Schooling in the late 1800's in Dallas, Texas was not well organized. The
public system was not effective. As a result, many of the parents, who
possessed the capability, would send their children to private schools.
Often these would be operated by a person who would be called a
headmaster or a principal. Quite often one person, or perhaps, a man and
his wife, would teach everything that would be taught in such a school.
It was to a man named Waldemar Malcolmson that Robert Lee Moore was
sent. Each of his elder brothers and a sister had been sent to a private
school and it was to this one that he came. Waldemar Malcolmson was an
unusual teacher. One occurrence that is recorded dealt with a parent, Mr.
W. H. Flippen , who brought his two sons to be enrolled in Malcolmson 's
school. As the parent was about to depart, Malcolmson called after him
and said, "Oh, Mr. Flippen , how do you want the earth taught, - flat or
round? I can teach it both ways.
The choice of Waldemar Malcolmson 's school, for young Robert Lee Moore,
seemed to be a natural one. Two older brothers had also attended that
school and, finding it satisfactory, his parents chose that he also
should study with Malcolmson . He began school when he was eight and
studied with Malcolmson until he was barely 15. His studies included such
subjects as Spanish and shorthand, as well as other fundamental subjects.
After learning shorthand, he habitually wrote notes to him- self in the
margins of his books.
