SAMUEL S. GREENE. SAMUEL STILLMAN GREENE was born in Belchertown, Mass., on the 3d of May, 1810. Receiving his early education in the district schools of his native town, he fitted for Brown University in Leicester Academy, and graduated in 1837, with the highest honors of his class. Inheriting "an aptness to teach" from his father, who was known in all the region round about as "Master Greene," he commenced his novitiate as a teacher in the district school in the winter of 1829-30, "at ten dollars a month and boarded round," and followed it up regularly every winter until he entered college, and with the exception of a single winter, until he graduated—thus acquiring the means of continuing his own education and consolidating his own intellectual training, by instructing others. After graduating, he taught in Worcester Academy, Mass, first as assistant, and then as principal, form 1837 to 1840, which post he resigned to become Town Superintendent of the Public Schools of Springfield-the first appointment of the kind in Massachusetts. In 1842 he removed to Boston, where he was first assistant in the English High School, and the principal of one of the Public Grammar Schools, and in 1849 Agent of the State Board of Education from 1849 to 1851, when he removed to Providence to become Superintendent of the City Public Schools, and soon after Professor of Didactics in Brown University, and in 1855 Professor of Mathematics and Civil Engineering. While Superintendent in Providence he established a class of teachers, in 1853, composed partly of students in the University, and of city and county teachers, out of which grew up a private Normal School, which in 1854 was adopted by the city, and the same year by the State, and is now known as the State Normal School. Prof. Greene was one of the founders of the Massachusetts State Teachers' Association-and one of the first Board of Editors of the Massachusetts Teacher:-Vice-President and active member of the American Institute of Instruction and President of the Rhode Island Institute, as well as of the National Teachers' Association-discharging, by his presence in all professional gatherings and a willing service, the duty which every teacher owes to his profession แ Prof. Greene is the author of a very valuable and popular series of English Grammars, viz. :-" Introduction to the study of English Grammar," first published in 1856; "First Lessons in English Grammar," first published in 1849; "Elements of English Grammar," first published in 1853; "Analysis of the English Language," first published in 1848. The last named was the first pub lished, and introduced the new method of analysis into this department of in struction. One of his numerous educational lectures is printed in the volume of the American Institute, viz. :-" On teaching Reading through the Elementary Sounds of the Language." XIV. AMERICAN TEXT-BOOKS.
