 * 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.

 * 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 get shaved in a barber shop will give good 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 higher pay, providing the Board of Education approves.
