A spelling school was a contest between two schools carried on upon the above principles, with social features at the close of the spelling match. These contests, usually very friendly, stim- ulated study and research and were instrumental of an untold amount of good. All had to spell, and if a six foot boy missed and a bright-eyed girl of ten years knew the word, the boy had to step aside and allow the little girl to go above him.
Singing schools were often held in the schoolhouse during the winter evenings. The singing master conducted, and with baton to beat out the time, and tuning fork to give the pitch, he thus taught the elements of music to very large classes. These schools would usually close the season with a grand concert, thus defraying the expenses of the school. Mr. Thomas McGinnis was for years Jericho's most celebrated singing master, a service of inestimable value to our people.
Through the courtesy of the Jericho Reporter I am allowed to give the reader a very reliable idea of the manner of support- ing schools in "ye olden days," and in this connection another paper from the same source in regard to highways.
PAPERS RELATING TO PUBLIC AFFAIRS.
In looking over the papers in an old desk which belonged to Milton Ford, father of the late Addison M. Ford, were found many papers relating to public affairs, among which was a school bill. In those days the school tax was paid on the number of days schooling. If the scholars did not attend school the tax was less. Following is a copy of the School Bill for the win- ter 1843 made by M. Ford Com .:

There was also found among the papers in the old desk a plan of the schoolhouse at Jericho Corners which was burned Jan. 1, 1835. The plan indicated a building "23 feet by 26 feet." The seats were placed around the room, leaving a space in the center of 10 feet 8 inches by 10 feet 4 inches. Back of the seats was a "writing table." The entrance to the schoolroom was made at one corner of the building.
In an old pocketbook of Mr. Ford's was found a slip of paper telling the original "cost of brick meeting-house," $3,472.79.
ANCIENT DOCUMENT FOUND.
Another ancient document found in the old desk of Milton Ford was a highway tax-book for District No. 3, for the year 1828. The book was directed to Milton Ford and David Oakes, the highway surveyors or collectors for District No. 3 in Jericho. The tax was made on the list of 1827 at six cents on the dollar by the selectmen, Lyman Hall and W. A. Prentiss. The war- rant for the collection of the tax reads as follows :
"State of Vermont, Chittenden County, To Milton Ford and David Oakes, highway surveyors or collectors of the High- way Tax for District No. 3, in Jericho in said County for 1828.
"By the authority of the State of Vermont, you are hereby commanded to levy and collect of the several persons named in
335

the list or rate bill herewith committed to you, the sum of money annexed to the name of each person respectively, and ap- ply the same in repairing the highways within the limits of your district agreeably to law.
"And if any person should refuse or neglect to pay the sum in which he or she is assessed in said rate bill, you are hereby com- manded to distrain the goods, chattels or estate of such person so refusing, and the same dispose of according to law for the satis- fying the said sums with your own fees and for the want there of you are hereby further commanded to take his or her body, and him or her commit to the keeper of the gaol in Burlington, in said County of Chittenden, within said prison, who is hereby commanded to receive said persons and him or her safely keep, until he or she pay said sums so assessed with legal costs, to- gether with your own fees or be otherwise discharged or re- leased according to law.
"Given under my hand at Jericho in said County of Chit- tenden, this 26th day of April in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty-Eight. T. Barney, Jus- tice of Peace.
"The assessed taxes vary in amount from 14c. to $6.24. The total amount of the taxes being $109.05. The names of the taxpayers are : Prentiss Atkins, Peter L. Allen, Truman Barney, Sylvanus Blodgett, John Bliss, Thomas C. Barney, Aaron Brow- nell, Martin C. Barney, Lucius Barney, Augustus W. Dow, Aaron Drew, John Deleware, Joseph Fairfield, Milton Ford, Jotham Glavin, Daniel L. Glines, George Howe, Tillison Hapgood, Brigham Howe, Henry Howe, William Johnson, Fletcher W.

Pot- ter, Sylvanus Richardson, Thomas D. Rood, Lewis Rood, Sec- retary Rawson, William Rouse, Ariel Stevens, Joseph Sinclair, B. F. Taylor, Thomas M. Taylor and Stoten Willis."
In 1872 there was a movement started by A. O. Humphrey ' to erect a suitable building at Riverside in which to manufacture cheese. Mr. Humphrey, however, changed his plans and moved to Burlington.

HISTORY OF JERICHO, VERMONT.
The enterprise of building a cheese factory was success- fully accomplished in 1873 by Whitcomb and Day. This fac- tory did an immense business for many years under their man- agement and upon Mr. Day's going to New York, the manage- ment was continued by Mr. Edward S. Whitcomb, Jr., until the creamery business seemed to have gained the ascendency. (For a further description of this cheese factory see Day genealogy and Mr. Wilbur's Historical Address).
A commendable interest has ever been manifested by the citizens of Jericho in the up-keep of its various cemeteries. At Jericho Center and at Jericho Corners the citizens have ideal organizations, well endowed. In these the grass is kept green and closely shorn. These cemeteries are otherwise beautified with flowers and plants, shubbery and trees. Most of the funds have been given the Cemetery Associations direct: other citi- zens have placed money with the town authorities as the follow- ing clippings from town reports will show.
THE C. M. SPAULDING CEMETERY FUND.
Mr. C. M. Spaulding, born in this town in 1827, a long and time honored resident, gave to our town by will $1,000, upon condition that the town expend, in perpetuity, $40 an- nually (4 per cent. interest), upon two cemeteries in town, viz .: one-half upon cemetery at the Corners, so-called, and one-half upon cemetery at the Center. In each cemetery his own fam- ily burial lots to receive first attention, the expenditures to be under the direction of the selectmen, and their accounts to be audited annually by town auditors as other accounts are audited.
In the administration of the Fund, your Auditors find that the money was loaned to the School Directors' Account by the Selectmen of 1901, and that of the income of the Fund this year, amounting to $40, there has been expended $35 according to the provision of the gift. The remaining $5 to be expended in the early spring.
THE MRS. MIRANDA HALL CEMETERY FUND.
Mrs. Miranda Hall, for a long time a resident of Jericho Center, gave the town the sum of $100, April 12, 1904, with the
337

following conditions. That the interest, $4 per annum, be ex- pended in care of her lot in the Jericho Center Cemetery with the understanding that any balance be used for the general care of the cemetery, expenditures to be under the direction of the Selectmen.
The Auditors find at this date there have been no receipts from this fund, and no expenditure.

Auditors.
February 5, 1905.
In our trip about town we have seen the grass come to ma- turity and have witnessed the wonderful ingathering of the hay- ing season. Intensive farming is producing marvelous crops of hay, which is the principal fodder for cattle and horses. In some sections alfalfa is becoming rooted, which yields more plentifully than any other fodder. Large fields of oats are being harvested, very little wheat, rye, or buckwheat is raised in town. Corn is a very important crop, often to be husked, but much of it is raised for silage. The potato is a very important crop, while peas and beans are not raised in large quantities.
Very fine apples, pears, cherries and other fruit are produced in town as well as the various berries. No statistics of the above productions of our town are obtainable.
HUSKING BEES.
It used to be a custom, when the evenings grew longer, for neighbors to turn in of an evening and help each other along in the matter of husking corn. Sometimes the ladies received an invitation to accompany the men. After a few hours of busy work husking corn, all betook themselves to the house where the women of the household had provided pumpkin pies and cheese. To them a good appetite proved to be the relish, and we of today would need to draw upon our imagination to fully realize how enjoyable were these old time "husking bees."
Time is hurrying us along to the 15 or more days usually comprising the deer season, or the period in which licensed hunt- ers can shoot the deer.
338
HISTORY OF JERICHO, VERMONT.
This season is usually the last days of October sometimes extending into November, during which time the woods are full of hunters, and the finest of game is often brought home. This is a great day for the Jericho youngster who may be observed stealthily working his way along the deer runs, in search of that much talked of deer, the image of which rises before his vision at each noise and unusual sound. And then if successful how proud his return home, where the savory venison cheers and satisfies the entire household. No sport quite equals that of deer hunting.
Soon the long winter is with us. But this season even is not devoid of interest to the people of our town. For the young there is skating, coasting and skiing and long sleigh rides, and for all enjoyable gatherings for social, literary and other purposes.
The mill yard filled with logs as represented in the accom- panying cut is the property of our enterprising Town Treasurer, E. B. Williams, who has built a commodious and up-to-date mill near the Homer Rawson farm. Possibly too little importance is attached to the mill property throughout town. They are, how- ever, utilizing the timber growth to good advantage and giving employment to many families, and they have been and are very essential to the development of the town's resources. The Steam Mill at Riverside, first built by Gilbert and Robinson in 1876, has an interesting history. Messrs. Gilbert and Robinson did not operate the mill very long and closed out their interests to a syndicate of citizens who formed an organization to continue the business. Thus the mill was operated by different men until it came into the hands of Whitcomb & Day. This enterprising firm greatly developed the business as may be seen by a reference to the Day genealogy. In 1888 Ex .- Gov. U. A. Woodbury pur- chased the property as an accessory to the E. J. Booth Lumber Co., Burlington, Vt. It was managed by Theron H. Porter, and D. W. Knight, and later purchased by D. W. Knight, who operated it very successfully for several years. Mr. Knight in 1910 sold to H. B. Howard, the present owner.
The mill has been burned three times, once with E. J. Booth, once with Terrill & Knight, and once with H. B. Howard. The mill has always furnished employment to a large number of men and has afforded a good market for the lumber of this and near-

by towns. For further description of the Steam Mill see Day genealogy.
The logging business also is a means of support for many of our citizens. There have been times when the waste must · have been great in connection with clearing lands; but not so much waste now. Lessons in reforesting the denuded hills are being taught us and ways of conserving the woody growth are being learned by our people, so that the cut of lumber some years hardly equals the growth, and thus it is expected that home supply of many kinds of lumber can be made perpetual. Almost every farmer gets out some lumber each winter for repairs and to sell. From three to four million feet are sold annually in Jericho. Now because of the returning sun the snow begins to melt, and the sugar season is ushered in. According to the town records Jericho has 60,306 maple trees, of which 37,557 were tapped last year and from which were made 37,105 pounds sugar and 9,755 gallons of syrup at a value of $11,514.00. Had all the trees in town been tapped, another $10,000.00 approximately would have been received by our people. It would be both in- teresting and instructive to note in this connection the great im- provement in equipment and methods of making sugar, but space forbids anything but the briefest reference. The wooden trough has been replaced by a neat tin or metal bucket with cover. Only one tiny puncture in the tree now for the spout which also sup- ports the bucket, instead of the huge cut with the axe. The . methods of evaporation have been greatly perfected, conserving fuel and time and producing a genuine maple sweet that is much sought after in the markets of the world. There is no choicer sweet known than the early runs of maple syrup produced by the farmers of Jericho. In anticipation and realization the sugaring season is richly enjoyed by young and old.
Now, the object of our ramble being accomplished, we con- clude this chapter with a brief reference to Mt. Mansfield, which is located in other towns, yet its picturesque beauty is our inherit- ance and a common possession. Upon its ponderous sides are to be found the sources of Brown's River and of Lee River. The rocky summit with its cooling atmosphere seems to attract thither the moisture burdened clouds and holds them oftimes till their
340

contents are fully discharged, to water the valleys below, a bless- ing of greatest value to our own townspeople.
The largeness of its proportions seems to suggest stability, sturdiness and character. The everchanging shades of its forest covered sides, its glimmers, and reflections together with the shadows of passing clouds in fair weather make it an object of beauty rarely surpassed; when covered by storm clouds streaked with the lightning's flash there comes to us, with its thunder and roar, a feeling of awe and sublimity. In the morning its first sight seems to inspire us with the splendid possibilities of a new day, while the gilded sunset teaches us gratitude.
Just a brief quotation in closing from the pen of Cassius A. Castle :
"Ye grand old magnificent piles I delight on your summits to gaze, When the spruce in its verdure smiles O'er the home of my boyhood's bright days."
