Isaac IOH who died in 1776 left a legacy, “the annual interest of which was to be applied to the maintenance of a Latin or grammar school in the new brick school in Plainfield,” and in 1778 a_classical department was or- ganized. Plainfield academy was among the first institutions of the kind in New England. In 1825 the site for the present stone building was given by Mrs. Lydia Farlan and other public spirited residents 'subscribed funds for the erection of the stone building.

There were several noted and extremely interésting speakers who upheld the credit of the association and reflected glory upon the old academy. Hon. H. H. Jenks Speaks. The first speaker was Hon. H. Hart- well Jenks of Cumberland, R. I, for- mer U. S. consul to Buenos Ayres, who is probably the oldest living grad- uate of Plainfield academy,” being eighty last May—and also a teacher there fifty years'ago.

He had had part in great movements and large things intellec- tually, religiousely and socially—a review of which made by him in a re- cent speech at Portland, Ore., surpris- ed himself, But the projectlle of it {all was the Plainfield dcademy. In return he would recover, beautify’ and old bundlng would pre- adorn, the serve it as a memorial. the message of his visit here. Favors Little Red Schoolhouses. Lawyer George H.

New England. In 1779 George Wash- i ington 'knew of Plainfield academy, which was the greatest .one in ‘Con- éeticut. Hon.

[These peo- ple from all nations must be taught patriotismn, and on€ of the best ways to do it Is to keep the flag flying over the schoolhouse. America is the school of the whole world. The improvements of the past thirty years "have done much to unify the nation—north, south, east and west are one, with the stars and stripes above them all. Through all is a rivalry for education.

Fuller spoke of the material changes in the town of Plain- field, of new and wonderful machinery and methods and products, but nothing when compared to the products of the old stone factory on the hill ‘which turned out men as its product. B counts ~ in . character g and what an inspiring -atmo- sphere in“old Plainfield! The instruc- tors, too, didtheir best with the ma- terial at hand and he paid high tribute to their noble lives and the high ideals they set before their pupils. Other Speakers. Rev. Michael Toomey of Portland, Me., though not a graduate, said that he felt like the Irishman who said when asked what he’d be if he wasn't an Irishman, that he'd be @shamed of himself. He ought to have graduated | from Plainfield. . However, if Plainfield academy had produced none other than Dr. Spalding it would have done fts work. He was the one man above the others at the meeting in Portland. In former days boys went to the academy with a purpos What they learned was only an ‘aid to the art of living and to fit them for a place in life. ‘\/lrb Elizabeth Wheeler of Brooklyn, N. Y., spoke from the teacher's stand- point.. Of the scholars of 25 years ago three have won high distinctions, many have outstripped: their teachers and these are proud of them all. She gdve several entertaining reminiscences of those days. She spoke of new problems in education and the need of con- servating energy and of giving train- ing suited to individual needs. . Restore idealism and graciousness and the dig- nity of work. William P. Cross of theU nited States courts, Providence, R. 1., wished he had the key to the garden of rhetoric but thought the gift might be superfluous on this occaMsion. He wished the re- unions, were held oftener, but as the vears fetween did not count with him —there were compensations. _This oc- casion reminded him ,of Longfellow's poem beginning O gift of God! O per- fect day! Miss Mary Gay Robinson and Win- slow B. Gallup were called upon. for short speeches. and letters of regret from fifteen other distinguished alum- ni were read by the secretary. Arnold of Norwich, formerly of ~Plainfield, spoke a few words of appreciation of the value of the occasiony and eternal life of these i years.
