Title	Charity School of Kendal List of Graduates
Subject	Education Vocational education Schools
Place	Massillon (Ohio) Stark County (Ohio)
Description	This three page document includes a list of graduates of the Charity School at Kendal, Ohio (now Massillon), one of Ohio's first vocational schools. Detailed information about each student includes the courses they studied and their final grades. In addition to typical subjects such as reading and arithmetic, students studied "Practical Agriculture" or "Housewifery." The list measures 7.5" x 12.25" (19.05 x 31.15 cm). Upon the deaths of Thomas and Charity Rotch in 1823 and 1824 respectively, the bulk of their estate went to further a dream of Charity's. She called for the establishment of a school for orphans and poor children, "that they be trained up in the habits of industry and economy." The Charity School of Kendal, one of Ohio's earliest vocational schools, operated from 1829 to 1906, educating more than 500 children. The school was located on present-day State Street in Massillon, at the southeast corner of the present Ninth Street North East. The Rotch-Wales Collection comprises several thousand items, including Quaker and abolitionist materials, household remedies and recipes, weather reports and machinery plans, and personal letters of Thomas and Charity Rotch and their family. It contains personal and business correspondence, diaries, documents, accounts, ledgers, and daybooks. A large portion of the collection consists of the personal and business correspondence, documents, and business papers of Arvine Wales I (1785-1854), who accompanied Rotch from Hartford to Ohio in 1811, worked for him, and carried on Rotch's business interests after his death. The papers of his son, Arvine C. Wales (1827-1882), a lawyer and civic leader in Massillon, are also part of the collection.
