`` Well , if throwin bricks at a chaps heead is technical eddication , aw dooant see ` at we want a Schooil Booard to taich us that , '' said Jabez , `` for ther 's lots ` at can manage that job withaat . Nah awl tell yo what technical eddication is as yo all seem fast amang it . '' `` Well , if tha can lawse us , we desarve putting in a pooak an ' shakkin up , '' said Michael , low down , but just loud enough to be heard . `` Aw heeard thi what tha sed Michael , but technical eddication is that sooart ` at taiches 'em a trade , an aw think its a varry sensible thing , ` an aw for one am i ' favor ov a Schooil Board , ` an if we dooant get one up , ther 's sure to be some o ' them local board chaps at will , an ' aw consider this to be a varry gooid time to consider th ' subject , ` an depend on it , them ` at start it will have th ' best chonce o ' being vooated in members ; an ' as nooan on us but Michael has ony public office , aw beg to propooas ` at we form ussen into a quorum an mak application for a Schooil Booard , an ' aw beg also to propooas ` at Michael is th ' cheerman . '' This last proposition was a varry good hit , for he knew that if Michael had the chance to be chairman , that he would not care a farthing what the object might be , -- and there are a many like Michael in that particular . Michael hum 'd and ha 'd a few times , but at last he overcame his scruples and said , `` he did n't know but what it wor for th ' best , and if it wornt , if it had to be done they might as weel have th ' honor o ' doin it as onybody else . '' They held a meeting , but it would be useless for me to attempt to make you understand their arguments , for I did not , and I am pretty well convinced that they were similarly situated ; but at last it was unanimously resolved that they should have a School Board , and Simon called for pen , ink , and paper to draw up a petition , and he began in a very promising manner , and proceeded very well until he came to the word technical , then he scratched his head .
