You? Well, what would *you* do in Flat Crick deestrick, *I'd* like to know? Why, the boys have driv off the last two, and licked the one afore them like blazes. You might teach a summer school, when nothin' but children come. But I 'low it takes a right smart *man* to be school-master of Flat Crick in the winter. They'd pitch you out of doors, sonny, neck and heels, afore Christmas." <br /><br />~from THE HOOSIER SCHOOLMASTER, by Edward Eggleston (late 1800s book with good plot, good writing, and good Christianity). <br /><br />~Liberty<br /><br />"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
