EFFIIUUS VOL. II EAST LIVERPOOL, OHIO, MAY 1911 NO. 6 Looking Backward through my bollege work that gym feeling unable to take up my pro- fession, I decided to teach school. The last days of school had been hard ones owing to poor health, so when I was offered the position of teacher in the small village of B- in the mountainous region of northern Tennessee, I decided to ac- cept. A week before the opening of school I had traveled by train to a city some 15 miles from B-, hence the rest of the distance had to be traveled by foot or on an occasional wagon which passed along, for there was no other connection with the village. The evening before the opening of school I stood on the outskirts of the village for the first time. It was a very pretty little village, nestling among the mountains, which were covered with great forests, with here and there an open place where cattle were grazing. In the foreground was a small mountain stream, flowing be- tween green pasture lands while here and there were the small homes of the inhab- itants. Only a few houses were in the midst of the village, while many more were within a distance of a few miles. Not being expected and a stranger in town I attracted a great amount of atten- tion asl walked for the first time down the only street of B-. Coming finally to an old building on which was the sign Post Office, I went in. WAS the year after I was - ' Behind a counter I saw a jovial-faced, kindly man and to him Imade my errand known. Mr. Smithton was very kind, and as it was almost supper time, took me to his home. There I met a gentle, motherly woman, who had prepared a good meal. As we sat down at the table several chil- dren came in and also took their places. There was a young man of about 18 yearsg a smaller boy and two girls. This was a very happy family and seemed to enjoy each others company. I was asked to re- main all night, for I was told that this home was the nearest to the school house. In the morning I was told that the family would be pleased to have me make their home my own during the school term and I was very glad to accept their kind offer. A short while before the school hour I went to the school house. What feelings swept over me as for the first time I saw that old school house. It stood on the edge of a small woods, and on the right was a high hill. In front of the school house was a small field in which were a great many varieties of wild flowers. Turning the key in the lock and opening the door I entered the school house. It was not unlike any old country school house, there stood the teacher's desk, the books ar- ranged in a row on a shelf nearby, here were the desks, marked by the boys and girls of other years. Examining them I found many initials cut upon them, while here and there an occassional piece of
