Quote: As a second grade teacher, she [Julia Johnston] was greatly
beloved by all of the children. However, I hated going to her home on Saturday
morning to recite the shorter catechism. Remember Davidson was a very
Calvinistic Presbyterian community in the 1920s. Children were required to
learn the answer to questions like: ‘WHAT IS SIN?’ Dyer, Goudyloch Erwin.
