Then, as to writin', though my hand is crabbed enough, and my pot-hooks are shaky and sprawly, still I know the shapes o' things, an' the youngsters are so quick that they can most of 'em write better than myself; but in regard to that 'rithmetic, it's a heartbreak altogether, for I've only just got enough of it to puzzle me.
Readin', 'ritin', 'rithmetic, an' mebbe sweepin' the floor at odd times an' runnin' errands?" "That's it!" answered Helmsley, still smiling. "An' they won't 'ave ye no more?" "I am too old," he answered quietly. Here Dubble turned slowly round and surveyed him. "How old be ye?" "Seventy." Silence ensued. The men glanced at one another.
Trotter was, "you've ben gettin' another lickin', I know." "O, yes," replied young Mr. Trotter; "that's one uv the reg'lar exercises lickin' me. 'Arter I've licked Trotter, sez the master, 'I'll hear the 'rithmetic class. But, mother, to change the subject, as the criminal said, when he found the judge was getting personal, is there enny arrand I can do for you?"
Back in the thirties, an individual of by no means prepossessing appearance presented himself to Judge Allen's father, the Magistrate, Ruling Elder, and ex-officio school director for his precinct, and asked permission "to keep school." Being interrogated as to what branches he could teach, the three R's readin', 'ritin', and 'rithmetic were, with apparent confidence, at once put in nomination.
But figgers won't lie noways, and it's figgers that shows this yer to be the last yer of the world, and that the final eend of all things is approachin'. I don't ask you to listen to no 'mpressions of me own, to no reasonin' of nobody; all I ask is that you should listen to the voice of the man in the linen-coat what spoke to Dan'el, and then listen to the voice of the 'rithmetic, and to a sum in simple addition, the simplest sort of addition."
Getz irrelevantly remarked, "we didn't have no gradyate teachers like what they have now, still. But we anyhow learnt more ACCORDING." "How long does it take you to get 'em from a, b, c's to the Testament?" inquired the patriarchal Dunkard. "That depends upon the capacity of the pupil," was Mr. Fairchilds's profound reply. "Can you learn 'em 'rithmetic good?" asked Nathaniel Puntz.
They were all supported by subscription, and a single teacher who was often a man or a woman incapable of teaching much, even if they imparted all they knew would have thirty or forty scholars, male and female, from the infant learning the A B C's up to the young lady of eighteen and the boy of twenty, studying the highest branches taught the three R's, "Reading, 'Riting, 'Rithmetic."
Nature shows great wisdom in sending the young in litters they educate each other, and so divide the time of the mother that attention to the individual is limited to the actual needs. Too much interference with children is a grave mistake. Patrick Henry quit school at fifteen, with a love for 'rithmetic it was such a fine puzzle and an equal regard for history history was a lot o' good stories.
But de Cure catch him as he fall, and Mathurin say: 'De children let dem come to me dat I teach dem before I die. And all de children in de church dey come close to him, and he sit up and smile at dem, and he say: "'It is de class in 'rithmetic.
"Gee, Fletch, don't you wish you had a boat like that with all the gasoline to run her?" John's brown eyes grew dreamy. "Just don't you, though! We could ride down the canal out in the Illinois River and down the Mississippi to St. Louis. No staying after school, no 'rithmetic lessons, no lawns to cut or front porches to wash on Saturdays.
