All of these teachers have long since disappeared from the township with the exception of Mr. Musser, who is still living in the district where fourty (''sic'') years ago he taught the first free school. About that time, between teaching, Mr. Musser laboured in clearing off the ground now occupied by the beautiful yard and edifice of "The [[Smithville High School]]," where since he has permanently established himself under the distinction of the "far famed master of chirography." For about fourteen years after the establishment of free schools in Green, there was taught nothing above Orthography, Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. Many a youth quite finished his course without the faintest idea of anything higher. If a young man then could read, write, and work to the "Single Rule of Three," in the Western Calculator, he was considered a scholar of the highest order.
