Thursday, February 23, 2012, We decided to take a ride to Nogales, AZ to see what the border-town looked like. We also stopped at Tubac-Presideo Historic State Park. We passed Tumacacori Mission Natl. Monument since it was getting late. It looked very interesting and will be something we might go back to later when we go to the Titan Missle Museum.

1872 Instructions to the Teacher:
1. Teachers will fill lamps, clean chimneys and trim wicks each day.
2. Each teacher will bring a scuttle of coal and a bucket of water for the days use.
3. Make your pens carefully. You may whittle nibs for the individual tastes of children.
4. Men teachers may take one evening each week for courting purposes or two evenings a week if they go to church regularly.
5. After ten hours in the school the teacher should spend the remaining time reading the Bible and other good books.
6. Women teachers who marry or engage in other unseemly conduct will be dismissed.
7. Every teacher who smokes, uses liquor in any form, frequents pool or public halls, or gets shaved in a barber shop will give good reasons to suspect his worth, intentions, integrity and honesty.
8. The teacher who performs his labors faithfully without fault for five years will be given an increase of 25 cents a week in his pay -- providing the Board of Education approves.
The trip was worth it, just to laugh at these rules.
