Thencanic Society (Model School (Trenton, N.J.))Two reports for the meeting, or meetings, in the last weeks of October. Both are dated October 27, but J. Foster Post's report likely refers to the meeting of October 20. Regardless, Post's report was rejected. The second, by an unidentified author named "R. Reynolds," directly criticizes the apparently poor quality Post's report.
Both reports describe events surrounding the Thencanic's anniversary celebrations, held the last Friday in October, which further complicates the question of dating. Either way, these reports together give insight into a long-running and much beloved annual Thencanic event. Transcription included.
