Senior C a Poem The humble homes of this fair nation Where boys and girls at mother's knee First gained their education, Were cradles of our liberty. The mother taught the girl to mend, And other useful things of life. While father taught the boy to hoe And brave the hardness and the strife By word of mouth each lesson learned, No textbooks ever scanned. They never heard of Algebra, Their courses were not planned. No cap and gown awaited them. Nor diploma in their hand. For the girl, a trunk of ibeddingg For the boy, a plot of land. Then followed soon the mistress school, In a room neat and sedate. Where children learned their ABC's And two times four is eight. To this school trod each little lass Primly neat in a pinafore, Tightly clutching a battered slate As she came in the good dame's door. The master's school house followed next The little red school on the hill. With a red hot stove in winter Burning faces, while backs had a chill Those inkwells-how many a maiden uttered an angry wail, Because therein some naughty boy Had dipped a fine pigtail. The battered seats were crudely carvedg The window had a paper pane 5 The walls were smoked-stained all around And the roof let in the rain. Q U C U
