THE COUNTY SCHOOL.

We are printing from the Green
wood Index-Journal very interesting
story of the country school. That
is, it is interesting to US, because it
paints a true story of the country
school as we knew it in the days long
gone, and recalls to mind many of
the boys who were in school then,
and many Of them now passed to
their reward. We are quite sure
that the young editor Of the Index
Journal must have substituted some
temporary editor for the writing of
this very interesting article, because
he is too young to have known from
his own experiences so many of the
details Of the country school of the
days of which the writer tells.
We know that many Of the older
readers of The Herald and News will
recognize the picture as here given,
and those who are not old enough to
have enjoyed the good old country
school will be interested in reading
such true picture of it.
1t was generally located near a
church and with a spring hard by,
and the boys were always willing for
the opportunity to 60 to- the spring
for water.
And the dinner bucket, who does
not remember that very important
adjunct to- the life of the country,
school. In those days the school
sttook in" early in the morning and
it was an all day session, and the
children usually reached home just in
time to bring up the cows and to help
dc the many things about the country
home. But that dinner bucket was
a great institution. In the winter it
had the sausage and pudding and
spare ribs and always the bottle of
molasses and the biscuits and the
finger was used to make the hole In
the biscuit into which the molasses
was poured. And the long recess
was generally about an hour, and IN
the warm weather marbles was the
great American game. We have shot
