Dear Sir,
Your most obedient
Humble Servant
B. Arnold
Many interesting tales are told to-
day by our fathers and grandfathers
of happenings in their school life.
In those days the teachers would
board at the homes of the pupils.
The teachers were not chosen for
their educational value, but for
whether or not they could handle
the 'big boys" Usually the older
boys did not enter school until a
month or two after it had begun,
staying out to help with the fall
work on the farms.
The following is a true incident,
told to j. Harry Martin of near
Broadfording by teacher boarding
at his home. This teacher started
school one fall in pine hill school
house, not far from the Conoco-
cheague Creek. As usual those be-
ginning in September were the
smaller children, afraid of the teach
er and well behaved. So all ran
smoothly until the first of Novem-
Der, when the fun began.
Early on the first Monday in No
vember there came into the school
house three husky young men,
toughened by long days of hard
work on the farm, and more inter-
ested in having themselves a time
than in learning the three RS. The
three were obviously buddies and
the teacher saw trouble in store for
him before the day would end.
About the middle of the forenoon
the trouble started when one of the
boys pulled the pig tail" of little
girl in front of him, causing tears.
The teacher decided it was now or
never, so he called for the boy to
come to the front and take whip
ping. The whole school was tense
because they knew this was the test
to see whether the teacher was
master or not.
The boy called, came forward with
the intentions of licking the teach
er. But this teacher was man him
self and soon had the boy on the
floor. CHANGING up he saw as he

expected, the other two boys, both
bigger than himself, rise up to the
aid of their buddy.
This story will be continued in my
column next week.

Have you ever gone to school in
a one room school house? Imagine
teaching arithmetic, English, read
ing, spelling, geography, history and
perhaps art and a few other subjects
to each and every one of eight
grades. The little red school house
at one time was common sight but
today there are very few if any in
Washington County.
The first school in Washington
County of which we have any rec
ord, was established in 1776 by Bar
tholomew Booth. He obtained a
tract of land from Lord Baltimore,
consisting of over HOO acres where
the Antietam joins with Beaver
Creek The land was on both sides
of the Antietam and he named it
Delemere.
The school he established on this
place was an excellent one, and soon
became widely known. Pupils from
far and near entered. Robert Nor
ris wrote to him in 1777 as follows
1.-THE high reputation you have
acquired by your institution for the
education of youth must naturally
create a desire in many parents to
have their sons admitted into so
promising an Academy, and l am
amongst those who admire your
character and wish my son to par
take of the advantages of instruc-
tons from so accomplished a gentle
man."
Mr.. Morris promised to send to
Europe for books for this early
school, as did Benedict Arnold, who
also sent two of his sons to Mr..
Booths school.
At the time Mr. Arnold's sons set
out for the school on the Antietam,
he wrote the following letter to Mr..
Booth This amusing and revealing
letter has long been preserved by
the descendants of the early school
master.
Phila., May 10Th, 1879.
Dear Sir:
Being in daily expectation of send
ing my sons to you has prevented my
answering your favor of the I'd of
April before. / am extremely happy
in committing the care of their edu-
cation to Gentleman so universally
esteemed and admired, not in the
least doubling your care and atten-
ton to them in every particular.
Let me beg of you my Dear Sir to
treat them in the same manner as
you would your own; where they
deserve Correction, / wish not to
have them spared. They have been
for some time in this City, which
is a bad School, and my situation
has prevented my paying that at
tention to them I otherwise should
have done. If they have contracted
any bad Habits they are not of long
standing, and l make no doubt under
your care they will soon forget them.
/ wish their Education to be useful
rather than learned. Life is too
short and uncertain to throw away
in speculation on subjects that per-
haps only one man in ten thousand
has genius to make a figure in.
You will pardon my debating to
you, Sir, but as the fortunes of every
man in this Country are uncertain,
l wish my sons to be Educated in
such a manner that with prudence
and industry they may acquire a
fortune in case they are deprived of
their Patrimony, as well as to be-
come useful Members of Society.
