3 Clara Barton School Originally built in Bordentown, NJ in 1852.
Clara not only opened the school, but ran it and taught there as well. The number of students attending this free public school grew to 600 by the end of the first year alone. The school was rebuilt in 1853 to accommodate all the students. At that time, a man was hired as principal and he was given twice the salary that Clara had been making. This caused her to become discouraged and leave teaching, eventually leading to her role in the Civil War. Beginning Quiz End of Show
