About this item

Robert B. Hall’s “Select School” did not last long enough to appear in the school board records that survive in Buckland, Massachusetts. Hall would probably have been the sole instructor. His salary would have been paid for by the tuition of his students. He was all of 19 years old, but this was not unusual: very few elementary teachers in that era had more than a secondary education. He eventually was ordained a Methodist minister and died in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1876.
