stance of his method: "One day a
boy named Russell was accused OF
some misdemeanor and Master Yves
ton at once summoned q Russell boy
before him. The youth protested
his innocence, but the indignant in.
structor proceeded to give him q
cowhiding that made him feel un.
comfortable for o week. The next
day the teacher was informed that
there had been a mistake, that il
was not the boy who had been
fogged that was guilty, but his
brother. So a brother of the first
suspect was called forward and
treated to the same medicine as the
first. Later it transpired that nei
ther of these was the right one. The
third brother was o tall, stout fel
low, much larger than the teacher
and the matter declined to proceed
farther, but declared that the de
mands of Justice had nfully salts
fed"
