THE PRIMARY thought of the early settlers in Montana was to build their homes. This re- quired a great deal of painstaking effort as the work had to be done entirely by hand. They hewed down the trees and fashioned them into logs w hich were in turn fashioned into log cabins. After the settlers had built their homes they built a school. The early school house was a crude one-room cabin, hot in summer and cold in winter. They didn ' t have the comforts and conveniences in those days that we have now. The floors of these log school houses (when they had floors) were usually of half logs with the curved side pressed into the ground. These were known as puncheon floors. The classes were composed of all ages and sizes of children and the curriculum was largely devoted to the three R ' s — readin ' , ritin ' , and ' rith- metic. The teacher was usually some man or woman from farther east with no more than a grammar school education, who had come to Montana to homestead, most of his time holding down the home- stead and taught school only when convenient. Despite all these hardships and inconveniences these schools developed steady, law-abiding citizens, who have made Montana what it is today, The Treasure State.
