Excerpt from Tattler, 1923
Those of us who have passed the half century mark of life look with wonderment, approaching the emotion of unfavorable judgment, on the present day institutions of learning and their methods of pedagogy. As we do so, our thoughts unconsciously revert to the little red schoolhouse; where, long ago, we sat on crude benches sipping knowledge as best we could under the then existing conditions. We strove hard to master the three R’s and when we had fairly succeeded in doing so, we bequeath ed our books, slate and pencil if enough of them remained to do further service, to our younger kin, and entered the race of life depending upon muscular strength to outclass our competitors.
