William Jones and John Carlisle. A sub-committee was chosen to draw up rules, the literary labor falling to Mr. Howland. "Up to this time I had never seen a grammar, a sorry confession for a school committee man, " wrote Howland, as gram- mar and geography had never been taught in Providence. In 1820, a second movement began for a State system of public schools by a resolution passed by the General Assembly "calling on the several towns for information on the subject of public schools. " Provi-... dence replied that she had five public school houses and eight hundred and forty-six pupils under instruction at a cost of $3750. Newport had about twenty children at the "Long Wharf Public School, " no more. Newport, in 1825, "thought it advisable that the education of males should be provided for. " Alas, no school for girls ! Newport asked for a public lottery to raise $10, 000 for a school fund, and was refused but was al- lowed to raise a tax of $800 "for educating the white children of the town.
