1. Lula did not want the white children in the church, others, including Zeebo and Reverend Sykes were happy to have them. The service was similar to the service in their own church except there were no prayer books or hymnals.....the members of the church did what was called "lining" to sing their hymns.
2. One of the first things Scout learns is that prejudice is a two-way street. Scout also learns more about Tom Robinson and the case that Atticus is taking on. She finds out that Helen, Tom's wife, has no income now that Tom's in jail and that Rev. Sykes will "sweat" the money out of the congregation keeping them in church until enough money has been raised by the congregation.
3. Calpurnia was taught to read by Miss Buford from a book that Granddaddy Finch gave her.
Cal, in turn, taught her oldest son Zeebo, to read
4. She doesn't want people to think she is putting on "airs." She says " It's not nessesary to tell all you know. It's not lady-like---in the second place, folks don't like to have somebody around knowin' more than they do. It aggravates 'em. You're not gonna change any of them by talkin' right, they've got to want to learn themselves, and when they don't want to learn there's nothing you can do but keep your mouth shut or talk their language."
