Here are the grammar school texts and classics in abundance, but of the classics, only such as would be used in grammar school. The numerous other works belonging to Marshall were mostly religious. This library is fitted very exactly to the practical purposes of a country preacher and schoolteacher. It is not the library of a classical scholar. Most notable of the omissions is that of Horace. Apparently, Marshall had not been called on to teach him. Nor do his other Latin
classics go beyond the bare necessities.
At each stage, therefore, our results have been the same. The surviving sixteenth century curricula are practically uniform, and their component items were administered in a standard order. The organization into forms and the routine might need to be adapted to different conditions, but the items and objectives of the curriculum would remain the same. Thus the one-teacher schools at the one extreme attempt the same curriculum in the same order, and by the same general methods as do the so-called great schools.
