Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Description and Dedication of the Seaton Public School Building, Washington, D. C., September 30, 1871
All the bells are worked by electricity; the battery used therefor serves also as the motive power for a regulator, from which wires are run to hands on clock, faces in all the school-rooms, so that the clocks in all the rooms are uniformly set, and moved by the sure agency of electricity.
The furniture - single desks and chairs for pupils, and teachers' desks, all made of cherry, and of the most approved patterns - is from 'the manufactory of Mr. W. G. Shattuck, of Boston.
