In the [illegible] of January 11, 1744, there is an item which shows that the local custom of ‘barring out the teacher’ was a very old custom thirty years ago. The article is as follows:
“From Lancaster county we hear that a country schoolmaster, who had been barred out by the scholars on the breaking up for the Holidays attempted to force his way into the school, one of the lads thrust a hanger through a crevice near the door, and wounded him so that he died in a few hours."
