qualifications /, those who applied for
schools. Unless the master was capable
Of vigorous physical exercise he was sure
to be ''thrown out" by the bullies of the
school.
The professional men were the lawyers,
doctors and clergymen. The life of .
country doctor was moot strenuous be-
cause of the long rides he was obliged to
take over bad roads and the rigorous
climate to be endured. In the early fl fties,
the country doctor went his rounds on
horseback with saddle bags, AL his pa
tients lived in out-of- the-way places
where there were no carriage roads.
The lawyer and: the minister travelled
In like manner. The minister's lot was
BY no means an easy one, though he was
always assured Of full stomach and .
welcome ct every house. They were men
Of deep pisty, and with some learning,
bat their sermons were dull and long
drawn out. They received obut little
money, but were paid in the currency Of
the times; vegetables, hay, etc.
The times were rough, and Christianity
often spread slowly, but the minister was
man Of Importance IN the community
and he made an impression on the people.
Through his efforts infidelity, immortality
and intemperance declined, and material
prosperity followed - natural conse-
quence. There were but few churches In
the country and services were held in
schoolhouses. Ministers often added to
their salaries ~ sssching school during
the winter months.
The people being isolated and obliged to
stay at home found much time for read
ing and social intercourse. Books were
few, but well selected. The stories OF
Dickens, Scott, Cooper and Irving were
much read and so were historical works.
Nearly every family possessed bible and
the children were taught to commit and
quote scripture in the Sunday school. The
old custom Of keeping the bible on the
parlor table is still in vogue and bears
witness to the piety and Christian rever-
ence Of their descendants.
Public speaking and court trials were IN
educational factor in the lives Of the
country people, while the lyceum and
town meeting educated the young men in
the forensic art.
Such was eastern Maine societytin the
middle of the last century. It possessed
no very great advantages and had no aris-
tocrscy, but what was better than all
things else it held q sturdy, hardy race Of
men and women that has produced an in
telligent, industrious, thrifty and
patriotic citizenship.
