Old-Field Schools in Olden Times.
Ex-Gov. Perry, in his very interesting
"Reminiscences," written for the Green?
ville Enterprise and Mountaineer, git es
the following truthful and life-like de?
scription of the '"old-field schools" of
his young days, and which wer^ common
even at a later period. The fidelity of
the picture will be recognized by many
of our readers:
"I have a very vivid remembrance of
my old-field schools, although sixty-four
years have passed away, since I began to
go to them, and fifty-four since I left
them. They were all pretty much alike*
There was a log house/twenty feetsquare,
built near a spring, and frequently in the
woods instead of an-old field. In one
end of the building there was a huge
fire place, extending almost across that
end of the bnilding. The chimney was
proportionably large. There were great
cracks between the logs, which let in the
light, and rendered it unnecessary to
Lave more than one window, which was
about one foot and a half square. Some
times the cracks were chinked in the
finter, but the chinking was al
ays knocked out in the Summer. This
made the school room airy, as well as
light. There was a desk in one corner
for the accommodation of the teacher
and keeping books and papers. On this
desk there were always a large hickory
switch about three feet lon<r, and brought
into effective use every day, and some?
times every hour in the day. The prop?
er use of this switch seemed tobe as nec
cessary to the pedagogue as his learning.
Mr. Petigru went to school to Dr.
"VVaddell, at Wiilington, who, it is said,
had great experience, as well as sleight
of-hand, in the use of the switch or
hickory, and after he graduated at the
South Carolina College, he taught
school himself for a short period, and
said that if he had continued much long?
er than he really thought he could have
equalled his old preceptor in the dexte
ous use of the switch. It is remarkable
that such a barbarous practice should
have been universally tolerated by pa?
rents and practiced by school teachers.
An .ill-natured pedagogue gets in the
habit of flogging his boys, and does it
very often to gratify his own bad feelings
severely for the most trivial offences,
when a word of reproof from the teach?
er would have had a much better effect
on the boy. It is said there are two
?ways of governing, one by fear and the
other by love. The latter never was re
Borted to by school masters in my boyish j
days. I hope there has been a change
in this respect since that time. I have
seen boys whipped in school until they
did not seem to regard it all, and it had
no effect in improving their behaviour.
If they had been treated kindly by the
teacher, and gently reproved, it would
have had a much better effect.
There was a plank or puncheon on one
side of the school house for the scholars
to write on, instead of a table or desk.
There were benches all around the room
for them to sit on, and sometimes when
the school was large, there would be two
or three across the middle of the room.
The girls were generally seated on one set
of benches, ana the boys on another. In
learning our lessons we would repeat them
as loud, as we pleased in school, and
sometimes when all were intent on learn?
ing, che school house was a perfect babel.
At the door hung a paddle or stick,
which every one had to carry out with
him when he left the room and no one
dared to get out until he returned. This
badge was seldom hanging at the door
idly. As soon as one returned with it
another took it. But all had first to ask
leave of absence from the school master.
If we did not know how to pronounce a
word we went to the teacher \. ith a fin?
ger on the word, and he gave the proper J
pronunciation. Very often this was done
oat of pure mischief or idleness.
The larger boys who were learning
Arithmetic or Grammar, were permitted
to go out of the school house to get their
lessons. Certain classes were called to
recite at certain times, and the teacher
was kept very busy from early in the
morning till twelve o'clock when there
was an intermission in the school of an
hour or two. Thi3 was "play time.!'
Baskets were opened and all partook of
their dinners first and then went to play.
Some times there was an exchange of
dinners, or a swap of one article of food
ibr another. The plays were numerous
with balls and marbles. I do not remem?
ber all the varieties. There were "pris?
oner's base," "cat," "shinney," "nucks,"
"quoits," etc. etc.
When our play time had expired, the
teacher would come to the door and cry
out in a stentorian voice, "come to
books." Instantly all plays were at an end,
and all were hastening back to the school
house. The school continued in the eve?
ning till towards sun set, and not like
the present fashionable schools, one-half
the day only. School keeping now a
days is nothing more than "lesson hear?
ing." The boy is expected to learn his
lessons at home, and come the next day
and recite them. The parents have to
become teachers, and the boy trudges
along with a satchel full of books. We
fenerally left our books at the school
ouse and learned our lessons there un?
der the direction of the teacher. When
the school closed there was a rival?
ry amongst the boys as to carrying the
teacher home with them. He board?
ed amongst his pupils. Sometimes he
would stay at one house a week, and then
night. He generally favored those with
most of his company,, where ho found the
beat accomodations. This was very nat?
ural and excusable. The teachers were
most commonly young men, and without
families. The first school master, how?
ever, that I ever went to, was a married
man. He got drunk one night, fell into
the creek and frozo to death on its banks.
I had iust begun to learn my letters and
was about five years old. i remember
my father asked me if i could say my let?
ters "by heart." I did not know what
"by heart" meant, but commenced repea?
ting the alphabet, and with some ap?
prehension that I might not do it "by
heart."
The boys in the school were very socia?
ble and hospitable. They were very
fond of going home with each other and
spending a night. This wa3 done con?
stantly. We had, however, first to ask
our parents permission. This wa3 sel?
dom refused.
It was customary in those days to
"turn out" the teacher on holidays and
other occasions. The boys would take
advantage, in the absence of the teacher,
to bar the door and demand a holiday.
Sometimes the demand extended to a
treat. I remember a school master from
Pennsylvania who seemed to be ignorant
of this custom and took it in high dud
geo". He turned his back on the school
and walked olf very unceremoniously.
The scholars held a consultation wh^tl r
or not they should p'u ..? him, bring
him back and make him treat. But he
was a stout, athletic fellow and they
were afraid of the consequences. Some?
times the teacher would break down the
door and get into the house. Then all
I have seen boys whipped
again he would change his lodgi
_T_L i TT - _11 _ C_1 .
the boys got around him like a parcel of
Lilliputians and finally overcome him.
He was held in durance vile till he
came to terms. This was a frolic well
understood by the teacher as well as the
boys, and never resulted in anything
unpleasant.
Gov. Chamberlain's Cause.
One would suppose, on reading the
fulsome laudations of Gov. Chamberlain
which have lately appeared in a number
of our State exchanges, that certain Con?
servative journals are opposing the ac?
tion of the Governor in his efforts to give
the people of South Carolina two years of
fair government. So far as we have read
our exchanges we have not found a line
or word in any one of them that warrants
such a conclusion. On the contrary, all
?without any exception?have cordially
endorsed his course, 30 far as that course
affected the State at large; but some of
us have not fallen down and worshipped
him; we have not filled the columns of
our papers every week with fulsome adu
servative journals that assume the cham?
pionship of his administration. We have
dared to speak and write of Attorney
General Chamberlain calmly and accord?
ing to our convictions of what is due
to the people and Mr. Chamberlain
himself.
Some of our exchanges teil us "Gov?
ernor Chamberlain is a necessity." We
do not endorse that, in full. Gov. Cham?
berlain's course we grant, was a necessity,
not merely for the good of the tax-payers
of this State, but more especially for the
perpetuation of the Republican party in
the country. The wires were worked in
Washington, and he responded. The
condition of South Carolina began to
open the eyes of the people all over the
country to the corruption of the Republi?
can party, and well founded fears were
entertained that unless a change was
made?even a temporary one?in this
State, that party would surely lose the
next Presidential election, and perhaps
South Carolina also. We have no idea
it wa3 any love for the people of this
State that prompted the leaders of the
Republican party to demand the reform,
although we acknowledge that we are
greatly benefitted by it, and are pleased
with it?even if it should prove to but a
respite from the former infamous rule.
We would not place a straw in 'Gov.
Chamberlain's path so long as he contin?
ues in the course he has marked out.
Other journals say the time selected for
speaking of Attorney-General Chamber?
lain's errors was inopportunate. There
we differ widely. We thought then, and
still thiuk, the time was most propitious
for reminding him and his friends that
the odium of his former associations was
still clinging to him ; and as arrests of
some of those associates were about to
commence, an opportunity would be of?
fered him to prove his assertion that he
was iunocent of any of the fraud and cor?
ruption imputed to him while he was
Attorney-General. For our part, we
were sincerely desirous that he should
prove himself guiltless of actual partici?
pation in those frauds, and his cham?
pions said he could do so. But how
stands the case now. Parker, one of his
associates, has been in jail for some weeks,
awaiting a trial. His trial commenced
last week; the evidence against him has
been closed; in that evidence it is found |
that in the division of the result of what
is very evidently a fraudulent speculation
in bond coupons, $50,000 was "set aside*'
for Attorney-General Chamberlain. It
is true that the same witness says, "he
was not aware that Mr. Chamberlain
knew anything about the transaction, or
whether he received tho $50,000 ;" but
where was the Governor of the State
when the trial was going on, and this
imputation was sworn to ? He knew of
it, and must have expected that his name
would be mixed up with it. By the fol?
lowing, which we take from the Charles?
ston News and Courier of the 12th, we are
'informed that Mr. Chamberla'n was, and
is still absent from the State; and we are
led to infer that he cares but little about
the trial and the effect it will have upon
his official character, or the interests of
the State:
Governor Chamberlain is not here to
speak for himself, and we feel warranted,
therefore, iff* printing an extract from a
private letter, dated May 11, 1875, when
the charge that Governor Chamberlain
was mixed up with the coupon frauds
had not been made. Iw the letter in
question, Governor Chamberlain said:
"The whole coupon business, for which
Parker is now held, was new to me 'till
last February. I never heard of such a
transaction 'till then. Who were iu it,
I cannot tell, but I do know who is not."
Now, we would like to take Gov
Chamberlain's statement as truth ; but it
does seem strange that he should absent
himself from the State, ju?t at the time
when he knew his name would ba "mixed
up with the coupon frauds" under the i
solemnity of an oath.(
When we consider the utter indiffer?
ence displayed by the whole Radical gang
when charges of fraud and corruption are
made against them, Mr. Chamberlain's
indifference to the case now on trial and
his apparent don't-care style of treating
all notices of his connexion with t hose
who we must believe did commit frauds,
naturally compels us to place him in the
same schedule of crime with them.
Like Leslie, Whittemore, Crews, Hur?
ley, et id omne genus, he appears not to
care a whit for the accusations made
against him, and while he may not, like
them, smile with childlike blandness at
the frauds they have been accessory to,
and claim praise for their sharp practices,
he certainly does not seem the least dis?
turbed at his name being placed in the
same category. He evidently aims to
have two years of good record, as Gov?
ernor, in the belief that it will wipe out
all traces of the many previous years of
bad record, and wo don't object to
that. j
What we complain of most is the hasty
?we may say premature?and fulsome
defense of Governor Chamberlain, by
some of the papers in the State, while
they are earnest and persistent iu their
demands for the arrest and conviction of
every other official who acted with him
when the frauds were committed. Let
us demand of him also to clear up, as far
as he can, the mystery which shrouds his
former course. If he docs that, or even
makes an honest and bold effort to defend
himself, no man will be more willing
than we to try and forget the past; but
until we have more reason for recalling
the accusations made against him before
he was elected Governor, we are uot
ready to say that those accusations were
false and unfounded. We endorse his
course toward the State, as Governor,
but in many things he has done towards
the Counties which show conclusively,
we think, that the reform he professes is
more to affect tho mines of outsiders than
to restore, practically, an honest and ac?
ceptable government to the people of the
State. In the language of the News and
Courier tc 'cnotroller Dunn, "no pub?
lic officer is U> high for criticism."?

THE great secret is PA Y YOUR DEBTS, at least every year, and then you will be rich,
because you won't owe any body. Did you ever think of the idea that the person
out of debt?if he is a gentleman?is "all right," whether he has got. anything left or not?
The plan is pay early in the fall, and not keep your creditors waiting until the next year;
this is not business, and a people who keep in debt from year to year, never prosper. We
make these suggestions for the good of us all. We want to sec everybody prosper,

And we take this early opportunity, to tell every body and the balance of mankindgener"
