He jumped back, ducked and ran, crouching, down the hill away from the school.

Charles said as they picked their way over the rocky road which led up the hill away from the Dixie Highway, through a corn field and a patch of woods to the school.

When they reached the school, a gang of boys and girls were already there playing `` crack the whip '' in front of the schoolhouse.

We enjoyed a paradoxical freedom when we were still too young for school.

In town after town my companion pointed out the Negro school and the White school, and in every instance the former made a better appearance ( it was newer, for one thing ).

I must confess that I prefer the Liberal who is personally affected, who is willing to send his own children to a mixed school as proof of his faith.

In the early days of a homogeneous population, the public school was quite satisfactory.

As a boy in a local school he was shy and solitary, absorbed in his fondness for nature and his visions of Sweden's ancient glory.

It is different with his volume The Swedes And Their Chieftains ( Svenskarna och deras Hovdingar ), a history intended for the general reader and particularly suited for high school students.

Studying The Merchant Of Venice in high school and college has given many young people their notions about Jews.
