ast me questions about what i had did.
but i gess these fellers must have did it or they
woodent have pade for it.

Aunt Sarah sed father was xpelled from the
academy twict. i asted him what he was xpelled
for. he sed the ferst time was a case of religious
persecution. i asted why they was persecuting him
and he sed he and another feller thougt the students
was having to pay too mutch atension to morning
prairs in the chapil and so he and the other feller
screwed up the doors of the chapil one nite and the
nex morning they coodent get into the chapil for 2
days and they found out that he and the other feller
had bougt sum screws. so they persecuted him for
that and xpelled him.

then i asted him why he got xpelled the 2nd time
and he sed it was edjucasional persecution of the
wirst kind. i asted him what they done to persecute
him that way and he sed that docter Soule marked
all the fellers down awful low and it dident make
enny difference how hard he studded none of the
fellers cood get a good mark. father sed it was
dredful the amount of whale oil he birnt in lamps
nites studding his greke and latin. he thinks he
must have birnt about 2 hoal whales full but it dident
do enny good. he never cood get a good mark. well
docter Soule kep his marking sheets in his desk and
eech day he marked the felers down feerful low and
locked his sheets in the desk and at the end of the
day he wood give the shets to anothr teecher to add
them up and give out a list of the best scolars.

well father and another feller got a kee that wood
fit the lock of that desk and evry day they wood get
the sheet and mark evry feller 100 percent and doctor
Soule never looked at it and give them to the
other teecher to add up and evrybody got perfict
marks and evrybody sed it was the best class in the
school.

well bimeby one day father and the other feller
marked themselfs 125 percent and when the other
teecher added the marks up he found sumthing was
rong. so he spent a weak adding and substrackting
and multipliing and dividing and reduceing to the
leest common denominator and invirtin the diviser
and perceeding as in multiplication and finding the
leest common multipel of and xtracking the squair
root of and at last he maid up his mind that there
was a niger in the woodpile.

so he took his figgers to old docter Soule and they
set a trap and cougt father and the other feller and
they xpelled them and that was the last of father
