He took for his model a young, an
innocent and beautiful boy. The task
was not hard one to portray the bean

to paint fiend, but it was long before

to the facts, without regard to the pal
liating circumstances. That although
he might regret the necessity, for the
sake of truth, punishment should be
meted out to each. The Professor, how.
ever, thought it better that the teacher
should not bind himself by any such
arbitrary rules, but that if bound, truth
should be he held sacred. The follow
ing question was then brought forward
