Excerpt from The Medford Historical Register, 1932, Vol. 35
It seems that fifty years elapsed before some effort was made to provide other accommodation than one central school building would afford, and two schools were organ ized, one for the west and the other for the east portion Of the town, whose masters were to receive each two pounds per month for three months' services. However this may have been, the years passed away and with them Old colony times, and Medford was under the king no longer; in fact, the third president of the United States had commenced his second administration, and as yet no schoolhouse had been built for the west end.
May 5, 1805, the town voted to choose a committee to look out for a piece of land at the West End, to pro cure materials and report at the March meeting. Whether the committee found so much land to select from (it must be remembered that the west end then extended beyond Symmes corner in Winchester) or whether they over looked their duty during the time allotted to them, we know not.
