Webquest Education
There was a school at the village. Both adults and children attended classes. Volunteers from the community and from the USCT helped those who wanted to learn the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic. The school doubled as a church and a place for political meetings. The school was a center of live in the village. Getting the children to attend school was a problem at times. The American Tract Society provided teachers for the school as well as books and slates. Scholars who attended the school were given a traditional New England education.
