The Complexities Found, as Well as Insights Gained, From the Identification of a Birthplace of Free Public Education: The Case of Rehoboth, Massachusetts By Kelly Ann Kolodny The debate over when and where free public education began in the United States continues to demand attention. Understandably, this is a complicated debate that entails reflection on what free public education means, consideration of how one could identify the birth of this activity, and difference of opinions regarding who should be credited for this large, powerful and conflicted undertaking. In the midst of this deliberation, rest communities which claim to hold the credit to be the birthplace of free public education, one of which is the small agricultural town of Rehoboth, Massachusetts. Though such community claims often are dismissed as celebratory in nature, there are important reasons to warrant their consideration.

  • NOTE: the Following Is a Reprint of the Brown Genealogy of 1851, Upon Which the Chad Brown Memorial Is Based, and to Which Reference Has Been Made in the Preface
    GENEALOGY. (NOTE: The following is a reprint of the Brown genealogy of 1851, upon which the Chad Brown Memorial is based, and to which reference has been made in the preface. It furnishes an interesting example of the earlier genealogical work, and, though familiar to some of the older members of the family, is unknown outside of a very limited circle. A few trifling errors have been corrected, but with this exception the pamphlet is printed as originally written. The researches of the past few years have brought to light many forgotten facts, and supplied information which was inaccessible to the preceding generation. This will account for apparent discrepancies between the Brown genealogy and the Chad Brown Memorial. ) (all dates mentioned here previous to 1752 are in Old Style, to which 11 days should be added in order to agree with the New Style. ) The name of Brown, so numerous everywhere, was duly represented among the first settlers of Providence. Out of one hundred and one original proprietors, there were four of the name, Chad, John, Daniel and Henry Brown. Of these, we have of John and Daniel no account; they may, perhaps, have been related to Chad, their names being the same as those of two of his sons, but it is certain that Henry Brown was of a different family. He was the ancestor of the Browns who formerly lived on Providence Neck, so-called, including Richard Brown, who died in 1812, aged 100 years and 12 days, and others. The spelling of the name, it may be remarked, has like many others been varied.

  • Baptists and Religious Liberty
    BAPTISTS AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY BAPTISTS AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY GEORGE W. TRUETT An address delivered from the East Steps of the National Capitol at Washington, D.C., on Sunday, May 16, 1920, in connection with the Annual Session of the Southern Baptist Convention, and at the request of the Baptist Churches of Washington. FOREWORD This address was arranged for weeks before the Southern Baptist Convention met in Washington. Washington City Baptists are di- rectly responsible for it. The speaker, Dr. George W. Truett, pastor First Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas, was chosen by a representative group of Baptists to deliver the address. It was delivered to a vast audience of from ten to fifteen thousand people from the east steps of the National Capitol, three o’clock Sunday afternoon, May 16, 1920. It was not a Convention session, though the Convention was largely represented in the audience by its members. Since Paul spoke before Nero, no Baptist speaker ever pleaded the cause of truth in surroundings so dignified, impressive and inspiring. The shadow of the Capitol of the greatest and freest na- tion on earth, largely made so by the infiltration of Baptist ideas through the masses, fell on the vast assembly, composed of Cabinet members, Senators and members of the Lower House, Foreign Ambassadors, intellectuals in all callings, with peoples of every religious order and of all classes. 79 RENEWING MINDS The subject was fit for the place, the occasion and the assembly. The speaker had prepared his message. In a voice clear and far-reaching he carried his audience through the very heart of his theme.

    THE MINISTRY OF DR. JOHN CLARKE BY REV. WILBUR NELSON 9999 999 Published by the author 26 Spring Street Newport, Rhode Island August, 1927 Foreword Three years ago there was published a book- let similar to this one, entitled "THE LIFE OF DR. JOHN CLARKE", in connection with the project of the Men's Baraca Bible Class of the First Baptist John Clarke Memorial Church to improve the John Clarke Burial Ground. This booklet includes most of the contents of the previous one and, in addition, a discussion of the date of origin of the First Baptist John Clarke Memorial Church and a review of its early history. The title, "THE MINISTRY OF DR. JOHN CLARKE ", seems broad enough to cover the entire work of this servant of humanity, who ministered to his fellow men in his public service as well as in his labors as a physician and a clergyman. The author has read widely on the subject and does not think it necessary to name all of his sources of information. Certain writers, however, are referred to in the context, and the writers named have been principally followed in the A SUPPOSED PORTRAIT OF DR. JOHN CLARKE gathering of material. Copied from a painting Numerous inquiries for information on the sub- in the Redwood Library ject, some of them coming from distant places, encourage the author to hope that this booklet may in a measure meet a real demand. The Ministry of Dr. John Clarke OCATED on West Broadway, near the cor- ner of Callender Avenue, in Newport, Rhode Island, is a plot of land measuring about fifty by one hundred feet.
