Octavo, tan cloth (hardcover), viii + 359 pp. Very Good, with light rubbing to covers. "We Kennedys were a dynasty of schoolteachers -- three generations of us, our sway extending from 1820 to 1919; just one year short of a century. When we took up the rod of office we were precocious youngsters. Grandpa, the most mature of the three male teachers, was twenty, I was nineteen, while Father was only seventeen, with cheeks still downy and full stature not yet attained. I am not sure how old Aunt Caroline was when she began teaching, but she was somewhere near the verge of motherhood. Of course not one of us had had a day of professional training for such work. Nevertheless, Grandfather and I were both invited into the service by the school patrons, who regarded us as eminently qualified. Father any my aunt went into it of their own accord, but had little trouble finding places. When these three elders began their work, there was not even the semblance of an examination to test their ability and aptitude. Our three lifetimes witnessed an evolution from the most primitive type of American school, the isolated one-room log building with earthen floor and backless benches to the modern, small-city type, with all the rural district schools eliminated and one central, well-equipped plant for a township, and everybody riding to it in a bus. In that ninety-nine years we saw new horizons appear, saw our nation reach westward to the PAcific, saw the boundless forest replaced by farms and municipalities; we saw a new America built and American social life and education change almost beyond conception, especially in the towns. In the country, when I finally put away my textbooks, therre was still discernible a faint tang of our old pioneer atmosphere -- but it, too, was fading rapidly before the pungent breath of the automobile."
