OLD TIME SCHOOL CONDITIONS. Written for the Star and Wave by J. I ■ B. Wilaon. The following description of school 1 • •oadUioDB in this county some seventy ' yean ago, will be found very interest- ' | lag and we are glad Brother Wilson was moved to write it because it is a j i valuable contribution to the public ' | school history of the county: j i "Dear Mends: ; , Beading the report of Superintendent , Band, of the excellent condition of the | : school buildings in Cape May County, I ' i thought of the first house, and some of 1 < the teachers, who taught me the A. ! ( B. Ct || One time, I told the late John E. Bey- i born, Congressman and Mayor of the ' | City of Philadelphia, mv first school ' < days were in a log house. He said, he I ) also began going to school in a log ' j hone in the west. Ii At East Creek, now called Eldora, on [ the road from Dennis vi lie to Port Eliza- t both, was a house made with logs, size ' 26x30. The logs were notched at the j end, to hold them in place and clay was ' placed between, to protect the children i from the cold. A ten plate stove, with l pipe extended through the roof, stood v in the center of the room. Wide shelves, l extended on three sides of the room, to , hold books, elates and to accommodate r the children, for writing, and study. ) The seats were made with slabs, to , reach thd writing and study "desk," the i scholars climbed over these seats, boys c and girls sitting together. In the cen- [ ter of the room, low slab seats were t placed for the small children. The t "Master" had his d,esk near the center, \ where he could survey the whole room. • In his desk was the "Key Book," which a he often consulted. A large supply of s goose quills was kept, also the copy j books, as the master would write, or c "set the copy," for the scholars. One of .' his -qualifications was to be able to \ make a good pen from a goose quill, cs h there were no steel pens in these days, 1 The knife was called a pen knife, a t word commonly used today, in speaking f of a small knife. Near the desk was a j j hickory gad for corporal punishmen,t t With some masters scarcely a day t passed without some one's receiving a 0 flogging. It might have been called a h "flog school." A door was held in place, B by wooden hinges and wooden latch. A t string extended through the door giving h entrance to the house. One, day the tail f of a squirrel was seen coming in and b out by the latch string. JBe who after- j, wards became Captain -'Joseph Sutton t was giving a side show to the amuse- t, mcnt of the scholars and "Master." v The books need were the primer, Com-

j ly's Speller, the "Introduction to the ^ English Reader," arithmetic and geography. The spelling was done in a class I It was not a graded class, as there was h j no age limit. Young men, young women, * little boys and girls were lined up, side ^ ' by side. The "Master" gave the word, d to the one at the head of the class. If k i it was spelled incorrectly it would be ® passeij. to the tail of the class. Some- ^ | times the "Master" would have to con- d suit the "Key Book" for the correct b ' spelling. Some of tbc scholars walked " long distance to reach the school, ' among those were the Benozet children, k . One was the late Anthony Benezett of ■ Cape, May Court House. The Lees' Al- P j fonso I.ee and his brother Tom. Some ^ of the beginners at this school house ^ have excelled. Some having received a ! collegiate education. Many that I have | have "made gt>od" in the ser- si ious pursuits of life. One young lady p ' who attended the school married a prominent educator in the City of Phil- C adelphia. Large families was the rule. ~ There was no free school. The parents paid for the "schooling" of the children. school master had to board round order to get his pay. He would at the homes of his scholars, di- , viding uj( the time. There was no school of examiners to give certificates, [

and grades to teachers. Any one that could spell, read, write and cipher, was capable of teaching. One of the i masters was a middle-aged man. He was named Peter Vannips. Whence he | came and whither he went, I never i knew. He was- an astute man, who tried to discipline his school like most of the school masters of that day. He fond of his toddy. The hickory "gad" was the emblem of his authority, | and was always within his reach. The | school hours were from 8 a. m. to 4.30 i m. Five days and every other Saturday made up his time for teaching. The ■ when there was no school, he would walk six miles to a tavern and a drunk, returning on Monday to arduous labors. It was no sinecure teach a school with forty or more six to twenty-six in age. to keep I order. One Monday after he had been Dennis Creek on a spree, one of the ; noticed the master was going out of the school quite often. Suspecting had a bottle hid he obtained permission to go out and started a look for the object of his suspicions, under the A bushy poke berry grew hid view. The coveted find, a quart 1 partly filled with rum The 1 boy filled it with water and hastily reto his studies, with the thought that he had put the old master on the , water-wagon for two weeks. After Peter Vannips left, a new i school house was built and additional " studies were introduced. Grammar, geometry and other up-to-date studies, and good teachers were employed. T. B. a graduate from a Philadelphia high school, taught in the East Creek district and Edmund Hewitt taught in the West Creek school. These two teachers in later years, became prominent. Mr. Brooks became proprietor ' and editor of the "Star of the Cape," . and one of the best newspaper writers in Cape May County. Though now blind be stai ^rites for the papers occasionalEdmund Hewitt became one of the foremoet preachers in the New Jersey I

Conference, and is still preaching. At the beginning of the Civil War in 1861, the men were teachers at East Oreek and were the orators at a flag raising at Sheriff Wilson's home: The young ladies sang patriotic songs. These two men are the only ones now living who taught ' in Cape May County at. that time so • as I know. A short distance above. West Creek was the Union school, near J Christopher Hand's mill. At this house Mrs. Douglass Gregory taught when she ^ was a young lady. A few months ago she yrith others drove up in an automobile to see the old house, but it had '■ been abandoned and a new briek up-to- ' date house has taken fbe place of this old building. The scholars instead of ] walking miles to reach their schools, are whirled in autos, free transportation and tuition, with graded teachers. Of all the scholars that attended school in the old log school house at East Creek, f only three a*e now living, Joseph As- 1 brook Ooff living within a few minutes 2 walk from the site of the old house. Al- ^ fonso Lee, living at Cape May and Joseph Robert Wilson living at Cape f May. I met uncle "Tons" Lee a few weeks ago and he called me' in his familiar voice. He said "How about old Peter Vannips ami his rum, bottle?" If I was in old Ireland on the bogs, '■ I would think of the old house made ^ with logs, I would think of the old pedagogue, f Peter Vannips, * I would think of the rum bottle, from which he sipped.
