"The truth is I'm looking for a position." "A position? School teachin', mebbe?" "No, a position on a farm." "On a farm? Ha! ha! good! Position on a farm," repeated Haley. "Yes," replied Cameron. "Do you know of any?" "Position on a farm!" said Haley again, as if trying to grasp the meaning of this extraordinary quest. "There ain't any." "No positions?" enquired Cameron. "Nary one!
"What's Eddication? Did either o' you ever 'ear tell of Joseph Arch?" "Can't say we 'ave." "He was born no farther away than Barford Barford-on-Avon. But I s'pose your schoolmaster's too busy teachin' you the pianner." Tilda digested the somewhat close reasoning for a moment, and answered "It's fair sickenin', the amount o' time spent on the pianner.
And that is why," sez he, "that wimmen have all through the ages been allowed to do most all the hard work in the church such as raisin' money for church work earnin' money in all sorts of ways to carry on the different kinds of charity work connected with it teachin' the children, nursin' the sick, carryin' on hospital work, etc., etc.
"But," he added significantly, "I'd do th' countin'." "I tell ye, Hinnissy," said Mr. Dooley, "Ye can't do th' English- speakin' people. Oursilves an' th' hands acrost th' sea ar-re rapidly teachin' th' benighted Lutheryan an' other haythin that as a race we're onvincible an' oncatcheable.
Say, are you goin' to send us away? "I fear I shall have to, Jane. I'm sorry for you, for I believe you would try to do the best you could if given a chance, and I can see you never had a chance." "No," said the child, blinking hard to keep the tears out of her eyes. "I aint had no teachin'. I've jes' kinder growed along with the farm hands and rough boys. Them that didn't hate me teased me.
"I often noticed you makin' a special effort to teach puddin' heads like me somethin', an' I always thank you for it. There's a world in right teachin'. I never had any. So all I can pick up an' hammer into mine is a gain for me an' them. If my Henry had lived, an' come out anything like that boy o' yourn an' the show he made last Sunday, I'd do well if I didn't swell up an' bust with pride.

Mr. Morris looked kindly at the cabin boy.

"Spend years teachin' 'em manners an' sacrifice myself to stay at home and punish 'em when I might be jantin' 'round myself, not to have 'em turn out a credit to me."
"Would you like me to teach you English Grammar, Rita?" I repeated. "Would I? Oh! wouldn't I just!" She looked away quickly. "You wouldn't waste your time teachin' the likes of me." "I have been through college. I know something of English Grammar and English Literature. It would be the pleasure of my life to be permitted to impart some of what I know to you."
Susanna's anger cooled in a new curiosity, and she said: "You needn't bother to lead me, Madam Sturtevant, I know the ins an' outs of this old house pretty well, even if I don't come to it often.
