Good Order in the transaction of business is so Evidently necessary, that I shall expect your assistance in pre- serving it on all occasions. As our Aim is to improve in Friend- ship and general Information every Member should strive to do something for the benefit of the whole as well as for his own Improvement. But the pursuit of Knowledge is in some respect much like many other pursuits in Life and he who makes the greatest Exertion will generally progress fastest. Although from our situation in Life we can hardly hope soon to arrive at great Eminence in the Improvement of the mind ; yet should no one be Discouraged on that Account. Let us consider that between the most learned and the most unlearned there are A great many Intermediate stations that may be filled with Honour and Credit to ourselves, and perhaps with Advantage to the Community in which we live. Nor should any Member think himself Deficient in point of genius or natural Abilities, A portion of which is given to every Man; And the great difference that is seen amongst Men arises much more from what they Acquire by their own Industry and Application than from any- thing that is Born with them. If A Man has good common Sense (and most of Men do have it) there is no doubt that he is capable of Improving to such a degree as to Cut A good figure in the world. Dr. Franklin is an Instance in point, and it is both Pleasant and Instructive to trace his rise and progress through life. From the most humble beginning he rose to the highest Honours of the state; And all in Consequence of his own Industry. Let us not despair of following his Example.

The following is copied from the notes of one of the debaters, (a bachelor) on the question: From which do we derive the most advantage, the conversation of men or women? Mr. President: It is with pleasure I rise to express my sentiments on this question. To support that sex so long held as inferior to ours, by them who are unwilling or incapable of participating in the mild benign pleasures of Female Society. Where let me ask is this boasted superior claimed by man. Is it in intellectual or moral excellance. No. I defy my op- 878 A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY. ponents to point it out, on the contrary I shall take upon me as the firm advocate of the fair sex, to establish that in this partic- ular, they are far superior to man. That the moral man is more indebted to the influence of female society for those virtues for which he is so much re- spected by society, and to which he is indebted for his happiness. Is it in his pugilistic strength or athlecticity, let them not be named in comparison with female accomplishments, or let us turn our eyes to the Esquimaux, South Sea Islands, or the frozen region of Lapland, and we shall then see the women who under- take to perform all the labors of the field as much above us in this particular, as we imagine ourselves superior to our women. Is it in the military or political line. I must confess that in general men have been superior in the art of human slaughter and procuring human misery and degradation, but even to this position a Semiramis, Baodeica, Queen Elizabeth, The Empress Catharine II and the maid of Orleans, Joan DeArc, form direct and explicit exceptions; when then I again ask is this boasted superiority to be found. I may perhaps be answered in general terms that it is in knowledge and information. On this head permit me to make a few observations, and in the first place I ask, does superior knowledge add to the happiness of man. This I question. I am convinced can only be answered in the negative, when we consider under the three following positions. I St. It does not add to our happiness because with knowl- edge, a knowledge of our wants and imperfections are encreased. without the means of satisfying or removing them. 2d. That there is no satisfaction to be received from the persuit of knowledge. A person who sets out to learn every- thing, will find that the further he proceeds the greater will his disappointment be. he can only learn his ignorance of things of which he before had no idea. 3d. that it damps his present enjoyment by the knowledge of these things which may destroy it. Pleasures are always damped by a knowledge of the various .accidents which momently hang over, ready to destroy it. not A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY. 879' perceived by the ignorant who enjoy the present good without the fear arising from the imagination of a future evil. Tn parts superior, what advantage lies, Tell (for you can) what is it to be wise. T 'is but to know, how little can be known, To see all others faults and feel our own. Condemn'd in business or in arts to drudge Without a second and without a judge. Truth would you teach to save a sinking land, All fear, none aid you, and few understand. Painful, pre eminence yourself to view, Above life's weakness and its comforts too. Virtue alone is happiness below. The only point where human bliss stands still, a conscious rectitude of intention in all our actions, that preserves; a still and quiet conscience, will never fail to secure our serenity and repose. And where is the con- versation that will be most conducive to this to be obtained, among men or women, the later unquestionably. Woman says the poet is Heavens last best gift to man. Th'o nature spread round him her primeval bloom, amidst the fragrance and serenity of Eden; Th'o the charms of earth and heaven, with the novelty of existence, conspired to en- trance his pleasures; yet amid all this profusion of delights, something seemed wanting. A langour still hung round his senses and "Man the hermits sigh'd till woman smiled." That smile alone could animate his seclusion could fill his eye with ecstacy; thrill his bosom with transport; that smile alone could harmonise the music of the groves and spread a complacency over the face of nature. Thus has providence in the very event of Creation pronounced the Society of Women essential to the happiness of man, and she who in the abodes of innocence was destined only to propi- tiate the enjoyments has become the allotted companion of vicissitude.

Heading the page with the name of the parent. The teaching appears to have been in the vicinity of The Half Hollow Hills and Huntington, as these names are entered after the parents name. We can determine in a measure the character of the peoples' occupation by the articles that were sold to the teacher. Money was very scarce in those times and the teacher was obliged to trade out his bill. If he taught for a farmer, he bought grain, for a shoemaker he bought shoes or had mending done. 894 A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY. These are some of the people for whom he taught. John Rogers, Farmer.

The book now turns up in Cedar Swamp, and in the family 896 A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY. of Adrian Hegeman 2d. He uses the vacant spaces where any were to be found, in keeping his diary. There was no regu- larity in his making the entries as the different dates were scattered all through, down close to the binding; up the date columns and in the dollar column and over the head lines. Frederick Rowe, Adrian's grandson, now seems to have become the possible holder. He was a good penman and he illustrated the work with pen and ink sketches of Indians, bears, horses and also ships. One page devoted to ships was a marvel of penmanship. Page after page the human face was pictured with just about three or four marks of the pen. Its next owner was Elbert McQueen, who was the great grand- son of the 3d Adrian Hegeman. Elbert added nothing but good care and from his sisters family, the compiler was allowed the pleasure of making a copy. The 3d Adrian had a brother Petrus who succeeded to the farm and he added a number of pages to the original book and continued the diary after the death of his father. During the time of Petrus a cider mill was built on the place (see Diary) about 1797 and up to 1820 was very generally pat- ronized by the farmers, some fifty names appearing on the account of the cider mill. This crude record appears in the book : "The oners of the Cider Mill concluded at a meeting 13 May 1 81 7 that it where proper for the hole of them to carry in the account of Cider made to the mill, to Mr. Hegeman, and each pay for making." The farmers brought the apples to the mill and made the cider and paid 3 pence per bbl to the mill owner. Aron Van Nostrand had a general supervision and a statement of receipts shows there was due him when the above resolution took effect "Due Aron on his part 17s 4d. " SCHOOLS &c. Religion and instruction went hand in hand among the Dutch. The Lords Prayer, Creed, Decalogue, morning and evening prayer, grace before and after meals. A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY. 897 The schoolmaster took the lead in setting and singing the psalm & Hymns and read the Commandments at the morning worship and the Apostles creed in the afternoon. These were all prepared in the Dutch language and continued so to be until about 1790. It was not until after 1776 that the school house appeared to have place. Then they were located in some God forsaken place and as an old writer says, where beans and buckwheat would not grow. The school master was poorly paid and one of them remarked " 'Tis little they pays me and little I teaches 'em." "He boarded around" and continued to do so until as late as 1850. The early school house was a very plain structure. Those of this people were a simple box like building covered with shingles and unpainted. Inside a small platform at one end, the desk was one continu- ous one around and fastened to the side of the room. The seats were long wood benches. All the scholars sat with their backs toward the centre of the room. The one in mind had a square cast iron stove which was put in a box of sand to prevent the floor from catching fire. Goose quill pens were the only kind known, and the master was or had to be an artist in penmaking. These are two of the copy book headings of Catherine Luyster's paper Aug. 7th 1809. "Riches serve a wise man and rule a fool." "Young men go to death but death goes to men." This Catherine was born in 1797 and on July 4th, 1879, she writes a letter to her sister Phebe the wife of Adrian Luister a portion of which is copied as follows: "Sometimes this hot weather I feel so weak and feeble I can hardly get around. I sit in my own room most of the time. I hear so little about what they are saying I may as well be alone as not. "Sometimes I think about old John Robins where we went to school. He went with his hand behind him talking all the time to himself, so I do the same thing sometimes. I went with James L. Hoogland two weeks ago to hear Rev. N. E. Smith 898 A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY. preach. I could hear every word he spoke. His winding up was so good, it was like manna to the Soul." Printed Circular Issued by George Field. To the Inhabitants of Cedar Swamp &c: Before I leave a neighborhood where I have met with so little to render it in any way agreeable, I think proper in my own justification, and as a caution to all who may succeed me, to state to you the unhandsome manner in which I have been dealt with. I sought nothing from your generosity. I asked no favor of you — but I expected justice, but your prejudices were stronger than your justice and I can only protest against such partial & uneqmtable treatment and leave it upon record that others more liberal may judge between us, or that Public opinion may shame you in future from such unjust prejudices. I was engaged to teach school at Cedar Swamp for six months with the expectation of continuing twelve, unless there were any just grounds of complaint. I brought with me a most ex- ceptional testimonial from my last school in every way satis- factory, backed by the most flattering testimonials from the places where I had lived in England from a child, vouched by a Minister & Merchant of high standing in New York; I produced specimens of my writing ; twice underwent the ordeal of exami- nation before the inspectors, which the District has appointed and all perfectly satisfactory, and yet the Inhabitants refuse to send their children to the school. The question is asked why? Hear the answers. Minerva, listen, — Thomas Underbill (a trustee) writes to me thus; "I rather thee would not give quiet as long lessons untill I see thee." I presume he was afraid his daughter should spell as well as himself . The lessons were accordingly abridged. The next complaints from that quarter were "Thee must not let the children use steel pens. — none of them. Thee must not let the Friends' children use compliments to thee." Then came Isaac Downing. "If thee lets Samuel use compliments to thee I must take him away." Then Edward Frost — "I understand my children use compliments to thee, if thee will consent to teach A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY. 899 them to say to thee Friend Field and forbid them to say Sir & Mr. and will let them write in the afternoon as well as in the morning, and use undressed quills &c I will let them come," in addition I received the following "Respected friend G. Field. At this time it is attended with some difficulty to pay much attention to the Learning of our son Marshall his lessons this season of the year therefore will please to omit it for the present it is my wish that the attention should be to reding writing & spelling, and tables &c they Friend E. L. Frost. " I presume he would teach them Spelling and Grammar himself! Next Peter Luyster's son had too long sums in addition to do, the poor Child could not reckon so high as 70 or 80 he must have shorter sums; then Andreas McQueen's boy had too hard a lesson and Jacob Willis' little girl must only say her lesson straight on, and her brother must not write his Grammar, not perform his task, and Wm. Willis' children had better have no lessons just now, and they must not learn Grammer, or Geography; Joseph Hegaman's children did not know their lessons so they were kept from school. Epinetus Nostrand's boy was to do as he liked, and if corrected was to run home. I will undertake to teach (If not interfered with) reading, writing, spelling, grammar, ciphering, geography, &c., at least as well as any District School Teacher within a hundred miles of Cedar Swamp. Here then is the ground of offense and defence. I would not be dicticted to by people utterly ignorant of the principles of Education yet having the conceit to think themselves qualified to instruct a Teacher in his duties. Not one can present anything like a reason for dissatisfaction and they know it well, but they shall be remem- bered in my orisons "Father forgive them; for they know not what they do. " To those who have done their duty they have my thanks, they need no more, the consciousness of doing right is itself a blessing. I shall bear you in remembrance a thousand miles to westward. Farewell, George Field Sometime Teacher at Cedar Swamp, L. I. October 20th, 1838 The first school house in Cedar Swamp stood near the great oak on the farm afterwards owned by Peter Luyster and now 900 A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY. owned by Townsend Bailey. It was next located in the lane between Peter Luyster's corner and Aaron Van Nostrand. This building was sold to Gideon Frost and moved to his farm and converted into a "tenant house." It is yet standing. The third one was built about 1850 on its present site. It was in the first one where the meetings of the Debating Society were held and where the letter issued by Teacher George Field was inspired. No record of the attendance has been found, but a general idea as to the names of the children may be gained in Field's letter. Register of Attendants, Wolver Hollow School, Apl. 1823 AND Aug. 1824.
