    CITY OF NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK, AS SEEN FROM THE AIR IN 1938. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE By HERBERT B. NICHOLS Published Bv, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION NEW ROCHELLE/ NEW YORK 1938 COPYRIGHT 1938 BY HERBERT B. NICHOLS FIRST EDITION PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE LITTLE PRINT, NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE FOREWORD To the publication ~f a little booklet designed for classroom use throughout the public schools of New Rochelle treating of sig­ nificant events in the historic development of the city, impetus was given early this year by the observance of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the fou~ding of the "Queen City of the Sound". Preparation at th~t tiine for a pageant revealed that only isolated bits of historic materials were available and that nowhere I was there in print, suitable for school use, a concise and orderly treatment of the circumstances and conditions that led, first, to the selection of a site for refuge for. the fleeing French Huguenots and, later, to its settlement and dev,elopnient. To meet the deficiency, a committee was entrusted with the responsibility of assembling, preparing and editing all known information. How well that job was done "Historic New Rochelle" reveals. Not a booklet, but a full-sized text, scholarly, well organized, care­ fully and authentically documented, and yet, withal, attractively written, interestingly and entertainingly presented, is here given the girls and boys, their parents, the teaching staff, and others who may be interested. In the pages and chapters which follow, environ­ ment becomes a living reality and the reader is privileged to follow, from t}:le beginning to the present, the colorful and intricate threads that make up the historic and fascinating tapestry of New Rochelle.

We refer to the new child protection law that came into effect in the Amiddle of June this year. The reason its impact will be fully clear only from end August is that all community members have been made responsible for the welfare of children, and the role of educators in child abuse prevention is thought to be particularly important. Children spend a large part of their day at school, and teachers are in the best position to read signs of trauma caused by abuse. Parents, too, have been made legally accountable for harm caused to their children through lack of supervision, severe corporal punishment, or blatant violation of traffic safety rules. The spread of Another aspect of child safety has been explored in a report that looks at the impact of divorce on young minds. Parents who are separating need to put their children first and find rumours in the ways to help them cope up thoughout the separation process, so that they don’t grow up to be troubled adults. This is an important aspect of social security.

Employment and Appointments Gardiner Assistant Professor of History at Iona College and Institute for Thomas Paine Studies New Rochelle, NY July 2017-present • In this role, I instruct courses on the history of America and the British and French empires in the long eighteenth century, specifically the late colonial and early national periods, and focus on public-facing as well as scholarly initiatives – conferences, seminars, archival fellowships, exhibits and curatorial programs, student opportunities, donor relationships, community partnerships and collaborations, workshops, blogs, social media and other digital projects – inspired by Thomas Paine and his world of politics and media. Director, Institute for Thomas Paine Studies at Iona College New Rochelle, NY July 2018 – present • In this role, I oversee all aspects of the Institute for Thomas Paine Studies (ITPS), from its academic initiatives, research directions, administrative logistics, and goals for future development.
