This is a small, pocket notebook -- approx. 3.5" wide and 6" tall -- previously in the possession of Maxine (Elliott) Mottice. The dates of the entries range from 1909 to 1924, two years prior to his marriage.
Most of the notes in this book are school facts, that is, things that a young student would be expected to know about politics, geography, grammar, etc. Since Bernard taught 2nd grade sometime around 1915 it is easy to assume that these notes had something to do with his teaching position.
There are several other interesting entries in this notebook. The first is three pages of what are apparently
time reports for "road work" Bernard and his family and friends did in 1924. The dates recorded range from January to May of that year and there is no indication, unfortunately, where this work took place. On page does mention "removing rocks" and another "bridge". That suggests it is worth checking to see when the bridge over the Kanawha River in Grantsville was built.
Two of the the workers listed as part of the work team he was in were his brothers Oley and Alva. Two other Elliotts are mentioned as well. One is "Lum" Elliott, which was the 
nickname for Columbus Elliott -- Bernard's uncle -- who died in 1935. The other is Henry Elliott. I am not aware of any Henry Elliott who was alive at this time, so his identity is a mystery.
The other interesting entries in this notebook are scattered throughout its pages and give little clue about their origins. They are short notes -- several lines at most -- written to Bernard from females (I say females rather than girls since there is no indication of age) expressing their sentiments toward him.
Are they the musings of girlfriends who Bernard was cutting ties with after he met Goldie? Remember, the latest entry date for anything in the notebook is 1924, which is two years before he married Goldie. This explanation doesn't seem too likely since they are all written in the same notebook in their own hands.
Or might they be simply the words of overly romantic second grade girls who wanted to catch the attention of their teacher when they moved to a higher grade. (Though I would be alarmed if 2nd grade girls would write like this to their teachers). We may never know. In any event, they are amusing to read and, I hope, help us share in some of Bernard's experiences.

On these fair pages I claim a shot, to write these words for-get-me-not and if these words you do regret, just blot them out and me for-get.
