Not much ruriianism about that, is
there! And here is another in the
Boston Herald OF last week, which
says: "Thc committee on public

One hoy struck his teacher such hGav
blow as nearly killed her. Another
boy fought his teacher with loaded

boys kicked their teacher, end another
drew revolver on her. Eight of tho

Thieves, who meet regularly and plal
stealing expeditions. And there are
