The Piney Woods School was founded in 1909 by Laurence C. Jones. You can find the full text online of the book The Little Professor of Piney Woods written in 1955. I’m reading it now.
Signs that read “The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is the way you use them,” “Fame is vapor, popularity an accident; riches take wings-only one thing endues-that is character,” “Work is a blessing,” “Devote yourself to a worthy task-you can’t fail to have a worthy life,” and “Those who think they can’t are usually right” were posted around campus, reminding students daily of the lessons of life.
