popularity of supervised recreation during the World War, the present system of
recreation strives to keep abreast of the times by means of its board of alert
and interested men. The public and town officials have co-operated most
enthusiastically, with the result that the Board of Commissioners have been
able to plan wisely and well. Harold H Phillips [is president of the present
board].(Ibid. p 74)

20 Oct 1973
Deerfield, Mass Oct 19
Mrs Helen Childs Boyden, instructor of science and mathematics at Deerfield
Academy for most of the years from 1905 to 1968, and widow of Frank L Boyden,
principal of the academy from 1902 to 1968, died today at her home here. She
was 90 years old.
Surviving are two sons, John C of Yarmouth Port and Prof Theodore C Boyden of
Atlanta; a daughter, Elizabeth, and two grandchildren.
Mrs Boyden was recognized as a great teacher in her own right. Together she
and her husband served the school for more than half a century, during which
the obscure village academy became one fo the nation's leading preparatory
schools for boys.
The daughter of an old Deerfield farm family, Helen Childs was born Sept 20,
1883. After graduating in 1904 from Smith College in nearby Northampton, she
taught school briefly in Stamford, Conn.
In 1905, Deerfield Academy needed a teacher, and she applied for the job.
Frank L Boyden, who had been principal of the school since his graduation from
Amherst in 1902, was not at all enthusiastic about the young applicant. But
the school was too poor to insist on someone more experienced. He hired her on
a temporary basis. They were married two years later.
Mrs Boyden dropped out of teaching at that time. But in 1913 she returned to
the classroom. In a highly personal style she cajoled thousands of students
through the intricacies of mathematics and chemistry.
Even in a large class she taught the individual, not the group. Her tongue
was quick, but never cutting. One boy, later a college president, recalls her
telling him:
"Victor! When will you stop trying to remember and start trying to think?"
Mrs Boyden gave confidence to the slower students, prodded the able ones to
do better and gave the process of learning an exciting, dramatic quality.
As Deerfield changed from a small village day school to a boarding school and
its reputation spread, honors came to Mrs Boyden as well as her husband. Smith
made her an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters at her 25th reunion in 1939.
Trinity College did the same in 1952. In 1946, St Lawrence University made Mrs
Boyden an honorary Doctor of Science.
Like her husband, Mrs Boyden knew each boy personally. If, unlike him, she
could not recognize each one at first glance after a lapse of years, they knew
it was because of the shortsightedness she always joked about. Behind the
glasses, they knew, was the keenest of insight and the rarest of affectionate
understanding. (New York Times, 20 Oct 1973)

Helen married Franklin Learoyd Boyden, son of Benjamin Franklin Boyden and Hannah W Cary, on 27 Jun 1907 in Deerfield, Franklin co, MA. Franklin was born 16 Sep 1879 in Foxborough, Norfolk, MA. He died 25 Apr 1972 in Deerfield, Franklin, MA.

All the boarders were single, and all the adults could read and write and were teachers in the Academy. 20 Oct 1973 Deerfield, Mass Oct 19 Mrs Helen Childs Boyden, instructor of science and mathematics at Deerfield Academy for most of the years from 1905 to 1968, and widow of Frank L Boyden, principal of the academy from 1902 to 1968, died today at her home here. She was 90 years old. Surviving are two sons, John C of Yarmouth Port and Prof Theodore C Boyden of Atlanta; a daughter, Elizabeth, and two grandchildren. Mrs Boyden was recognized as a great teacher in her own right. Together she and her husband served the school for more than half a century, during which the obscure village academy became one fo the nation's leading preparatory schools for boys. The daughter of an old Deerfield farm family, Helen Childs was born Sept 20, 1883. After graduating in 1904 from Smith College in nearby Northampton, she taught school briefly in Stamford, Conn. In 1905, Deerfield Academy needed a teacher, and she applied for the job. Frank L Boyden, who had been principal of the school since his graduation from Amherst in 1902, was not at all enthusiastic about the young applicant. But the school was too poor to insist on someone more experienced. He hired her on a temporary basis. They were married two years later. Mrs Boyden dropped out of teaching at that time. But in 1913 she returned to the classroom. In a highly personal style she cajoled thousands of students through the intricacies of mathematics and chemistry. Even in a large class she taught the individual, not the group. Her tongue was quick, but never cutting. One boy, later a college president, recalls her telling him: "Victor! When will you stop trying to remember and start trying to think?" Mrs Boyden gave confidence to the slower students, prodded the able ones to do better and gave the process of learning an exciting, dramatic quality. As Deerfield changed from a small village day school to a boarding school and its reputation spread, honors came to Mrs Boyden as well as her husband. Smith made her an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters at her 25th reunion in 1939. Trinity College did the same in 1952. In 1946, St Lawrence University made Mrs Boyden an honorary Doctor of Science. Like her husband, Mrs Boyden knew each boy personally. If, unlike him, she could not recognize each one at first glance after a lapse of years, they knew it was because of the shortsightedness she always joked about. Behind the glasses, they knew, was the keenest of insight and the rarest of affectionate understanding. (New York Times, 20 Oct 1973)
