Why Sir Edwin Arnold Ceased to Use the
Rod on His Pupils.

why Edwin arnold CcaScO 60 use the
Rod on His Pupils.
Sir Edwin Arnold, in the volume of
autobiography which he has just pub
lished, tells the unique story of how,
as master of the Birmingham grammar
school, he was caned by one of the
boys.
The class was engaged on Cicero.
Some disorder occurred near the mas
ter's chair, and, selling the cane, he
gave nasty cut upon The too-tempting
back of one youth who seemed to be the
offender" IF you please, SIR" said the
boy, squirming, II did nothing. 1t was
Scudamore that kicked me in the stom-
ach, underneath the desk"
The statement was true. Scudamore
had demanded from his neighbor, quite
illegitimately, the explanation of an OBJ
scure passage, and, not being attended
to, had taken this much too emphatic
means of enforcing attention. Having
called the class up, Arnold said to the
doubly-wronged boy, who was still rub
bling the place: ut is 1 who am most
to blame, for having dealt you an I'M
deserved blow. Take that cane and
give it back to me as hard as you got
it," mo, SIR" the lad answered, II
can't do that The whole great school,
room was now listening, masters and
all. Arnold insisted. "Jones, you must
obey me: and if you disobey, l am
sorry to say / shall make you write out
that page of Cicero three times, stay
ing in to do it,
Whether it was desperation at this
dreadful alternative, or the sparkling
eyes of his classfellows, evidently long

managed to thank Jones for his obliging
compliance, and then said to him:

your knee and throw it out of the win

Sir Edwin Arnold adds that corporal
punishment is, in his view, cowardiy
and clumsy expedient, and that ''he

HER HANDS.

Her hands are shapely. small and white.
With delicate veins of blue;
Their touch on the fevered brow is light,
But they meet my own at the door at night
With clasp that rs warm and true.
These hands are busy the livelong day
With many a household care;
They bring out order from disarray
And all my troubles they take away
At night when they stroke my hair.
There's a magic power in the fingers fair.
Like that in enchanters' rods:
The biscuits they make are as light as air,
And the dishes the beautiful hands pre-
pare
Are dainties fit for the gods.
About the hands there's dainty grace.
AS they move at the minds commands:
In every motion a charm trace,
And the stately form and the fair. sweet
face
Are matched by the beautiful hands.
They are open hands and they never close
And never are slow to aid;
They're active to tighten a sufferers woes
And from them a generous bounty flows
Whenever appeal is made.
Oh beautiful hands so soft and white,
Possessed of charm so Deep
i shall die content If the fingers light
Shall close my eyes when has come the
night
And so to my long last sleep!
