This was the Hartford Grammar school, which has been called “The Rughy of Connecticut.” The conduct and life of this famous institution is re- lat>d for the period of 1798 to 1840, Tollowing this comes the story of the spirited “school battle” which had to be fought out in the Hartford fown and school soclety meetings from 1540 to 1847, before the Hart- ford public high school could be established. Among the topics and phrases which filled the air during the course of this heated contest were: “Vested rights,” ‘steady hablts in the good old ways.” “no taxation for other people's children,” “Jet well enough alone, enough for the father was good enough for the son,” “none of your high schools for me.” In the end the friends of education triumphed and the Hartford high school, opencd De- what was good | | having control of the Tsinan-Tring- tao railread.
