Little Falls, NY

This day in history: September 10

1886

The parochial school connected with St. Mary’s church opened with nearly 300 pupils, with their instructions being furnished by four lay teachers. The average for each teacher is too large for the best results, but no more than for Union schools. The large number in students is due in part to child labor laws in our mills.

1889

The new bell for the school house on Church street, weighs 387 pounds. It can be heard nearly anywhere in the village.

1908

The old Gem Theatre in the Beniens block has been closed and the new Gem theatre, with a capacity of 425 on the ground floor and first balcony, has been opened. The natty little new playhouse has been crowded at each of the three nightly performances.

Many thanks to Louie Baum for his research for This Day in History.
