I'll set copies, or do any thing else you please, only I won't have any responsibility about the arrangements.

Or, if you wish, I'm willing to be teacher; but then, in that case, I must direct every thing, just as I think is best,--and you must do just as I say." "Well," said Isabella, "what are your orders?
We'll obey." Amos and Oliver also agreed that they would obey his directions.

Jonas then consented to take the station of teacher, and he proceeded to give his directions.
"I have been looking at the books," said he, "and I find we haven't got but one of each kind." "Then we can't have any classes in our school," said Oliver.
"Yes we can," said Jonas.

"The first evening, Amos may take the arithmetic and the slate, and cipher, while Isabella writes, and Oliver studies a good long spelling lesson.

Then, the second evening, Amos shall study the spelling lesson, and Isabella cipher, and Oliver write." "But I don't want to cipher," said Isabella.
