Free School, Newport Ballou’s Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion, circa 1860, presents the Free School, Newport, "a fine substantial brick building, well adapted to the purposes for which it was erected. The pupils in this school, under competent teachers, who are liberally paid for their services, receive an excellent education. The school is in an excellent condition, and the pupils evince a great interest in their teachers and zeal in their studies." |
