THE HISTORY OF ST. LUKE'S CHURCH, MARIETTA, OHIO By. Wilson WATERS, M. A. - With Illustrations by: Harry EGGLESTON Printed for the Author by J. Mueller & Son, Marietta, Ohio 1884 For historical and genealogy purposes only. Names have been capitalized for easy identification. pg. 218-220 THE PAROCHIAL SCHOOL In 1836 the Rector reported to the Bishop fifty scolars and two teachers in the Parochial school. These teachers were Miss Julia CLARKE and Professor BELL, both of whom wre from Wheeling. Mr. WHEAT kept a register of this school and with it a record of the Sunday school. He was a very successful teacher. His scholars were taught good manners and neatness of person and dress as well as to read and to write. If a boy came to school with his shoes nicely blacked and his hair well brushed, he recieved a mark of meerit; he was encouraged and others stimulated to do the like. One who went to Mr. Wheat’s school and is still living in Marietta, declares that he was the best teacher that ever went inside a school-house. Testimonials of approbation wee distributed each week to those entitled to them. These were of a red color. Similar tickets on white paper were given to those not of the highest excellence. The red tickets and the certificates presented at the end of the term read thus: ST. LUKE’S PAROCHIAL SCHOOL Testimonial of ‘entire approbation.’ To. E. FcFARLAND. J. Thos.
