But this poorly dressed obscurity, with not a charm that could attract even a man of her own lowly class It was such a good joke that he would have teased Josephine about it but for his knowledge of the world a knowledge in whose primer it was taught that teasing is both bad taste and bad judgment.
As it was, the principal thing she thought of, after Mr. Wales and his wife had gone, was that the key was in the desk. However it had happened, there it was. She hesitated a moment. She was all alone in the kitchen, and her heart was in a tumult of anger, but she had learned her lessons from the Bible and the New England Primer, and she was afraid of the sin.
Yet, after these years of consideration, and days of debate, the Assembly has done no more than a parish-clerk, or an old woman with a primer, and "a twig whilom of small regard to see," would do better without its interference.
CLASS I. Reading, mental and written arithmetic, geography, penmanship, and composition. CLASS II. Reading, mental arithmetic, geography, penmanship. CLASS III. Reading, first principles of arithmetic, penmanship. CLASS IV. Primer, use of slate and pencil. The youngest children are not classified until they can put letters together in syllables.
Protestant maidens took the new English primer to church with them and studied it ostentatiously during matins. Insult passed into open violence when the Bishops' Courts were invaded and broken up by Protestant mobs; and law and public opinion were outraged at once when priests who favoured the new doctrines began openly to bring home wives to their vicarages.
After Edgar had gone, the sturdy brain and hand of D.G. Croly took the matter in charge and actually made the growth start.

He was saying little, seeing much, not yet coordinating or tabulating, but grimly bolting every morsel of enlightenment. Later, he would digest; now, he only gorged. Before he could hope to benefit by the advanced instruction of the life -classes, he must toil and sweat over the primer stages of drawing.
The year's end is traditionally the season for moralizing and retrospect. Eheu! fugaces anni is a sigh that even the Latin primer teaches us; and though in schoolbook days calling the years fugacious seems absurd, we catch the meaning as they glide away. To schoolboys the man of fifty is immoderately old: thirty marks a milestone on the downhill of life.
Then, as if moved by sudden impulse, he dived into his desk, and after ostentatious search in, on, under it, brought forth a pencil, and held it up for Emmy Lou to see. Nor did she dream that it was for this the little boy had been there since before Uncle Michael had unlocked the Primer door. Emmy Lou looked across at the pencil. It was a slate-pencil.
