About This Item
1901 First Limited Edition. #85/150 on Strathmore Deckle, hand-numbered. 128 pp. Author of: Ballads of New Jersey in the Revolution and several others including a history of Dover, NJ. According to genealogical research: Charles Davis PLATT, their oldest son, was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, March 18, 1856. His earliest schooling was received from his mother, at home. At the age of eight he entered the private school of Miss Eliza and Miss Caroline MITCHELL, on Scott place. At the age of twelve he entered the school of Rev. John F. PINGRY, on Mechanic street, Elizabeth. He wishes to bear testimony to the excellence of the instruction that he received at these two schools. It was thorough and scholarly and the personal influence of the teachers was kindly and ennobling. It is due to such teachers that their work and their worth should be cherished with grateful appreciation. From the home school to the distant college was a great step in experience and in education. Williams College was then small in numbers, but was manned by a group of able and experienced professors. Eminent among whom was the venerable ex-President Mark HOPKINS, then still teaching in his department of moral philosophy. In the faculty were men of notable personality— President Chadbourne, Professors Bascom, Perry, Dodd, Griffin, Fernald, Remsen, Tenney, Gilson, Safford, Pratt, and Raymond. After graduating in 1877, a call from Dr. PINGRY to assist him in the home school at Elizabeth started Mr. PLATT upon the career of a teacher, in which he has continued for thirty-seven years. For six years he taught Greek, Latin and other subjects in the Pingry school. In 1883 he became principal of Morris Academy, then a small private school where boys were prepared for college. In February, 1901, he became principal of the Wallingford High School, Wallingford, Connecticut. In 1903 he came to the Dover High School, of which he is now principal (1914) and teacher of German.
