Carroll
County Schools The early settlers of Carroll County were unlike those of other
counties, education was a slow growth as they were more
concerned with the
developement of their homes and then
towns, courthouse, jails then
schools. Most of the
schools established early were oftne in homes of the
settlers until actual school houses were built. The
teacher lived with
different families and often helped
with the chores of the family where he was
living at the
time. Soon they built crude log houses out of round
logs with puncheon floors, the roof being made of
clapboard secured by means of
weight poles. No nails
were used. A fire place was built into one
end of
the building which provided heat. The patrons provided the fuel,
which was cut by the bid boys of the school and the
teacher. The building
had no windows, the light came
through an opening cut in the side of the room
over which
greased paper was placed. There were no desks and chairs as we
know today, they were crude boards along the side of the
building where the
student stood to practice their writing
with quill pens. The seats were
puncheon with pegs
in them for legs. Here the teacher worked the livelong
day. He began his labors at sunrise and contined
until later in the
afternoon, dismissing the children only
in time for them to reach their homes by
dark. His
pay was generally $10 -$12 a month and was very seldom paid in
money. There were no text books, they used the New
Testament, the almanac
or the "Life of Washington" for
spelling and reading. Later the famouse
blue back
speller came into use. Publich schools did not begin until about
1839. The first district in Carroll County was
authorized by the court at
the February term, 1840.
Thomas Arnold, Edmund J. Rea aned John Standley
were
members of the courr at the time. The subjects that were tuaght after
this were reading, writing, arthimetic, georgraphy and
grammer. The earliest teachers known
