 1.  Teachers each day will fill lamps, trim the wick and clean chimneys.
 
 2.  Each morning 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 attend church regularly.
 
 5.  After ten hours in school, the teachers may spend the remaining time
reading the Bible or any 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 ship 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 his pay,
providing the Board of Education approves.
