Talk:Dedham Public Schools

date of vote
Just an explanation of my reasoning: The source on page 6 quotes a town record that says "first day of the eleventh month" so it's definitely not Nov 2. Every other thing I've looked at including the plaque in the town says Jan 1. This is possibly consistent because the new year started on March 25 in British territories until 1752. Although I still don't know what the people in Dedham in 1644 would have meant by "11th month" since our article on the Gregorian_calendar does say that "in common usage, 1 January was regarded as New Year's Day and celebrated as such" (and cited to... Samuel Pepys's diary entry for Dec 31, 1661... ok.. moving on). All that being said, I think the safest decision would be to go with what the plaque says and leave it at that.

Capen School
Hasn't the Capen School, which had operated until recently at 322 Sprain on the corner of Sprague Street and Etna Road in Dedham, Massachusetts, been closed (and the still-standing building repurposed for other uses by the town and the Commonwealth)?

The Capen School, which had operated until recently at 322 Sprague Street at the corner of Sprague Street and Etna Road in Dedham, Massachusetts, is now closed. The school was built in 1927 and was named after Samuel Capen, who was a former Massachusetts State Commissioner of Education.¹³⁴

The building still hands and serves other state and municipal functions.MaynardClark (talk) 03:18, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
