LIGHTS AND SHADES.

Little Eddie Luke, pupil in one of
the New York city public schools, was
guilty of some breach Of discipline the
other day and as a punishment his
teacher compelled him to sit with the
girls. Eddie'S soul smarted under the
punishment and in revenge he set fire
to the school house and scared | 800
pupils and the teachers half to death.
In those days of the dim and misty
past when the writer as a small boy
'trudged like snail unwillingly to
school, the matter of being compelled
to "sit with the girls was variously
regarded. With some it was the low
est depth of degradation; with others.
a thing greatly to be desired. And the
feelings of the small girls on the sub
ject, like those of the boys, differed ac-
cording to the temperament of the in
dividual. But it didn't take the
teacher long to discover who were
punished by the process and who were
not and to govern herself accordingly.
Discussing the subject of school
children and their ways serves to re-
call a recent occurrence at Flushing,
l.. T., where, in the joyous gladstone
ness of youth, eight high school boys
Smeared with limburger cheese the
recitation room and fixtures, not
emitting to disturb liberal portion
in the innermost workings of the
school piano. The identity of the boys
was discovered and they were expelled,
which was lost opportunity for in
fiicting fitting punishment. They
should have been locked in the room
with closed windows, for twenty-four
hours. The most deplorable feature
of this incident is the needless waste of
a substance that is esteemed by many
as an humble, but nourishing article
of food Admirers of Wagner's music
are, as a rule, fond of limburger cheese,
and there are others whose souls and
stomachs are capable Of rising superior
to some things who eat and profess to
enjoy the fragrant product Of the
Fatherland.
