ACHIEVEMENTS 1. Organized, conducted and popularized Free School System, Bordentown, N. J., at her own expense. Commenced her school with six pupils, all boys, and in one year had six hundred; secured five teachers to assist and had promises of a new building, if she would continue.

Third week, room filled and assistant required. Such was the success that the private schools were discontinued and a four thousand dollar school house, three stories of brick, was built and Miss Barton inaugurated the _Free Public School of Bordentown, N. J._ With six hundred pupils and eight teachers, impetus was given to the cause of free education over the State, 1852–4. 2. First Woman Clerk in Government Office, Washington, D. C.
