1872 Rules for Teachers
The following
is a real list of rules that teachers were expected to follow in
1872.
Teachers each day will fill lamps, clean
chimneys.
Each teacher will bring a bucket of water
and a scuttle of coal for the day's session.
Make your pens carefully. You may
whittle nibs to the individual taste of the pupils.
Men teachers may take one evening each week
for courting purposes, or two evenings a week if they go to church
regularly.
After ten hours in school, the teachers may
spend the remaining time reading the Bible or other good books.
Women teachers who marry or engage in
unseemly conduct will be dismissed.
Every teacher should lay aside from each
day's pay a goodly sum of his earnings for his benefit during his
declining years so that he will not become a burden on society.
Any teacher who smokes, uses liquor in any
form, frequents pool or public halls, or gets shaved in a barber
shop will give good reason to suspect his worth, intention,
integrity and honesty.
The teacher who performs his labor
faithfully and without fault for five years will be given an
increase of twenty-five cents per week in his pay, providing the
Board of Education approves.
