"We passed a school as we went along—one of the usual log houses, but with a plank inserted between two of the logs to serve for a desk. The more distant scholars come on horseback and tie their horses to the fence during school hours. Of course they bring their dinners with them. These forest schools seldom pretend to teach more than reading, writing, and arithmetic; if they attempt geography, it is confined to that of the United States. It was just noon as we passed; at this hour master and scholars make it a rule to play at ball so that they may return with greater zeal to their spelling." | "We passed a school as we went along—one of the usual log houses, but with a plank inserted between two of the logs to serve for a desk.
