He's entitled to that, at least." Again Fielding's voice came through Dick's silence. "Yes, come up to the schoolhouse!" he said. "We can't talk here. Have you got the key, Dick? Ah, that's right." He found Dick and thrust a hand through his arm, leading him, stiffly unresponsive, across the road. At the gate Dick stopped and spoke. "Let him go in front!" he said.
The school will commence next Monday evening at the schoolhouse, beginning at seven o'clock. Terms: Seventy cents a week, or five dollars for the term of ten weeks. "Are you going to join the class, Walton?" asked Frank Heath. "Yes," said Harry, promptly. "Where'll you get the money?" asked Luke Harrison, in a jeering tone. "I shan't have to go far for it."
"But tell me, Pina, what do you mean to do with that schoolhouse when it is built?" asked Otto, as he walked beside his sister to the picturesque spot above referred to. "To teach in it, of course." "What yourself?" "Well, yes, to some extent. Of course I cannot do much in that way " "I understand the affairs of state!" said Otto, "will not permit, etcetera."
Sometimes very mischievous lads are kept in the schoolhouse during recreation time; yet even this light penalty is not inflicted directly by the teacher, but by the director of the school on complaint of the teacher.
The road from Camden is one of the best roads in the State, and for miles and miles one could see nothing but cotton and corn. At Miller's Ferry a Negro schoolhouse of ample proportions had been built on Judge Henderson's plantation.

Then they all marched into the schoolroom, saying, "Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot," and their feet made a merry stamping. After the children were all in the schoolhouse and the door was closed, a song came floating through the open windows.
Few children came in to make purchases that morning and the lines pouring into the schoolhouse were very shivery and much shorter than usual. At a quarter to twelve, the one-session bell rang. When the children came out of school at one, the snow was whirling down thicker and faster than in the morning. A high wind came up and piled it in the most unexpected places.
While yet in sectarianism I got the impression that the devil had to be stirred before a good revival could be held. Acting on this principle, I prayed that the Lord would stir the devil in the series of meetings my brother and I were then beginning at the Tennyson schoolhouse. My prayer was answered.
And we know the point at which it strikes the village. This point is at the Sloane Hotel close to the railway; the inn is actually built upon the old road. Beyond the railway the track is continued in the lane which leads on past the schoolhouse to the old ferry, where there was presumably in Roman times a ford.
