the girl the larger OF the two, got the
best Of the exchange. They were sepa-
rated and both whipped; then the girl
said that the boy called her a name
which loes not appear in the Bible, but
the boy denied it. The teacher then
called the boy upon the plalorm before
the whole school and started to whip
him again; then she called the girl and
held the boy with his hands behind him
and told the girl that il she did not
stack him in the m,nth IA hard as She
could she would whip her. The girl not
wishing another whipping, obcyed, and
pounded the helpless little boy to her
hearts content, while the teacher
laughed at the boy. The parents have
