BONESHAKER BICYCLE
Boneshaker Bicycle
The Maycomb Merchantile Co. is selling this bicycle which was invented in 1818 by Baron Karl von Drais de Sauerbrun. It has a forged iron frame, padded seats and thin iron tires. The English call them "boneshakers" because they do just that as you ride them.

Caroline Fisher
Maycomb welcomes its newest teacher, Miss Caroline Fisher. She is 21yrs old and comes from North Alabama, from Winston County. She will be teaching the 1st grade.

Bad Parents?
Children in the first grade have been instructed not to read at home. According to Miss Caroline, the schools know better and fear the parents will teach the kids incorrectly. No one in this town has questioned the teachers because everyone knows that teachers know what is best for our children.

1st Grader's First Day
"She smells like a peppermint drop". Those are the words of Jean Louise Finch, a first grader in Miss Caroline Fisher's class. According to Jean Louise, also known as Scout, Miss Caroline read a story about cats and then printed the alphabet on the blackboard. "Miss Caroline told me to tell my father not to teach me any more, it would interfere with my reading...says my father, Atticus Finch, does not know how to teach". According to Miss Caroline a new way of teaching is going to happen called the Dewey Decimal System.
