DlAKY OF A SCHOOLMASTER
Elia Button'! Colonial Days' Record
Now Owned by Bluff Han.
SOME EARLY SCHOOL LAWS
Boys if Herolnttonary Period Were
Pat I'suler Bond to Keep Peace
and Bondsmen Were Home
times Punished,
Ellas Button taught school In the New
tCngland statea (or forty years during the
period beforo the war of the Revolution,
from 1757 to 179, and during that time kefct
a record of his life. Th'at record la now
In the possession of his great, grout, great,
grest nephey, Harry T. Hall of Council
Bluffa, who la employed In the auditor's
office at the Union Pacific headquarters.
In a book Cf parchment, made of paper
on which King George ordered that all
contracts should be written aa he collected
revenue for the thirteen original colonies
on .It,, Ellai wrote all his contracts for
teaching school, kept a complete record of
all disturbances in the school uud worked
out hard sums 'and mathematical problems
with a steady pen.
That tne book is made of better paper
than that used today Is evidenced by Its
remarkable condition. The leaves are not
browned as would be the leaves of a ftres-eut-day
bovk In such a length of time and
the Ink Is perfectly bluck. The old school
master taught the mysteries of reading,
writing, spelling and cyphering and also
taught nautical arithmetic. In the book
he at times called the men for whom ha
worked his "lmpllars" and again "Im
pllers." School la at Residence.
A' complete record of. the attendance of
each of the children is kept In the book,
hWh shows that school was In progress
six duys a week and that It was kept In
the homo of some private Individual. The
paper bears the crown and water mark of
King USorge II.
One of the greatest peculiarities of the
school laws was that It was customary
when a rhll.l was coukIiI at soma mischief
to give him a hearing and if found guilty
he was sentenced by the schoolmaster.
tThe hoy then had the privilege of giving
If' bondsman for his good behavior. He
j 'Uld have another boy go his bond and
stand sponsor for him. If the other boy
was acceptable to the teacher all well and
food, and the boy was not punished unless
he committed tha offense again, when both
he and his bondsman were punished.
Bora "Make Their Maaner."
The t ys were required to "make their
manner" when entering and, leaving school,
or If they should meet , a strange white
min on the road. The .students read out
loud, as the master could tell whether the
were studying, or not by that means.
The book which is now In the possession
of Mr. Hall was loaned a few years ago
by his mother, Dr. Cepha C. Hall, first
superintendent of the Woman's Christian
Association hospital. It was exhibited In
a colonial exhibit and two valuable pages
stolen, since which time Mr. Hall .does not
permit the book to go out of his possession.
In the records are found some of thr
most prominent families of Rhode Island
and Connecticut, such aa the - Palmers,
Thurstons, Woodmansees and Maine. All
had large families and It was no uncom
mon occurrence to find seven children
from ona family at school at the same
time. 8uch good old fashioned names as
Prudence, Desire, Mercys Charity, Peace
ful and tha grand old names of Noah,
Daniel, Elijah, Joslah and other biblical
names are found.
.Aa the old master made laws frr the gov
ernment' of hla achool he posted them and
put them In his memoranda book. Here
are some of the laws:
School l.mrrm of 17TO.
' All aohollara departing from home to go
to achool at their parting should make
their manners, and if they meet anybody
of their superiors or equals, meet and pass
them with good manners and coming Into

return home do likewise.
Schollars must all read loud In their
Stoudy and if they find a word or letter
that they don't know, they must go to ye
tutorer of ye school and ask what it is,
(manners to be used In ye attemt.) ,
If you lack a copy of sum request ye
same as opcrtunlty may permit, with man
ners, and having the same, return to your
business with munners as before.
When any person or persons (vis) white

It is a transgression and deserves punish

' Schollar must not quarrel and fight nor
provoke one another either by word Or
writing either In school or between schools
lest he be punished with school correction.
Schollars must not rob or steal one the
others dinners, nor pens nor quills nor any
thing that belongs to another If they do

and taken for better behavior but not

he that refuseth to get a bondsman shall
be ferrllled.
All schollars that are admitted In this
school shall submit themselves to ye gov
ernment of the same and not make any
eruption or disorder In school or amongst
neighbors or Imployers by telling tales of
falsehood or by misrepresenting matters
on purpose for mischief casting a slur on
ye credit of ye school but they shall try to
keep up ye credit of ye same by their in
dustery good manners and good examples.
The schollar or schollars that esteem
themselves so great as to scorn to be under
government but strive to make disorder
in school and ill blood amongst neighbors
and Impllers of this school they being sften

ernment of this school tbelr names shall
be raced out of this book and themselves
expeled out of this school no more to have
any pains taken with him or them dureing
the present school.
Record of Misdeeds.
The schoolmaster next kept a record of
tha various punishments he administered
to the pupils, causes for the same, and
some of the excuses the pupils gave. One
record reads as follows:
"Monday 4th week of this school, when
ye writers were reading verses Walter
Covey got behind ye schollars and got to
play and snickering and laughing sltliough
ho had been forbid such actions, now Is
ferruled for same on Ms right hand."
"Monday 'the "th day of this school
George Foster was called upon to answer
for not minding his book and also for
snickering In school, and Is' sentenced to
be ferruled or get a sufficient bor.dsman.
Joshua Pendleton gave bond for him."
"Ve 10th week and 6lh day, Paul Cran
dall and A r thud Palmer were fighting and
swearing are both sentenced to be ferruled
or get each one a bondsman for better be
haviour and for their being slack in obey
and minding what I say to them vis such
a bondsman that I will accept, one that
hath conducted himself well. Paul .Crun
dall bondsman was William Cnlburn. Jon
athan Mutn gave bond for Arthur Palmer.
"Ye 9th weekof this school this memor
andum was written, (vli) several times
James Main being ordered to make a fire
by time to begin school by he atill not re
garding but contemning ye authority of
thia achool I therefore lay these two par
ticulars before him Insisting upon his
choaelng one which shall be a rule for ye

right hand on ye 4th day of ye 7th week

and minded his book.
"Ablgal Button refused to obey in school
when required and therefore is ordered to
stand by as one not to be taught unless
her father gave bond and promised she
should behsve better."
The above Is the last entry In the list
of punishments and appllea to Mr. Hall's
grandmother, so the entry' Is cherished In
the family.
Cohtraeta of tha Master.
For each term ot achool the old school
master made a written contract, the ori
ginal or a copy of which was kept In his
diary. The first contract says:
WESTERLY, Dec. ye 16th, A. D., 17E9.

signs for."
Soma Hard Problems,
Schoolmaster kept some hard problems
in his book which he evidently gave to tha
various schools which he taught that the
schokirs might try to work them out.
Here are a few:
"There Is a sum In multiplication whose
multiplicand and multiplier Is equal unto
55,991 and there difference is equal to 62,438.
I demand the product.
"There Is a sum in division that the divi
dend and divisor is equal unto 152415788721
123152:3i"i9:068 & quotient la equal to 123456-JS7iGt321-.
I demand the dividend and Jl
visor seperate from each other." These
and other problems are worked out In the
old schoolmaster's book.
Here Is one which was worked out and
which might bother some of tha school
teachers of the present day: "In a sum of
multiplication If the difference betwixt
multiplicand and multiplier be 12346679K84197
532 and the sum of their squares be 153415
7h!W567i!t.,15n;3ir4r4(TlC13.:2 what Is the mul

"I am shonlns you my ptctograjih to shovv vtiat Newbro's

Hundreds of lady scalp specialists and hair dressers t'se and recommend Newbro's Herniclde, in
stead of products of their own manufacture upon which a much Iprger nroflt could be made. They
claim that HerpK'ide makes friends for them and gives much better Hitisfaction. Hume hair dressers
use llerpicide for obstinate cases only, but why not uae tho best first?
Herpiclde is a delightful dressing that can be usd when there is no disease of the hair or scalp,
and as an actual remedy (or dandruff, tubing scalp and falling hair it stands In a tlaBs singularly Us

Many ladles object to a gummy and sticky hair dressing, or one that is full of wdlmentary chemi
cals intended to dye the hair. The marked preference for a clean and dainty preparation, particularly
one that overcomes excessive oiliness and leaves the hair llebt and fluffy. Is reflected in the enormous
