Excerpt from Old Times in Dixie Land: A Southern Matron's MemoriesWe often had friends and schoolmates to spend the day or night at Cottage Hall; but when these visits were returned we were always accompanied by our mar ried sister or some equally responsible chaperone. We complained much of this rigid rule, yet I now think it was a wise exaction that every night should find us sheltered under the home roof. My father had no pa tience with the innocent irtatious of young people; he thought such conduct implied a lack of straight forward honesty which was inexcusable. Few men can understand the temptations of a young girl's environ ment, which sometimes cause her to make promises in good faith that cannot be carried out, and my father had no pity on one who so doted on general admiration that she was unwilling to contract her life into a simple home with one true, brave heart. Such an one, he thought, deserved to become a lonely old maid and hold a pet dog in her arms, with never a child of her own, because she had turned away from her highest vocation - and all for pure vanity and folly.My stepmother was a gifted woman. She was born in Wilbraham, Massachusetts, in 1790, and died July 25th, 1876. She had come South by the advice of Dr. Wilbur Fisk, and was instrumental in bringing into Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana over sixty accomplished teachers, she herself having been at the head of success ful schools in New York, Baltimore, Tuscaloosa and.Washington. The calling of teaching she gave up when she married my father, but the cause of education in the South was greatly promoted by her inuence, for which reason she has been compared to Mary Lyon of New England.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
