trial in the Church Street School in Hinsdale, a school of four rooms; in the Centre and South District Schools in Peru, and in the Southeast School in Windsor. In addition to these schools, part of the work has been undertaken in. other schools of Windsor and Savoy. The introduction of industrial work in a village school is nothing unusual, though not frequent in towns of the size of Hinsdale. But to undertake instruction in sewing, cooking, carpentering, typewriting and agriculture in a district school with only twelve scholars was indeed an innovation; and to make a success of the work with the first attempt was no small achievement. I first met Superintendent Riley in the Centre School on Peru Hill. He was making his usual visit of inspection, and had no warning that he and his work were to be “examined.” The school building, as shown in an accompanying picture, is of the type so common to district CARPENTRY IN THE SOUTH SCHOOL, PERU �Nan ere les sent erree clapboarded — are large enough forthe table.

The results of this work are dependent largely on the attitude of the home from which the child comes, and on A nine-year old girl in the natural ability of the pupil. Hinsdale bought, prepared, and served alone a five-course dinner for seven people. On the other hand it is certainly true that where the work is discouraged at home, and is THE SOUTH SCHOOL, PERU Showing conclusively that the country has room for more families spoken of slightingly, the child will have little opportunity or desire to repeat the processes and thus fix them in mind. In many cases where the parents speak slightingly of the eains through such work, the failure is due almost wholly During to the home and not to the child or the system. served were luncheon one and dinners two year the school in the Centre School in Peru by the scholars, training being thus given in serving as well as cooking.

The girls at about eight are expected to be helpers in the work, measuring, stirring, turning, and so forth, while the girls from ten to fourteen do the actual cooking, under the supervision of the teacher. It is insisted upon that the teacher shall not do the actual In work, but shall confine her activity to supervision. families where the work is appreciated, the child repeats the task at home in order to fix the process in memory. What is done? At the age of thirteen each girl has helped in the preparation of the following: Three kinds of soup; the common vegetables, both for immediate use on the casserole-boiled roast meat; table and for preserving; fish: Penelope is also done The as it was interested and wondering, Riley mildly suggested that we would satisfactorily if we began with some followed it through.

And altogether aside from the utilitarian consideration, the brightening of homes by decorative work, and the consciousness of being more tastefully dressed, add to the comfort and enjoyment of those who ; accomplish it.

Nor does this _ defeat the purpose of the work, by. compelling the poorer penman to remain in his poorer penmanship without the relief of the typewriter; for all were so anxious to use the machine that, by faithful work, every scholar became Aside from actual proficiency in the use frequent use?) of tools there is a far greater gain in the stimulation of interest, and in the acquisition of originality and accuracy.

Some watch the experiments with interest, and profit by them, as in the case mentioned. Others are contemptuous of the effort td improve the methods of agriculture, and continue to raise scabby potatoes with the stout affirma- tion that nothing better is needed. is it Done? Doubtless many questions have occurred to those who read. Does not this interfere with the regular school work? Can one teacher become competent to teach all these things, and find time to‘do the actual work? How about the extra expense? Let us find the answers to these ques- - tions in the Peru schools.

The teachers in these schools have had no normal train- ing except correspondence and summer work. They have worked up for themselves with the superintendent’s aid And let it here be noted to the the industrial branches. credit of the town of Peru, one-of the most abandoned in the state and with a valuation of less than $150,000 all told,'and only sixty families, that the teachers are better paid than in any of the surrounding towns. INTERIOR, THE NORTH SCHOOL, PERU Only three pupils finished the last term here. It is but fair to say that Peru receives liberal aid from the state, yet the town’s attitude toward the work is no small factor in no the success. And, furthermore, the tax-rate in Peru is higher than in neighboring towns where .the teachers receive much smaller salaries, and where the schools are nowhere nearly as well equipped.

In our present, push button era, we are inclined to view the nineteenth century as one of hardship and quite lacking in the niceties of life which today we consider necessities, but as I search community records and diaries and study account books of the period, I find a friendly, gracious way of life that has been lost in our race for progress. I owe a debt of gratitude to many friends and acquaintances who have given me access to their family records and traditions and assisted me in every way possible with this undertaking and my thanks are hereby expressed.'

Foreword: 'This volume is a continuation of the work in Volume II (see 2007a-001, 2007a-003) and a personal invitation to my readers to journey on with me through the rural sections of Eastern Massachusetts during the 19th century and meet the Old New England Yankees as they worked, played and struggled with their crude, home made implements and iron will to forge this rugged and beloved section of Massachusetts into what it is today. It was my desire to pass on to others the pleasures I found in searching old records, attic paper piles, family traditions or anything pertaining to our past which has made these volumes and 'Steeles Tiny Old New England' possible.
