The Original snueers.

The grossest injury which Dickens
ever inflicted on fellow being was
his too accurate portrait of an limo
cent man in his Squeers. That York
shire schoOlmasters were, as n rule,
cruel and wicked enough it is true, but
the particular schOolmaster who WAS
recognized and who recognized him
self as the original Squeers seems to
have been an exception to the rule.
1t will be remembered that Dickens
and his illustrator Travelled together
to the north of England for the pur-
pose of collecting material for Mick
leby'' and especially for the Dothe-
boys episode. At Great Bridge they
visited a boarding school known rs
Bowes academy. The master. William
Shaw, received the strangers with
some hauteur and did not as much as
withdraw his eyes from the operation
Of penmaking during the interview.
Phiz sketched him in the act; Boz
described the act. The personal pecul-
iarities of William Shaw We're recOg-
nized in Squeers. Shaw became butt
of popular ridicule. lost his pupils and
finally died of broken heart. Yet
there is abundant evidence to prove
that he was 4 really excellent and kind
hearted man. who was made to suffer
for the misdeeds of his neighbors.-
