This view prevailed in the councils of the state, but the town in its corporate capacity acted on the question at a much earlier period. In May, 1603, the following order was passed by the pro- prietors: "It is agreed by this present assembly that one hundred acres of upland and six acres of meadow (or lowland to the quantity of eight acres, in lieu of meadow) shall be laid out within the bounds of this town of Providence; the which land shall be reserved for the maintenance of a school in this... town; and that after the said land is laid out and the bounds thereof set, it shall be recorded in our town records according unto the bounds fixed, and shall be called by the name of the School Lands of Providence. " This is the earliest grant now to be found in the records and the earliest reference to a school or any means of education. From a petition of John Whipple, Jr. , presented to the town January 28th, 1684, it appears that a whole purchase right of land had long before that time been set apart for the use and benefit of a school.
