Of course there | was sickness. But doctor's bills were I not so many and so big then as now. \ Doctors, as a rule never got rich in k the country. If they accumulated ^^^fcoperty it was from some other ^Beonrre man ineir practice. opeaKing of the cold, remember how good it felt to be allowed to "warm" and Hfefeow sometimes when a boy had stood long and too close to the big log |^Rre somebody would catch his jeans | * breeches and pull the hot side to the Lskin and hold them? My how one had to dance! These jeans or cop ^ peras breeches, frequently made from I wool grown on the home flock, were i so stiff they would stand up alone and made as they were to come about half way between the knee and the ^ ankle were as exquisite things of tor^ture to the tender skin as could have Hteen devised. w ? F What a grand time one could have H at "big recess" and how quickly one's dinner was bolted down so as to get! W into tilav! Remember how you used i to punch your finger down in a bis- j ' cuit and then pour syrup in the hole? i Have you ever had any pudding half ft so good? And some of those games were rough. "Treat 'em rough" doubtless had its origin back there in ^L^tingermaree," bull pen, leap-frog, ^^Hmping and the like.

In the summer, marbles Proas'-the king game and it is interestP mg to note, as is shown by the quota tion from William Cowper, do not p pronounce his name as spelled, please, that marbles was a great school i : game almost two hundred years ago in England and it is a much older game than that. As he says, it was ^ great to "knuckle down to taw" and j ^^jjroundance" was sometimes belii^gerently demanded. Children now play with little glass marbles, some sort of game with marbles in a row W and "win" the little marbles, but in I the real game we had a "ring," as " Cowper says, and a man shot from taw with a smii mat was some times v uncanny. Even grown men found joy in the game, and on many a farm it was hard to get "hands" away -" from the game of marbles to return r to their work. |fcL Bright spots in the week, the oases W in the desert, were Friday afternoon's S-. exercises. Lessons were dispensed L with and there were declamations and j^^&Iogues, mostly from McDuffie's B^fandbook, or any poem or selection /the scholar might choose, and they inI /. eluded "The Boy Stood On The Burning Deck," "The Mariner's Dream," "Spartacus to The Gladia' tors" and many will be interested in knowing that the Spartacides of Germany got their name from this same old Spartacus, and other heavy selections for the boys with molder, sentimental and sad ones for the girls. Usually the Friday program was ? - / i _ ^^aried, one Friday would oe ior ae Ifcmations and the next one for readW^Mg selections. This was pie to the H^Eoys who hated to memorize any^^Ring. x spelling match came now and then and they were great events and real tests of skill in spelling. In those days one learned to spell by syllables laovnori trt read in the same way. p ?*UU ?V?*? ? ? Sight reading was unknown and there was not half so many breaks in prof^unciations as there are now by pupils who learn to read by "seeing" the whole word. It was "B-a, ba-ke-r, baker" in those days and so on up to "in-com-pre-hen-si-bil-i-ty." y The exhibition at night to mark its close came upon* the country school in the days of not so long ago. ^Annfrv srhools had noth- !

The little house l swept clean and garnished as it were [ and every boy and girl "dressed up" L and with faces shining from excesf sive soap for once, looked at the I teacher eagerly land winsomely as he ^^gave them for the last time the tWwords, "School is dismissed." | William Cowper gives us this little I miniature which appeals to all who j I know the original: I "Be it weakness it deserves some i praise, !
