A SKETCH OF THE PAROCHIAL SCHOOL SYSTEM IN HOLLAND SUBSEQUENT TO THE REFORMATION. BY REV. THOMAS DE WITT, I). D. n^HIS volume gives the History of the School of the Reformed -^ Dutch Church in this city, as far as it can be ascertained from surviving documents in various sources. This school was coeval with the first settlement by Hollanders here, and has con- tinued, to the present time, an instrument of much good in training the children, especially of the poorer class, under a direct religious influence. It has proved, under the Divine blessing, a nursery to the Church, gathering many into her com- munion ; and it has introduced a very large proportion as useful members of society. It was the custom, after the Reformation in Holland, to send out with emigrants going to any of its colo- nies, however few in number, a well-qualified schoolmaster, who was a member of the Church, and accredited by his competence and piety to take charge of the instruction of children and youth. During the absence or want of a minister, he was bound to con- duct public worship, by reading a sermon, offering prayers, etc., on the Sabbath and on other occasions. With the earliest agri- cultural settlement of Manhattan Island and its vicinity, such a schoolmaster and voorleeser was sent out, and from the earliest period the School has continued to this day. The importance of the religious element in early education cannot be too highly estimated in reference to the formation of character, and the direction of the future course of life. Under the Old Testament economy, the Divine direction was : " These words shall he in thine heart ; and thou shall teach them diligently unto thy children, and shall talk of thejfi when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down. 2 A SKETCH OF THE PAROCHIAL and when thou rises/ up." In the early Christian Church particu- lar attention was paid to the scriptural and religious instruction of youth, and constant reference is made to the office and exer- cises of catechists and catechumens. The witnesses for the truth in the dark middle ages of the reign of Papal usurpation were remarkable for their faithfulness in the religious instruction and discipline of their children. The excellent and devoted Waldenses were probably indebted, under God, to their peculiar diligence in the discharge of this duty for their remarkable suc- cess in keeping their body together, under the influences and persecutions that pressed upon them ; in transmitting their testi- mony from generation to generation, and in remaining continually a beacon-light amid the prevailing darkness, for the admiration and guidance of the Church in future time. History informs us that they bestowed constant and careful attention on the religious instruction of their children and youth, that they were in the habit of preparing excellent and appropriate catechisms and formularies, and that the pastors made the religious training of their youth a leading and unceasing object of their labors. At the period of the Reformation the different parts of the Protestant Church made this a prominent object of their care and efforts. Formularies of divine truth, and catechisms adapted to different ages, were early introduced. Many of them obtained ecclesiastical sanction and authority, and were directed to be explained in the pulpit and the schools. It would be interesting to trace the history of the introduction and use of catechetical instruction in the churches and schools, from the earliest time of the Reformation, by the Church of England, the Church of Scot- land, the Reformed Churches of France, Switzerland, Germany and Holland, etc. Measures were taken in Scotland at an early period of the Reformation, leading to the institution of parochial schools, widely diffused, under the supervision of the churches, and making religious instruction a pervading and distinguishing element. We can here only make a brief reference to the Church of Holland. Nowhere was the struggle for the principles of the Reformation so severe and (we may say) so crushing. Charles V., who held the crown of Spain, and the patrimonial inheritance of the Netherlands, was elected Emperor of Germany. He found it his policy to treat the Protestant princes, and the professors of the Protestant faith there, with comparative indulgence ; while in the Netherlands, hereditarily devolving upon him, he introduced his Spanish armies and the Inquisition. The page of history is replete with the account of the severity and extent of the religious persecutions by Spanish and Papal power. Thousands upon thousands lost their lives, while many more fled for refuge to other SCHOOL SYSTEM IN HOLLAND. 3 parts. But then the Word of the Lord took deep root. The first religious societies of the Reformed faith called themselves '' De Kerken van Chrislus ondei- het Kruys :" " The Churches of Christ under the Cross." In 1566 the first Synod met at Antwerp, min- utes of which have not been handed down. The noted and cruel Duke of Alva succeeded to the Viceroyalty of the Netherlands in 1567. He boasted that during his seven years' regency eighteen Ihousand had been put to death by him for heresy. The Re- formed held their Synod at Wesel, now in Rhenish Prussia, on the Rhine, in 1568 ; and at Embden, in East Friesland, in 1571 ; not being able to find a place of safety in the Netherlands. They called themselves "Believers tinder the Cross scattered throughout the Netherlands. " At these Synods particular reference was made, and provision secured, for the Christian education of the young. At subsequent Synods, held in Holland, before and after the Union of Utrecht, in 1579, the subject was carefully considered and plans adopted. The principles thus adopted became more fully devel- oped and matured in the action of the well-known Synod of Dort, held in 16 18 and 161 9. In the seventeenth session of that Synod, November 30, 16 18, the subject of the instruction and education of youth, and of catechising, was under discussion. In the result the following resolution was adopted and minute made. The whole is inserted, as worthy of being read and well weighed : In order that the Christian youth may be diligently instructed in the principles of religion, and be trained in piety, three modes of catechising should \^ employed. I. In the house, by parents. II. In the schools, by SCHOOLMASTERS. III. In THE CHURCHES, BY MINISTERS, ELDERS AND CATECHISTS ESI'ECLA.LLY APPOINTED FOR THE PURPOSE. That these may diligently employ their trust, the Christian magistrates shall be requested to promote, by their authority, so sacred and necessary a work ; and all who have the oversight of churches and schools shall be required to pay special attention to this matter. I. The office of parents is diligently to instruct their children and their whole household in the principles of the Christian religion, in a manner adapted to their respective capacities ; earnestly and carefully to admonish them to the cultivation of true piety ; to engage their punctual attendance on family wor- ship, and take them with them to the hearing of the Word of God. They should require their children to give an account of the sermons they hear, especially those on the Catechism ; assign them some chapters of Scripture to read, and certain passages to commit to memory ; and then impress and illus- trate the truths contained in them in a familiar manner, adapted to the tender- ness of youth. Thus they are to ]irepare them for being catechised in the schools, and by attendance on these to encourage them and promote their edification. Parents are to be exhorted to the faithful discharge of this duty, by the public preaching of the Word ; but specially at the ordinary period of family visitation, previous to the administration of the Lord's Supper, and also at other limes by the minister, elders, etc. Parents who profess reli- gion, and are negligent in this work, shall be faithfully admonished by the ministers ; and, if the case requires it, they shall be censured by the Consistory, that they may l)e brought to the discharge of their duty. 4 A SKETCH OF THE PAROCHIAL II. Schools, in which the young shall be properly instructed in the prin- ciples of Christian doctrine, shall be instituted not only in cities, but also in towns and country places where heretofore none have existed. The Christian magistracy shall be requested that well-qualified persons may be employed and enabled to devote themselves to the service ; and especially that the children of the poor may be gratuitously instructed, and not be excluded from the benefit of the schools. In this office none shall be employed but such as are memljers of the Reformed Church, having certificates of an upright faith and pious life, and of being well versed in the truths of the Catechism. They are to sign a document, professing their telief in the Confession of Faith and the Heidelberg Catechism, and promising that they will give catechetical instruction to the youth in the principles of Christian truth according to the same. The school- masters shall instruct their scholars according to their age and capacity, at least two days in the week, not only by causing them to commit to memory, but also by instilling into their minds an acquaintance with the truths of the Catechism. [An elementary small Catechism, the Compendium, and the Heidelberg Cate- chism are those specified to be used by the different grades of children and youth.] The schoolmasters shall take care not only that the scholars commit these catechisms to memory, but that they suitably understand the doctrines contained in them. For this purpose, they shall suitably explain to every one, in a manner adapted to his capacity, and frequently inquire if they understand them. The schoolmasters shall bring eveiy one of the pupils committed to their charge to the hearing of the preached Word, and particularly the preaching on the Catechism, and require from them an account of the same. III. In order that due knowledge may be obtained of the diligence of the schoolmasters, and the improvement of the youth, it shall be the duty of the MINISTERS, WITH AN ELDER, and, if necessary, with a magistrate, to visit all the schools, private as well as public, frequently, in order to excite the teachers to earnest diligence, to encourage and counsel them in the duty of catechising, and to furnish an example by questioning them, addressing them in a friendly and affectionate manner, and exciting them to early piety and diligence. If any of the schoolmasters should be found neglectful or perverse, they shall l>e earnestly admonished by the ministers, and, if necessary, by the Consistoiy, in relation to their office. The ministers, in the discharge of their public duty in the Church, shall preach on the Catechism. These sermons shall be comparatively short, and accommodated, as far as practicable, to the comprehension of chil- dren as well as adults. The labors of those ministers will he praiseworthy who diligently search out country places, and see that catechetical instmction he supplied and faithfully preserved. Experience teaches that the ordinary in- struction of the Church, catechetical and other, is not sufficient for many, to instill that knowledge of the Christian religion which should, among the people of God, l)e well grounded ; and also testifies that the living voice has very great influence ; that familiar and suitable questions and answers, adapted to the apprehension of each individual, is the best mode of catechising, in order to impress the principles of religion upon the heart. It shall be the duty of a minister to go with an elder to all capable of instruction, and collect them in their houses, the Consistory chamber, or some other suitable place (a number particularly of those more advanced in years), and explain familiarly to them the articles of the Christian faith, and catechise them according to the circum- stances of their different capacities, progress and knowledge. They shall question them on the matter of the public sermons on the Catechism. Those who desire to unite with the Church shall, three or four weeks before the ad- ministration of the Lord's Supper, be more carefully and frequently instructed, that they may be better qualified and be more free to give a satisfactory account of their faith. The ministers shall employ diligent care to ascertain those who give any hopeful evidence of serious concern for the salvation of their soul, and ' School system in Holland. 5 invite them to them ; assembhng those together who liave Hke impressions, and encouraging to friendly intercourse and free conversation with each other. These meetings shall commence with appropriate prayer and exhortation. If all this shall be done by the ministers with that cordiality, faithfulness, zeal and discretion that become those who must give an account of the flock committed to their charge, it is not to be doubted that in a short time abundant fruit of their labors shall be found in growth in religious knowledge and holiness of life, to the glory of God and the prosperity of the Church of Christ. In the above we find evidence of alliance between Church and State to some extent, from which we are, happily, wholly free. But it suggests sentiments, and marks a course bearing upon the religious education of children and youth, well deserv- ing the attention and approbation of the Church and Christian community. It is deeply to be regretted that with the extension of common school education through the entire community, under the patronage and by the provision of the State, certain influences have successfully operated to divest them of a Christian character. Some time since, the Romanists raised an organized opposition to our common schools as then conducted, demand- ing the alteration and excision of our school-books, and after- wards proceeded to object to the use of the Bible and the offering of prayer in the schools, until they are deprived of the semblance of religious character. Succeeding in this, they raised the cry that the schools were godless and infidel, and claimed for them- selves their proportionate part of the public moneys to support their own denominational schools, confounding the doctrines and rites of their own Church with religion. While the system of universal education, under the patronage of the State, is to be preserved as of the highest importance, and no denominational claim should be allowed, it is most desirable and important that in the Christian community the Bible should be preserved in our schools, and that God should be acknowledged in them. But beyond this, it is the province of the Church, from her own re- sources and means, to devise the best methods of providing an enlightened, sound, religious education to her children, in a way the most practicable under existing circumstances. The minute extracted from the acts of the Synod of Dort furnishes principles of great value and enduring excellence, which, with some variety in the details caused by a change of circumstances in our position, should be carefully kept in view by the Church, to be faithfully carried into execution. The high importance of selecting or forming schools exerting a religious influence need not be dilated on. Parents should be led with greater fidelity to impart domestic instruction in the great truths of the gospel as embraced in our standards, and should accompany it with salutary guidance and example. Ministers and officers of the Church should pay par- ticular attention to the young, in their early religious training, and 6 THE PAROCHIAL SCHOOL SYSTEM IN HOLLAND. seek to win them to the faith and service of the Redeemer. Is it not to be feared that, in the facilities which modern times afford in the spread of universal education, the institution of Sabbath- schools, and the multiplied and cheap issues from the press, there is yet a decline in the careful attention of the Church, in the use of the various means exhibited in the article quoted from the acts of the Synod of Dort, for the acquisition of sound and well- digested religious knowledge found among the children of the Church in earlier days .'' This volume, giving the history of the school of our Reformed Dutch Church in this city, is not without its interest to the gen- eral reader as a research into the " o/den /I'mes," and connected with the earliest period of our city's history. But it bears pecu- liar interest to the friends of our church, and all who feel the importance of the religious training of the children of the Church, particularly of those who might otherwise be neglected. This history has been prepared by the present Principal of the school, after careful investigation of remaining sources of information. It is to be regretted that so few materials as to some periods have been preserved. In the school there has ever been preserved a course of instruction in the branches of knowledge adapted to prepare for practical life, while sound religious instruction has been carefully imparted. The happy and salutary influence of the school has been experienced through its continued existence, and it is now flourishing under the wise and faithful direction of the present Principal, who has prepared this volume at the request of the Board of Trustees appointed by the Consistory. Thomas De Witt. New York, Sept. 20, 1853. ^m ^ w HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL OF THE COLLEGIATE REFORMED DUTCH CHURCH, IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK. CHAPTER I.* A BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE DISCOVERY AND SETTLEMENT OF NEW AMSTERDAM : I 609 — I 633. SPECIAL preconcerted efforts, authorized by Government or r^ induced by religious persecution, led to the settlement by the English of ten out of the thirteen original colonies, extend- ing on the sea-coast from Maine to Georgia, inclusive. How, then, did Holland obtain a foothold on this continent, and how came the Dutch Government, with its Church and School, to be the first established in the Empire State ? A brief outline of the circumstances which led to the discovery and subsequent colonization of New Amsterdam will not only afford a solution to these questions, but also demonstrate the fact that a public school was established therein as soon as the circumstances of the settlers permitted it. The discovery of America by Columbus, while attempting to reach China and Cathay by a westward passage, did not in the least repress the efforts prompted by the commercial spirit of the age, to accomplish that undertaking. The voyages made for that purpose resulted in the exploration of most of the large rivers and estuaries on the entire eastern sea-board of the conti- nent. The southern route, discovered by Magellan in 1520, affording no advantages over the accustomed route through the Indian Seas, a passage was sought for on the north-west. Fore- most and most persevering in this enterprise was England ; no * The contents of this chapter were culled from the first eight chapters of Brodhead's New York ; and here, as elsewhere throughout the work, his language has at times been appropriated. 8 OUTLINE OF THE DISCOVERY less than thirty voyages, with this design, having been under- taken by British navigators, among whom was Henry Hudson. Failing to achieve the object of his ambition in the two attempts made by him in 1607 and 1608 in behalf of the English "Asso- ciation for the Discovery of the North-west Passage," he offered his services to the East India Company of Holland ; and, on the 6th of April, 1609, departed in the Half Moon, from Texel, with instructions to " explore a passage to China by the north-east or north-west. " Prevented by the ice from proceeding eastward toward Nova Zembla, he touched at the island of Faro, sailed thence to the Banks of Newfoundland, ran down the coasts of Nova Scotia, Maine and Massachusetts, and, failing to find an opening to the west, put to sea again. A fortnight after he made land off the capes of the Chesapeake, whence, sailing northward along the coast of Maryland, he entered Delaware Bay. Pro- ceeding thence cautiously up the eastern coast of New Jersey, he entered the Narrows, and, on the nth of September, anchored in the lower bay. Subsequently, in prosecution of his main design, he passed up the river, which now bears his name, to the vicinity of Albany ; and, having ascertained by soundings that no farther advance could be made, he reluctantly returned to the neighborhood of Hoboken. On the 4th of October he weighed anchor for the last time, and, having re-crossed the ocean, landed, in November, at Dartmouth, in England, whence he com- municated to the Company at Amsterdam an account of his discoveries. "Thus the triumphant flag of Holland was the harbinger of civilization along the banks of the great river of New York. The original purpose of the Half Moon's voyage had failed of accom- plishment ; but why need Hudson repine .' He had not, indeed, discovered the passage to the eastern seas, but he had led the way to the foundation of a mighty State. The attractive region to which accident had conducted the Amsterdam yacht, soon became a colony of the Netherlands, where, for half a century, the sons and daughters of Holland established themselves securely under the ensign of the republic, transplanted the doctrines of a reformed faith, and obeyed the jurisprudence which had governed their ancestors. " * In 1610, the great "River of the Mountains" was visited a second time by a vessel from Holland, in pursuit of beaver and other valuable furs. In 161 1, Christiaensen and Block made a joint voyage to the river for the purposes of trade ; and the reports which they made of the country on their return to Holland led three influential * Brodhead, N. Y., 36. AND SETTLEMENT OF MANHATTAN. 9 merchants of Amsterdam to dispatch with them, in 1612, two vessels for the purpose of continuing the traffic with the natives. During 1613, three other trading-vessels visited the island of Manhattan, returning in 16 14, freighted with large cargoes of valuable furs. The ship under the command of Block having been burned while he was preparing to return to Holland, he was obliged to build a yacht, which caused him to remain at Manhattan during the winter of 1613-14 ; and the few huts erected by him at this time near the southern point of the island were the first European abodes upon it. Forsaking these temporary structures upon the completion of his yacht, he ex- plored the bays and rivers on the coasts of Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Here he found Christiaensen's ship from Manhattan, in charge of Cornells Hendricksen ; and having exchanged vessels with him. Block returned to Holland. In the meanwhile, Fort Nassau was built by Christiaensen, on Castle Island, a little below Albany, as a warehouse and military defense for the traders. Previous to Block's return to Amsterdam, the States-General had passed an Octroy, granting and conceding that "whosoever shall from this time forward discover any new passages, havens, lands or places, shall have the exclusive right of navigating to the same for four voyages." The merchants who had employed Block, encouraged by the results of his voyage, formed an Asso- ciation, and lost no time in taking the steps necessary to secure to themselves the special privileges guaranteed in the general ordinance. Through their deputies at the Hague, they laid before the States-General a map and report of the newly explored countries, which now (1614), for the first time, received the name of New Netherland. Their High Mightinesses having granted their request, they assumed the title of "The United New Netherland Company," and enjoyed for three years, from January, 1615, the exclusive trade "of all lands from the fortieth to the forty-fifth degree of latitude." * In the spring of 1617, Fort Nassau was destroyed by a freshet, and a new fortified post was erected by the traders on the main land, on a commanding eminence called Tawassgunshee, at the mouth of Norman's Kill, immediately south of the present city of Albany. On the expiration of the Company's charter in 1618, the trade of the Manhattans was thrown open, and many vessels, heretofore excluded, resorted thither for traffic. The next important movement affecting the interests of New Netherland, was the establishment by charter, in 162 1, of the • Brodhcad, N. Y., 60, et seq. B2 lO OUTLINE OF THE DISCOVERY Dutch West India Company. The central power of this Asso- ciation was divided, for the more efficient exercise of its functions, among five branches or chambers, located in the different cities of the Netherlands, the managers of which were styled Lords Directors. That of Amsterdam was the principal ; and to it was assigned the management of affairs in New Netherland. The general supervision and government of the Company were lodged in an Assembly or College of nineteen delegates. This Com- pany, with the approbation of the States-General, appointed the Director-General, and all other officers, civil, military, judicial and executive. " The profit and increase of trade " was its main object, although it was expected to promote colonization. Two years elapsed before the company was prepared to go into opera- tion ; the trade of New Netherland, however, was constantly increasing. In 1623, thirty families were dispatched from Holland, and, upon entering Hudson River, eight men were left to take posses- sion of Manhattan Island, and eighteen families were taken to the neighborhood of Albany. The remainder were sent to locate upon the Connecticut and Delaware rivers and the Wallabout. This was the first attempt at colonization. In 1624, Cornelius Jacobsen May was appointed First Di- rector of New Netherland, and, during his administration. Fort Orange, which had been commenced the year previous, was completed. During 1625, forty-five new settlers were added to the popu- lation of New Netherland ; but it was not till 1626 that any per- manence was given to the colony at Manhattan. In this year Peter Minuit commenced his administration as Director-General, and a council of six individuals was appointed for the adminis- tration of affairs. The island, heretofore occupied by mere sufferance, was purchased from the natives for twenty-four dollars. Fort Amsterdam* was commenced near the Battery, and became the head-quarters of the Government ; and religious services, in the absence of a regular clergyman, were commenced by the reading of the Scriptures and the Creed, by the Consolers of the Sick. This may be deemed the commencement of a city now unrivalled in the western world. Compelled by the hostility of the neighboring Indians, the eight families now constituting the colony at Fort Orange, and the settlers on the Delaware, removed to Manhattan ; so that, in 1628, the population of Manhattan amounted to two hundred and seventy. But serious causes operated to prevent the pros- * This fort was between Whitehall and State streets, directly facing the Bowling Green. The " Government House " afterwards occupied this site.

The Indians were unfriendly, difficulties existed between the colony and the settlements in New England and on the Delaware ; and the colonists received but little atten- tion from the West India Company, in consequence of their com- mercial interest being involved in the war then existing between Holland and Spain. By the Charter of Privileges and Exemptions granted to the Patroons, in 1629, colonies were established be- yond Manhattan, and the commerce of New Netherlands was prosperous, the imports, in 1632, amounting to $57,200; but the small community located in the vicinity of Fort Amsterdam, being principally engaged in agricultural pursuits, supported themselves, in the absence of supplies from the fatherland, with great difficulty. Minuit, who was recalled in 1632, had done much for the advancement of trade, to which his attention had been chiefly directed ; but the affairs of the colony were far from possessing any considerable degree of stability. Several families of Man- hattan returned with Minuit to Holland, and for twelve months the colony was left without a Director-General ; when the West India Company, learning that the English, who had for some years laid claim to the country, were making preparations to establish settlements in certain portions of the territory under their jurisdiction, sent over Wouter Van Twiller as Director- General, accompanied by one hundred and four soldiers ; the first military force in the colony. A certain degree of security against the encroachments of the Indians and English was now established ; prompt and energetic measures for the more efficient management of the internal affairs of the colony were adopted, and the individual interests and prosperity of the settlers were provided for ; all of which imparted an impetus which enabled the brave and industrious pioneers at Manhattan to overcome all the difficulties from within, and foes from without, with which for many years they were called to contend ; and it is at this period we shall, in the subsequent chapter, take up the subject of the establishment of the ohiest school now in existence in America. CHAPTER II. HISTORY OF THE .SCHOOL FROM ITS ESTABLISHMENT, 1 633, TO THE CAPITULATION, 1 664 ; EMBRACING A PERIOD OF THIRTY-ONE YEARS. In the " Historical Sketch " we have seen that the Dutch have long been distinguished for their interest in education. " Neither the perils of war, nor the busy pursuit of gain, nor the excitement of political strife, ever caused them to neglect the duty of educating their offspring. Schools were everywhere pro- vided, at the public expense, with good schoolmasters, to instruct the children 0/ all classes in the usual branches of education ; and the Consistories of the churches took zealous care to have their youth thoroughly taught the Catechism and the Articles of Religion." * Their national prosperity must be attributed, in no small degree, to their moral character ; and when, in the course of Providence, they commenced the colonization of New Nether- lands, the settlers, noted for their sterling virtues and adherence to the principles which they had embraced, not only brought with them and established, as far as the circumstances of a new colony rendered it practicable, the civil polity to which they had been accustomed, but had secured to them, by legal enactment, the institution of churches and schools. The West India Company, with whom the work of coloniza- tion commenced, bound itself" to maintain good and fit preachers, schoolmasters and comforters of the sick, "f " They recognized the authority of the Established Church of Holland over their colonial possessions ; and the specific care of the transatlantic churches was early intrusted by the Synod of North Holland to the Classis of Amsterdam. By that body all the colonial clergy were approved and commissioned. For more than a century its ecclesiastical supremacy was affectionately acknowledged ; and long after the capitulation of the province to England, the power of ordination to the ministry, in the American branch of the Reformed Dutch Church, remained in the governing Classis of Holland, or was exercised only by its special permission."! * Brodhead, i. 462. f O'Call. N. N., i. 220. | Brodhead, i. 614. HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL, ETC. 1 3 The establishment of schools, and the appointment of schoolmasters, rested conjointly with the Company and the Classis of Amsterdam ; and it is from this circumstance that much relating to the early history of the school under consideration has been preserved. When the special Charter of " Freedoms and Exemptions" was granted by the Company to the Patroons, for the purpose of agricultural colonization, they were not only obligated to satisfy the Indians for the lands upon which they should settle, but were to make prompt provision for the support of ''a minister and schoolmaster, that thus the service of God and zeal for religion may not grow cool, and be neglected among them ; and that they do, for the first, procure a comforter of the sick there."* Thus religion and learning were encouraged : and we find accordingly, in the early records, frequent references to the judicial support and maintenance of schools at Fort Orange, Flatbush, Fort Casimir, and other settlements. In the contract made with the Rev. Gideon Schaets, when engaged as minister at Rensselaers- wyck, he was required, among other duties, "To use all Christian zeal there to bring up both the heathens and their children in the Christian religion. To teach also the Catechism there, and instruct the people in the Holy Scriptures, and to pay attention to the office o{ schsobtiaster for old and young. And, further, to do everything fitting and becoming a public, honest, and holy teacher, for the advancement of divine service and church exercise among the young and old. And in case he should take any of the heathen children to educate, he was to be indemnified therefor as the Commissioners shall think proper, "f This is not the only instance where public provision was made by our ancestors for the education of all classes, including even the children of the natives. The course most commonly pursued, when a colony was to be established, was to have a schoolmaster accompany the settlers, and, to a certain extent, conduct religious services. After habitations were erected, and the settlement had assumed a warrantable degree of stability, it was provided with a minister. A settlement on the Delaware furnishes a case in point. Settlers were encouraged to proceed to New Amstel by certain conditions, thirty-five in number, the seventh of which was, "The city of Amsterdam shall send thither a proper person for schoolmaster, who shall also read the Holy Scriptures in public, and set the Psalms. " The eighth article stipulated, ' ' The city of Amsterdam shall also provide, as soon as convenient, for the said school- * fjt/^ Charter of " Privileiijes anil Exemptions." OTall. N. N. i. iiq. t O'Call. N. N. ii. 567. 14 HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL master." When the population should amount to two hundred, a minister and Consistory were to be appointed. Accordingly, about one hundred and sixty-seven colonists embarked, accom- panied by ' ' Evert Pietersen, who had been approved, after exami- nation be/ore the Classis, as schoolmaster and Zieken-trooster," "to read God's Word, and lead in singing. " Notwithstanding disasters at sea, the colony was soon organized under auspices favorable to its prosperity. "Under date of Aug. lo, 1657, Evert Pietersen, Comforter of the Sick and Schoolmaster in the Colonie established by the city of Amsterdam, on the South (Delaware) River, in New Netherlands," writes to the Commissioners of the Colonie : " In Fort Amstel, on the South River, N. N. " We arrived here on the 25th of April. I find twenty famihes, mostly Swedes, not more than five or six families belonging to our nation. I already begin to keep school, and have twenty-five children, &c., &c. "Your Honors' most obedient servant, "EVERT PIETERSEN."* " The religious instruction of the colonists was superintended by Pietersen," until the arrival, a few months afterwards, of Dominie Everardus Welius, accompanied by about four hundred new emigrants. A church was immediately organized, and two elders were appointed, with "Pietersen as fore-singer, Zieken- trooster, and Deacon," with a colleague. The colony seemed very prosperous, and was augmented by thirty families from Manhattan, f Creditable in the extreme was this determination ot the Dutch to transplant in the New World those institutions which had long been the pride of their native land ; and, notwithstand- ing the many and formidable difficulties with which these had to contend in those troublous and perilous times, their influence in the community has not yet ceased. Would that the Dutch descendants of the present generation, the recipients of a noble inheritance, and participants of its resultant blessings, were as ardently attached to these institutions, and as zealous as were their forefathers in sustaining and extend- ing them ! 1626. — On the settlement of Manhattan, we find nearly the same course pursued as in the case of New Amstel. When a colonial government was organized, 1626, by Minuit, the first Director-General, we find the place of a clergyman supplied, to a certain extent, by Sebastian Jans Crol, and Jan Huyck, two " Krank-besoeckers," " Zieken-troosters, " or "Comforters of the Sick," whom they were to visit and pray with. It was their espe- * Holland Doc, ii. 17. t Brod. N. Y., i. 631 633. FROM 1633 TO 1664. 15 cial duty to read to the people, on the Sabbath, " some texts out of the Scriptures, together with the Creeds." "Francois Mole- maecker was at the same time employed in building a horse-mill, with a spacious room above to accommodate a large congrega- tion ; and a tower was also to be erected in which the bells brought from Porto Rico were intended to be hung. " * Thus, coeval with the arrival of the first organized body of colonists we have the introduction of public religious services ; the settlers being exclusively from Holland, and of the Reformed religion. Exigency of circumstances, in a new settlement, sometimes demanded that the exercise of the functions pertaining to the offices of the minister, the schoolmaster, and the Krank-besoecker, devolved upon the same individual ; so that we might with pro- priety be justified in claiming the introduction of public education as early as 1626 ; but as the term schoolmaster is not expressly applied to either of the Krank-besoeckers, we will waive the position. It will be observed, however, that this peculiarity of the Reformed Church was introduced into Manhattan previous to any legal enactment of requirement, as it was not until 1629 that the condition was imposed of appointing a " comforter." 1633. — In April (prior to the i2th-|-), 1633, Wouter Van Twiller arrived at Manhattan, as the second Director-General of New Netherlands. In the enumeration of the Company's officials of the same year, Everardus Bogardus is mentioned as officiating as minister at Fort Amsterdam, and Adam Roelantsen as the first schoolmaster. \ Here, then, in accordance with the custom of the age, the usage of the home Government, and by charter stipulations, we have the introduction of the first schoolmaster in Manhattan, establishing, as the sequel will prove, the foundation of an insti- tution which the Church has never lost sight of ; and although it is probable that at times the school was kept somewhat irregu- larly, owing to the unsettled state of affairs arising from Indian depredations, and the hostile attitude and aggressions of the colonists in New England, yet the records furnish direct and indisputable evidence of the efforts made for its support and continuance. * Memoir on the Colonization of New Netherlands, by J. R. Brodhead, Esq.; collected from " Wassenaar's Historiche Verhael " (Amst. 1621-1632).

"Fort Amsterdam, now dilapidated, was repaired. A guard-house and barrack for the newly arrived soldiers were con- structed within the fort ; three windmills were erected ; brick and frame houses were built for the Director and his officers ; small houses were constructed for the corporal, the smith, the cooper and the midwife ; and the ' upper room ' in the mill, in which the people had worshipped since 1626, was replaced by a plain wooden building, the first church edifice 0/ New Netherlands, situate on the East River, in what is now Broad Street, between Pearl and Bridge Streets ;"* and near this *' Oude Kerck," in Whitehall Street, near Bridge, a dwelling-house and stable were erected for the use of the Dominie, f In an extended list of the officers and servants of the Dutch West India Company, in 1638, Rev. Everardus Bogardus is again mentioned as minister at Fort Amsterdam, where Adam Roelantsen was still the schoolmaster.;}; Roelantsen is mentioned also as hav- ing a lawsuit this year with one Jan Jansen ; and also as testif}'ing in another suit, at the request of Rev. E. Bogardus. § The follow- ing year he resigned his charge and left the colony, as in the list of settlers arrived in Rensselaerswyck, in 1639, ^'^ fi"<^ the name of "Adam Roelantsen Van Hamelwaard, previously schoolmaster at New Amsterdam. " II Roelantsen was born about 1606, and was consequently twenty-seven years of age on his arrival at New Amsterdam, where he married a widow. His stay in Rensselaerswyck was less than two years, for in 1 64 1 he is again in New Amsterdam. On the 2 2d of June of that year he had a daughter (Tryntje) baptized. While officiating as schoolmaster he resided in the outskirts of the settlement, adjoining or in close proximity to the farm of Jan Damen, the south side of which bordered along Wall Street. This is inferred from complaints made by Roelantsen that Damen's cattle tres- passed on his premises. February 7, 1642, the following agreement was entered into between Adam Roelantsen, from Dockum (a city in Northern Holland), on one side, and John Teunison, carpenter, on the other, respecting the building of a house for said Roelantsen. This was on the north side of Stone Street (then a mere road and unpaved), between Whitehall and Broad streets, and next door but one to the brewery of the celebrate'd magistrate, Olofif Stevensen Van Cortland. His garden had a frontage of one hundred feet. * Now known as loo Broad Street. Alb. Rec, x. 335. Benson's Hist. Mem., 42. O'Call. N. N., i. 155. f Val. Man. Com. Coun., 1853, 427 et seq. X Alb.

FROM 1633 TO 1664. 17 The following is a translation of the contract : John Teunison agrees to build the same of the following dimensions : In length thirly feet, in width eighteen feet, in height eight feet ; the beams to be hewn at four sides, the house to be well and tight clapboarded, and roofed with substantial reeden thatch ; the floors tight and made of clapboard ; two doors, one entry, a pantry, a bedstead, a staircase to go to the garret ; the upper part of the chimneys to be of wood ; one mantelpiece ; the entry to be three feet wide, with a partition. The house to be ready by ist of May next. All for the sum of three hundred and fifty guilders ($140), to be paid by Roe- lantsen, one half when the timber is on the ground and the other half when the building is finished.* In 1643 he was " weighmaster, " and purchased a lot for a house and garden. f February 3, 1644, he had a son (Daniel) bap- tized. After the death of his wife, who left four small children, he went to Holland, July, 1646, returned in November, and in December sold his house to Govert Aertsen.J In 1647 he was appointed Provost, and in 1653 ^^''^^ "^ member of the Burgher Corps of New Amsterdam. § Subsequent to the latter date neither his name nor that of his descendants is ft)und in the Records. A successor to Roelantsen was found in Jan Stevensen, schoobnaster , to whom the West India Company granted the patent of a lot north of Fort Amsterdam, for a house and garden. || March 9, 1646, shortly after the death of Mrs. Roelantsen, who left four young children, "on application of the Fiscal, Philip Geraedy, Hans Kierstede, Jan Stevensen, schoolmaster, and Oloff ■ Stevensen (van Cortland) were appointed curators of the estate and children of Lyntje Martens, late wife of Adam Roelantsen.^ In 1642, the church on Broad Street having become some- what dilapidated and reproachful in appearance, an effort was made to procure a new one. and at the same time was com- menced the laudable undertaking of building a school-house with suitable accommodations. The Vertoogh, after mentioning the efforts made to raise subscriptions for building a new church, * Val. Man., 1863, p. 560. t Reg. Deeds, N. A., 134. X Val. Man., 1863, p. 560. § O'Call. N. N., ii. 569. Alb. Rec, viii. II Cal. Dutch MSS., p. 367. In a map exhibiting the original grants of village lots from the Dutch West India Company to the inhabitants of New Amsterdam, below the present line of Wall Street (Val. Man., 1857), this lot is located at the north-west corner of the " Heere Straat," now Broadway and Morris Street. The dimensions were ten rods and nine feet on Broadway, and extended twelve rods and eight feet towards the river. Immediately adjoining on the north was the Old Church Yard, the first in the city. To the west of these was a parcel of land belonging to Dominie S. Drisius. Upon the land on the map alxjve mentioned is inscrilx;d "Jan Stevensen, schoolmaster, 1643." Andries Hudde, a private schoolmaster quite noted in his day, purchased a lot the same year on the east side of Broadway, about 150 feet south of Exchange Place. His name and date only appear on the map, and not the distinctive term "schoolmaster," which in this and in several other instances was used only when the official schoolmaster was referred to. '' Cal. Dutch MSS., p. 99. C 10 HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL adds : " 'The bowl has been going round a long time, for the purpose of collecting money for erecting a school-house ; and it has been built with words ; for, as yet, the first stone is not laid ; some materials only are provided. The money, nevertheless, given for the purpose, has all found its way out, and is mostly spent. ' The church, however, was commenced in the Fort, by John and Richard Ogden. It was to be built of stone, seventy-two feet long, fifty-two broad, and sixteen over the ground. Joachim Pietersen Kuyter was elected deacon, and with Jan Dam, Captain De Vries, and Director Kieft, formed \k\Q first Consistory to super- intend its erection."* "But in 1646 the church was still unfin- ished, as the Director-General, being distressed for money, had applied to his own use the funds appropriated ; and, from the same cause, the laudable undertaking of erecting a school-house had failed." f But New Amsterdam had, indeed, been experiencing trou- blous times. " Even the poor-fund of the deaconry was seques- tered, and applied to the purposes of war." Parties of Indians roved about, day and night, over Manhattan Island, killing the Dutch not a thousand paces from Fort Amsterdam ; and no one dared "to move a foot to fetch a stick of fire-wood without a strong escort. " " The mechanics who plied their trades were ranged under the walls of the fort ; all others were exposed to the incursions of the savages." For the protection of the few cattle which remained to the decimated population, " a good solid fence " was ordered to be erected nearly on the site of the present Wall Street. The authorities write: "Our fields lie fallow and waste ; our dwellings and other buildings are burnt. We are burthened with heavy families ; we have no means to provide necessaries for wives or children ; and we sit here amidst thousands of Indians and barbarians, from whom we find neither peace nor mercy." "At Manhattan, and in its neigh- borhood, scarcely one hundred men, besides traders, could be found." Such being the state of affairs, it is not surprising that the church was unfinished, and the school-house not commenced ; for the money which the impoverished commonalty had con- tributed to build the school-house had "all found its way out, and was expended for the troops." | Yet, notwithstanding these difficulties, the subject was not forgotten. 1647. — I^ the following year, 1647, a new feature was intro- duced in the government of New Amsterdam by the appointment of Nine Men. The introduction of this description of tribunal furnishes an additional proof that Holland was the source whence * Van Der Donck's Vertoogh. ii. N. Y. H. S. Coll., vii. 294.

FROM 1633 TO 1664. 19 New Netherland derived its municipal institutions, and shows how strongly its settlers were attached to those freedoms with which they were so familiar in their fatherland. The Director and Council, desirous "that the government of New Amsterdam might continue and increase in good order, justice, police, population, prosperity, and mutual harmony, and be provided with strong fortifications, a church, a school, Ac," permitted the inhabitants to nominate eighteen of the most notable, reasonable, honest and respectable citizens, from whom the Director and Council selected nine, "as is customary in Fatherland." * These Nine Men were the Representatives of the people. They were consulted in all matters of importance, were invested with limited judiciary powers, and those who appealed from their decision subjected themselves to a fine. On the organization of this body, Director Stuyvesant, who this year superseded Kieft, called their special attention, November 11, 1647, among other things, " to the condition of the fort and of the church, and to the state of public education ;" informing them that, " owing to the want of proper accommodations, no school had been held for three months." Subsequently, November 14, "he consented to defray, on behalf of the Company, a portion of the e.xpenses necessary for the encouragement of education, and to continue such assistance in future, to 'promote the glorious work.'" " Meanwhile, he informed them that a convenient place for a school-house and dwelling for the schoolmaster would be pro- vided for the winter, either in one of the outhouses of the Fiscaal's department, or any other suitable place that the Deacons of the church might approve." "The arrangements for completing the church, and for fostering the school, met with no objection." A plan, however, which he had proposed for repairing the fort was condemned by them, f It will be observed that when a school is spoken of under the Dutch administration, special reference is invariably made to the official public school, supported by the authorities, and in connection with the . Established Church, the schoolmasters whereof were appointed by the West India Company. From the first organization of the school till the year 1808, when a special Board of Trustees was appointed, the supervision and manage- ment of the school were in the hands of the deacons ; hence the reference made to them above. No private school teachers, as will hereafter be shown, could follow their calling without a license from the civil and ecclesi- astical authorities. The Records furnish the names of some such in the city at • O'Call. N. N., ii. 37." t O'Call. N. N., ii. 41, 42. 20 HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL this period,* but the provision made above is for a school-house and dwelling for the schoolmaster, under the direction of the deacons ; and, furthermore, the statement that, for want "of proper accommodations, no school had been held for three months," must have reference to the public school in connection with the church, of which Jan Stevensen was then master, and for whom the dwelling (above alluded to) was intended. July 20, 1647, ^ Power of Attorney was given by Jan Ste- vensen, schoohnaster , to Luycas Smith, to receive certain moneys from the West India Company at Amsterdam. f August 13, 1648, a similar Power was given by Jan Willem- sen Schut to Jan Stevensen, schoolmaster, to receive money due him by the W. I. Co. at Amsterdam. | He was then on the eve of his departure for Holland, and as the schoolmaster always " read the Holy Scriptures in public and set the Psalms," tempo- rary provision was made for filling the latter office, as follows : 26 October, Ac. 1648. — Ter vergaderinge is hooghnoodigh geacht in plaels van Jan Stevensen voorsanger (fore -singer) een ander bequaem persoon te stellen. Soo ist dat voor deesen jegenwoordigen tijt opt Eijlant Manhatans geen bequaemer persoon als Pieter van der Linden hebben connen tot het selve voorleesers (fore-reader) ampt uijt vinden, hebben oversulx denselven Pieter van der Linden als voorleeser aengenonien, ende daer voor jaerlijex toegeleijt y. 150, jaerly en dat ter tijt een ander bequaem persoon uyt Holland mocht gesonden worden.§ TRANSLATION. 26 October, 1648. — At the meeting it was considered highly expedient, instead of Jan Stevensen, fore-singer, to appoint another able person. So it is, that at this present time, no better person could be found upon the Island of Manhatans than Pieter van der Linden to fulfil the post as fore-reader, and have, in consequence thereof, appointed said Pieter van der Linden, with an annual income of y".i50 (guilders), until another suitable person might be sent from Holland. || August 13, 1649. — "Jan Stevensen, late Schoolmaster at New Amsterdam, sold a house and garden north of the fort. "^ The successor of Jan Stevensen was Jan Cornelissen. 1649. — In the year 1649 serious difficulties arose between the Nine Men, on one part, and the Director-General and his Coun- cil, in consequence of which a delegation from the Nine Men, at the head of which was Adriaen van der Donck, the President of that body, proceeded to the Hague (October), and laid before * N.

In 1647 he sold his plantation on Manhattan Island, 't Oude Vraack Kill, and extending along the East River 300 paces. — Records of Collegiate R. D. Church, pp. 7, 11, 41, 365. IT Cal.

Speaking of the Church, they say : "As for its revenue, we know of none. No pains were taken by the Director to create any. There has been a good deal said about the building of a school-house, but, as yet, the first stone is not laid. The funds collected for this object have been mis- applied. No provision has been made for the poor, who had to depend entirely on the congregation and a few fines and offerings. But the greater part of the sacred fund had found its way into the Company's hands, on interest, it was pretended, but, as yet, neither principal nor interest was forthcoming. Furthermore, they desire that the school be provided with at least two good schoolmasters, so that the youth may be instructed and trained, not only in reading and writing, but also in the knowledge and fear of the Lord. " * Cornelius Van Tienhoven, the Schout or Sheriff of New Amsterdam, proceeded to the Hague and presented a reply to the Vertoogh, November, 1650, and in answer to the above says : "It is true the new school-house has not been built; but this was not the fault of the Director, who is busy collecting mate- rials, but of the churchwardens (or deacons) who had charge of the funds, provided in part by the commonalty and in part by subscriptions." In the mt?iXiVi\\\\t, Jan Come lissen had kept Ihe school, a place for which had been provided ; and then immedi- ately adds : ''Other teachers f keep school in hired houses, so that the youth are furnished with the means of education," al- though there is, as yet, no Latin School or Academy. "If," he adds, " the remonstrants be such friends to religion and educa- tion as they pretend, let them be leaders in a subscription to such laudable undertakings, and not complain as they did when asked to contribute for the church and school-house. " | The same year, Dominie Backerus, who had succeeded Bogardus in 1647, by the permission of the Classis, took leave of the Church at Manhattan, with the intention of returning to Holland. Jan Cornelissen, the third master mentioned in con- nection with the public school under the care of the Church, having signified his intention to resign his situation, Stuyvesant embraced the opportunity of the Dominie's return to write ear- nestly to the Classis of Amsterdam "for a pious, well qualified, and diligent schoolmaster." "Nothing," he adds, "is of greater importance than the right, early instruction of youth." § * Hoi. Doc, iv. O'Call. N. N., ii. 114, 120. \Vide N. Am.

The Church being vacant, he was solicited by Stuyvesant to remain, as chil- dren were every Sunday presented for baptism, "sometimes one, sometimes two, yea, sometimes three and four together." The Dominie being prevailed on to stay, was formally installed.* 1650. — Jacob Pergens and S. Ryckaerts, Directors ' of the West India Company, in reply to Stuyvesant's letter, state : "We will make use of the first opportunity to supply you with a well- instructed schoolmaster, and shall inform ourselves about the person living at Harlem, whom your Honor recommended.'' f The Committee of the States-General, to whom the remon- strance above spoken of was referred, accorded, in 1650, a Pro- visional Order for the Government of New Netherland, in which they direct that three new ministers shall be called and supported — one for Rensselaerswyck, one for distant parts of the country, and one in and around New Amsterdam — and the youth were to be instructed by good schoolmasters. We accordingly find that the Rev. Samuel Drisius was sent out to assist "that worthy old servant, the Rev. Megapolensis. " J In the same year, February 16, Pergens and Ryckaerts again write to the Director-General, and say: "We appoint, at your request, a schoolmaster, who shall also act as Comforter of the Sick. He is considered an honest and pious man, and shall embark the first opportunity. "§ In a subsequent letter, April 15, they write: "The school- master that had been sent for came over with the wife of Rev, Megapolensis," II on her return from Holland to Manhattan, where her husband had been induced to remain. The Classis of Amsterdam, anxious to promote the cause of education and religion in New Netherland, now (January 10) sent out William Verstius, "a good, God-fearing man," as " Ziekentrooster," or Consoler of the Sick, and Schoolmaster at Manhattan. \ In 1654 he petitioned the Classis of Amsterdam for an increase of salary.** 1655. — January 26, "William Verstius, Schoolmaster and Chorister in this city, solicited the Council by a petition, as he had completed his service ; and whereas there were now several persons fully competent to acquit themselves in this charge, that he might be favored with his dismission, and permitted to return to Holland in the first ship."

These were licensed by the Council ; and in consequence of the connection lietween the Church and Government, its sanction was necessary. On the application of Andries Hudde for a license to keep school, the Director and Council informed him that they would first ask the opinion of the Ministers and the Consistory. One Jacob Van Corler having arrogated to himself to keep school, is directed to apply for a license, which he did repeatedly, and finally received as answer, '■'■ Nihil actumy Pennission was granted by the Council for Jan Lubherts to teach reading, writing and arithmetic, "provided he conducted himself as such a person ought to do." and so of others.

A few weeks subsequently, they wrote to the Director and Coun- cil : "John Montagne is appointed schoolmaster, with a salary of 250 guilders."* Under the head of "Churches and Clergymen," which sufficiently identifies the school with the Church, we find the following : " On the petition of John Morice De La Montagne, the Director-General and Council command the Comptroller to pay the supplicant three or four months of his wages, "f * Alb.

Rec, x. N. Am. Rec. The following reminiscences, illustrative of things as they were, are deemed worthy of insertion. The quaint and elliptical language in which the latter is given, is characteristic of the author. Judge Benson. In his memoir, read before the New York Historical Society in 1816, speaking of John De La Montagne, ordinarily pronounced, Jan Montagne, sexton of the old Dutch church in Garden Street, he says : "I saw him at the house of my parents ; I in my earliest youth, he approaching to fourscore. He was on his way to collect the Dominie's gelt ; for the Dutch always took care the stipend to the minister should be competent, that so he never might be straitened ' to desire a gift. ' He told me his father and grandfather before him (the names of all these individuals may be found in the old Directories), the latter probably the same as mentioned in the records, ' Jan De La Montagne, Schoolmaster, with 250 guilders salary,' had been the sexton of the congregation ; so that, as I have it from the relation of others, the successive incumbents, having been as well of the same Christian as surname, the name had, as it were, become the name of the office, like Den Keyser, the Csesar, the Emperor ; and, accordingly, when the English, having built a church, had also a sexton, the Dutch children, and not impossible some adults, called him, ' De Engelishe Jan Montagne.' He told me his grandfather was the sexton when the church was within the fort. On his (the third Jan's) death, the Consistory appointed his son Jan, who remained sexton till the dispersion of the congregation on the invasion of the city, 1776." The Judge records also the following : " There was a day always kept here by the Dutch, and the keeping of it delegated by the mothers to their daughters, still at school. Vrouwen Dagh, Woman's Day ; the same with the ^'alentine's Day of the English, and although differently, still, perhaps, not less salutarily kept. Every mother's daughter, furnished with a piece of cord, the size neither too large nor too small ; the twist neither loo hard nor too loose ; a turn round the hand, and then a sufficient length left to serve as a lash ; not fair to have a knot at the end of it, but fair to practice for a few days to acquire the sleight ; the law held otherwise, duelling. On the morning of the day, the youngster never venturing to turn a comer without first listening whether FROM 1633 TO 1664. 25 The fact that this second school was commenced and carried on for a brief period is clearly established ; but the absence of any subsequent reference to it, leads to the strong inference that its existence was of short duration. The principal school, how- ever, was uninterruptedly conducted by Verstius, from 1650 to 1655. In 1653, New Amsterdam was incorporated with municipal privileges ; and a court of justice, similar to that of Amsterdam in Holland, consisting of a schout, burgomasters and schepens was instituted. Director Stuyvesant relinquished to the burgo- masters the excise license* on condition that they paid out of it the salaries of the Ecclesiastique, to wit : one of the ministers (Megapolensis or Drisius), one precentor, beadle, or schoolmaster, and one dog-whipper, now called sexton ; and of the Polity, to wit : the Schout, both the Burgomasters, the five Schepens, the Secretary, and the Court Messenger, f 1654. — The following year, 1654, the Director and Council re-claimed the excise, "inasmuch as the burgomasters had failed to pay the clergyman and schoolmaster or beadle. "J This presents another valid proof of the connection existing between the school and the Church. "The schoolmaster was always, ex-officio, clerk or beadle, chorister, and visitor of the sick."§ 1655-56. — We have recorded the supersedure of Verstius in 1655, by Harmanus Van Hoboocken. The following spring, 1656, the first survey of the city was made, and it was ascertained to possess 120 houses and 1,000 souls; and "the number of children at the public school having greatly increased, further accommodation was allowed to Van Hoboocken, the school- no warblers were behind it, no golden apples to divert him from the direct course in this race. Schoolboy Hippomenes espied, pursued by Charmer Atalanta ; he, encumbered witli his satchel, still striving to outrun, and, to add to his speed, bending forward, thereby giving the requisite roundness to the space l>etween the shoulders ; she, too swift afoot for him, and overtaking liim, and three or four strokes briskly and smartly laid on ; he, to avoid a further repetition, stoppini^ and turning ; she, looking him steadfast in the eye, and perceiving it required all the man in liim to keep back the tear ; not all the fruit in all the orchards of the Hesperides, and in their best l)earing year, to compensate for the exultation of the little heart for the moment. " The boys requested the next day should be theirs, and be called Mannen Dagh, Mutt's Day ; but my masters were told, the law would thereby defeat its own very purpose, which was, that they should, at an age and in a way most likely never to forget it, receive the lesson of manliness, he is nezy the Rev. Consistory. The design is the instruction of the youth and the arousing of the adults to this matter in order to the further propagation of Christ's Kingdom among us, for God's honor and our salvation. This, then, being the only object sought, it is our friendly request that you may so take to heart its importance that one may serve as an example to another and the prompt stir up the slothful. And we with our children will, as members of the true Christian Church, steadfastly serve God and his Son, Jesus Christ, in faith and love. So that our congregation shall not diminish, but daily increase more and more, like God's people, over the whole earth. So that even Babylon may fall and the fullness of the Gentiles come in and all Israel be saved, and we altogether receive hereafter the end of our faith in eternal glory. Amen.

Consistory on the matter, and delay receiving the children at the cost of the Church until you have received the approval of the Rev. Consistory. In teaching the children of the poor, it is agreed you shall draw salary from the Reverend Consistory according to the instruction they receive — so nnich for one who learns only to read, and so for one who learns only to write, and so for one who, Ijesides, learns ciphering. And in case any child of the poor shall learn writing or ciphering, that must be with the approval of one of the Ministers. Firewood for the school is already provided according to your own proposal — four cords for the whole winter. In case any children remain away from school, you will inquire after the reasons thereof, whether it was with the knowledge of the parents or not and on good grounds, so that the parents may take order thereon ; and if any of the children of the poor are often absent, and their parents do not apply a remedy, you shall give notice to the Reverend Consistory. V'ou will furnish a list of the parents whose children are taught at the ex- pense of the Consistory ; and every quarter you will specify their names in the reckoning, and what each one learns, whether to read or also to write and cipher, in order that it may properly appear to the Rev. Consistory, or to the Deacons, for payment. And it is furtiier earnestly recommended to you to be precise in foHowing these directions.

After much consideration it was Resolved — That the Consistory cannot be answerable for any sum, and still have it in consideration whether to restore Mr. De Foreest to his office or not, even if he is released. Also — That Mr. Isaac Stoutenburgh, now acting as his helper, shall be asked to continue as such ; if so, he shall be paid at the same rate as Mr. De Foreest, and that from the time when he began, which was December jd, he- cause the Consistory finds it necessary to abide by the resolution to hold the offices of Clerk and Schoolmaster together for one competent person. This proposal being made to Mr. Stoutenburgh in the meet- ing, was accepted by him.* From this it would appear that Mr. Stoutenburgh, not being qualified to teach, acted as Clerk or Chorister from December 3, 1732, until a person was found capable of performing the duties of both offices ; and it is to be inferred that there was an inler- regnum in the school from the above date until June i, 1733.

On the 2ist day of March, 1733, the following letter was ad- dressed in the name of the Consistory to Gerrit Van Wagenen, and henceforth the records furnish a full and uninterrupted chain of interesting facts respecting the size and progress of the school, with a complete list of the Schoolmasters up to the present day : Since the Old Church of the Low Dutch Reformed Congregation at New- York • at present lacks a Foresinger, with a Schoolmaster and Visitor of the Sick, and it is necessary that these ot^ces should be undertaken as soon as possible by a suitable person ; the Rev. Consistory, in consequence of the general testimony to your fitness, turned tlieir attention to you, so that on the 20th of March, 1732-3, they unanimously resolved to appoint you to those offices. Therefore, the Consistory of the Low Dutch Reformed Congregation in the city of New York hereby fully appoint you, Mr. Gerrit Van Wagenen (at present Foresinger in the Low Dutch Reformed Congregation at Kingstown) [Kingston], to the aforesaid offices. And, if you are inclined to accept the same here, we name and commission you as Clerk and Foresinger for the Low Dutch Reformed Congregation of New York, in their so-called Old Church (even as Mr. Van. Arnheim renders the service in the New Church) ; and also to be the Visitor of the Sick for the whole congregation, and to keep school in the Low Dutch language, and finally to keep the books of the Elders, Deacons .and Church Masters. That is, to express our intention still further — 1st. To exercise the function of Clerk and Foresinger on all occasions of public worship, both in preaching and in catechising, which now is done on Wednesday mornings. 2d. Especially do the Consistoi^ expect you to be active and diligent in keeping the school, since nothing is more necessary for those who belong to our congregation; and, in that case, there is no doubt that several others will send their children to you to be taught reading, writing, ciphering, and also the principles of the true Reformed religion, and the Rev. Consistory will secure you, from time to time, at least twelve children from the poor, with pay- ment thereof (presently to be stated), that you may teach them, as all other children in your school, according to their capacity, to read, write and cipher, the usual prayers and the Heidelberg Catechism ; and, further, in your school keeping, and the use of books therein, you are to act in all respects as the Consistory shall judge to be most useful, with such additions or alterations as experience shall show to be best. 3d. As each one of the Schoolmasters has had the duty of Visitor of the Sick, so you are to make no piteous -scruples concerning the service (however weighty in itself), but render as the Ministers shall orally direct you. 4th. To keep the books of Consistory legibly. To encourage you in undertaking these offices, the Rev. Consistory promise you, for performing the said services, as before written. First. —As Foresinger and Visitor of the Sick, yearly and every year, to be paid quarterly ;^I 5 o Second. — For the Schoolleaching of twelve of the chil- dren of the poor, to be paid quarterly 10 6 Third. — For Keeping the Books of Consistory 9 o Fourth. Four Cords of Wood, yearly, more or less. Fifth. To Record the Baptisms in the Old Church. * Con. Min., Lib. A. 493. 44 HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL Your salary as Foresinger shall commence from the time that it shall cease at Kingstown [Kingston, N. Y.], and as Schoolmaster from the time school here begins. As to the keeping of the books, if you have no inclination for this, the Reverend Consistory must look out for some one else ; meanwhile If you carry on your school industriously the Consistory doubts not the citizens here will send you such a number of children, that, altogether, your salary will furnish an adequate support for your family. Thus the Consistory, heartily desiring that you will readily accept this commission for the aforesaid offices on the conditions expressed, will receive you with sincere affection and show you their favor. Wherefore they expect and desire, by the first opportunity, a speedy answer that you undertake these services in the fear of the Lord, and your arrival in New York to enter upon them. With prayer for God's gracious blessing therein upon your person and family. Thus done in our Consistory, 2ist of March, 1733. GUALTERUS DU BOIS. p. t. Praes. N.

The terms* of the contract made with Mr. Van Wagenen with regard to the school hours and holidays, the catechising of the children and their presence in church on stated occasions, quarterly examinations, &c., were substantially the same as those made with Barent De Foreest, except that the Consistory guar- anteed the tuition of twelve or more scholars, none of whom were to be under seven years of age. The contract concludes thus : You shall also minutely record all the children who are brought to the Old Church for baptism, and conduct therein according to the direction of the Reverend Consistory as the Minister shall announce to you ; for each child that you record, you shall receive at least a half-quarter, and so much more as the parties may present to you. Your salary, as Foresinger, is to commence from the 15th of May, last, and, as Schoolmaster, from the ist of June. The original hereof is given to you, and you are also to sign this.

FROM 1664 TO 1776. 45 Publication made from the pulpit in both Churches of the Low Dutch Reformed Christian Congregations here in New York, Sunday Forenoon, June 10, 1733 : * Beloved in the Lord : The Reverend Consistory, taking to heart the extreme necessity, usefulness and benefit under the Lord's blessing, for this congregation in general, that there should be a Foresinger in the Old Church, and a Visitor of the Sick, and for the youth in particular, that there should be a good Low Dutch Orthodox Schoolmaster maintained among us, has, in testimony of Mr. Gerrit Van Wagenen's good qualifications, called him to these offices and he has accepted the same. Therefore, Notice is hereby given to the Christian Congregation that Mr. Gerrit Van Wagenen is appointed Visitor of the Sick in our congregation, and Foresinger in the Old Church, just as Mr. Jan Van Arnheim is Foresinger in the New Church, and is to record who are baptized there. The Christian Congregation will please conduct themselves accordingly. Further, Notice is given that Mr. Van Wagenen will be Schoolmaster in the Low Dutch, under the inspection and orders of the Consistory, so as best to advance the youth in the Low Dutch language, in the arts of reading, writing and ciphering, and also in the elements of the Low Dutch Reformed religion. He will therefore appear with the school-children at the public catechising in the church, that they may recite the Questions according to their ability, and he may show his diligent performance of all his duties. The Consistory will also, from time to time, take care that your reasonable expectations as to the good instruction of your children in reading, writing and ciphering, and also in the prayers, the Catechism and catechising in the Low Dutch, are fulfilled. And as there are in our Congregation persons unable to pay the school money, these shall give notice of their children, of seven years or over, to Mr. Van Wagenen, who will inform the Consistory ; and they, having given their consent, will pay the school money required. Therefore, the Consistory hopes that all this may prove a desired success for our Church, and that the Christian Congregation will be pleased to support the same for the general good, for themselves and their children, by assiduously, and in good number, sending scholars to Mr. Van Wagenen's School of Orthodoxy. We justly expect this the more, because, for a long time, we have heard the wish and desire of many for a good Low Dutch School among us, accord- ing to the language and religion of our Church ; as, also, because it is so absolutely necessary, useful and salutary for the Christian rearing, teaching and training of our youth, in order to gain them, from the earliest period, to the language of our Church, and to a love for the "Low Dutch Reformed worship, that the prosperity of our Church may be furthered, with heartfelt prayer to God for his blessing. Thus done in our Session. In the name and authority of the Reverend Consistory, IIENRICUS BOEL. p. t. Praeses, The Deacons' Book records the amount paid from year to year to Mr. Gerrit Van Wagenen for his services. Upon his decease, in the forepart of 1743, his son, Huybert Van Wagenen, was appointed to fill the vacancy. * Con. Min., Lib. A. 501. 46 HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL The increasing population had not only rendered necessary the erection, "farther up-town," of a second house of worship, but a second school was to be provided for, as the deacons, in their capacity as trustees, informed Consistory "That, for the encouragement of another Dutch school, they had, during this month [November 21, 1743], directed Mr. Abraham De Lanoy to present the names often (10) children of poor parents (who lived at too great a distance, particularly in winter, to come to the school of Mr. Huybert Van Wagenen) to the deacons, in writing, that, after investigation of their cases, they may be ap- proved. Mr. De Lanoy, for instructing them according to the rates prescribed by Consistory, shall receive, in quarterly pay- ments, the same amount of money and firewood which Mr. Van Wagenen received for the same number. Mr. Van Wagenen shall attend to the catechetical instruction of the children in the Old Church [Garden Street], and Mr. De Lanoy in the New Church [the Middle]." The Consistory hereon declared that they appreciated the excellent aim of the Deacons and approved it, and desired the Deacons to take the matter to heart and act further therein with the Consistory. HENRICUS BOEL. p. t. Praeses. Accommodations having been secured, the school of Mr, De Lanoy went into operation.* While it existed there was a school to each church ; and had the plan been strictly carried out of establishing a school by the side of each Dutch Church subsequently erected, is it not reasonable to suppose that it would have proved a source of rejoicing to our denomination at the present day ? May she not awake to a sense of her duty in this respect when it is too late .' In 1746, Covi'&x'&'ioxy 7- e solved, "That there should be appro- priated to Mr. Huybert Van Wagenen, in additmi to the sum * Mr. Abraham Brewer (born 1753, died 1832) states that, when a lad, " he went to the Dutch school, to his grandfather, Abraham Delanoye (a French Huguenot, via Holland), whose school was in Cortla^idt street " (Wat. An., 172). This being in the vicinity of the Middle Church, was, in all probability, the school organized by the deacons in November, 1743, as above stated. The late Judge Benson, in his early youth, "attended school at the comer of Marketfidd and Broad streets, where he learned the Dutch Catechism. They used in the Dutch churches," he adds, "a« hourglass, near the clock, to ascertain the length of the sermon, which was always limited to one hour. They made the collections in a bag, with a bell io give notice of the approach of the deacons — gatherers "— (z'/oV Wat. An., 191). The whole complexion of the Judge's statement, in connection with the statement of the Consistory of that date, " that there was (then) no other suitable school of the Low Dutch in the city," [post, 49), renders it highly probable that the locality mentioned was the site of Mr. Van Wagenen's labors at this date. FROM 1664 TO 1776. 47 pledged to him for the instruction of the children in the school, /en pounds New York currency, for one year, on condition that he should officiate as chorister alternately in the Old and New Church, as shall be directed by Consistory.

This was accompanied with resolutions relating to Isaac Stoutenburgh and John Van Aernam. choristers in the Old and New churches, providing for Mr. Van Wagenen taking their places occasionally, and paving the way for his permanent ap- pointment.* August 6, 1748, the subject of erecting a school and dwelling- house was referred to a Committee of Consistory, consisting of Abel Hardenbroek, Theodorus Van Wyck, J. Turk and Jan Brevoort ; and Mr. Huybert Van Wagenen having signified his intention to resign, Consistory engaged "Mr. Daniel Br.att, chorister in the church of Catskill, to be chorister in the New Church for the five subsequent years, for which service he is to receive, in addition to the fees for entering baptisms, £\2 \os. He is also to officiate as the schoolmaster , for which he shall be provided with a dwelling-house and school-room by the Old Church, and also with tivelve free scholars, si.\ in reading and six in writing ; for which he shall receive £\2 \os., and also a load 0/ wood for each scholar, annually, half nut and half oak. His services to commence April, 1749." f August 1^1 . — " The Committee for preparing a plan for the building of a school and dwelling-house, e.xhibited one which was unanimously approved ; and it was resolved, that the erection of a building, according to such plan, should forthwith proceed. ";|: In the year 1691, the Dutch Church purchased, for $450, from the Common Council, a tract of land on Garden Street, between William and Broad Streets, "on the north side 175 feet, on the south side 180 feet, more or less." A church was erected here in 1693, on the north side of the street : and opposite this, on the south side, several feet back from the building-line, the school- house (with teacher's dwelling attached) was built. § 1751. — November 18, Mr. Daniel Bratt handed a list of free scholars who were found to be three more than Consistory had appointed. He requested payment for these, and also to take more if they offered themselves ; both of which were agreed to on condition the number should not exceed twenty. || V'. * Con. .Mill., Lib.

" * Mr. Bratt, from the complexion of the records, had been selected with reference to his abilities as chorister. As an in- structor of youth and catechist, he seems not to have rendered complete satisfaction ; hence the division of his labors by the above appointment, and his subsequent dismissal ; for in 1753. April, he was "notified that his services as schoolmaster would end in May, 1754. "f 1755. — The Consistory, at this period, finding themselves unable to procure here the services of an individual possessed of those varied qualifications deemed by them essential in a voorleezer and schoolmaster, and being anxious of obtaining one capable of performing aright those important and responsible duties con- nected with the instruction of youth, especially where the culti- vation of their moral faculties was to be appropriately considered, " Resolved ( January 2'j) lo call a chorister, catechist and schoolmaster from Holland.'^ Articles were prepared, prescribing the duties required, and stipulating the salary, which were committed to the President, to prepare a letter to certain persons in Holland, to be forwarded by the first opportunity.

During the Revolutionary War New York was the head- quarters of the British power in America, and here the most important schemes for operations against the patriots were planned and put in motion. The municipal government was overthrown, martial law prevailed, and the business of the city degenerated almost into the narrow operations of suttling. Many of the residents left the city, and their deserted houses were taken pos- session of by the officers of the army and the refugee loyalists. Barracks and entrenchments were erected from Corlaer's Hook and on the line of Chambers Street to the North River. Five thousand American prisoners were confined in the jails, sugar- houses, and dissenting churches of the city. For about two months several hundred prisoners were huddled together in the Middle Dutch Church, when they were removed, and it was con- verted into a riding-school. The North Church contained eight hundred prisoners, it having been floored over from gallery to gallery. The mahogany pulpit was carefully removed, sent to London, and placed in a chapel there ; the pews were used for fuel. A theatre was established ; tennis-courts and other kinds of amusements were introduced, and for seven years the city re- mained a prey to the licentiousness of strong and idle detach- ments of a well-provided army. To add to these evils, in Sept., 1776, four hundred and ninety-three houses, located between Whitehall Slip and Cortlandt Street, and from the North to the East rivers, were consumed by fire — 'Trinity and the Lutheran Church falling a prey; and again, in August, 1778, three hun- dred houses were consumed in the neighborhood of Coenties Slip. " There were no public-moneyed or charitable institutions ; no banks or insurance offices ; all church services were suspended ; education was entirely neglected, and the schools and college closed."* On the cessation of hostilities the scattered inhabitants gradually returned ; but the evils of war were protracted long beyond its duration ; and the impoverished inhabitants as well as the municipal government suffered for many years from the dis- astrous consequences of British occupation. * Lossing's Field-Book of the Revolution, 835, 836, 865. Valentine's Man. Com. Coun., 1852, p. 435, et seq. FROM 1783 TO THE PRESENT TIME. 65 Yet, notwithstanding this sad and calamitous state of affairs, both public and private, on the re-organization of Consistory, while the interiors of the churches were still in a dilapidated con- dition, it was Resolved, That Mr. Peter Van Steenburgh, who was the public schoolmaster of this conrjregation at the commencement of the war, and is again returned to this city, shall be considered as bound by his former call, and shall have per- mission to dwell in the school-house, and open his school in the large room built for that purpose.* This resolution is dated September 7, 1783, but four days subsequent to the signing of the treaty of peace at Paris. Thus, while the British still remained in possession of the city, the school was re-organized ; the evacuation not taking place till the 25th of November following. March 22, 1784. — "It was ordered that the number of children to be educated by Mr. Van Steenburgh, as charity scholars, shall be restricted to ten." f This is the first use of the term " charity." The school, from the date of its establishment up to the passage of the last resolu- tion, was designated as the Public, Free, or Low Dutch School. Subsequent to the war, there being no public provision for the education of youth, schools were established in connection with the different religious denominations. These depended for their support upon the voluntary contributions of church members. The Episcopal Charity School, known as such since 1748, had received many valuable legacies from individuals in that com- munion, and was materially aided by the large annual collections of the Episcopal churches. These facts led to the adoption of the term "charity" by the various schools organized, as, in that day of general poverty, some such movement was necessary in order to work effectually on the sympathies of the people ; but, like everything adopted upon the principle of availability, in the end it proved most disastrous to the well-being of those very institutions for whose pecuniary interests its use was originally introduced. The Episcopal school subsequently discarded the term, and became a chartered institution under a new and less repulsive title. Our own school, dearly loved and cherished from principle, \\\c>\x^\i laboring for many years under the disadvantages arising from the use, under the sanction of custom, of the obnoxious term, still exists, though it cannot be denied that its usefulness, from this cause, in days that are past was seriously impaired. The term charity may be as appropriately applied to Sabbath- schools or to our common schools as to church schools ; yet who • Consist. Rec, anno 1783, Lib. G. p. 3. t Ibid, anno 1784, Lib. G. p. 16. F 66 HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL is there that would advocate the application of this term to them ? No ! It may answer for other latitudes ; but there is that in it so repugnant to the republican spirit of our people and institutions, that where used injudiciously and unnecessarily in connection with any institution, it so wounds those fine and correct sensibilities of our nature that even the necessitous are led to keep aloof from it, lest they may be pointed at by the finger of derision. The church schools that sprung into existence towards the close of the last century have long since ceased to exist. The period succeeding protracted war has ever constituted the dark days of religion and literature ; and such was the crippled condition of the Collegiate Church at this time, that it was with difficulty the school was sustained. As yet, no fund had been instituted for its support, nor had collections been made for it in the churches ; and as Mr. Van Steenburgh was privileged to have //iir/y pay scholars, exclusive of those educated by the Church, a proposition was made for renting the school-house and attached dwelling to him, on condition that he would teach such children as the Consistory might send him, at the same rate per quarter for tuition as he received from his other scholars. An arrangement to this effect was consequently entered into with Mr. Van Steenburgh, Consistory furnishing him with twelve scholars.* The result, however, was far from satisfactory. The Church felt that she was not performing her full duty towards her children. This institution was her time-honored legacy ; she had long realized the important blessings flowing from it, and she could not relinquish it, nor her jurisdiction over it, without coming short of imperative obligations to her youth. Impelled by a recurring sense of her responsibilities to her youth, and actuated by a regard to her future interests, special efforts were made for a thorough re-organization of the school. To effect this, a committee of Consistory, consisting of Messrs. John Stagg, William Hardenbrook, Elias Nexsen, Nicholas Anthony, and Leonard Bleecker, was appointed. This was in December, 1788. The arrangement with Mr. Van Steenburgh, which had been existing for three years, was revoked. A new engagement was entered into with him, to commence in May following, whereby he was to educate thirty free scholars, for which he was to receive from Consistory ^'35 per annum. f In April, 1789, the above Committee reported to Consistory certain regulations respecting the school, which were unanimously adopted, " subject, however, to such alterations as the Consistory shall hereafter judge necessary to be made. " The first of these was, " That ihe/ree school shall always be considered as depending for its existence and support on the • Con. Rec, Lib. G. S7. f Con. Rec, Lib. G. 146, 147. FROM 1783 TO THE PRESENT TIME. 67 Consistory, and as such be subject to the direction and control of the whole Board. " The school, replaced under the jurisdiction of the Board of Deacons as a standing committee, was to be visited by the whole Consistory quarterly, viz. : in the first week after every adminis- tration of the Lord's Supper ; and provision was made for the attendance of the children on divine service. The remaining regulations, relating mainly and specifically to the internal man- agement of the school, were substantially the same as those now in force in the institution.* In the fall of this year, so far as can be ascertained from the Church records, commenced the practice of providing each scholar with a full suit of clothing, collections being made in the Col- legiate Church for that express purpose. The first sermon upon this subject was preached in the North Church, December 17, services commencing at 5^ P. M.f The sum contributed by the congregation amounted to $216.05, ^^^ most of which was expended by the deacons for the object contemplated. The year following, 1790, collections were taken in the Old, New and North Churches, and ' ' the Consistory rejoiced in finding themselves enabled, by the generous donations of the congregations, to increase the number of scholars, and resolved unanimously to admit twenty more children in the school on the ist of February next. "J For a number of years the liberality of the Collegiate Church in this cause was proverbial, the donations in one instance amounting to $753 ; but of late, from the operation of various causes, the col- lections have materially diminished. Notwithstanding this, the trustees of the institution, with an humble and firm reliance upon Divine Providence, have never yet been coerced to say to any of the necessitous committed to their charge, " Be ye clothed." * Con. Rec, Lib. G. 154, et seq. t A public journal of that day, in publishing the notice for this sermon, adds the following : "Institutions of this kind, which afford to poor children the means of education, and prepare them for usefulness in Church or State, appear of all charities the most laudable. Several denominations of this city have accord- ingly turned their attention to them. The Reformed Dutch Church had, before the war, a charity school, which, during this year, they have been able to revive. They have at present thirty scholars, who are instructed in such branches of learning as will qualify them to be good members of society. The school is visited monthly by the deacons, and quarterly by Consistory ; and whenever the scholars have made such proficiency as is judged necessary, their places are supplied byothei-s. This church depend for the clothing and tuition of the children wholly upon charitable donations, and they trust that their endeavors will be countenanced by the public."

G. 197. 68 HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL 1791. — From the establishment of the school in 1633, the schoolmasters had, with but one or two exceptions, acted as choristers ; and, in order to preserve this peculiarity, Mr. Stan- ton Latham, who had been Clerk in the North Church from October, 1789, was appointed in January, 1790, to supersede Mr. Van Steenburgh ; but the change did not actually take place till May i, 1791. On the nth of January of this year, a com- mittee, appointed to confer with Mr. Latham, made a report to Consistory, and produced a written proposal, signed by Mr. Latham, in which he offered to teach fifty scholars for seven shillings per quarter. After some deliberation, it was resolved to accept the offer ; and Mr. Latham was accordingly appointed to be the schoolmaster of the school under the patronage of this Consistory, and to commence in that duty ist May next, on which day "he is to take possession of the house in which Mr. Van Steenburgh now lives, and occupy as much of the same as Mr. Van Steenburgh now occupies, which house, and the aforesaid sum of seven shillings per quarter for fifty scholars, shall be the whole of his salary as schoolmaster. Resolved, further, that this Consistory have a high sense of the abilities, assiduity, and faithfulness which Mr. Van Steenburgh has for many years exerted in the school which has been under his care, and excepting for the particular reason which respected Mr. Latham as a singing-master in the con- gregation, would have been loth to part with him. Resolved, further, that a copy of this minute be made and given to Mr. Van Steenburgh, which will be at the same time a notification that Mr. Latham is to take possession of the house in which Mr. Van Steenburgh now lives, 1st May next." * November 27. — A collection was taken for the school in the Garden Street Church in the afternoon, and in the Middle Church in the evening, where the children were in attendance, and sung a hymn f suited to the occasion. January 5, 1792. — Dr. Livingston, Messrs. Stoutenburgh, Oothout, Wilson, Gilbers and Sickels, were appointed a com- mittee of Consistory to digest a plan for the most successful pro- motion of the interests of the school. February 2. — The above committee reported as follows : In order as far as possible to extend the benefit of this institution, and to secure to the boys admitted into the school the permanent advantages of the instruction there received, they conceive it proper that it be an indispensable condition of the admission of boys in future, that their parents or guardians * Con. Rec, Lib. G. 199. t This custom, which was discontinued, 1865, was borrowed from the Episcopal Church school, in which it had obtained as far back as the year 1757, and probably a few years earlier. The hymns used by the children of the Reformed Dutch school on these occasions have been prepared, from year to year, by the friends of the institution. A majority of these compositions, running back as far as the year 1813, are now in the possession of the present Principal. FROM 1783 TO THE PRESENT TIME. 69 do previously, by bond, engage themselves to bind them to some useful pro- fession or employment at the expiration of their terms in school, or secure to Consistory the power of so doing. This article was never carried out. That, as far as the consent of the parents or guardians can be obtained, the same resolution be extended to the boys already admitted. That te7i boys be admitted into the school, in addition to the present number under the care of Mr. Latham. That ten girls, at present under the tuition of Mr. Latham, be removed and be put under the care of a female instractor.* Miss Elizabeth Ten Eyck was accordingly engaged, and continued in this capacity until the year 1809, when, upon the introduction into the school of the Lancasterian system of edu- cation, "the Madam's school was dispensed with." She imme- diately opened a private school, to which, during a period of three years, the trustees occasionally sent some of their female pupils to receive instruction in sewing. f During Miss Ten Eyck's con- nection with the school, and for thirty years afterwards, she had the making of the girls' clothing ; and, in whatever capacity she was engaged by the trustees, her duties were always performed in a satisfactory manner. 1795. — Mr. Latham, like his predecessor, enjoyed the privi- lege of having pay scholars ; but the Consistory, impressed with the necessity of having the school composed exclusively of charity scholars, had an interview with him, and, on the 8th day of Jan- uary, they ''Resolved, that from and after the ist February next, none but charity scholars shall be admitted into the school ; and that the number of such shall remain unlimited, and depend from time to time upon the direction of Consistory." And, further, ''Resolved, that from and after the said day, the Con- sistory will pay unto Mr. Latham ;^200 per annum, and that he shall continue to remain in the house, as hitherto, free of all rent." Also, " Resolved, io allow twelve loads of wood every year for the school ; and it is expressly understood that, besides the usual education in literature, Mr. Latham shall teach the scholars psalmody, as is usual in all institutions of this nature." "Mr. Latham being called, and these resolutions com- municated to him, he acquiesced, and declared his willingness and gratitude for this arrangement ; and it is now reciprocally understood that all former agreements are hereby superseded, and that this shall be the basis for the future services of Mr. Latham, and no alteration is to be made therein on either side under at least six months' notice ; and that a copy of this minute be handed to Mr. Latham.

March i, 1804. — The number of scholars under the care of the master was limited to stx/y ; and he was privileged to receive six pay scholars. | In addition to the studies already taught in the school, the boys, if time and circumstances admitted, were to be instructed in the principles of English grammar. A committee was appointed to report upon the propriety of extending the benefits of the institution to such individual or individuals, of superior talents or acquirements, as might be cal- culated to fit them for future usefulness in Church or State. 1808. — For a period of one hundred and seventy-five years, commencing in 1633, the deacons had constituted the Standing Committee of Consistory for the management of the school ; but in the year 1808, May 5, the code of 1789 was amended so as to place the institution under the care of a "Board of Trustees," whose duty it should be "to advise with Consistory in all matters that may be deemed important, and in all things to be under their control." § The original members of the Board were, Messrs. John Stout- enburgh, Richard Duryee, Isaac Heyer, Abraham Brinckerhoff, Anthony Dey, Jesse Baldwin, and John Nitchie, Jr. Their first meeting was held June 9, 1808, in the Consistory-chamber, Garden Street. John Stoutenburgh was chosen Chairman, and John Nitchie, Jr. , Secretary. The Vllth Article of their By-Laws provided for a committee of two of the Trustees, to be called the School Committee ; and at each stated meeting the "Chairman shall appoint one of the School Committee in succession from the Trustees, to supply the place of one whose term shall expire. " This was amended in 1 83 1, so that there is now but one member on the Visiting Committee. January i, 1809. — The school-room having been enlarged, the Lancasterian or monitorial system was introduced into the school, and the number of scholars was increased from seventy- two to one hundred. * Con.

It was then put up in the school-room. What the bank or railway clock is to the adult, this, for many years, has been to anticipative youth ; and though it cannot foretell, yet its indications have sig- nalized the period for the resumption of study, or the desired release. Venerable by age, and faithful amidst all the changes of time, suspended on the walls of the present building, it still answers nobly the precise object for which it was made ; and, were it gifted with speech, it could undoubtedly reveal more knowledge of mischievous frolic than ever fell under the cogni- zance of the teacher. • Con.

This act laid the foundation of the present fund for the support of common schools." " By the act to incorporate the Merchants' Bank in the city of New York, passed the same year, the State reserved the right to subscribe for three thousand shares of the capital stock of that institution, which, together with the accruing interest and divi- dends, were appropriated as a fund for the support of common schools, to be applied in such manner as the Legislature should from time to time direct." "By acts passed March 13, 1807, and April 8, 1808, the Comptroller was authorized to invest such moneys, together with the funds arising from the proceeds of the lotteries authorized by the act of 1803, in the purchase of additional stock of the Mer- chants' Bank, and to loan the residue of the fund."* On the 19th day of June, 181 2, an act was passed for the establishment of common schools in this State, and provision was soon after made, in accordance with the act of 1805, for the distribution of the interest arising from the common school fund.f As there were several Societies in the city of New York at this time already engaged in the work of educating the poor, all of which had for many years been successfully and satisfac- torily engaged in this laudable undertaking, a law was passed March 12, 1813, "directing that the portion of the school fund received by the city and County of New York shall be appor- tioned and paid to the trustees of the Free School Society of New York, the trustees or treasurers of the Orphan Asylum Society, the Society of the Economical School, the African free ' Common School System of the State of New York, by Samuel S.

FROM 1783 TO THE PRESENT TIME. 73 school, and of such incorpora/ed religious Societies in said city as supported or should establish charity schools, who might apply for the same." Under the operation of this law, as the money to be received was to be in proportion to the number of scholars on register, it is natural to suppose that efforts would be made by each school sharing in the distribution of the fund to obtain as many scholars as possible. So far as the Dutch Church school was concerned, however, the limit of scholars fixed in 1809, four years previously, remained unaltered. Impressed with the necessity and importance of imparting religious instruction to the youth under their charge, the trustees of the Free School Society, " on the suggestion, and to meet the wishes of numerous well-meaning individuals, yielded readily to a proposition that an Association of more than fifty ladies, of high respectability and of different religious denominations, who had volunteered for the purpose, should meet in the school-room one afternoon in each week, to give instruction to the pupils from such denominational catechisms as might be designated by their parents. At the same time, to meet their expressed wishes, monitors were appointed to lead them on the Sabbath to their appropriate places of worship. "* This movement was naturally calculated to affect the charity schools then existing in the city ; and on receiving an assurance from the Free School Society that their children should enjoy the same privileges, literary and religious, which they had en- joyed among themselves, the trustees of the Presbyterian school relinquished the portion of the State fund to which they were entitled, and the school eventually disbanded ; but the Dutch Church, adhering to her principles on this subject, and to the practice which for centuries had obtained with her, declined the overture ; and the Consistory on the 14th of January resolved " that the children belonging to the Dutch Church who attended the New York free school, be presented each with a catechism, and be invited to attend a public catechising every Wednesday, at 3 P.M., in the North Church. "f One week later a communication was received by the Con- sistory, from the Free School Society, accompanied by a resolution of the trustees of that institution in the following words : Resolved, That the afternoon of Tuesday (third day) in each week be appropriated for the instruction of the children of the New York free school in the principles of the Christian religion ; and in order that they may be edu- cated in the peculiar tenets of the denomination to which they respectively belont;, the several churches with which they are connected be respectfully invited to send suitable persons to catechise and otherwise so to instruct them. * Vide Sketch of the Rise and Progress Pub.

A communication and resolution of the same character were presented to the Vestry of Trinity Church, and "it was there- upon ordered that the Assistant-Rector and other Clergy of this church be requested to give the necessary attention to the said resolution, and that 200 Common Prayer books be appropriated to the use of the scholars who belong to the Episcopal Church, to be distributed under the direction of the Assistant- Rector." Vide Hist. Trin. Ch., p. 254. t The following extracts from the Annual Reports of the Free School Society furnish, probably, all the information now to be had upon this subject. In their Ninth Annual Report, bearing date May 2, 1814, over the signa- ture of De Witt Clinton, President, after speaking of the progress of their pupils in intellectual attainments, the Report adds : "While the Trustees have been thus engaged in communicating to the understandings of the children the elements of useful knowledge, they have not been unmindful of the importance of imbuing their minds also with a sense of moral and religious obligation. " The afternoon of every Tuesday, or third day of the week, has been set apart for this purpose ; and the children have been instructed in the catechisms of the churches to which they respectively belong. This pious office is per- formed by an Association of highly respectable females, who are in profession with the different religious denominations in the city. The number of children educated in the peculiar tenets of each religious community is, at the present time, as follows : Presbyterians 271 Episcopalians 186 Methodists 172 Baptists 119 Dutch Church 41 Roman Catholic 9 "In the furtherance of the same interesting object, the children have been required to assemble at their respective schools on the morning of every Sabbath, and proceed under the care of a monitor, to such place of public worship as was designated by their parents or guardians. This requisition has been regularly attended to by many, but the want of suitable clothing has pre- vented others from complying with it. It is believed that this deficiency might be amply supplied by the appropriation to this purpose of the garments which are laid aside as useless, in the families of our wealthy fellow-citizens. And, surely, few acts of charity could be more truly benevolent and useful. It would not only contribute to the personal comfort of the children, but it would enable them to join in the public celebration of religious worship. "In cases where an attendance at school previous to going to church is particularly inconvenient, liberty has been given for the children to attend public worship in company with their parents or guardians." Extract from the Tenth Annual Report of May i, 1815 : "The office of communicating religious instruction to the children, by teaching them the catechisms of their respective churches, is still performed by FROM 1783 TO THE PRESENT TIME. 75 The difference between the number of children attending these schools from the Presbyterian and Dutch churches, the former being 34 per cent, and the latter only 5 per cent., may be accounted for by the discontinuance of the Presbyterian charity school, as above stated, while the Dutch Church continued to sustain her institution, and the weekly catechetical expositions to her children. In the year 18 15, in order to give more efficiency to these exercises, the Consistory resolved that each of the ministers ought to have separate classes of the children and youth, and on differ- ent days, so as not to interfere with each other ; and the minis- ters were directed to carry this out. Two months subsequently, on the request of the Rev. Dr. Milledoler, Elders Wilson and Duryeewere appointed to assist him in catechising the children,* Mr. Forrester's scholars, in common with the other children connected with the Dutch Church, assembling as usual in a body for that purpose. March 12, 1818. — The Teacher's Annual Report to Consistory sets forth the attainments of the children at this time, and pre- sents the school in a very favorable aspect. He says : "The school consists of 100 scholars, viz., 76 boys and 24 girls. Of these, 24 boys and 8 girls read in the Old Testament, and 17 boys the Association of benevolent females who so zealously engaged in it. Their kindness has also prompted them to furnish many of the scholars with com- fortable clothing during the late inclement season. "The children at present under the care of the Society are said to belong to the different religious denominations as follows : Presbyterians 365 Methodists 175 Episcopalians 159 Baptists 144 Roman Catholics 57 Dutch Church 33." Extract from the Eleventh Annual Report, May 6, 1816 : " The children continue to receive the advantages of religious instruction communicated to them from the catechisms used in the respective churches to which they belong, in the manner mentioned in the Report of last year." The wide extension of the free schools, and the establishment this year of Sunday-schools, "to which excellent institutions they thereafter commended their pupils," led to a discontinuance of this measure. The free schools in operation at this time were No. i, opened in 1806, in liancker Street (now Madison), near Pearl ; and No. 2, opened in 181 1, in Henry Street. The original object of this Society was " the education of children who do not belong to, and are not provided for by any religious society ; " but, in 1808, they received "authority to educate all children who were proper objects of gratuitous instruction." Clothing donated for the purpose was at times distributed to the necessitous. For the use of the Reports from which the alxjve extracts were taken, the author is indebted to the kindness of Samuel \V. Seton, an individual who has rendered incalculable service to the cause of education in this city. • Con. Rec, Lib.

The Annual Report of the Trustees, accompanying that of the teacher, closes with the following commendatory language, which shows the high estimation in which his services were regarded : "The Board rejoices in being able to say that they are satisfied with the zeal, ability and attention of the teacher, and particularly with the parental care with which he watches over the religious and moral condition of those committed to his charge." December 24. — Commenced the custom of closing the school between Christmas and New Year's. December 28. — Hereafter the school was kept from nine o'clock to three, from the 15th of November to the 15th of March. March 4, 18 19. — A committee of Consistory having deter- mined that the state of the funds warranted an increase of scholars, the number was extended from one hundred to one hundred and ten. April 26. — Bell's system of instruction was introduced into the school. December 27. — The parents were required to furnish certifi- cates of the baptism of children hereafter admitted. May 29, 1820. — From this date the school sessions have been between the hours of nine and three, throughout the year. 1825. — During the years 1796, 1797, and 1801, this school, in connection with the other charity schools of this city, received from the State certain appropriations, and enjoyed for a number of years, in common with the Free School Society, and other educational institutions, the privileges granted by the law of 1813 ; but, in the year 1820, the Bethel Baptist Church organized a free school in the basement of the church, corner of Delancey and Chrystie streets ; and subsequently, in 1822 and 1823, by the permission of the Legislature, two others, from the surplus money which they had in hand : thus they enjoyed privileges FROM 1783 TO THE PRESENT TIME. 77 equal to those of the Free School Society, the Trustees of which, apprehensive that the buildings thus erected for the Bethel free school "becoming church property, might also be appropriated to other purposes than exclusively for the education of the poor," memorialized, with the sanction and co-operation of the Common Council, the State Legislature for a repeal of the law enacted in favor of the Baptists, and for an amendment to the law relative to the distribution of the school-fund in this city, so as " to pre- vent any religious society, entitled to a participation in the fund, from drawing for any other than the poor children of their re- spective congregations." "For," say they, "the Bethel free schools have taken away many scholars from the Society's schools, and thereby diminished the amount of attendance upon them, and, consequently, their revenue derived from the Common- school Fund." The Trustees of the Free School Society thought, also, that they had "discovered a manifestation of a disposition on the part of some other religious societies, to follow the example of the Bethel Baptist Church to the extent of enlarging their schools so as to receive for instruction poor children generally, without re- stricting themselves, as heretofore, to those of their own particu- lar congregations. A school of this description has been opened in Grace Church, under the pastoral care of the Rev. Mr. Wain- wright ; another, for the education of female children, by the Congregational Church in Chambers Street ; and a third will soon be opened by the Dutch Church, in the large rooms in Harmony Hall, at the corner of William and Duane streets ; " "and when it [the Dutch Church School] shall get in full oper- ation, the Trustees have little doubt that they shall be under the necessity of discontinuing Free School No. i." So far as the location of the Dutch Church School and the intention of its Trustees were concerned, the knowledge of a few facts would have materially allayed the fears of the Trustees of the Free School Society. Since the year 1809, when the six pay-scholars allowed the teacher were removed, and at that date (1824), the school consisted exclusively of children whose parents were either ?nembers or habitual ailendanls of the Dutch Church, the Trustees had never entertained the idea of "conferring a gratuitous education upon poor children without distinction of sect," which was the peculiar province of the Free School Society. Again, the erection of aaWi'/wwo/ school-houses was never con- templated by the Dutch Church. For seventy-six years the school had been held in Garden Street ; and the general occu- pation of this section of the city at this period by mercantile warehouses, and the consequent removal of the most of the children from the neighborhood of the school, rendered its 78 HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL removal to a more convenient locality a work of absolute neces- sity. And, when the school was opened in Duane Street, the premises in Garden Street were leased for a number of years, and occupied for other purposes ; and the fear expressed that the four hundred and sixty-six children attending Free School No. I would be withdrawn from it, to attend the Dutch Church School, was groundless, as accommodations were provided in Duane Street for no more scholars than the Trustees were restricted by Consistory to receive, which at that period and up to 1850 was no. The strenuous opposition of Rev. Johnson Chase, the prin- cipal opponent to the revision of the law, as proposed by the Free School Society, was of little avail, as in the November session of 1824 the Legislature passed "an act by which that portion of the common school fund, drawn for the city of New York, was left to the disposal of the Common Council, who were directed by it to designate to whom such distribution should from time to time be made." The Committee of the Common Council, to whom the subject was referred to hear and report upon the claims of the respective parties applying under this act for a share of the fund, deeming "that the school fund of the State was purely of a civil character, designed for civil purposes ; and that the in- trusting of it to religious or ecclesiastical bodies was a violation of an elementary principle in the politics of the State and country," "reported against distributing any portion of the fund to the schools of religious societies;" and, in 1825, introduced an ordinance, which was unanimously adopted, directing the dis- tribution to be made to the "Free School Society," "Mechanics' Society," the "Orphan Asylum Society," and the "Trustees of the African Schools." * 1 83 1. — During Mr. Forrester's connection with the school, it had no female teacher, consequently the girls were not in- structed in needlework."}" To meet this want. Miss Eliza Duryee informed the Board, November, 1831, that an Association had been formed by several ladies for the purpose of teaching the children the ordinary branches of sewing and needlework ; and it was resolved that this facility should be afforded to the girls two afternoons in the week ; this regulation existed for some time. September 8, 1835. — The death of their late President having been announced to the Board, they unanimously Resolved — That in the decease of our beloved and lamented friend, Richard Duryee, we have been deprived of an able counselor, a warm-hearted friend, and an active, useful member of this Board. * For the details of this whole subject, vide xx.

FROM 1783 TO THE PRESENT TIME. 79 Resolved — That the charity children of this church have sustained an irreparable loss, in his fervent prayers, affectionate admonition, and Christian example. Resolved -That we recognize the hand of our covenant God in taking him to his eternal rest, and bow with submission to His holy will, believing that our loss is his gain. Resolved— 'Y\iz.\. we tender to his bereaved widow and afflicted family our sincere and warm sympathies under this painful stroke of Divine Providence, and commend them to the guidance, support and protection of Him who hath .said, " Leave thy fatherless children ; I will preserve them alive ; and let thy widows trust in me." Resolved — That a copy of the above resolutions be presented by the Secretary to his widow. 1840. — The increase of our denomination in the city, and the growing demand for a more extended course of study than that pursued in the school, had long impressed the Trustees with the necessity of endeavoring to procure an edifice for the express accommodation of the school, and of devising such ways and means for increasing its income, that its benefits might be more greatly extended. After mature deliberation, a communication,* prepared by the Secretary, fully expressing the unanimous views of the Board upon these subjects, was presented to Consistory. 1842. — Mr. Forrester, the Principal of the school, was now approaching the allotted period of threescore and ten. For more than forty-five years, the last thirty-two of which he had spent in this school, he had been engaged in performing the arduous and responsible duties which devolve upon an instructor of youth, and the Trustees felt that he "ought to be relieved in a great measure from the bustle and noise with which he had so long been surrounded, and be suffered to enjoy his advancing age with more peace and quietness than could be expected if required to continue in his present station." They therefore recommended a division of the labors of the school, by the em- ployment of a younger person for the general education of the children while Mr. Forrester should be retained as catechist. In doing this, the Trustees cheerfully bore their testimony to the faithfulness of Mr. Forrester, and of their confidence in his desire to promote the welfare of the children. Those whom he had in- structed in the year 1810, the first year of his connection with the school, if still living, had now attained to middle age. During this period, in the commencement of which the schools of this country were in their infancy, rapid advances had been made in the system of instruction ; many new text-books had come into use, and studies had been introduced into the schools, which at an earlier period would have been deemed superfluous ; * Vide Trus. Min. iii. 116 et seq. 8o HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL and it was with the view of enabling the school to enjoy the advantages of these improvements that the Trustees proposed the above change. Consistory having taken action upon the subject, the object which the Trustees had in view was consummated in 1842 by the appointment of the present Principal. Mr. For- rester was retained as catechist, the duties pertaining to which office he faithfully performed for twelve months, when his con- nection with the school ceased altogether.* Thirty-three years ! One generation had passed away, and another had taken its place on the stage of existence. Forty-eight years of joy and sorrow, of labor and reward ! Eter- nity alone can reveal the nature and importance of those influences which it is the duty and privilege of a teacher to exert, for so many years, over the hearts and minds of young immortal beings. Many are they, now members of the body of Christ, whose religious feelings and exercises were called forth and strengthened while under his instruction ; and to him it was ever a source of grateful acknowledgement, that he had been the instrument, under God's hand, of leading so many to walk in the ways of truth. Mr. Forrester, in withdrawing from the charge which he had so long sustained, retired in the enjoyment of the "confidence and esteem of the Trustees in his moral and Christian character, and in his desire to promote the well-being of the numerous children which had been intrusted to his care." Heretofore, the children of both sexes had been classified together for the purpose of receiving instruction ; but on the re-organization of the school in 1842, the girls were segregated, and placed under the supervision and care of Miss Frances Campbell. This was an important advantage secured to the school, the need of which had been long felt. It is ever a subject of regret when any institution is deprived of the counsels, labors and prayers of an efficient officer, through * Mr. Forrester was born in the environs of the city of Edinburgh, Febniary 25, 1774, and was baptized in the West Kirk by Sir Harry Moncrief. In the year 1794, he set sail for America. Before reaching port, he, with a number of others, was impressed and placed on the British man-of-war, the "Africa." Subsequently, for some reason unknown to him, he was placed on board the ship " Fanny," and landed October 16, at the Fly Market. He shortly afterwards located in Tappan. In the year 1795, at the age of twenty-one years, he com- menced teaching school at Closter. Here he remained three years and a half, when he returned to the " Lil^erty Pole," six miles nearer to this city. Here he taught for eight years, when he was offered the charge of the school in Nassau street, opposite the Middle Dutch Church, then under the care of the Presbyterian Church. Having spent three years in this connection, he was appointed, in the year 1810, as the master of the Dutch Reformed Church School. Deceased March 26, 1865, aged 91 years and one month.

In conformity with a prominent feature of this institution, which happily combines religious with intellectual education, its pupils, independent of instruction in the principles of Divine truth received through the week, have ever been required to attend divine service on the Sabbath. Subsequent to the Revo- lutionary War, the children assembled every Sabbath at the school-room in Garden Street, in ample time to proceed with their teacher to the seats provided for them in the "Old Church." After Sabbath Schools were established in the city, they at- tended the one held in the Consistory building, at the corner of Nassau and Ann streets, till the year 1829, when a school was organized in the New or Middle Church, Nassau Street ; and here, under Sabbath School instruction and the teachings of the sacred desk, they remained till the year 1840, when they occu- pied the gallery of the North Church, attending at the same time the Sabbath School in the Consistory building, at the corner of Ann and Nassau streets. In September, 1841, a majority of the children having been found to reside north of Grand Street, Consistory directed them to attend the Sabbath School and church in Ninth Street, between Broadway and the Fourth Avenue. This institution being the only one of the kind connected with the Dutch Church, and being composed of children whose parents resided in the vicinity of the churches which they respect- ively attended, it became an onerous duty for the scholars to at- tend twice on the Sabbath, from distances ranging from Dey Street to Twenty-third Street, and from the North to the East River. Many communications on the subject having been addressed to the Trustees by the parents, the Consistory, in Jan- uary, 1847, granted the Board the privilege of permitting the children to attend Sabbath School and church at those churches with which their parents were connected, and near which they resided. This privilege was then generally enjoyed by the children, under the following regulations, which accompanied each cer- tificate : Resolved, That in all cases in which any pupil of the school is permitted to attend .Sabliath School and church elsewhere than at Ninth Street, it shall l)e 84 HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL the duty of such child to produce a monthly certificate from his Superintendent that he regularly attends the Sabbath School and church with which he is con- nected, and it shall be the duty of the Principal of the school to report all cases of omission to this Board, accompanied with explanations of the cause. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be communicated by the Prin- cipal to parents, guardians and Superintendents who are interested in the same. As one great object of the school is religious instruction, the above resolu- tions have been adopted, that the Trustees may be assured that the Sabbath is not violated by any of the pupils of the school, but that they are in the enjoy- ment of religious instruction in the Sabbath School and under the preaching of the Gospel. THOMAS JEREMIAH, Secretary. January 25, 1847. This same privilege is now conceded to all the scholars, re- siding, as many of them do, at a considerable distance from the school. Revenue of the School. During the first thirty years of the existence of the school, its teachers, appointed by the Dutch West India Company, in con- nection with the Classis of Amsterdam, were remunerated from the treasury of the Colonial Government. While the city was under the jurisdiction of the English, the support of the school devolved entirely upon Consistory. Whether its expenses, which were not very great, were defrayed by annual collections in the churches, or by a resort to such limited sources of revenue as the Church may have possessed, cannot be definitely ascertained. On the re-organization of the school, subsequent to the Revo- lutionary War, commencing in 1789, collections were annually made in the three branches of the Collegiate Church. The money thus obtained was expended in clothing the children ; the teacher's salary, and other expenses of the school, were defrayed from the general fund of the Church. Subsequently (1792) a legacy, amounting to seven hundred and fifty dollars, was bequeathed by Elias Brevoort to Consistory for the benefit of the school. This gave rise to an eff"ort ' ' to secure an independent revenue for the future advancement of the seminary;" and it was Resolved, "That measures betaken for establishing a fund to be put at interest." "That, in addition to testamentary and other donations which have been or may be given for the support of the school, the overplus of all moneys annually collected, after the payment of all charges, be added to the fund." "That all money received and collected for the use of the school shall be received by the Treasurer, and paid by him, on the war- rants of Consistory." In the year 1808, this was amended so as to read, "on the audit and order of the Board of Trustees only, and not otherwise." And it was further i?^j-o/wd' (1792), FROM 1783 TO THE PRESENT TIME. 85 "That the Treasurer shall hereafter keep a separate and distinct account of all moneys received on account of this fund, and of their appropriation ; and that both principal and interest of said moneys shall be applied invariably to the maintenance of this charity, and the promotion of its interests." The Treasurer, in his Annual Report to Consistory, renders an account of the re- ceipts and expenditures of this fund, which report is audited by a Committee of Consistory appointed for the purpose. As the combined result of four different legacies,* and annual collections in the Collegiate Church, the fund of the school, in 1826, amounted to eleven thousand and twenty-seven dollars and ninety-two cents ($11,027.92). This was subsequently increased by annual collections in the Collegiate Church, so that, in 1847, the fund amounted to sixteen thousand two hundred and eighteen dollars and eight cents ($16,218.08). The purchase of the lots on Fourth Street, and the erection of the school-house, exhausted $9,260.70 of this, which, with subsequent outlays upon the building, amounting to $561.79, left in the Treasurer's hands $6,395.59. The salaries of the teachers, the clothing of the children, fuel, books and stationery amounted, for the year 1852, according to the Treasurer's Annual Report, to $2,412.72. The income from the different sources of revenue for the same year amounted to $1,121.74; leaving a deficit of $1,290.98, which was met by Consistory. Is there not sufficient of the spirit of our godly ancestors, who founded and sustained the school for so many generations, to induce its friends, in view of the incalculable good which the institution has accomplished in days that are past ; in view of its present acknowledged usefulness to the children of our Church, to make an effort to secure for it an independent fund, fully adequate to its support .'' We believe that there is. Locality of the School. For more than a hundred years after its establishment the school was kept at various places in the vicinity of the Bowling- Green, apartments being hired for that purpose. Prior to 1748 it was at the corner of INIarketfield and Broad streets. At this date the first school-house was erected in Garden Street, where it remained for a period of seventy-six years ; but as the congre- gation removed from the lower extremity of the city, the North Church became its centre ; and under these circumstances the prop- • Elias Brevoort's, 1792, $750; Sarah De Peystei's, 1802, $5,392.78; Isaac Slidell's, 1804, $831.37 ; Mary Bassett's, 1807, $1,500. 86 HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL erty, No. 9 Duane Street, near William Street, was leased ; and after undergoing some necessary alterations the school was removed thither, 1824 ; and a dwelling-house for the teacher (in lieu of the one vacated in Garden Street) was erected in William Street, east of Duane Street. The Newsboys' Lodging House, formerly the Shakspeare Hotel, now occupies the space formerly inter- vening between the school-house and the teacher's residence. Here the school remained till 1835, when it removed to No. 106 Elm Street, south-west corner of Canal Street, and the teacher resided No. 25 Carmine Street. From 1836 to 1841 it occupied the basement of the church corner of Broome and Greene streets, removing thence to the basement of the church on the corner of Greene and Houston streets, where it remained for one year, removing, in 1842, to the premises No. 91 Mercer Streeet. Here it continued for five years, when a temporary provision was made for it in the base- ment of the Ninth Street Church, pending the erection of the school edifice at No. 183 Fourth Street. In the beginning of the year 1840 the Trustees, impelled by a sense of duty towards the children under their care, prepared and presented a communication to Consistory, in which their attention was drawn to the necessity of providing a suitable and permanent locality for the school, as previously mentioned, and of adopting such other reformatory measures as would be calcu- lated to increase the efficiency of the institution over which they presided. This was the commencement of a series of eff'orts which secured to the school, from time to time, important advan- tages, and which, after a period of seven years, resulted in the purchase of the ground in Fourth Street, west of the Sixth" Avenue. Immediate measures were taken to erect thereon an edifice suitable for school purposes, Messrs. Peter R. Warner, Mortimer De Motte, and Thomas Jeremiah constituting the Building Committee. The building, No. 183 Fourth Street, erected for the express accommodation of the school, was a substantial brick edifice, forty feet front by forty-five feet deep. The main room on the first floor was occupied by the Boys' Department ; adjacent to which were two class-rooms, and a wardrobe for their accommodation. The second floor was occupied by the Girls' Department. It consisted of one large room and four class-rooms. In one of these the Trustees held their stated meetings ; and its walls were occupied with specimens of drawings and ornamental needle- work executed and presented by the graduates of the institution ; and also with frames containing their daguerreotypes, from the establishment of Abraham Bogardus, photographer. FROM 1783 TO THE PRESENT TIME. 87 The rooms on the third floor were appropriated to exercises in sewing, drawing, etc. Outline maps were delineated on the walls of the school- rooms, and each department was supplied with the Croton water. The Trustees of the institution, desirous of providing for the children the means of enriching their minds with profitable read- ing, and of cultivating among them a taste for literary pursuits, induced a number of its friends to contribute funds sufficient to procure not only a list of miscellaneous works adequate at that time (1847) to the wants of the school, but also some astronomical apparatus. The number of volumes in the library has since been augmented by some valuable works donated by Hon. James W. Beekman, and in March, I'i ^6, fifty -one volumes were added, the gift of Peier R. Warner, Esq., of the Board of Trustees, and again, in 1864, for all which a vote of thanks was presented to him by the Board. Ground was broken in July, 1847, ^.nd the building was so far completed that the Anniversary exercises were held therein, October 28th, in the presence of a crowded audience. The Order of Exercises was as follows : 1. Prayer, by Rev. John Knox, D.D. 2. Hymn, by the Scholars, "Jerusalem, my happy home." 3. Declamation, " The President " Alexander H. Layman 4.

The following pages contain the names of the scholars for the past ninety-four years. The record of scholars previous to the American Revolution has not been preserved, which is to be regretted, for our ancestors on this island were so attached to their language and their Church polity, that it is reasonable to infer that they would cause their children, from generation to generation, to be instructed in those elements of Divine truth and of secular knowledge, which would foster attachment to the Mother Church and prepare them for usefulness in the Church and in the world. Two names, at least, have been preserved. Abram Brower, who at the time of his death, in 1832, was aged 80, states {vide Watson's Annals, N. Y. , p. 172), that when a lad " he went to the Dutch School, to his grandfather, Abraham Delanoye (a French Huguenot, via Holland), whose school was in Cortlandt Street." This was undoubtedly the branch school established by Con- sistory in 1743, for the convenience of those children attending the Middle Church, Nassau Street, who resided too far up-town to attend the Main School, near the Garden Street Church, of which Gerrit and Huybert Van Wagenen were the schoolmasters from 1733 to 1749 ; vide History of the School, and its Locality. The late Judge Egbert Benson (in an address read by him before the N. Y. Historical Society, Dec. 31, 1816), states that "in his early youth he attended school at the corner of Market- field and Broad Streets, where he learned the Dutch Catechism. They used in the Dutch churches," he adds, "an hour-glass near the clerk, to ascertain the length of the sermon, which was always limited to one hour. They made the collections in a bag with a bell, to give notice of the approach of the deacons (gatherers)." * 1765, May 21. — Egbert Benson graduated from King's (now Columbia) College. 1775. — Was a Deputy to the Provincial Congress. ' 1777. — Attorney-General, State of N. Y. 1777-8, — Member of the Council of Safety. 1778-81. — Member of Assembly. * Vide the .iddress in Historical Society publications and Watson's Annals, p. 191. no CATALOGUE OF SCHOLARS. 1780. — Appointed Commissioner to the Federal Constitutional Convention. 1 78 1-4. — Delegate to Continental Congress. 1784. — One of the Commissioners for settling the boundary between New York and Massachusetts. 1790. — One of the Commissioners for settling the boundar}' between New York and Connecticut. 1782 to 1802. — Regent of the University. 1786. — Commissioner to a Convention for promoting a uni- form system of commercial intercourse between the several States. 1789-93. — Member of First and Second Congress. 1 813-15. — Member of Thirteenth Congress. 1794. — Justice of New York State Court. 1 80 1. — Judge United States Circuit Court. 1803 to 181 5. — Trustee of the New York Society Librar}'. Was one of the founders of the New York Historical Society, and was elected its first President, serving from 1805 to 1816. The dates of admission and withdrawal in the following cata- logue refer to the days when the Board of Trustees met, and the names came before them. In those instances where a scholar re-entered the school after a brief interval, the dates of the original entry zxiA final withdrawal only are given. Where the interval was a year or over, all the dates are inserted. In this catalogue will be found the names of many who have filled offices of honor and trust in the community. The Records of the Teachers previous to 1842 are occasionally incomplete, and, as neither of them is now living, it is possible that the name of some former scholar may not be found in the catalogue, or he may have failed to receive the special notice to which he is justly entitled for public services rendered. It is requested that information respecting such names or services be forwarded to the Principal, or to any member of the Board of Trustees.

After the Catalogue of the Scholars had been printed- page 1 1 1 the following minute was accidentally discovered in the Book for Visitors in use at the school : September 25. 1867. Visited this School this morning for the first time since I left it, a pupil, some sixty-two years ago. Was very much pleased with the perfect order and the singing of the children. At the time I was a member of the School it was in Garden Street, opposite the Old South ("hurch, under the supervision of Mr. Latham. Well do 1 remember many incidents that occurred at that time, which appears but yesterday. I now look in vain for many of my then classmates. John De Lamatkk. This would fix the date of his withdrawal about the year 1805, at which lime his father, Samuel De Lamater, who resided from 1799 to 1802 at No. 18 Dey Street, was one of the school officers. The probability is that his son entered about the year i8co, when he was eight years of age. Prior to 1808, when the school was ))Iaccd under the care of a Special l>oard of Trustees, it was managed by the Deacons, and the records were kejit in a very incomplete manner. Tlie Slinutes found in their records usually states that the School Committee had admitted so many scholars to fill vacancies, without specifying any names. This was especially the case alxjut the beginning of the present century, and may account for the fact that the name of John De Lamater is not to l)e found among the list of scholars. Other names may yet be brought to light which were omitted under the same circumstances. Mrs. McFarran ( Vide Note 317), who left in 1805, well remembers liim as a school- 238 male.

This celebration was held in the Collegiate Dutch Church, Fifth Avenue and Twenty-ninth Street, on the evening of Nov. 22, 1883, a large and appreciative audience being in attendance. The pulpit was occupied by the senior pastor. Rev. Thomas E. Vermilye, D. D. , LL. D. ; the presiding officer, Rev. Talbot W, Chambers, D. D. ; Rev. Edward B. Coe, D. D. ; Rev. Sullivan H. Weston, D. D. ; Samuel G. Jelliffe, Esq., and Mr. Henry W. Dunshee, the Principal of the School. Among the clergy present were : Rev. John A. Lansing, D.D.; Rev. William V. V. Mabon, D.D.; Rev. G. H. Mandeville, D.D. ; Rev. John L. See, D.D.; Rev. Roderick Terry, D.D.; Rev. Paul D. Van Cleef, D.D.; Rev. J. Howard Suydam, D.D.; Rev. A. R. Van Nest, D.D. ; Revs. William Anderson, Graduate 1831; Henry De Vries, Elijah S. Fairchild, Isaac E. House, Charles Parker, John Ruston, William H. Storrs, Graduate 1847 ; Abraham Thompson, Henry Vehslage, Graduate 1848 ; and Oliver H. Walser. The Board of Trustees was fully represented by : Messrs. Henry W. Bookslaver, Chairman ; James Anderson, M.D., Frederick R. Hutton, Ralph N. Perlee, Robert Schell, Abraham V. W. Van Vechten, and Augustus S. Whiton. The Ex-Trustees and Consistory by : Messrs. Richard Amerman, William Bogardus, Abraham Bogardus, William L. Brower, John S. Bussing, Charles A. Colby, William H. Dunning, Peter Donald, James S. Franklin, John Graham, David Gillespie, William P. Glenney, Wdliam C. Giffing, George S. Stitt, John Van Nest, Henry Van Arsdale, M.D. ; James Voorhis and Peter R. Warner. The St. Nicholas Society by a delegation consisting of : Messrs. John D. Wilson, Chauncey M. Depew, Robert G. Renisen, James H. Beekman, Frederick J. De Peyster, A. R. Macdonough, Benjamin L. Swan, Jr.; William H. De Launay, Edgar De Peyster and Thomas Storm, Among other gentlemen present were : Messrs. Samuel E. Sproulls, Graduate 1824 and Ex-President of the Mer- chants' Exchange Bank ; Frederick W. Devoe, Commissioner of Education ; Thomas Dickson, President Delaware and Hudson Canal Company ; Col. Thomas F. Devoe, William M. McLaury, M.D. ; Prof. David B. Scoit, of the New York College ; Henry B. Dawson, Historian ; representatives from the TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY 247 Vestry of Trinity Church, the Historical and Geograpical Societies, and other invited guests, who occupied the pews on either side of the pulpit and in the body of the church. The interior of the church was tastefully draped with the colors of Holland and the United States, the former of which was loaned for the occasion by Hon. John R. Planten, Consul- General of the Netherlands. Back of the pulpit, standing out conspicuously above the colors of the two nationalities, was set a beautiful floral piece, representing the coat-of-arms of William of Orange, quartered in red, orange, pink and white. Directly facing this was festooned, in front of the organ, the motto of the school, Ora et Labor a. The programme for the evening was as follows : 1. Organ Voluntary and Processional. 2. Anthem, "I will Give Thanks" — Barnhy. 3. Prayer, Rev. Thomas E. Vermilye, D.D. 4. Solo and Chorus, "Incline Thine Ear" — Himmei. 5. Historical Address, Rev. T. VV. Chambers, D.D. 6. Address, Merrill Edward Gates, Ph. D., LL.D. 7. Anthem, "Great and Marvelous are Thy Works " — Farmer. 8. Address, Samuel G. Jelliffe, Esq. 9. Address, Rev. Sullivan H. Weston, D.D. ID. DOXOLOY. II. Benediction, Rev. Edward B. Coe, D.D. The music was rendered by a choir of twenty-four graduates of the School, with Mr. Frederick W. Steins as Conductor, and Miss Mary P. Dunshee, the Vice-Principal of the School, as Organist ; and the ushers were also from among graduates of the School. Mrs. Sarah McFarran, a lady of ninety-one years, the oldest surviving graduate of the School, which she left in 1805, after completing the course, was one of the earliest ladies at the Church. That she gathered around herself a number of friends on that occasion can easily be comprehended, and that she was, too, the subject of the warmest congratulations. 248 TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY HISTORICAL ADDRESS, By Rev. Talbot W. Chambers, D.D. The historical address of Dr. Chambers opened with an allusion to the state of affairs in Europe at the time when this school was founded, two and a half centuries ago. Cardinal Richelieu was at that time ruler of France. The Thirty Years' War was raging through Germany, leaving broad tracks of devastation which can be recognized to this day ; and Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, "the Lion of the North," had but recently yielded up his Jife on the plain of Lutzen, when a chaplain and a schoolmaster were dispatched from Holland to the young settlement of New Amsterdam — a fair indication of the spirit of the Home Government, and the principles on which they proposed to rely for the success of their Colonial venture. One of these is finely illustrated in one of Carlyle's essays, where he contrasts moral and physical forces by referring to the famous Tartar pyramid of skulls (something, like that of Gizeh), which struck terror in every direction, while at that very time there was a boy playing in the streets of a German city, whose fertile brain would produce an invention to last through all time, and change the face of, the world. The builder of the former was Genghis Khan, the prince of butchers ; the other was Gutenberg, the foster-father of the art of printing. Firmly convinced, as the Hollanders were, that the pen is mightier than the sword, the Dutch Government, in founding the new settlement, laid learning and religion side by side as its corner-stones. Three years after the opening of the school in New Amster- dam, Harvard College began its great career, starting amid the penury of the early settlers, and going steadily on to success and wealth, until it to-day counts its resources by millions of dollars, and, in the character of its students and the number of its instructors, can take rank with the famous seats of learning in the Old World. The Dutchmen, however, had in view no such career for their little enterprise. They founded it as a primary school, and, although the course has been greatly extended in the lapse of these two and a half centuries, the school has ever been content to remain "a school." The records of the early history of our Church in this country are exceedingly meagre, and there is, consequently, very little in the way of detail that can be ascertained in regard to the first years of its progress. We have, however, the names of the seventeen masters of the school, beginning with Adam Roelantsen in 1633, OF THE SCHOOL. 249 and closing with the present Principal, Mr. Henry W. Dunshee, who has been in office since 1842. It is pleasant to note that in the past no years there have been only four schoolmasters. Passing on to the scholars who had received instruction in the institution, Dr. Chambers mentioned the fact, that in the audience was a lady, now in her ninety-first year, who was graduated at the school in 1805, and whose great-grandson is now one of its pupils. Colonel Egbert Benson, an honored member of one of the old families of our city, records that the early years of his life were passed in the School of the Collegiate Dutch Church. During the last forty years twenty-three hundred pupils have been taught and trained, the history of 1,100 of whom can be traced to-day. Of these i.ioo, 58 percent, are now in the full communion of the Christian Church. Many of them have gone into business, where they bear honorable records. Ten are engaged in the ministry of the Gospel, and there is now one in training for the sacred office. Fifteen are in the practice of the law. Nine have become physicians. Nor is there lacking a creditable "war record." During the Civil War seventy of its graduates went to the front, and not a few of them laid down their lives in defence of their native land. The theory of the school is, that the children shall be taught in the principles of our holy religion, as those principles are formu- lated in the Heidelberg Catechism. A Christian atmosphere has always pervaded the exercises, so that, while the idea of the institution, as one in which knowledge is imparted and the mental faculties are trained, has been kept steadily in view, this has ever been carried on amid such surroundings and under such influences as would tend to develop traits in the child which would incline him or her in maturer years toward the paths of righteousness and truth. THE STUVVESANT PEAR TREE— ViiU p. 28 250 TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY PRESIDENT GATES' ADDRESS, The Influence of Christianity upon Education. In turning over the leaves of translations of the Chinese classics, one is sadly impressed by the constant responsibility which the Chinaman seems to feel for the proper burial of the aged. Page after page takes up the subject, discussion after dis- cussion, starting with other themes, inevitably ends in a melan- choly relapse to this sad topic, until the conviction forces itself upon you that the whole life of the Chinaman is overshadowed, and his whole being oppressed by the responsibility of deciding how properly to dispose of the poor mortal remains of his aged relatives and friends. Is not this symbolic of the awful pressure upon China of a lifeless past.f' And may we not find a perfect and a joyous contrast to it in the wide-spread, deep-felt interest in the life of the young that marks our own land and our own age .? Your presence here to-night is an illustration of this interest. As a nation, we are enthusiasts in matters of education. The maxim, "Come, let us live for our children," seems to have permeated American life. This interest in education is in part the cause and in part the effect of our steady looking toward the future. As a people, we are systematically and persistently hopeful. As a nation, our attention is too constantly fixed upon the material interests of the present, upon the particular piece of work we may have imme- diately in hand. When our thoughts are not on the busy PRESENT, we look forward and not backward, to the future and not to the past. So fixed is this habit of mind that we are some- what surprised when we find that we have a past ! Even this last decade of "centennial celebrations" has hardly convinced us that we have a history. There is no such gratifying novelty with us as a genuine flavor of antiquity. And an occasion that com- memorates any event connected with a church or a school two hundred and fifty years old is indeed a novelty among us. There are but half a dozen places in the land where such an anniversary is possible. A historic address, such as that to which we have just listened, should remind us afresh that to the Dutch who settled this part of the country we owe, among many debts, one for the awakening and preserving of a historic consciousness among us. They had a dress, an architecture, a language and social cus- OF THE SCHOOL. 25 1 toms, strange alike tcus now, and to that Mother-England, with whose earlier history ours so naturally blends. The Dutch houses, with their gable-ends to the streets — built of the little Holland-baked bricks, and filled with Dutch furniture, and perhaps with Dutch portraits — these things have helped always, and still help, to give us as a people a sense of historic perspec- tive, a vivid consciousness of colonial days, and a direct connec- tion with Continental Europe. Our early associations are not confined to insular England, noble a heritage as is our share in England's past. Thus the history of this Dutch Church School takes hold on three centuries and on two hemispheres. The especial sig- nificance of this school and its history seems to me to lie in two facts : I. It was established as a free school, the first free school on the territory of this State, if not the first in the country. In these days, now that a place is fully conquered for the free-school system, it is almost impossible for us to understand the difficulties which were encountered by the early friends of free schools. All honor to those who first vindicated and applied the principle here in our Western land. But, with the general establishment of free public schools, the lack, the radical defect in any system of education which makes no provision for moral and religious training has become clearer and clearer to all thoughtful minds. This school, by steadily giving such moral and religious training, has emphasized this need by contrast. And this brings us to that other aspect of this school and its work, which I wish to notice : II. It has always been a school supported by a Christian Church, distinctively as a piece of Christian work. For this reason its history has an especial interest. And the occasion naturally suggests the question : What are the inter- acting inlluences of Christianity upon education, and of educa- tion on Christianity } I submit, then, that true religion, Christianity, uiiiformly does and should stimulate and broaden the intellectual life. Our time has seen the publication of certain attempts at a philosophy of history, based upon a purely mechanical interpre- tation of statistics, minimizing spiritual forces as much as possible, and belittling the influence of great souls and strong wills on the world's history. These writers attempt to explain all the revolutions and reforms the world has witnessed by the physical agencies of climate and race impulses, and to avoid belief in a directing Providence by recourse to unexplained "tendencies of the age." The influence of these books has 252 TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY been great, especially among people who like to appear to themselves and to others to be philosophical, but who have not the ability to detect fallacies, or to distinguish between demon- strations and mere assumptions, between intelligent discussion of the modes in which clearly discernible forces act, and vague general terms so used as to veil the absence of proof under a show of the love of logic. The extreme form of such teaching allies itself on one side with agnosticism, and on the other, with that gross physiological philosophy which is summed-up in such epigrams as Feuerbach's German pun : '■'■Mann ist was er us/." " Man is what his food makes him;" and that other celebrated dictum: "The brain secretes thought, as the liver secretes bile." Speakers and writers who hold such opinions are notoriously active in dissem- inating them, and are loud in denouncing Christianity and Christian institutions as utterly opposed to intellectual progress, and especially to the "true scientific spirit. " This charge has been so often reiterated, that many well-meaning Christians seem to take it for a truth. And it sometimes seems as if many of the attempts which certain preachers in Christian churches are persistently making to " reconcile " religion and science were especially calculated to perpetuate this mistaken idea, that science and religion are natural antagonists. Against this idea, alike, the finest minds of all ages, and the deliberate common-sense verdict of all Protestant nations, most decidedly protest. Look at the history of the world since the Reformation ! Not all the eiforts of those philosophers who "patter a thin agnosticism," or adopt a gross materialism ; not all their glitter- ing generalities regarding a spontaneous awakening, the necessary result of the tendencies of the times ; not all the polished sophistries and the casuistic pleading of any orators, American or English, who attempt to explain away the man Luther ; not one nor all of these can blind us to the fact, that, for these last four hundred years, since Luther, with unshakable faith and indomi- table courage first exposed the evil of enforced ignorance on spiritual matters, and, Bible in hand, dared to withstand the power that tried to enforce such ignorance, it is the spin'/ o/the Gospel that has lifted Europe and the world upward and for- ward. No "tendency of the times," no illumination from natural science, will explain the mighty changes ! It was the illumination that broke from God's Holy Word, held in every man's hand, read in every man's house, and binding, without interference of priest, on every man's conscience, and every man's life — it was /h's that worked, and still works, the transformation ! OF THE SCHOOL. 253 Say the German sceptics and their English followers : "'Twas 'the Zeitgeist,' the Spirit of the Age !" "No," cries the true philosophical student of history and the true believer ; "no 'spirit of the age' can account for these results. It is the Spirit of God !" And wherever the knowledge of God's truth has made men free, science and education have prospered. If one wishes to understand the difference, in their effects on learning and education, between Christianity, God's truth, and a false religion, let him visit, as it was my fortune to do, three or four years ago, the greatest Mohammedan University of the world, at Cairo, Egypt. You all know that for several centuries Mohammedans led the way in the study of mathematics and the natural sciences — were the teachers of Europe — of the world. We cannot name algebra, key to all the higher mathematics, without bearing witness in its first syllable, the Arabic article, to its Arabic origin ; and chemistry, most widely ramifying of the natural sciences, is the Arab al-chemy developed by instruments of precision, and by sound hypotheses and careful experiment, unto an exact science. Now, what has a false religion done for natural science and education among the Arabs .f* Let us see. The University of Cairo, by far the most important Moham- medan university in the world, with its 300 professors and 10,000 students, gathered from the four quarters of the Mohammedan world, with courses of study filling from three to six years, has shown what progress.^ 'Twas founded 900 years ago. What is its course of study to-day.? Arabic grammar and a course of theologic instruction founded on the Koran. Then a course in law, divided into the religious law of Islam, which deals with the unity of God, and the doctrine that Mohammed is His prophet, the duty of repeating the canonical prayers, of giving alms, of fasting, and of going on a pilgrimage to Mecca; and a course in secular law, also based on the Koran and its inter- preters. The works of all these commentators on the Koran are committed to memory. Any criticism or independent thought, deviation of any kind from the accepted views, is not for a moment tolerated. Beside these principal branches of instruction, there are brief courses in logic, rhetoric, the art of poetry, rules for the correct pronunciation of the letters and for intoning the Koran. This is all ! So far are they from intel- lectual progress, that even geometry, algebra and astronomy, in which they were once so honorably pre-eminent, have long ago fallen into utter oblivion. For natural science, they have a supreme contempt. 2 54 TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY Against such influences as this, science may well protest. But in Europe and America, and wherever Christianity prevails, nothing can be wider of the truth than the assertion that Chris- tianity has been opposed to the intellectual life, and to the development of science. Here in America, especially, natural science has been cradled and nurtured at Christian colleges. American churches have always fostered education. Since our land was settled, Christian churches have cherished our colleges ; and our Christian colleges have been the nursing mothers of natural science. As a rule, Christian men have given the money for buildings and laboratories, for scientific libraries and illustrative collections. Christian men have led, and still lead the way in scientific research. The very ministry, for whose broad education so many of our colleges were explicitly founded, while they have opposed, and must ever oppose, the sensualizing tendencies of that science, falsely so called, which sinks to gross materialism, have been among the most earnest advocates of the spirit and work of true scientific investigation. The churches which have laid the most emphasis on the need of an educated ministry, have been quick to see that there is no work which the Creator has sent fit to do, which is not worth the painstaking study of the reverent Christian. And while those studies which deal distinctively with man as a rational, moral and religions being, have always received, as they always should receive, the first place in a course of liberal study, our Christian colleges have been the homes in which the physical sciences have grown to their present proportions. Most of our colleges have been founded since the Revolu- tion. Among the hundreds of institutions in our land that bear the name of college or university, Rutgers is one of the few (only nine all told) which were founded before 1776. And this century has seen the growth, one might almost say the birth and growth, of the natural sciences. Lavoisier's work in organizing the science of chemistry on a truly scientific basis, belongs to the last years of the last century. Dalton's law of chemical equiva- lents and definite proportions was first given to the world in 1808. Cuvier's works on "Fossil Bones" and the "Animal Kingdom," published in 181 2 and 181 7, made Zoology a system- atic science. Geology was taking form at the same time — through the systematic study of the earth's strata, by William Smith and others. Mineralogy and Botany in their present form were taking shape during this same first quarter of our century. As late as 1805, the whole mineralogical and geological collec- tions of Yale College went in a single small bo.x from New Haven to Philadelphia, that they might be classified and labeled by Dr. Adam Seybert, "then fresh from Werner's School at Freiburg," OF THE SCHOOL. 255 the only man in the country capable of performing this work. Under such reverent Christian scholars as the elder Silliman and Hitchcock and Dewey, laboratories were equipped and collections gathered at our Christian colleges, and Chemistry, and Geology, and Botany became departments of research and study. The natural sciences had not much strength or many followers in America then ; but all the strength they had was developed at Christian colleges, which then and always since have cherished their study, hailed their new discoveries and supported their most costly experiments. In our Sister Dutch city, old Fort Orange, up the Hudson, I had the honor of presiding for twelve vears over an institution of learning, founded and always maintained as a Christiatt institu- tion, round the walls of which are still to be traced the marks of the circuits of wire, two miles or more in length, through which Dr. Joseph Henry, that distinguished Christian man of science (whose early experiments there in electricity and whose later labors in the Smithsonian Institute have given to his name a world- wide fame), was sending his electric-bell signals, for some time before Morse's successful experiments in telegraphy. At this and at other Christian institutions of learning, early experiments were laying the foundations for that marvelous development of the powers and laws of electricity which has wrought such changes in our modern life. Electricity, this latest-summoned of the slaves of the Lamp of Science, who now keeps the world agog and tiptoe, wondering at what has already been done, and tantalized by long-delayed promises of vast revolutions in all our motive powers and mechanical appliances — this subject of elec- tricity, from Franklin's day and Henry's earlier experiments down to our own time, has been the object of study and experiment at our Christian institutions, where have been made many of the most brilliant discoveries of its laws and its useful applications. Let it not be said, then, in our land, that Christianity has sought to fetter and cripple science, or that one department of God's truth is hostile to another ! Would that the name of science were never used to cover atheistic assaults upon the existence, the rightful authority and the revealed word of the God whose will has fixed and now maintains that universal order which alone renders science possible ! Would that the agnostic might no longer waste his time, wreck his manhood and wrong his reason in the efl'ort to construct an artificial haze of speculation, which shall be dense enough to blind him to the rays of divine truth ! Those ravs, "shining in their own light," will still smite upon the vision of his conscience, will ever make him doubt his own sophistries, and with such awe as Kant expressed, see God in " the starry heavens above and the moral law within." 256 TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY Christianity has ever laid a sublime emphasis upon the knowing powers, used in the light and along the line of God's revealed will. Mere training of the intellect is not enough. But an intellect, trained to do God's will, acting along the line of that holy will, and impelled to action by that most forceful moral dynamic, God's love, what a power for good it is ! To form such characters, is the aim of Christian education. The work of such a school as this one, in whose interest we are met to-night, goes on silently, almost unnoticed in a great city like New York ! How slight the attention it attracts ! How quiet its work when compared with the bustle and din of a noisy factory, or the hurrying throngs that press in and out of the busy centres of trade ! Yet we all know, in these days of eager competition, that even in trade the essential question is not of the numbers who enter the store, or admire the stock — is not even a question of the number of customers and of the volume of sales — but it is the question of the quarterly and yearly balance sheet that is vital. What is the outcome of all this display, and hurry, and toil.? On the whole, profit, or loss.'' — that is the question ! So, in reply to deeper and higher questions, we must answer, not length of days, not mere busy-ness, not popularity, not newspaper fame, not these — but actual acquirements in good- ness — the effective use of opportunities and the steady preference of the best thoughts and the highest aims — these it is that give to life its true value and significance. To train minds to this intelligent apprehension and achieve- ment of nobility of character is the highest work in which men are allowed to engage. When we ask ourselves, then, what satisfactions, in the use of time and property, are keenest and most lasting, we must say that none surpass the satisfaction found in giving time or money to the work of Christian education. In what material will you do your life-work } In that which perishes with the using and changes with the changing fashions ; or, in that which lasts for eternity, in soul, in character.? This church has done well to direct some of its giving along the line of educational work. Christian education works for eternity, on undying souls. Every dollar spent for Christian education is so given that it works at an immense leverage. It works on those who are to work on others. Its force continues to be felt through all time, and beyond time ; and it makes the best citizens by preparing them for a citizenship above and beyond this life. For our country's sake, as well as for the sake of our Divine Redeemer, this work of Christian education should go forward. OF THE SCHOOL. 257 In His Providence God has left one continent free — one quarter of the globe in which the education of the law-making, governing sovereign, the people — is in the people's own hands. Let us see to it that our Christian churches are loyal to their trust, and so far as it is in their power, that they hold this nation true to God and Christianity by the wise and generous use of all the educating forces and charities of a Christian people. ADDRESS OF Mr. SAMUEL G. JELLIFFE, Representative of the Alumni. On Monday next we celebrate the Centennial Anniversary of the PLvacuation of the City of New York — the visible sign, the ac- complished fact of American Liberty. And in the emotions of gladness that filled the hearts of the inhabitants, not the least, we may be sure, was the feeling that they were free not only from the grosser exactions of tyranny, but from that spirit which had trans- formed the church, reared by their ancestors to the ministry of holy things, into a riding-school for the exercise of cavalry. It is fitting that here and now we celebrate the anniversary of the founding of this venerable institution of learning, a visible sign of the idea which made that evacuation possible and logical. The intimate connection between education and freedom was early seen and acted upon. Sparta had her schools ; and Peri- cles, as a means of preserving and developing Athenian indepen- dence and supremacy, established a system of universal education broad and deep — such as jeflferson and the Fathers deemed essen- tial to the perpetuity and prosperity of our Republic. Discern- ing minds in all ages have seen that education is the very sap of the Tree of Liberty, whose flower is peace and whose fruit is blessedness. In the addresses delivered in this place five years since by the senior pastor, on the celebration of the founding of the Dutch Church in America, the particular causes and circumstances which made Holland at the period of the Reformation the lead- ing country in the world in many respects, i)articularly in that of education, were pointed out and, in a measure, dwelt upon, and the sublime origin of the University of Leyden was detailed. The revived study of the classics in the Universities and else- where, recalling the experience of Greece, the teachings of Solon, Socrates, Aristotle and Plato, impressed the mind with a sense of the importance of public education, if on no higher ground, on that of expediency. The very building of Holland, the keeping 258 TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY out the aggressive sea, was not the brilliant fiat of Pope or King or Emperor, but the result of the combined effort of the many individual units, each active and intelligent. Eternal, intelligent vigilance was the price not of liberty only, but of existence itself; thus the Common School system was established in Holland and her colonies. It is true that before the fifteenth century there had been schools established in connection with cathedrals, with the larger churches and with the convents, the instruction being under the charge of the Catholic clergy. All honor to the Church for these schools. Thankful are we this day because of them, for in these institutions was preserved and transmitted much that is important for the welfare of mankind. But these schools thus established, such schools even to this day, have a special distinctive character of their own from the nature of the Catholic polity, from its underlying and energizing idea. The instruction was and is directed more to manners, to discipline and method, in order that the select few might become able "to rise to the dignities of the Church, fitted out with eccle- siastical erudition and spiritual weapons," and to this point was all instruction directed, rather than to the enlargement of the powers of the mind or to the gain from the great ocean of the unknown, the firm and fertile ground of definitely ascertained and eternally verifiable fact. And it is a sufficient answer to the claims of that Church as an educator of mankind and as a promoter and protector of Schools, Colleges and Universi- ties, to point to the condition, intellectual and moral, of Europe at and just prior to the Reformation, as depicted by such good Catholics as Chaucer in England and Erasmus on the Continent. And to-day, wherever the claim of that Church to the exclusive education of the young is conceded, in Italy, in Spain, in Portu- gal, in Mexico, Cuba and South America, the crass ignorance of the people at large and the prevalence of superstition, even as to matters not connected with religion, proclaim the failure of that Church as a teacher of the ascertained and agreed-on truths of even the physical world. And in the moral world what city un- der Popish teaching in all history shows such practical fruits of Gospel Teaching, in the high probity of its merchants, the gen- eral intelligence and sobriety of the great mass of its mechanics and laborers, the clean, moral life of all but a small fraction of its population, the earnest life of its Churches, and, above all, the spirit of active benevolence which has earned the title of "The City of Charities," as this, our own, city, founded by the Dutch, growing with Dutch principles of toleration and hospitality, and educating its children under a system which, starting with our own as the first "Free Public School," the first Common School in America, has, during the last year, given instruction to nearly OF THE SCHOOL. 259 200, 000 children. Some may style these Godless Schools, but they have been the schools of this city for nearly a century, and if the influence of schools is to be judged from the character of the life which surrounds them, where in all history beside will you find such goodly or Godly results.' Side by side with the de- velopment of the Common School system of New York, was that of New England. Go back with me for a moment to that City of Leyden prior to 1620. The same spirit which moved the in- habitants of Leyden to choose a University rather than a fair, their practical application of the text How much better it is to get wisdom than gold, made them welcome alike the Pilgrims from Stamford and the Huguenots from Amiens and Abbeville, the Walloons from Avesnes and Artois. It is needless in this company to call atten- tion to the French origin of so many of what we call the early Dutch settlers. Near the University was the Walloon or French Church, and attached to this church was a school. Prominent among the members of this Church were the names of Jesse De Forest and John Montague. The former was a prominent man among the workers of wool ; the latter a physician and student at the University, and who ultimately married a daughter of De Forest. I mention these names because they were the ancestors of at least two of the early teachers of this our School, Jan Montagne, Jr., also a doctor, and Barent De Forest, and because the name of De Forest is identified with Yale College through a descendant of Jan De Forest. There is abundant evidence that the Walloons and the Huguenots, under De Forest and Montagne, and that the Pilgrims, under Brewster, Carver and the rest, made simul- taneous efforts to effect arrangements with the Virginia Com- pany, and also with the Dutch West India Company, whereby lands might be obtained in this New World for a settlement. Within sight of the University was the house of Pastor Robin- son, where gathered the Pilgrim Fathers "to receive the Word of Life, and to enjoy sweet and delightful society and spiritual com- fort together." Many of the Pilgrim band worked side by side with the carders and weavers and dyers who ultimately came to New Amsterdam. It is no mere imagining to see these founders of New England and New York together. To both, Holland was but a resting-place, a refuge from actual and anticipated persecu- tion, a workshop and a study. Thus working and worshiping together in Leyden, the Pil- grims and the Fathers of this Church and School exchanged the secrets of trade and the treasures of each others hearts. Both came to this country, the one to New England, the other to New Amsterdam. 26o TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY Their Common School systems developed side by side. In 1633 this our School was established, the first Common School in these colonies. In 1637 was the first effort at founding a Uni- versity or College in New England, and in 1647 ^^'^-S the first order for a Common School in New England. Thus the settlers of New Amsterdam were united with those of New England in Holland, the ideas of each acting and re-act- ing on the other. Both coming to the new country, both by the circumstances of the growth of a new country developing those traits of independence which had started them in their new career, both appreciating the necessity of schools, and wherever they went establishing churches for the study of the Word of God and schools for the study of the works of the Almighty, we cannot wonder that New York and New England should stand side by side at Monmouth, Saratoga and Yorktown, and that to- gether they should enter this redeemed and purified city. To break that union formed in Leyden and continued in America was the one consistent policy of Great Britain during the Revo- lutionary War. To keep that union intact is the best guarantee for the preservation of what is of most worth in our national life. I have thus spoken of our School to show you its relation to the Common School system of the country as its first type and example. May it be allowed a graduate of this School to say a few words, as to the work of the School, from personal experience, and to express hopes for its future which, I trust, will find echo in your hearts. I came into the School at the age of nine, having previously attended one of the schools of the Public School So- ciety, and remained there some four years. At the timej entered, the School was located in the basement of the Church in Ninth Street. Subsequently the School was removed to the building in Fourth Street, near Sixth Avenue, and in close proximity to Wash- ington Square — naturally our play-ground. How many delight- ful associations come to many here at the mention of that locality. In that locality was the bulk of the members of the Dutch Church. There were some of its strongest churches, where our parents at- tended, to the Sunday Schools of which we were attached. In that old American quarter most of us lived. The friendships formed there have been largely maintained in after years. Of the instruction there given I can only say that it was without severe labor and was a constant pleasure. Not only were all the studies there pursued that obtained in other schools, but others since added to the curriculum of the Common Schools — physiology, the elements of natural science, drawing, music, and for those who chose, Latin, French, algebra and geometry. What was en- joyed was not only the direct teaching of the subjects required, but the suggestive leading out into new fields of thought and new OF THE SCHOOL. 261 methods apart from those set out in our books of discussing prob- lems. In later years it has become my duty to examine into many of the so-called new methods in teaching under technical terms, "pedagogics," " object teaching, " " Quincey methods," and the like. Well, I found many good ideas, but I cannot now recall one single one of any value that had not already, prior to 1852, been put in successful practice by Mr. Dunshee in our School. I have mentioned his name, and I can never mention it but with feelings of deepest affection and respect. The Ministers and Trustees we respected and liked, but in Mr. Dunshee each one of us found and kept a friend whom we loved with deepest affection. I have seen many well-known noble teachers, but only of him can I say that each of his scholars has found in him a particular and personal friend. As to the practical results : The School is but a small one, never more than 200 attended at any one time ; most of us left by the time we were fifteen. But in its long his- tory the school has sent out earnest, thoughtful doers of work ; lawyers, physicians, clergymen, printers, merchants, mechanics of all kinds, who have done, I am sure, fully their part in 'keeping a clear stream of usefulness running through the currents of the life of our city and country. It may not be out of place to here mention two names — that of Daniel Ayres and General Henry T. Kiersted, both recently deceased. It would not be proper not to touch upon one subject, which is the one dearest to the hearts of most of you as connected with this School, I mean the subject of personal religion. That subject was not omitted, it was not obtruded, it was not made a matter of routine or cold formality, but at a fitting moment, privately, where heart could go out to heart, and in a tenderness which has given a meaning to the word saintly not otherwise derived, Mr. Dunshee would talk to us of those themes of tremendous import; of God ; of death ; of eternity ; of Christ ; never I know without making us realize the solemn sense of those words, never without causing noble resolves, and never without sending us on our knees in hum- ble, earnest prayer. That he has felt, that after all, his great work was to win the souls of his scholars to God ; that the sweet relations established here might be interrupted for a while, but never sundered ; this has borne him up amid all his trials and griefs ; has made him a welcome visitor in our homes at all times and kept him, as he seems to us, a model of earnest Christian manhood. Of those who were contemporary with me, or nearly so, the great majority have acknowledged Christ for their Saviour and exemplar ; three are earnest ministers in this or the cognate Presbyterian or Congregational Churches, and in all, even among those who have not realized his and your dearest hope, I trust you will find some measure of the "Fruit of the Spirit in all 262 TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY Righteousness, Goodness and Truth. " So much for the School of the past. It is, I know, permitted for me here to say a word as to its future. So far as I am known at all in this community, I am known as an earnest advocate of Common Schools, and of a purely secular education. Yet here to-night, without abating one jot or tittle of my convictions, that the teaching of all history is that ecclesiastical control and teaching is destructive alike of personal religion and intellectual vigor, yet I plead for this dis- tinctively denominational School. Its 250 years of past and useful history give it a right to persist. The original spring of our Common School system, it should not be choked up ; this testimony of the founders of this Church and State as to their large liberality of mind, their perception of the necessity of edu- cated intelligence to social, business and political welfare should be kept. It is here in the City of New York ; but the building is not where it should be ; its first home was alongside of the church ; so it was in the beginning ; so it was in Garden Street ; so it should be in the future. Even now it has an excellent class of children in attendance, notwithstanding it is in a neighborhood the least favorably situated for a school of almost any in the city, and the attendance is still representative of the city and the Church. I cannot believe that the oldest Church in this State will fail to maintain its School, while the youngest Church, the great bulk of whose members earn less than one-half of the amount earned by the poorest member of this congregation, not only adds on school to school, but purposes to establish here in New York a Univer- sity to find the parallel of which we are referred to a period so remote as to appear that of a fable. But the first step to develop your School is to bring it near where you worship, and not re- mote from where you live. One great work it should perform is in connection with your College. Rutgers College has, under the able presidency of the reverend gentleman who preceded me, taken a large step forward ; but from New York, as the home of the greatest number of members of the Dutch Church, must come a large share of its students. Let your School, therefore, be the Preparatory School for your College. Do not change its distinctive features. In the beginning it was a School for all — it was a Free School. Your Dutch ancestors never founded Church or University or School except free ones, and you alone, while the Public Schools of England have been wrested from their original purpose, and even the school of your neighbor, whose eloquent representative is to follow me, has not entirely escaped the clutch of what a clergyman of Dutch lineage has called the "dangerous classes;" you, alone, of all who have founded schools, have it to-day as it was in the beginning, free and open to all. So keep it. OF THE SCHOOL. 263 The last speaker of the evening- was the Rev. Dr. Sullivan H. Weston, of the Episcopal Church, who, speaking to those of the scholars and graduates of the School who might or had become teachers, told some amusing pedagogic experiences of his own, when, at the head of a school in Massachusetts, after leaving college, he reformed unruly boys, the terror of the school, into the most obedient scholars. His remarks were of an encour- aging nature to the teachers and Trustees, whom he con- gratulated on their success in imparting an education which combines the moral and spiritual with the intellectual, and in conclusion bade them God speed in their glorious work. The exercises closed with the Doxology, "Praise God from whom all Blessings Flow," and the Benediction, by Rev. Edward B. Coe, D.D. 264 UNVEILING OF A TABLET. RE-UNION OF THE GRADUATES AND UNVEILING OF A TABLET. In connection with the public exercises commemorative of the 250th Anniversary of the School, the Graduates held a re-union at the School-rooms on Thursday evening, December 13, 1883, and signalized the occasion by the unveiling of a Tablet, pre- sented by them to the Board of Trustees. The commodious chapel was crowded to its utmost capacity. Here were assembled from far and near — one even from Alaska — children and, in a few instances, children's children who had been educated under the auspices and by the liberality of the Mother Church. Among those present were : Rev. Talbot W. Chambers, D.D.; Revs. William Anderson, Henry Vehslage, William H. Storrs and John P. Krechting, Graduates of the School. Rev. G. H. Mandeville, D.l).; Rev. John L. See, D.D.; Rev. Abraham Thompson ; Rev. Isaac W. Brinkerhofif ; Messrs. Henry W. Bookstaver, Ralph N. Perlee, Robert Schell and Abraham V. W. Van Vechten, of the Board of Trustees ; Ex-Trustees Peter R. Warner and George S. Stitt ; Messrs. Charles A. Colby, John Graham and William C. Gififing, members of Con- sistory ; Samuel K. Sproulls, Ex-President of the Merchants' Exchange Banl<, and a Graduate of 1824 ; John H. Cliambers, Registrar of the Croton Aque- duct Department, and a Graduate of fifty years' standing ; Mr. William F. Van Wagenen, a descendant of Gerrit Van Wagenen, the Schoolmaster from 1733 to 1743, and many others. The memorial Tablet is of white marble, is seven feet long and four feet three inches high. It contains the Coat-of-Arms of William, Prince of Orange, on either side of which are the dates 1 633-1 883. The lower half of the Tablet contains the names of the mas- ters who have been at the head of the School since the date of its establishment. Above it, suspended from a festoon of smilax, was the number 250 in evergreen. When all were assembled the entire audience arose and testified their respect to the oldest living graduate of the School, Mrs. Sarah (Ayres) McFarran, who entered leaning on the arm of Mr. Dunshee, by whom she was escorted, amid applause, to the seat reserved for her upon the platform. The exercises were opened by Mr. Charles Ruston, President of the Alumni, who remarked that on an occasion such as this one would naturally expect the presiding officer to be one who UNVEILING OF A TABLET. 265 had made a nearer approach than he to the age of the institution itself. This commemoration, he said, brings once more to mind the incalculable influence exerted during 250 years by such a school as this in the formation of character, whether we look at the secular or the religious aspect of its work. We are here, however, we Graduates of the School, not so much to make or to hear speeches as to grasp one another by the hand and to greet our beloved teacher, Mr. Dunshee, who for forty-two years has been the Principal of the School, and who has won the warm regard of every pupil whom he has ever touched. And we desire to leave to-night on the schoolroom wall, as a slight testi- monial of our love for the School and our appreciation of its work, a tablet containing the names of the Masters since Adam Roelantsen took the School under his charge. ADDRESS OF REV. HENRY VEHSLAGE, On Presenting the Tablet. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen : Our gathering this evening brings to mind many various lines of thought. We can note the zeal and energy of the men and women who, with us, occupy the field to-day, enlisted in the great philanthropic movements which mark the age. But as we meet here, our attention is withdrawn a little while from the busy present — to think of men whose memories we cherish, and the fruits of whose labors we inherit and enjoy. The Alumni have had prepared a memorial tablet, in which appear the coat- of-arms of the Prince of Orange, and the names of the principals of our school from Adam (1633) down to the present time. No one in this audience will take exception to our admiration of him whose fame is inseparably joined with the history of that grand and protracted struggle of Protestant Holland with Papal Spain. With intense interest we read the story again and again, following the course of this young man, who, at an early age, became a page in the family of that Emperor who prided himself, above all other gifts, in the power of reading and of using men. So the Prince was brought up behind the curtain of that great stage where the world's dramas were daily enacted, and at the age of 21 was general-in-chief of the army on the French frontier, and acquitted himself in a manner which justified his appoint- ment. While in Philif)'s service he heard the unfolding of the plot for the massacre of all the Protestants in France and the Netherlands — because, as the French king protested, his con- science would never be easy, nor the State secure, until his realm S a 266 UNVEILING OF A TABLET. could be delivered from "that accursed vermin." Horror-struck and indignant at such a revelation, the Prince controlled himself — the King had no suspicion that he had thus warned the man who had been born to resist his infamous scheme — and though shuddering at the iniquity so proposed, he gave no intimation, by word or look, to the monarch, of the enormous blunder, and so gained the name of "William the Silent." But a grand purpose took possession of him. The unflagging devotion and self-denial which marked his whole course, made it seem only natural for him in 1568 to part with his precious jewels, his old vessels of silver and gold, his tapestries, and all that he valued most, to raise money for the national cause. No wonder that a medal was afterwards issued, having on one side his coat-of-arms, surrounded by the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, and on the other side a pelican, with her young, whom she is feeding with blood from her own breast — a favorite emblem of the Prince — often placed on his battle flags. But we cannot tarry on this history, stirring and captivating as it is — nor need I detain you to explain the various armorial bearings that appear in these shields and quarters. We turn away, to look upon the names of men whose achievements were not in the council-rooms of kings, nor on the field of battle. We trace the names on this honored list, and mark the terms of their service — we recall that early period when, with limited numbers and slight equipment, the early settlers planted the school as soon as they had established the Church, and we remember with mingled pride and joy the faithful labors of the men who did such good work in the noble profession of teacher — with special regard holding him to whom so many of us are indebted for wise counsel and help from the year 1842 down to the present time. And our grateful joy does not overlook the fact that the old church, for two centuries and a half, has never failed to care for this enterprise — providing for its ample maintenance, and that, as a return she has been permitted to welcome so many of the graduates into her own embrace, or to see them enter, as intelligent Christians, into the fellowship of other Evangelical churches. Most gratifying and encouraging has been the result of this generous and protracted outlay of love and wealth by the Church — and it amply justifies the perpetuation of this agency, which supplies a religious education, and so successfully, to those whom it provides with the other preparation needed for the active duties of life. If the number now in process of instruction seems small, it will be all the better, if thereby attention is directed to the need of giving the school a new and better location, free from the difficulties which do now deter many from attendance, who would gladly avail themselves of the privileges and advan- UNVEILING OF A TABLET. 267 tages of our school. And with this change of location might well come the consideration of the duty of making an adequate provision for the continuance of the school, which is in some minds a doubtful question. I am certainly justified in saying that this marble, which we present to the Board of Trustees, is in no sense to be considered as a mural tablet of the school, as if its work were finished, — as if in this exercise we were to speak of a past, but now exhausted efficiency, and at the same time fore- warn the Board that in a short time their occupation will be gone. N^o — instead of this we anticipate a career of larger use- fulness and power, by reason of what has already been so wisely and so cheerfully done by our Collegiate Church, and we venture the hope that in some way an endowment may be provided — by the liberality of an individual, or otherwise — looking to a com- plete equipment for the future need, placing the school so that it may be regarded as, and become an unfailing source of supply for our College and Theological Seminary. Permit me, in closing, to suggest that in this direction may be found a line of holy work to which the love of the Master may direct some servant of His who wishes to concentrate the wealth entrusted to him. So will he be brought into the choice fellow- ship of all those who, out of love for Christ, have been anxious to know how their service may be most effective. The gifts and labors of the many have contributed to the record of these 250 years, in which we rejoice. Of this result, many facts we can trace, and we are sure that where our vision fails, another eye discerns the deed and notes the motive. Happy are all they who, in any place, and to their best ability, seek to advance the cause of our blessed Lord. "A century since, in the North of England stood an old cathedral, upon one of the arches of which was a sculptured face of wondrous beauty. For a long while it was hidden, until one day the sun's light tlirough a slanted window revealed its match- less beauty. And ever after, year by year, on the days when, for a brief hour, it was thus illumined, crowds came and waited to catch a glimpse of that face. It had a strange history. When the cathedral was in process of construction, an old man, broken with the weight of years and care, came and besought the architect to let him work. Out of pity for his age, and yet fearful lest his failing sight and trembling touch might mar some part of the fair design, the master set him to work in the shadows of the vaulted roof Gladly he took his place, but one day they found the old man asleej) in death, the tools of his craft laid in order beside him, the cunning of his right hand gone, his face upturned to this other marvelous face — which he had wrought there — the face of one whom he had loved and lost in his early manhood. 200 UNVEILING OF A TABLET. And when the artists, and sculptors, and workmen from all parts of the cathedral came and looked upon that face, they all said : 'This is the grandest work of all — love wrought this.'" In the great cathedral of the ages which is being builded for an habitation of God, may we all be found co-working, and may the inspiration of our toil always be love — which gives grandeur and permanence to every work. Having touched the fastenings that held the flags of Holland and the United States, they fell apart and disclosed to view the Tablet, which the speaker, in behalf of the Alumni, formally presented to the Trustees of the School. Mr. henry W. BOOKSTAVER, THE Chairman of the Board of Trustees, in accepting the Tablet, replied as follows : RevercJid Sir, and Graduates of the Collegiate School : It is my pleasant duty on behalf of the Board of Trustees to accept the very appropriate memorial, your liberality and affection have induced you to present to the school. Sir, you have spoken of one whom every Dutchman reveres, and men everywhere respect and honor. You have alluded to the Emperor's power of reading and using men. It recalls one of the most pregnant events in the world's history. It recalls the 25th of October, 1555 — the splendid palace of the Dukes of Brabant, the assembled dignitaries of the German Empire and of Spain, and the abdication of Charles V. Of all that august assembly, the one the Emperor chose as the staff on which to lean, during that ceremony, was the man you have named — William, Prince of Orange — and during the re- mainder of his life he was the staff" and stay of his country, which never failed it. Great in every way, he was more than all else a religious man, and yet without cant, or ostentation of piety. No one ever heard him speak of a heavenly mission, or of being the in- strument of the Almighty ; but when the vindictive Granville and the crafty Philip put him under the ban, declaring his prop- erty forfeit to any who would take it, and offered a reward for his life, he could, with calm simplicity and trust, say : "I am in the hands of God ; my worldly goods and my life have long since been dedicated to his service. He will dispose of them as seems best for his glory and my salvation. " UNVEILING OF A TABLET. 269 His firmness was near akin to his piety, and he illustrated the motto his friends applied to him : Scevi's tranquillus m undis. His courage sprung from both, and while he knew what fear was, yet dared despise it for the cause of God and truth. Never was a warrior called on to battle single-handed and alone with greater odds ; yet Alva, Don John, and Alexander, the greatest generals of his time, failed to overcome him, and he managed to wrest perfect victory even from his defeats. As a statesman he has had few equals in any age, and was without a peer in his own. In the midst of war, internal con- fusion, and in the face of the most persistent and relentless monarch of his time, he founded upon the morasses of his native country an enduring government, which continues to this day. In an age when eloquence was rare he was master of Thoughts that breathe and words that burn, yet his eloquence was not that of smooth, flowing sentences and flattering compliment so common in his age, but, he used it as an instrument of earnest endeavor, and it was always direct, truthful, and convincing, carrying all before it. His "Apology" in answer to the king's "ban" should be in the hands of every student of eloquence. Who can forget its conclusion, addressed to his countrymen.' "If then, my masters, you judge that my absence or my death can serve you, behold me ready to obey. Command me — send me to the ends of the earth, I will obey. Here is my head, over which no prince, no monarch, has power but yourselves. Dispose of it for your good and for the preserva- tion of the Republic." On such a theme one delights to linger, but I wander from the matter in hand. This tablet — whose are the names engraved on it .f" Why should they be thought by you worthy of such honor } All, indeed, were inspired with the same religious faith which animated William the Silent, and they all acknowledged the same Master, but they were neither statesmen, nor warriors, nor orators. Their exploits are not recorded in history; their biographies are unwritten ; the world has not crowned them with laurel ; and yet they are worthy of all and more than you have done for them. The social fabric is so fitly framed together, that no member can be taken from it without causing a shock to every part. Its order and stability depend on each member and on all. Smiling infancy and hoary age, are alike necessary to its completeness. Each acts on and is acted upon by all. And in this sense is the saying, that "none of us liveth to himself and none dieth to him- self," profoundly true. As in the enduring temple there are tlie foundations, and the walls, base and column, and capital, architrave and frieze, peri- 270 UNVEILING OF A TABLET. tyle and adytum, places holy and common, things of necessity and use, and things of ornament and beauty, so in the social fabric, all parts are not equally important or useful. But by whatever standard we judge the relative importance and useful- ness of men's labor, the office and work of the teacher must ever hold a foremost rank, as it has ever held among thinking and far- sighted men. Hear what Marcus Aurelius says he owed to his teachers and learned from them : From my grandfather, Verus, I learned good morals and the government of my temper. From the reputation and remembrance of my father, modesty and a manly character. From my mother, piety and beneficence, and abstinence ; not from evil deeds only, but even from evil thoughts. * * * From my governor, non-partizanship, endurance of labor, to want little, to work with my own hands, and not to meddle with other people's affairs, and not to be ready to listen to slander. From Diognetus, not to busy myself about trifling things. * * * From Rusticus, I received the impression that my character required improvement and discipline. * * * From Apollonius, I learned freedom of will and undeviating steadiness of purpose and uniformity of temper under all adversity. From Sextus, a benevolent disposition, the example of a family governed in a fatherly manner, and the idea of living conformalaly to nature. * * * From Alexander, the grammarian, to refrain from fault-finding. * * • From Fronto, I learned to observe what envy and duplicity, and hypocrisy are in a tyrant. * * » From Alexander, the Platonic, * * not continually to excuse neglect of duty * * by alleging urgent occupations. From Catulus, not to be indifferent when a friend finds fault, even if he should find fault without reason. * * * From my brother Severus, to love my kin, and to love truth, and to love justice. * * * From Maximus, I learned self-government and not to be led aside by anything. * * • All this and much more, he says, he learned from his teach- ers, and all these things it is necessary the teacher should teach. How great and manifold are his duties, and how many-sided and composite a creature is man. And then consider that to the teacher is committed the race when the mind is plastic and easily influenced, and that it passes from his care with a direction and bent which will determine all its after development ; " Even the light of the eternal world will take a tint from the colors with which the teacher shall tinge the windows of the soul." Con- sider also, that this influence does not end with the scholar so taught, but that each mind so trained and bent, becomes a new centre of force and influence, shaping the destinies of others who shall again impress the minds of generations yet unborn, and you will appreciate something of the importance and dignity of the teachers' office. If the magnitude of the work, the good accomplished, and the far-reaching power and permanence of the UNVEILING OF A TABLET. 27 1 result is to be the standard of honor, then, Graduates of the Col- legiate School, you have done well in erecting this monument to your teacher and those who have preceded him as schoolmas- ters here. Although their lives are unwritten and unsung, they still live in the minds of the thousands they have taught and their influence shall never die. In the words of Pericles, we may say of them, "signalized not alone by the inscription on the monu- ment in their native land, but in lands not their own, by the memory which remains of the spirit even more than the deed." The Church of Holland — the Church under the Cross — has ever been the friend of learning, and sought to make it the hand- maid of religion. At the close of the long struggle for independ- ence, Holland lead the whole of Europe, not in navigation only, but in her knowledge and application of all the natural sciences and the arts that civilize and uplift mankind. Where- ever she planted her colonies she sent not only her ministers but her schoolmasters. "The Church under the Cross," so bitterly tormented that she could not hold her first Synods within the borders of Hol- land, but was compelled to go to Wessels and Embden for safety, even then, a nid the fires of persecution, took thought for the Christian education of the young ; and when better days came the famous Synod of Dort, in 1618, enacted that schools should be instituted "not only in cities, but also in towns and country places where heretofore none have existed" * * * "and especially that the children of the poor should be gratuitously instructed, and not be excluded from the benefit of the schools." This we believe to have been the first provision for free schools for the poor. It was in this spirit and under this Church that this school, your school, was founded, the oldest in America. 1633-18S3 — then and now. What a contrast these two dates present. How one is tempted to compare the trading post in the wilderness and its handful of sturdy self-reliant Dutchmen with the metropolis of a continent and its million inhabitants. How much this school has done to promote that wondrous growth none can tell, but of this I am sure, its influence for good has been mighty. Its graduates have gone forth to illustrate and sustain all that is good and noble in our fair city. All but one of the men whose names you have engraved on this tablet, having moulded and bent the generations under their care, have finished their labors and gone to their reward. Yet their work lives after them and shall not die. One alone of all that list is with us to-night. For more than forty years has he been schoolmaster here. His work has been a labor of love, love for his scholars and the school. Surely in this audience, so largely composed of his former pupils, there 272 UNVEILING OF A TABLET, can be no need of calling attention to his virtues. All of you know and love Henry Webb Dunshee. You know his worth. You are the best witnesses of his ability as a teacher, his patient care, his unobtrusive but sincere piet}'. How many of you have been led to the service of the blessed Saviour by his precept and example, and in the time to come you will be the crown of his rejoicing. It is with a lively sense of the worth of the men you have thus commemorated, and whose names you thus propose to hand down to posterity, that I, in behalf of the Board of Trustees and the Consistory of the Collegiate Church, accept this tablet, not only as a memorial of them, but also as a testimonial of your affection for them and the school. Sir, you have referred to this marble as a mural tablet ; it certainly is that, but it is neither given nor accepted as in any sense a mortuary tablet. I do not know why any should consider the continuance of this school a doubtful question. To-day, more than ever before, is there need for just such schools as this. It is claimed by unbelievers that the Church is afraid of science, but the charge is unfounded, and the entire history of our Church re- futes the assertion. Even if time permitted it would be un- necessary to review that history here ; you all remember the heroic defence of Leyden, and the founding of its illustrious University as a reward for its heroism. But there are men of science who seem to be afraid of religion and claim there is an irreconcilable conflict between the two, and in the name of science attack the Church. As long as these attacks continue must these schools be maintained, to teach the great truth that all of Gods laws are in harmony, and to point out the way by which we can be restored to that harmony with God and his laws which has been lost through transgression, by showing us how great our sins and miseries are, how we may be delivered from our sins and miseries and the gratitude we owe to God for such deliverance. We therefore hope and trust with you that a more convenient location may be found for it, and that it may be greatly increased in usefulness and power. To this end we would gladly welcome any endowment that God may move any of His servants to make for the better equipment of the School. But, in the meantime, you, the graduates of the school, may do much for it by showing in your daily walk and conversation the value of the instruction here given, and by unwavering loyalty to your Alma Mater. Let us determine to do all we can for it, and let each one of us, in our attitude toward the school, adopt the motto of William of Orange, Je Maintiendrai, and it will be maintained. UNVEILING OF A TABLET. 273 ADDRESS OF REV. TALBOT W. CHAMBERS, D.D. Dr. Chambers began his remarks with a playful story once told him by a relative who attended a meeting of Friends in Chester County, Pa., where he saw a man arise in the gallery, and make the following speech : "Friends, when I left home this morning it was impressed on my mind that I must say some- thing at the meeting. When I reached this house it was im- pressed upon me that I must say something at the meeting. When I sat down in the gallery, here, it was impressed upon me that I must say something at the meeting. And now, since I have gotten up and said something at the meeting, I'll just sit down." Dr. Chambers said that he felt very much like imitating this gentleman and taking his seat forthwith, since, considering what had been said and what was yet to come, there was no need of further utterances to do justice to the occasion. Yet there was one point which of late had so pressed itself upon his mind that he could not refrain from bringing it before the assembly. This was teaching, as a profession. In a country where so much is continually said in the public press, and on the platform, and in legislative halls about the value of education and the necessity of free schools, as if no topic in the world were more sure to secure popular favor, it strikes me as very strange that the office of the teacher is so lightly esteemed. People at large show this in various ways. They look upon the occupation not as belong- ing to the liberal professions but as that of a mere hireling, and they pay accordingly. The wages of even accomplished in- structors are less than those of skilled handicraftsmen. The chief cook of a first-class hotel gets a larger salary than the president of any one of our colleges. Such, too, is the tone of society. Ask an acquaintance about persons whom you may meet, and the answer is, "Oh, it is only a school-teacher," or " She, why she is nothing but a school-marm." And this is said of those who do not deal in silks or satins, in gold or jewels, in products of art or taste, but have to do with immortal minds in the plastic period of their lives, and therefore e.xert an influ- ence for good or for ill to continue long after the sun and moon have ceased to be ! Alas for the grievous misreckoning of popular opinion. But teachers themselves have some share of the blame for it. So many of them all over our land look upon the vocation as one in itself by no means dignified or desirable, T 2 74 UNVEILING OF A TABLET. but only to be adopted as a stepping-stone. Young men temporarily at a loss for employment fall back upon school- keeping until something better turns up, meanwhile chafing at their hard lot. Young women enter the ranks of the profession with the determination to remain only till a husband makes his appearance over the horizon. In thousands upon thousands of instances teaching is a mere makeshift, taken up for lack of any opening elsewhere, and to be dropped at the first convenient opportunity. Is it any wonder that the public takes teachers at their own estimation, and regards them accordingly.? In other countries it is not so. There the teacher is a recognized and permanent part of the social organization. There is correspond- ing respect and remuneration, and both the holders of the office and others look upon it, not as a temporary substitute for some- thing else, but as a fitting and important life-work. In Germany a university is not deemed complete in its equip- ment unless it has a department of Pedagogics — one devoted to the theory and practice of the art of giving instruction and train- ing minds. And something of this kind is greatly needed here. We shall never, in this country, reach the right position of things until we reverse current notions, lift up the profession, magnify its importance, increase its emolument, and give the world to understand that he who fills this function faithfully is doing a work that ranks second only to that of the minister of God. Such a work ought to command a price that bears some proportion not only to its delicacy and difficulty, but to its immeasurable importance in shaping the destiny not only of individuals here and there, but of the whole community ; nay, the nation itself These men whose names are inscribed on this monumental stone — here the speaker pointed to the tablet — contributed largely to the formation of that character which carried us safely through the perils of the Revolution and through the far greater perils of later days. In the Old Testament the figure of the Church was the magnificent candelabrum of beaten gold in the temple ; and in the vision of John the divine, the Lord revealed Himself as one who held the seven stars in His right hand and walked among the seven golden candlesticks. It is light which is connected with the civilization that springs from the religion of the One God, and of no other religion that ever arose in the earth is this true. Is, then, a profession which typifies the spirit of Christianity to be any longer considered a mere stepping-stone.' The names on that tablet ought to excite a thrill of surprise, admiration and gratitude for the past and of purpose for the future, a determination to lift up this honored profession, to put it where it ought to be, to establish its status, to raise the school to such a position that it shall be felt to be an UNVEILING OF A TABLET. 275 honor to have come under its care or to have been connected with its history. Let the whole country understand that we, at least, recognize that those who do the work of this school do it as benefactors of the race and as servants of the living God. The last speaker of the evening was Mr. Dunshee, who cor- dially welcomed the graduates and friends of the School. He reviewed, briefly, the history of the School from its commence- ment, and with deep emotion expressed his gratitude to God that he had been called to be a schoolmaster, and that he had been spared to meet and to greet so many of his former scholars, some of whose children, also, had been taught by him, and who were now occupying positions of trust and honor in the Church and in the world. Letters of regret were received from the Sandwich Islands, Europe, and from the far West and South, where the scholars are to be found. Two of these letters from pupils who graduated in the early part of this century were read. One closed with the remark that the only relic of his school- days which still remained to him was his Bible (presented to him when he graduated), which had been as a beacon to him all his life, and Judge Thomas H. Locke, of Yates Co., described the quaint little post-office of that day, and told how when the city was threatened by the British in the war of 1812, the boys of the School, and he among them, went over to Gowanus to assist in throwing up earthworks. The following hymn, written for the occasion by the Principal, was sung by the entire audience, to the tune of " Creation : " GOD of our fathers, Thee we praise That Thou, to them, did'st give the grace To open for their rising youth This Fountain of Eternal Truth From whence the streams of knowledge flow, Two cent'ries and a half ago. Their sons and daughters here could drink Refreshing waters from its brink. To fit them to be useful here And happy in the Heavenly sphere, Through Him, whom it is Life to know : Two cent'ries and a half ago. 276 UNVEILING OF A TABLET, Down through the ages here they've come And near this Fountain found a home, Received the blessings it imparts To form their minds— renew their hearts, From streams which here began to flow Two cent'ries and a half ago. And may the Mother Church still hand This Fountain from the Fatherland Down through the coming ages, free, A source of Light and Purity, To many a heart and many a home For many centuries to come. A Poem, entitled "Retrospect," written by Mrs. Mary (Latschar) Lutz, a graduate of 1852, was read by Mr. Charles Ruston, President of the Alumni Association. The remainder of the evening was spent in greetings among old schoolmates around the Tablet and in relating pleasant reminiscences of their school-life around their photographs, which are suspended on the walls of the Chapel and in the supper room below. COAT-OF-ARMS OF JOHN HARPENDING. DESCRIPTION OF THE COAT-OF-ARMS ON TABLET. 278 DESCRIPTION OF THE COAT-OF-ARMS. The three shields constitute the Coat-of-Arms of William the Silent, Prince of Orange, under whom the Netherlands achieved her civil and religious independence. The Princes of Orange were also Counts or I>ords of the other Principalities represented. The first quarter of the large shield bears the arms of Nassau. It has a lion rampant, on a red field surrounded by seventeen dots, indicating the union of the ten States of the Netherlands, with the seven States of Holland, under William. The second quarter represents Katzeneln- bogen, and has a crowned lion, red on a golden field. In his right paw is an elevated sword, ready for defence, and the left holds seven arrows, denoting the union of the seven States. The third quarter represents Vianden, and has two running lions on a blue field. The fourth quarter, blue banded with gold, is the shield of Dietz. The first and third quarters of the sfnaller shield, bearing diagonal bands of gold, represent the Principalities of Chalons. The second and fourth quarters, with a horn or bugle suspended on an orange field, that of Orange. These martial horns symbolize the courageous leadership of those who took up arms against the Moors and Saracens. The sitiallest shield is that of Geneva, the city of John Calvin. It bears the Helvetic cross, and was added by William to his Coat-of-Arms in token of his Protestant faith, and his adherence to the principles of the great Reformer. The crown which surmounts the shield represents the Emperor, Charles the Great, who, while Sovereign of the Netherlands, granted them the right of carrying the imperial crown above the Coat-of-Arms. The motto, Nisi Dominus Frustra (Psalm cxxvii, i), " Without the Lord all is vain," fitly expresses the deep religious convictions of the Dutch and their sincere trust in God while struggling for a home and a Church. The legend in Dutch, Een-dracht maakt macht, signifies" Union makes Strength," and was the rallying cry in times of despondency. EXPLANATORY Montague taught in a branch school, established by the Deacons, in the City Tavern — 1652— probably until the Capitulation, 1664 [vide page 24). Hoboocken was transferred in 1661 to a branch school organized on the Governor's Bouwery {vide page 29), and was superseded by Keteltas in the main school, near the Fort. De La Noy and Van Dalsem taught in a branch school in Cortlandt Street {vide page 46) from 1743 to 1757. 1705. The Deacons' Minutes during the period from 1687 to 1726 cannot be found. They would undoubtedly furnish the required name. The nomination of a Schoolmaster, by the Deacons, in the orditiary way, and the action of the Great Consistory, in connection therewith, in 1705, show that the school was in operation at that date.
