Later it wa renamed Newcom school. "In 1913, the board of education eliminated four district schools. Newcom was one of them. Former pupils brought their children around to mourn the closing. We heard Henry Schenck's father telling him where he sat in 1870.

"Newcom school was sold in '1911 to Dayton Turners association for $12,600. but the German gymnastic group never used it. Plans to operate a gym there never materialized because the neighborhood was changing. "Children started throwing rocks through the windows, so they were boarded up.

Luke 2:43 'Jesus loved His parents, but when He was 12 years old, the time had come for Mary's bidding guidance to end, for Him to be about His father's business. Let us reconstruct the memorable scene at the Temple. It provides the last detailed story of Jesus given us by the Gospels before His reappearance as a mature Man. ready to begin His final ministry. Jesus had come with His parents and a large group of friends and neighbors from the village of Nazareth to Jerusalem for the Passover.

But this Spring was a special occasion for Jesus, because it was His 12th year, and He would go through the ceremony that would make Him "a son of the Law." It was a rite that every male member of the Hebrew faith observed at that age. Afterwards he was regarded as an adult. The big, beautiful Temple, with its pillars, terraces and courts, was swarming with people from all over the country, who had come to Jerusalem for the Passover. After His own confirmation ceremony was over, Jesus pushed His way through the dense "crowds to the Temple's east portico, called Solomon's Porch. There, seated upon a raised dais, the rabbis discussed the fine points of their religion and answered questions from the passersby.

The Boy Jesus was deeply interested in their doctrinal liair-splitting. He sat down beside one of the big pillars, and leaning His head upon His hands thoughtfully, regarded them with an attitude of mixed reverence from within by the golden radiance of Godhood. After a time, He began to ask questions timidly at first, then boldly. The learned elders looked at the Lad from Nazareth in His peasant's garb a simple tunic bound with a leather girdle. "And all that heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers." Here His mother found Him three dayi later, "sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them tnd asking questions."
