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
