Schools of the Olden Times.

According to the local histories, the
Long Island s~choolhouse of the olden
time was the least pretentious OF all
buildings, says the New York Mail and
Express. No Communications of any
kind seemed to have occurred to the
old settlers in the erection of churches
and schoolhouses. Yet around them
cling many pleasant and happy mem
cries. The schoolhouses were not
painted inside or out, nor were the
walls or ceilings plastered. Nhe wood
for fuel was supplied in a loose way,
each scholar being required to bring
his share OF wood every day, and the
rooms were cleaned by the scholars.
In those days children were taught to
show the greatest difference and re-
spect for their teachers. In the acade-
my of Jamaica, in 1892. it was in the
bylaws that when a tutor or any gen.
tleman comes in or goes out of the
schoolroom, every scholar should rise
up with a respectful bow. There was
generally but one book-a reader. The
teachers only had an arithmetic, call
ed the schoolmaster's assistant. In
those days grammer was not taught
intelligently, for the master did not
understand it himself. He set the pu-
pills at memorizing the words all
through the book. The schoolroom
was only supplied with long, low pine
desks, and oaken benches without
backs were the scholars seats. The
teacher had a high oaken stool, and
kept a hickory whip by his side, which
he used numerically when occasion
required. Steel pens, ruled paper and
ready made writing books had not
