and spelled it uschol”. That set the scholars in an uproar that was not quieted down until we were dismissed.

I heard that in another school the trustees were visiting, the mas- ter asked the scholars, "Who signed the Magna Charta?” The scholars were in dread that some of them had done something wrong. O‘ne boy spoke up “I did not sign it, Sir.” The master was so ashamed of the boy’s ignorance that he told him to take his seat. One of the trustees

said to the master, "Call that boy back I believe he did sign it.” We should be grateful for school privileges and make good use of them.

When it was replaced by a better one, it was used as a schoolhouse .for many years. So that from this picture we may see What the pioneer church edifices and schoolhouses looked like. The pioneers had few and crude tools with which to work.
