fabulous price for district school-tesch
er in those days. Contrary TO his expec-
tations the committee accepted his terms,
and the next day he took his place in the
school. The big boys were elated at the
thought of a speedy transpositi0n of the
STRIPPING before them from the school
room to the snow-drift outside the door.
During the morning the boys had pretty
much their own way, whispering and
talking aloud, throwing paper wads, and,
in fact, indulging in the usual diversions
of country school boys, without let or
hindrance. l.. tried to hear one or two
classes, but found it difficult task, and
remarked rather languidly that he thought
they made good deal Of noise. At noon
he looked at his watch and said, careless
ly, that he guessed they would stop a
little while, and without waiting to dis
miss the school, picked up his hat and
walked out.
Before going back to school in the af-
ternoon, L. provided himself with good
rawhide of the most approved stage of
greenness, and upon entering the school
room, stealthily slipped it from under his
coat into his desk. When he called the
school together he told them, sternly,
the school was for work, and that he
wanted it distinctly understood that there
was to be no communication of any kind,
no noise and no leaving seats without
leave. He Immediately called out q
class, but no sooner had they began to re-
cite than there arose most unesrthly
din. He repeated what he had just said,
and added: "Any scholar that has any
communication with another without
leave, or makes any unnecessary noise,
will be punished. I mean what I say"
Again he began his recitation, when
three of the largest and ugliest boys who
occupied the same bench put their heads
together aud began to whisper and talk
in the most insulting manner. Drawing
his rawhide from his desk, the young
schOOl-master started for that back seat
with fire in his eye that meant bust
ness, and seizing the first sinner by the
collar, dragged him into the middle of
the floor. OF course he hung to the
benches and resisted the teacher with all
his might, but LIS grit was up, and after
he had strapped the rascal we'll he per-
formed the same programme with number
two till he begged for mercy. Then be
dragged out the third trembling wretch
and thrashed him nd li6itum. During the
whole performance he had not spoken .
word, but now he said again:
"The next scholar that has any COM
municat:ou with another without leave,
or makes any unnecessary noise, will be
punished. I mean What I say" But no
one spoke or stirred, and for the remain
der OF the day the school-roon, was still
a. chamber Of death. Perhaps 1t would
be unnecessary to add that this episode was
followed by two months of school as
pleasant and profitable - ever fell to the
lot Of . country district school, and
doubtless there are those living to-day
among our readers Who Can testify TO
