School Marm School Days Our school marm, Miss Louisa Gibble, invites
children to get a glimpse of a typical day at school on the island and the strict discipline that was common to the time. There might even be a spelling bee!

Soldiers at Fort Delaware practiced their drill for four hours every day. We won’t work that hard, and we’ll have a great deal more fun. Parents, bring the camera, because this is one you will want for the scrapbook!
