The patchwork classroom is very basic.

A blackboard, several stoves, dozens of desks.

The kettle on the red stove was steaming white, and the temperature in the whole house was not very low. However, the poor airtightness caused the convection of the heat inside the house and the cold air outside, and a lot of wind blew.

Although the actual temperature is not very low, the perceived temperature is not high.

Children near the walls, even their hair was messy in the wind.

However, everything needs to be compared.

Although there is no shortage of cheap fuel in the United States this year, it is impossible for ordinary people to heat their homes 24 hours a day.

All these children can do after their parents go to work is to wrap themselves in quilts, lean against the corner of the room, and wait for their parents to return.

Eat a mouthful of cold potatoes when you are hungry, and drink a sip of glaciated water when you are thirsty.

At a young age, I often have stomach pains.

Although, in this day and age, stomach problems that do not die are not considered diseases.

And in this classroom, although it was a little windier, at least it wasn't cold. It's not yet time to eat, but if you want to drink water, you can pour a steaming cup from the kettle on the stove.

Of course, the most important thing is that the parents say that they can eat enough when they come here.

Doug stood on the podium, looked at the dozens of children in the middle of the stage, who seemed to be in the poor mountainous area, and began to give them their first lesson.

These children may be able to speak, but they are illiterate, and they are slowly taught from the first letters, and Doug, who is not from a professional class, looks at the children who can't remember simple letters, and gradually begins to get irritable.

Although these children are poor and sensible relatively early, although it is the first day, they try to think of listening to lectures and learning knowledge, but they really can't learn.

Children have less time to concentrate and even less time to concentrate in lessons that they don't understand and are not interested in.

Doug barely finished the morning with a thirty-minute lesson.

When it was time to eat, the children came alive.

Although it was just a working meal for ordinary workers, it was already hearty for the children.

It was so rich that for the sake of the food he ate again, he even listened to Doug's lectures much more seriously.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, it had already begun to get dark, and the children were out of school.

For the kids, the day is over, but for Doug, there's still a lot to do.

Claydon Printing & Dyeing Works, Tom & Doug Chemicals, Winchester Arms, and the New Haven Times, although Doug is willing to let go, still has a lot to deal with.

When Williams reported to work, he saw Doug's tired appearance and couldn't help but remind, "Teacher." Actually, you can find some priests...... They are the most educational. ”

"Priest?" asked Doug, rubbing his temples vigorously. He knew, of course, that this group had a near-monopoly on education in the Western world, although in the nineteenth century they were no longer as completely monopolistic as they had in the Middle Ages. However, all kinds of high-end and low-end clergy schools still fill the entire education system.

Even Yale College is an institution of higher learning that is inseparable from religion.

It's not like Doug didn't think about finding a priest.

But the question is, let the priests teach the children, will these children be loyal to him Doug, or to God?

"I want to have some children who are faithful to me. Doug said.

Williams didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it for a while, it suddenly dawned on him and understood what the teacher meant, "Teacher, you...... You can find clergy who believe in God as faithfully as in money. They may not be loyal to anyone, but if you give them money, they can teach those children to be loyal to you. It's like a church school, preaching to God. ”

When Doug heard Williams' suggestion, he felt that it was quite feasible, and he had always liked to praise rather than criticize, and praised, "William, you are getting smarter." But...... I don't know such priests, can you help me find some?"

"I'll help you find the right priest as soon as possible!" Williams said.

Although the vast majority of Americans have faith, the higher the level of education, the more money and status people have, the weaker the faith.

To claim to have faith is merely to declare.

Everyone else believes it, but if you don't believe it, you are an outlier.

In order to integrate, to socialize, to seek profits, and to make up for the guilt in their hearts, many people believe in God, enter different sects, and integrate into different circles.

Many clergy do not become clergy because of their faithfulness to the faith.

Williams, it was easy to find a few priests who were willing to come to the printing and dyeing factory to teach.
