Beech Rods Equipment Beech or hickory rods were a part of the regular equipment of every school, says the history. Pioneers were ardent" advocates of the Biblical doctrine of "Spare the rod and spoil the child," more forcefully expressed by them in the words, "No lickin. no larnin',". Other methods of punishment also were used, of which the most picturesque was that mentioned above, of arming a culprit with leather spectacles with small holes in them and settine him to watch for another rule
breaker who would be the next wearer
of the spectacles. in one oi me rmintrv schools, also, a hole beneath
a loose floor puncheon, provided a handy imprisonment place, with no danger of escape and in absolute darkness when the puncheon was replaced. Books Handed Down. Text books were furnished by each family, and handed down from older to younger members. There was no standardization, each pupil studied hi3 subject from whatever text on - that stndv ho hardened to have. There

were either "loud" or "si
lent" the distinction being that in the loud schools every pupil was expected to study each subject aloud, while in the silent schools only geography,
spelling and one or two other sub
jects- were studied so publicly. Geography was taught by singing the names of states, their capitals and other information. Spelling was taught by the "a, b, c" method in which the spelling of syllables was first taught, and then the combination of those syllables into words. Better memory, drill in concentration, and, greatest argument of all, ease for the teacher in detecting a pupil who was
neglecting his studies, were advantages of the loud school. And woe to any pupil who day-dreamed! Ii one school he was likely to be awakened by a soaking sponge splashed into his face, after which he must return , the sponge to the pan of water at the teacher's right hand, ready for the next culprit. School Still Stands Of the early school buildings In
Hagerstown, one built in 1848, is still standing, on the east side of Plum
street. This was the first town school building not a private institution and
Joel bowen and Mr. Oldaker were
teachers in it It was used until 1860 when a two story brick , building was erected on the same lot occupied by the present building. In 1877, this in turn gave place to the" high school building now standing. The schools of Jefferson township were graded soon after 1860, under the superintendency of James McNeill, whose term lasted four years. Previous to the erection of a city
building, in 1848, school was held in private school buildings by the follow ing teachers, Mrs. Henry. 1844; Mrs. Test, 1844; Martha Test, two terms,

In 1832 another was built on the Lontz farm with blass windows and a stove and was taught by Thomas Cooper, Mr. Livingston and Ralph Murray. It was here that a teacher was in the habit of buying a regular weekly supply of a gallon of whisky, really for his own consumption, but ostensibly, as he explained to the managers of the Lontz distillery, because the children favored it so to sop their bread in. Gives Place to Log House The next school was built on the W erking and Keagy farm, and was taught by Jacob Mason and Jacob Miller. It gave place to another log house on the Heiney farm, now used as a blacksmith shop. In 1848 the first permanent school building was erected, another log structure on the C. T. Knapp farm, and used until Nos. Four and Five were built. John Miiivn
