Principal Foote. introduced Mr.
Blanchard. after the singing with a
few well-chosen remarks, suitable to
the occasion. Mr. Blanchard for an
hour" and a half, held inoclosost atten-
tion ofhls hearers. in the first of his
remarks he told of the schools of forty-
fivc years ago. and contrasted them
with those of today. He spoke of how
much bcttor the schools of today were
equipped than they were forty-five
yours ago. He said that now they worn.
in perfect order. and described how
much better the appointments wore. It
did not depend so much from a schol~
urls standpoint. whether there was a
nice building or not. or what the sur-
roundings were. but it depended whol-
ly on tho scholar himself. "The sur-
roundings, equipments and environ-
ments are much better than they were
many years ago." said the speaker.
“What makes a scholar? it is not the
building, but the teachers. it lather
who tench the scholars to becomo good
citizcnss, and it is the aim of the schol-
ars today to be good citizens when tlrcy
grow.up." Here the speaker touched
upon many thlmrs concerning tho wol~
fare of tho schools in gcncrul in The
Norwalks. and olosod his remarks by
tolling the scholars to press onward.

The block house which sheltered the

houses were built. stood in the roarof
ll. M. l’rowitt's residence. Near by. in
1659. the first. meeting house was built
by Walter Halts and Ralph Kceler, and
covered with “2.000 good and sufficient
shingles." furnished by Matthew Mar-
vin. Tho meeting house was used for
town meetings as well as religious ser—
vices: and. in front oi‘ it was a com-
mon. which was used on training days
for a parade ground. Across the com-

were not ignorant men nor ndvoutur-

to unirlod regions were not to escape
from the restraints of law. but to make
bomcs for themselves under laws which

set thcmsclvos was too engrossing to
allow them to spend timc and money
upon perpetuating the traditions of
their lineage. it remains for the dc—
sccudants of this generation to connect'
the families of America with the Eng—
lish stock; and, in most cases of those
who can claim their ancestry among
the planters of the New England colo-
nies. it. is possible to trace. the family
history in English resorts. The lack
of monuments to mark the graves of
even the eminent men of those limos is
explained by the scarcityyof suitable
stone and the luck of the stone cuitcr‘s
skill. The Connecticut colonists were

mill. Goodman Marsh established the
first grist mill at the foot bf Mill Hill
in 1657. Goodman Marsh was instruct—
ed by the town meeting to be ready to
grind the townsmen's corn on the 2nd.
4th and 6th days of the week. In 1664
Henry Whitney was permitted to erect
“a good and sufficient ground cornc
mill at the Point of Rocks on the Nor-
waik rlyer below the falls." His home
lot was laid out “on the mill plain on
the right hand of the patch leading
down to the old mill," The Point of
Rocks, Mr. Sclieck tells us._ls now a
part of the. foundation of the Norwa’lk
bridge and, the mill and Whitney’s
housc were the first buildings in the
future city of Norwalk. In 1680 the
growing community required a bridge
and the town committee chose i.
plot-c “below the falls" by the mill f
its site. Christopher Comatock keptt ‘

ers in lil7l._hc .lived at, the corner of
East AVonuc and, the Old Fairfiold road
opposite the meeting house and very
near our Founders‘ stone. Richard
Holmes set up the first saw mill on Five
Mile River with the liberty of a mile
othimbcr on this side of that river.
With the building of the bridge move-
ment towards uptown begun; then
came the question of a now meeting
housc. The young people who looked
towards the future thought a change of
alto was desirable and the oldppeople
who looked toward the past, remem-
