The school house had long low win
dows on three sides, and the rough log
walls had no blackboards nor maps.
The writing desks were made OF long
slabs supported by poles driven into
the walls and the seats were also
made of slabs, with no backs, and legs
made of poles, and ten plate wood

There was no water pail, but a con
venient spring supplied the thirsty

the only broom she had was one used
by her predecessor the winter before,
who found the handle convenient for
poker, making 1t much shorter, and
soiling the hands of the sweeper.

With such equipments she did the
best she could, but realizing her need
of a better education, attended the
seminary the following winter and
was employed the next summer where
she taught first with slight increase
of wages. Afterwards the field of la
Dor was extended north, south, east
and west, of her native village, and
some schools in Licking county also in
Coshocton county were chosen fields
of labor.
Visiting in Illinois in 1860 she
taught one term in Ogle county, anu
was called home by the sickness and
death of brother. Her sphere of la

probably people were made of sterne
stuff in those days and could endure
hardships which we of the present
day could not. Such were the expe

could be vouched for by few yet liv'
ing. Very few teachers remain of that
period, but many pupils may be found
scattered over the country, aged men
and women, who tell their children o.
the good old days when they attended

Such were the school privileges the
pioneers of this state were permitted
to have in the eaily years of the nine
