The children may be interested in a question asked by a little girl in
the third grade. She said, "My pa wants I should ask you whether the
children of Israel, that Moses led out of Egypt, were black people, or
white people?"
I have been teaching nearly six weeks. The house is a cheap frame one
with a fire-place at one end. It is supplied with five benches, two
desks and a blackboard. On those small benches twenty-five or more
children must be seated. It is hard to keep them busy, as very few have
the books which they need. Many are just learning to read, and some of
these are making excellent progress.
At first it seemed as though the scholars would fight on the least
provocation. If there had not been a few who had attended another of our
schools, I do not know what I should have done, but those few did not
fight. Their deportment in the school-room was also good. Now there is
scarcely any fighting. At first several brought tobacco to school, but
it was not allowed to be used, and so is not brought now.
One day a girl was at the board doing a simple sum in addition, three
plus four; she put down nine as the entire sum. When I asked her what
three plus four was equal to, she said "seven." I then asked her why she
did not put that down; she said, "Dunno how to make a seben and so
'lowed dat would do." One young man has come to school but four half
days, yet he has learned to write his own name legibly and can read
some. He could spell "right smart" before he came.
