Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Georgia Historical Quarterly, Vol. 2: March December, 1918 Such men would undoubtedly throw their influence in favor of schools and education; and the probability is that the schools in the settlement would compare favorably with the schools in any part of the Province. School houses were erected in different parts of the District, for neighborhood accommoda tion. One at William Girardeau's plantation on the Sunbury road, about one mile southwest from Midway Church. A school was kept by a Mr. Mclain, near the junction of the Riceboro and the old Sunbury roads. A Mr. Ward kept a school at Midway Church, and was succeeded by Mr. Nathaniel Baker about the year 1796. There was a school house about two miles from Riceboro on the Darien road; also on Jour dine's Hill, kept by Mr. Elijah Baker, about the year 1795.
