AVEYAUWEGA'S FIRST SCHOOL.
1 taught AA\»vauvvega':j first school in the summer of 1851. The first of llie term we f^ccupitid a board shanly, with only one wintlow and a few benches in it. About a month later we moved to a larger building having mtire windows and some desks, as well as benches. Thede.!,ks were made by fastening a board up against the side of the room. Lf)i:g benches were placed in front of these desks when a clus.s was called, all the scholars had to do was to raise their feet antl swd'ig around on the bench, and Ihere they were in class. Oneof the striking features of the school was the variety of bf)ok3 used. One I remember was an old English reader. It often biok so long lo hear the recitations that sclifK)l did not close at the appointed time. There were thirly-four pupils enrolled. Three were in aitendancc from Mr. Goelchsiivs'family; Theresa and Byron Beele, Marion and Henry Pray, Rachel Kussel, Emily Billington, Phebe and Sarih Ftirtnor and Adelade Jenny arc all that I now remember. Mr. Barns engagetl me lo teach the schotil, but I do not remember his title. Simon (¦. Dovv gave me :iiy certificate, but whether he was superintendent or not I can not say. I received ten shillings per week for my .services besides my hoard, which I got by going arountl, staying from a week to lb ice weeks in a place.
