  • THE BOOK of OUR LIVES Contents FORWARD
    THE BOOK OF OUR LIVES Schutz American School Alexandria, Egypt 2nd Printing, 1997 Scanned and Formatted, Ed Nicholas, 2015 1 | Page FORWARD In the early years of The American Mission in Egypt, which was the official title of the United Presbyterian Church of North America doing mission work in Egypt, the education of the children of the missionaries became a matter of concern. Obviously, there were no schools in the country in those early years except for the Islamic schools for teaching the Koran. Therefore, in most cases the education of these foreign children fell on the mother of each family. There were reports that at times, however, when there were several families living in the same town, one mother took the responsibility for all the children. It should not be too hard to imagine such "schools" - slates and chalk for writing and arithmetic, the Bible for reading and possibly the McGuffy Readers for somewhat more "secular" studies. And later "Calvert" became a familiar name to those using the international postal service. There have been unwritten reports that a basement room in the Assiut mission hospital complex was used for a group of children in the early 1900's. However, by the 1920's it became apparent that there was a pressing need for a "school with a full time teacher to work with the numbers of children that were filling the mission family ranks. And so the story here begins with Mrs. Bernice Warne Hutton’s recollections of her participating in the establishing and then becoming one of the first teachers in what now is known as Schutz American School, Alexandria, Egypt.
