  • Sample School Lessons from 1910 Activity # 26 Arithmetic
    SAMPLE SCHOOL LESSONS FROM 1910 ACTIVITY # 26 ARITHMETIC Math was a fundamental part of education in the early 1900s. It was necessary that the students be able to add and subtract so they could deal with simple arithmetic problems in everyday life. The teacher wrote problems on a small slate if there was no blackboard. Peas, beans, or corn were used as devices for counting, adding, or subtracting. Story problems and mental arithmetic were stressed. Multiplication tables were practiced aloud in a "singsong" fashion. Addition and multiplication of numbers with more than one figure began in the fourth grade. Your class may practice "singing" multiplication tables or even have their own ciphering match. Practice doing mental arithmetic, working problems without the aid of paper. ORAL EXERCISES – 4th Grade Level 1. I bought candy for 10 cents and a knife for 25 cents. What was the cost of both? 2. On my way into the country I passed 7 wagons and on my way home I passed 11. How many wagons did I pass in all? 3. My father has 7 Jersey cows and 9 Holstein cows. How many cows has he in all? 4.

  • MY BERKSHIRE B Y
    MY BERKSHIRE b y Eleanor F . Grose OLA-^cr^- (\"1S MY BERKSHIRE Childhood Recollections written for my children and grandchildren by Eleanor F. Grose POSTSCIPT AND PREFACE Instead of a preface to my story, I am writing a postscript to put at the beginning! In that way I fulfill a feeling that I have, that now that I have finished looking back on my life, I am begin' ning again with you! I want to tell you all what a good and satisfying time I have had writing this long letter to you about my childhood. If it hadn’t been for you, I wouldn’t have had the fun of thinking about and remembering and trying to make clear the personalities of my father and mother and making them integrated persons in some kind of perspective for myself as well as for you—and I have en­ joyed it all very much. I know that I will have had the most fun out of it, but I don’t begrudge you the little you will get! It has given me a very warm and happy feeling to hear from old friends and relatives who love Berkshire, and to add their pleasant memo­ ries to mine. But the really deep pleasure I have had is in linking my long- ago childhood, in a kind of a mystic way, in my mind, with you and your future. I feel as if I were going on with you. In spite of looking back so happily to old days, I find, as I think about it, that ever since I met Baba and then came to know, as grown-ups, my three dear splendid children and their children, I have been looking into the future just as happily, if not more so, as, this win­ ter, I have been looking into the past.

We are selling what we think is an outstanding set of ranch-bred weanlings and performance ranch horses. All these horses are bred to perform whether you need something to rodeo on, to use on a daily basis on the ranch or enjoy for trail riding, ranch horse competitions, team pen- ning or pleasure riding. Our weanlings are out of the stallions featured on pages 2 – 4. They come from lines including Docs Oak, Play Gun, Young Gun and Paddys Irish Whiskey. The other foals offered in the sale come from Robert’s Aunt Ginger and Uncle Gary DeCock. They are out of PBR Seco Bart. We are also offering foals from Enoch and Dixie Schaffer, Robert’s cousin, that are out of Romeo White Feathers. Our goal in selecting our stallions and mares is to produce horses that can perform in The Sperry Family (L to R): Marcia, Kolby, Kanon, any situation to be the “using kind.” Robert and Tamra Sperry The foals have been handled, halter broke and dewormed. Our performance horses have all been used on our ranch or on our neighbors’ ranches to drag calves to the fi re during branding, gather mares for breeding or gather calves in the fall for shipping.

  • THE TWELFTH MEETING Depend Totally on God for Our Needs
    The TWELFTH Come and hear, MEETING all ye that fear God, and 1 will declare what pje hath done for Sandy Miller my soul. Ray Pichette Psalm 66:16 Charles Ferguson Max Torkelsen II Ernest M. Wolfe Floyd L. Pichler Denise Dick Herr Tom Ish R. Dean Davis George Crumley OVER AND OVER AGAIN! GOD’S WAY, NOT MINE By Sandy Miller LY ™HUSBAND is a general contractor who for many years was successful inM his business. In the 1970s interest rates skyrocketed, and construc­ tion came to a virtual standstill. About the same time we had the opportunity to purchase a small health food distributorship, Harvest Day Wholesalers. We decided to make the transition from building to distributing health food. Building has always been my husband’s first love, and he never put his whole heart into the health food venture. When interest rates started to fall, he started building again. As his construction opportunities increased, the responsibility of running Harvest Day fell upon my shoulders. Before long I was working 16 hours a day, six days a week, taking time off only for Sabbath. My spiritual life began to suffer. I prayed, “Lord, I need You, I need to spend time with You, but I don’t know how to get off this roller coaster that I’m on.” I had litde time for family and almost no time for the Lord. God heard my cry for help, and He answered my prayer, but not in any way I expected. One day I received a letter from a man in the health food business who was interested in buying Harvest Day.

  • A History of First United Methodist Church Brownwood, Texas 1875
    A History Of First United Methodist Church Brownwood, Texas 1875-2019 A History of First United Methodist Church of Brownwood, Texas 1875 – 2019 by Frank T. Hilton October 2019 Dedication This book is dedicated to all members of Brownwood First United Methodist Church, past and present, which have helped make God’s word possible to the people of Brownwood, Texas. They have given their presents, their gifts, and their service on behalf of their faith in God and Jesus Christ to “make new disciples for Jesus Christ through helping others to know, love and serve Him.” We will never know the names of most of them, those names having been lost in the passage of time. But they served, they gave, and our community benefited from their gifts. I also dedicate this book to the many teachers of our Sunday school classes, the leaders of our youth, and our pastors and staff, who give untold hours in helping all of us to better understand our faith and how we can reach beyond the physical walls of our church to reach others in the name of Jesus Christ. As Dr. Don reminded us, “John Wesley never intended to create a denomination, he was focused on creating a movement.” This church is not a “place” but “the living body of Christ in the world today.” May we continue to reach out to others and bring them to Christ in the name of First United Methodist Church of Brownwood, Texas. Forward The history of First United Methodist Church of Brownwood, Texas began in the 1870s, however we are not sure exactly what date it started.
