WHISPERINGS. 
How many of our Manchester read- 
ers attended school at the West school 
in 1841? Not many I know, for of 
the 58 scholars who went to school in 
the Newport district when the late J. 
A. Gould taught there in 1841-42 only 
ten remain, and not all of these now 
live in Manchester. They are: John 
L. Story of Beverly, Wm. T. Leach of 
Boston, George W. Goodrich of Read- 
ing, Mary H. (Leach) Russell, Mrs. 
Rebecca F. (May) Marshall, Mrs. 
Susan C. (Leach) Rust, Charlotte 
E. Leach, Mrs. Deborah C. (Good- 
rich) Crafts, Mrs. Sarah A. (Story) 
Porter of Manchester, and Mrs. Me- 
hitable (Story) Edgar of Washington. 
I cull these facts from a list of schol- 
ars written by the late Mr. Gould. 
There were on the school committee 
that year Dr. Asa Story, Rev. O. A. 
Taylor and Stephen Story.

It will also be of interest to note in 
this connection, that in 1848, when the 
High schoo] was established, the sala- 
ry which went with the position of 
principal was $37.50 per month, for 
eight months’ teaching. Mr. Geo. F. 
Allen gives us the following list of the 
text books used at that time: The 
Bible, Russell’s American Reader and 
the Introduction to the same, Towne’s 
Plan to come the first 
Speller and Definer, Smith’s large 
Geography, Weld’s Grammar, Green- 
leaf’s Arithmetic and Introduction to 
the same,Colburn’s mental arithmetic, 
Bailey’s Algebra, Parker’s Philosophy, 
Parker’s Exercises in Composition, 
Cutter’s Physiology, Goodrich’s His- 
tory, Fowler’s Outline of the Globe, 
Webster’s and Worcester’s Dictiona- 
ries,

Will you give me space in your 
paper to say to parents who have chil- 
dren enrolled in the first and second 
grades of the George A. Priest school 
that we are giving the entire attention 
of three teachers to each grade during 
its one session, and we believe that 
the little people will suffer no loss in 
drill on all essential subjects of the 
course. We regret that any incon- 
venience is caused in the homes, but 
if the parents will be patient for a 
few weeks longer all will be well. We 
have the assurance that our new 
building will be ready for occupancy 
when the spring term opens.
