children have been distributed among the families of the Parish, and they come to the Parish school building, where Dr Easter is Supt. and Teacher and Miss Bird Teacher
January 21st
I visited the school of Miss Bird this morning. She has about sixteen scholars ranging in age from six to twelve years- they study spelling, reading, writing, geography & grammar according to ability, and the girls are skilled in sewing several afternoons in each week. 
Miss Bird states that she had a larger school before Christmas and that she expected more scholars daily. Dr Easter is sick and unable to be present now but usually spends two or three hours in this school every day.
