Rules for Teachers in 1872.
1. Teachers each day will fill lamps, clean chimneys
2. Each teacher will bring a bucket of water and a scuttle of coal for the day's
session.
3. Make your pens carefully. You may whittle nibs to the individual taste
of the pupils.
4. Men teachers may take one evening each week for courting purposes, or two
evenings a week if they go to church regularly.
5. After ten hours in school, the teachers may spend the remaining time reading
the Bible or other good books.
6. Women teachers who marry or engage in unseemly conduct will be dismissed.
7. Every teacher should lay aside from each pay a goodly sum of his earnings for
his benefit during his declining years so that he will not become a burden on
society.
8. Any teacher who smokes, uses liquor in any form, frequents pool or public
halls, or gets shaved in a barber shop will give reason to suspect his worth,
intention, integrity and honesty.
9. The teacher who performs his labor faithfully and without fault for five
years will be given an increase of twenty-five cents per week in his pay,
providing the Board of Education approves.
This is from a small town in Maine.
