Reminiscences of an Oakville Schoolmate and Courageous Teacher
The author recalls a 1858 Oakville pupil who challenged a stepfather in a schoolroom revolt against a teacher Prof Cooper. Cooper’s calm, principled defense of discipline and the stepfather’s failed attempt to force a retraction illustrate steadfast integrity. The piece then shifts to a Somerville academy peer who rose to national prominence, debating gold standard policy and a Tennessee political career that included a Senate defeat by Carmack and later a gubernatorial loss to Carmack's son.
