his class in a local academy He told
the story of the early Roman republics
and the scheming of the politicians of
the times. He related how, when any
man in the republic beczme obnoxious
TO his neighbors. they used to write his
name on an oyster shell Qatin-ostre-
UNI. shelD, and on the receipt OF a
specified number by the consuls that
man was banished, killed or otherwise
removed in some one OF those pleasant
ways the old Romans had When he
had finished his explanation, he said:

what did we derive from the old Latin
use of the shell. which was called os-
treum?'
