CHAPTER XXIX SCHOOLS AND RATTLESNAKES The schools of this county were at first conducted on the old subscription plan, says W. S. Wilkinson, in a paper on the pioneer schools, read before the Historical Society, in 1905. Some one would go around the district with a subscription paper and the head of each family would subscribe so many scholars for the term at the price stated in the paper. If they secured a sufficient number of pupils the teacher was hired and the school went on. If not, the effort was a failure. Many a subscription paper has gone by default by not securing the required number. The wages paid were about ten dollars a month and the teacher boarded 'round among the scholars, boarding a week at one home, and the next week at another. Girls frequently taught for as low as eight dollars a month. Money was scarce then and the teacher sometimes had to take part of his wages in trade. The schools of the early days were of two kinds. There was the "loud school," and the "silent school." The silent school was where the pupils prepared their lessons silently, as at the present time, and the loud school was where they prepared their lessons in a loud voice all at the same time in school. Both the loud and silent plan had their advocates. In the loud school one scholar would be preparing his spelling lesson: B-a-k-e-r--baker; s-h-a-d-y-- shady; 1-a-d-y--lady; t-i-d-y--tidy; another his reading lesson: "The boy stood on the burning deck, whence all but him had fled," and another: "Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as cotton and everywhere that Mary went, the lamb would go a trottin'." I think those were not the words in the book, but something like. They would all be reading their lessons over in a loud voice at the same...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
