"Rita's a good lassie," he said, "and she hasna had schoolin' except what Marget and me taught her, and that's little more than being able to read and add up a few lines o' figures. "George Bremner, you're an honest man and I like ye fine. You'll ha'e my answer by the end o' the week." "Right you are!" I exclaimed. Andrew then started in to tell Mr.
He's to go to school and learn the business, foundry and machine shops, or something like that it is; and if the boy does what's right, he's to get it all some day; Ollie and Sammy has been promised ever since the talk first began about his goin'; but they'll wait now until he gets through his schoolin'. It'll be mighty nice for Sammy, marryin' Ollie, but we'll miss her awful; the whole country will miss her, too.
"Certainly," assented the professor. "Nothing so injurious to weak eyes as too much light." "Y' 'ave put it in a nutshell," replied the priest. "Sure an' that's the rason we're opposed to gineral schoolin', an' to readin' the Bible to the children. Y' are a masther mind, Heller, an' ought to been in howly ordhers. An' that brings me to another idee av high importince.
It ain't much, but mayhap it'll buy a bit o' schoolin' for the lad some day. Ye s'ould see the braw way he'll read an' write now, sir." Sharpman sat for some time as if in deep thought.

You see, it had been his father's wish that Willie should be given the chance neither of us had ever had to get some schoolin' and have his chance in the world. I was hopin' that by the time the boy grew up I might maybe have enough to send him to college. "Of course," she added, with an air of apologizing for a weakness that went straight to the girls' hearts, "they was only dreams.
When he comes in I'll frighten him; I'll threaten to tell the Elder. He mustn't miss his schoolin', for he's real bright, ain't he? Loo? Her father sent her to the Morrises, about somethin' I don't know what." When Bancroft came downstairs, taking with him a small revolver, his only weapon, he could not find the Elder either in the outbuildings or in the stable.
Amos waited patiently until she had finished, and then went on heavily as if the pause had been intentional, not enforced. "You've got as much schoolin' as most city chaps," he said. "Much good it'll do you, I reckon. I never saw nothin' come of larnin' yet, 'cep'n worthlessness. But you'd set yo' mind on it, an' you've got it."
"Gorry! I guess ye can't tell me no news about George Marvin's schoolin'," snarled Seth Wilber "me, that's got a son Tim what was in the same class with him. Why, once the teacher set 'em in the same seat; but Tim could n't stand that what with the worms an' spiders an' he kicked so hard the teacher swapped 'round."
My faither deed, puir man, when I was but a bairn of eleven he was but thirty-twa himself. And my mither was left with me and six other bairns to care for. 'Twas but little schoolin' I had. After my faither deed I went to work. The law would not let me gie up my schoolin' altogether.
Even wife an' me, thet's been knowin' him f'om the beginnin', not only knowin' his traits, but how he come by 'em, though some is hard to trace to their so'ces, why, sir, even we have to study sometimes to keep in with him, an' of co'se a teacher why, it's thess hit an' miss whether he'll take the right tack with him or not; an' sometimes one teacher'll strike it one day, an' another nex' day; so by payin' schoolin' for him right along in all three, why, of co'se, ef he don't feel like goin' to one, why, he'll go to another.
