Pioneer School section and I think it is a really great addition!
Rules for Students (1915)
1. Respect your schoolmaster. Obey him and accept his punishments.
2. Do not call your classmates names or fight with them. Love and help each
other.

4. Be silent during classes. Do not talk unless it is absolutely necessary.
5. Do not leave your seat without permission.
6. No more than one student at a time may use the outhouse.

are bare.
8. Bring firewood into the classroom for the stove whenever the teacher
tells you to.
