	Charles Dickens : The Old Curiosity Shop : Chapter 25
		The poor schoolmaster appeared to be gratified by her earnest manner, but yet rendered more uneasy by it, for he added hastily that anxious people often magnified an evil and thought it greater than it was; 'for my part,' he said, in his quiet, patient way, 'I hope it's not so.
		As the schoolmaster, after arranging the two forms in due order, took his seat behind his desk and made other preparations for school, the child was apprehensive that she might be in the way, and offered to withdraw to her little bedroom.
		The schoolmaster looked round upon the other women as if to entreat some one among them to say a kind word for him, but they shook their heads, and murmured to each other that they never thought there was much good in learning, and that this convinced them.

	Locke Amsden, or The Schoolmaster (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Schoolmasters of the time often had no more than a district school education themselves and might be as young as 16 when they began teaching.
		By showing how unusual it is to have a college educated schoolmaster in a district school and also the community's reluctance to pay a qualified teacher a decent wage, the author shows that the schoolmasters' ignorance is a byproduct of communities' stinginess.
		It was typical for schoolmasters to have to prove their physical mastery over their students early in the term, and since the older students might be in their 20's, that could be very difficult.

		It is late autumn; the schoolmaster comes up to Nordistuen, opens the outer door, finds no one at home; opens another, finds no one at home; goes on and on to the innermost room of the long building, and there sits Ole Nordistuen alone by the bed, looking at his hands.
		Shortly after, the schoolmaster, Thore and his wife arrived; the old man had candles on the table which was covered with a white cloth; wine and ale were produced, and he himself went round continually, lifting his legs higher even than usual, but always lifting the right foot higher than the left.
		The schoolmaster himself led the singing that day as his assistant was ill. His voice was cracked now, for he was old; but Eyvind thought it did one good to hear him.

		The complainant claimed that the schoolmaster declared that he was not suitable for the teaching performance, and disregarded the opinion of an education expert.
		On one occasion while the schoolmaster was in his class, he did not permit the teacher to distribute tests to the pupils.
		In our view it is important that a schoolmaster checks on the work of teachers, this is not only a right of a schoolmaster, but, according to Article 55 (2) of the Act on Public Education it is also his or her obligation.

	Not a Fairy Tale
		The schoolmaster was tall, and thin, with dark eyes which would change colour as his passion rose when he was reaching the goal of the lesson.
		The schoolmaster was a keen judge of character, and though he feared for his position if he did not do what the prince asked he was also certain the prince did not lie with his words.
		The schoolmaster readied himself, readied his mind to accept his prince into him, whether he be bent over or on his knees; it mattered not—he had promised a pleasure and he would willingly grant it.

		But the schoolmaster soon noticed that it was not the old Eyvind who learnt his lessons as a matter of course, and played as a matter of necessity.
		When they drew near the farms, the schoolmaster turned off towards one which lay in the middle, and as they advanced they heard shouts and sounds of merriment proceeding from it.
		The schoolmaster stood as though waiting for an answer; receiving none, he shook his head, and they went indoors.

	Northvegr - Summer Legends
		One day, during one of his expeditions, the schoolmaster came to an out-of-the-way valley; through it flowed a brook, which turned a mill; and as he was thirsty, he asked the old woman, who was sunning herself before the door, if she would give him a drink.
		Then the schoolmaster wondered whether the maiden were ugly; but he could not quite make out through his gray spectacles; and he could not take off the spectacles, because he thought the sunlight would hurt his eyes.
		One day, when the schoolmaster had left the mill and was going along the edge of the meadow, he noticed a mole, caught in a snare, kicking and struggling to escape death on the gallows.

		After a long time, the schoolmaster appeared at the wicket-gate of the churchyard, and hurried towards them, Tingling in his hand, as he came along, a bundle of rusty keys.
		The schoolmaster swept and smoothed the ground before the door, trimmed the long grass, trained the ivy and creeping plants which hung their drooping heads in melancholy neglect; and gave to the outer walls a cheery air of home.
		Having disposed of this culprit, the bachelor turned to another, and from him to another, and so on through the whole array, laying, for their wholesome restriction within due bounds, the same cutting emphasis on such of their propensities as were dearest to his heart and were unquestionably referrable to his own precept and example.

	The Schoolmaster
		Meantime, it was known on the Line that their schoolmaster had received no salary for his services at Brockville because he was alleged to have charged tuition fees from the parents.
		The reason for this omission lies in the fact that his schoolmaster's salary was not paid from the civil list but from the military.
		If choice must be made, however, between the reports of his severity and this one of his laxity in discipline, one would probably find in favour of the former his stern attitudes on matters other than pedagogical are in keeping with his grandson's description of him in the school-room as "a very severe teacher".

		The schoolmaster of this tale is not the minimally educated, marginally competent pedagogue who is the subject of so many fictional portrayals of the time.
		The schoolmaster is the hero of this tale in all meanings of the word.
		The schoolmaster is a kind of educational missionary who finds his flock in the bondage of ignorance, shows them the enlightened road to knowledge and understanding, then is saved from the evil forces of the community by one of his grateful converts.

		The report in the morning was, that the child was better, but was extremely weak, and would at least require a day’s rest, and careful nursing, before she could proceed upon her journey.
		The schoolmaster received this communication with perfect cheerfulness, observing that he had a day to spare — two days for that matter — and could very well afford to wait.
		The plain, frank kindness of the honest schoolmaster, the affectionate earnestness of his speech and manner, the truth which was stamped upon his every word and look, gave the child a confidence in him, which the utmost arts of treachery and dissimulation could never have awakened in her breast.

	Charles Dickens : The Old Curiosity Shop : Chapter 46
		Casting a look upon him, half-reproachful and half-compassionate, the schoolmaster took the child in his arms, and, bidding the old man gather up her little basket and follow him directly, bore her away at his utmost speed.
		Sometimes walking for a mile or two while her grandfather rode inside, and sometimes even prevailing upon the schoolmaster to take her place and lie down to rest, Nell travelled on very happily until they came to a large town, where the waggon stopped, and where they spent a night.
		So, the happy schoolmaster put on a bran-new pair of gloves which he had carried in a little parcel in his pocket all the way, and hurried off, full of ardour and excitement.

	The Old Curiosity Shop - Charles Dickens
		And so indeed it was, for the schoolmaster had ordered it to be put down, and it was getting on so well that the doctor might have smelt it if he had tried; perhaps he did.
		The poor schoolmaster was so open-hearted, and so little versed in the most ordinary cunning or deceit, that she could not have failed to succeed in the first five minutes, but that he happened to be unacquainted with what she wished to know; and so he told her.
		A bargain was soon struck when the waggon came; and in due time it rolled away; with the child comfortably bestowed among the softer packages, her grandfather and the schoolmaster walking on beside the driver, and the landlady and all the good folks of the inn screaming out their good wishes and farewells.

		He and the child were on the point of going out together for a walk, and without relinquishing her hand, the schoolmaster hurried away, leaving the messenger to follow as she might.
		They entered a room where a little group of women were gathered about one, older than the rest, who was crying very bitterly, and sat wringing her hands and rocking herself to and fro.
		The schoolmaster took a seat beside him, and stooping over the pillow, whispered his name.

		Certainly Holofernes was not the ideal schoolmaster of Ascham's mold, and he was definitely the opposite of what Bacon proposed a teacher should be.
		It is curious that just as the schoolmaster and the curate have been talking about females, one appeared: "a feminine soul saluteth us." Enter Jaquenetta, the temptress of Costard and Armado, accompanied by the former.
		Throughout the analysis of the schoolmaster, Holofernes, we have encountered a man with a rapier-like wit who was in constant war-like conflicts with other characters.

	“Priest and Teacher, Pastoral Conflict in Earl Lovelace’s The Schoolmaster”
		In the novel, the pastoral perspectives of the priest and schoolmaster on this remote Trinidadian village reveal the post-colonial root of the novel’s tragic consequences as well as celebrate the regenerative powers of the pastoral mode and the rural community Lovelace portrays.
		From the moment the priest saw the schoolmaster, he noted the man’s "hypocritical smile," which resembles his own feigned benignity, his alter mask, and he quails at the sight of Winston’s leading the newly-organized chorus in "Come Holy Ghost" to greet Vincent’s arrival.
		She fears that either her father or Pedro will kill the schoolmaster, as is their right according to the traditions the village has upheld.

	Chapter 21 - THE NIGHT-SCHOOL AND THE SCHOOLMASTER
		The reading class now seated on the form in front of the schoolmaster's desk, consisted of the three most backward pupils: Adam would have known it, only by seeing Bartle Massey's face as he looked over his spectacles, which he had shifted to the ridge of his nose, not requiring them for present purposes.
		The face wore its mildest expression: the grizzled bushy eyebrows had taken their acute angle of compassionate kindness, and the mouth, habitually compressed with a pout of the lower lip, was relaxed so as to be ready to speak a helpful word or syllable in a moment.
		So here he was, pointing his big finger towards three words at once, and turning his head on one side that he might keep better hold with his eye of the one word which was to be discriminated out of the group.

	Synopsis - Progress
		Each letter that Harriet creates becomes progressively more bold, and the encouraged schoolmaster follows her lead, expressing his feelings for Ellen, whom he believes to be his secret sweetheart.
		The story's early scene of the spelling bee, in which he first becomes smitten with Ellen, is a comic yet telling ex-amination of American language usage, how words begin to reflect the uneasy alliance between frontier and civilization in a new country.
		The young lady's letters, which the schoolmaster needs to exonerate himself, turn up in the ceiling of the stage, and Harriet, due to her fancy penmanship and ornate diction, is exposed as their creator.

		As we passed the side of the building appropriated to the use of the boys, I suggested the propriety of making a last inquiry of the schoolmaster, whom we might presume to be, in virtue of his office, the most intelligent man in the place.
		The schoolmaster was sitting at his high desk, with his back to me, apparently haranguing the pupils, who were all gathered together in front of him, with one exception.
		Although Miss Halcombe did not seem to be convinced, she evidently felt that the schoolmaster's statement of the case was too sensible to be openly combated.

		he schoolmaster of Chestnut Ridge was interrupted in his after-school solitude by the click of hoof and sound of voices on the little bridle path that led to the scant clearing in which his schoolhouse stood.
		Being a childless couple, however, while they generously contributed to the support of the little school, they had not added to its flock, and it was with some curiosity that the young schoolmaster greeted them and awaited the purport of their visit.
		Relieved and pleased to help the good-natured couple in the care of the homeless waif, albeit somewhat doubtful of their religious methods, the schoolmaster said he would be delighted to number her among his little flock.

		As he returned the artist's friendly grasp, the schoolmaster scanned his face with some of the old sharpness.
		Firstly, he well knew that the few shillings were what the schoolmaster must depend on for that week's living.
		Jan was far too glad of this seasonable addition to the feast to suggest doubts of its acceptance; indeed, he ventured on a hint about a possible lack of wine-glasses, which Master Chuter quickly took, and soon filled up his basket with ancient glasses on bloated legs, a clean table-cloth, and so forth.

		At the top of the first form - the post of honour in the school - was the vacant place of the little sick scholar, and at the head of the row of pegs on which those who came in hats or caps were wont to hang them up, one was left empty.
		But all these taunts and vexations failed to elicit one word from the meek schoolmaster, who sat with the child by his side - a little more dejected perhaps, but quite silent and uncomplaining.
		The two old friends and companions - for such they were, though they were man and child - held each other in a long embrace, and then the little scholar turned his face towards the wall, and fell asleep.
