THE 
HOOSIER 
SCHOOL- MASTER. 
By EDWARD EGGLESTON. 
Finely Illustrated, with 12 Full-Page 
Engravings, and Numerous Other 
Cuts. 
“Jim Phillips was a tall, 
lank, stoop-Bhouldered fellow, 
who had never distinguished 
himself in any other pursuit 
than spelling. Except in this 
one art of spelling lie was of 
no account. He could not 
catch well or bat well in ball. 
He could not throw well 
enough to make bis mark in 
that famous Western game of 
lillll.nnn TJo tinl onnonail 
JEKMS PHILLIPS. 
bull-pen. He did not Bucceed 
well in any study but that of 
Webster's Elementary. But 
in that lie was—to use the 
usual Flat Creek locution—in 
that he was‘a hoss.’. . . Bud 
Means, foreseeing that Ralph 
would he pitted against Jim 
Phillips, had warned his friend 
that Jim could ‘ spell like 
thunder and lightning,’ and 
that it ‘ took a powerful smart 
speller ’ to heat him, for he 
knew ‘ a heap of spelling- 
hook.’ To have‘spelled down 
the master’ is next thing to 
having whipped the biggest 
bully in Hoopole County, and 
Jim bad ‘spelled down’ the 
last three masters. He divided 
the hero-worship of the dis¬ 
trict with Bud Means." 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
More than one “Yankee school-marm ” now laboring in 
the West will both smile and weep over scenes which find 
their counterpart in their own daily experience. There is 
no exaggeration in style or incident; indeed, tlie book 
should be many times larger ere Edward Eggleston laid 
aside a pen wbicli had told but half tlie joys or trials which 
await a Hoosier school-master. This is one of those books 
that will live, and future years will give tlie story an added 
charm and pathos, and its author undying tume—American. 
Housewife. 
Eggleston’s “Hoosier School-Master" is full of rich and 
racy humor, and makes us regret that its author lias turned 
his back to tlie pulpit, in which wit is needed quite ns much 
as wisdom, and the ability to make men laugh is only less 
valuable than tlie power of making them weep. I 11 fact, as 
a general tiling, lie who can not raise a smile on people’s faces 
may pump in vain for tears.—Golden Age, N. Y. 
Dr. Eggleston lived as a hoy in this region (Southern In¬ 
diana), and this book is a faithful witness that tlie impres¬ 
sion made upon his mind by "its social peculiarities remains 
to this day perfectly distinct and legible. Indeed, we have 
rarely read any story whose truthfulness ns a picture of life 
was more apparent. Tlie characters are clearly drawn ; the 
conversation is natural; the whole view of the backwoods 
society is consistent and lifelike.—iV. Y. Independent.
