Historical Note
Records of a society formed in Hebron, Maine. The preamble of its constitution states its purpose as "improving ourselves in the art of extemporaneous speaking, of acquiring a general knowledge of declamation, and of rendering mutual assistance to each other in the acquirement of an education, also of cultivating social intercourse and of cherishing brotherly love." The records indicate that it was to be a secret society and that it was also called the Mutual Educational Society of Hebron Lodge No. 5.
