A speaker recalls early schooling in a log schoolhouse at the headwaters of a ravine. He describes rustic teachers, mixed-age classes, scarce books, and rough discipline using a dogwood switch. Tales include a mule named Jackson and a prank involving turpentine, causing chaos and a dramatic fallout.
A narrator recalls school days and a whipping incident, detailing the guilty party revealed by a coerced confession. He plans to fund a home for the old teacher, revive annual school reunions on the grounds, and bring a simple dinner bucket from years past. A lost band bag with clothes is reported and a reward offered.
