event in a boys life when he got
to baker" and an epoch was
reached when he arrived at
"horseback," bat when he had
chance to subdue "baniShment"
and cessation" he felt that he
had accomplished something very
great At this school there was
a small nail driven into the door
facing on the inside and a small
forked stick, some three inches
long, was hung on this nail.
When one left the room he had
to carry this forked stick with
MIN. 1t was the pass. But one
person could leave the room at
a time, and if one could not Get
possession of the forked stick he
could no5 get out.
*x
After this term there was d
school taught here each year for
two or three years, and the
scholar that spelled the loudest
in learning his lessons and pro-
nounced the words the nearest
correctly was the one we thought
was learning the fastest. The
scholars could be heard at least
one hundred yards spelling their
lessons, ard this noise was kept
UP all day in the schoolroom. 1t
was a regular singing school.
The following incident is re-
lauta OF a neighboring school. In
log house on a summer after
noon, a score and half of boys
and girls, of assorted sizes and
ages, barefooted and seated on
benches so high that the feet of
the smaller ones could not touch
the floor, were droning their les
sons, while the teacher sat doz-
ing in his chair. After a time
one boy began to spell little
louder than the rest. He began:
Pub pub Ii Il publ ca ca
publica t-i-o-n ton publication.
This word was followed by a
number of others of the same
ending t-i-o-n. The words were
easy to spell and he ''rounded
up" the last syllable with full
stress on the "i." AS he went
on through the words he spelled
louder and louder. Another boy,
not to be outdone, came to the
top on this wave Of sound as he
spelled, mi double | mill dog
dog milldog. "What kind of
dog is that, Benz" asked the
teacher. Ben looked again and
saw the word was milldam, in
stead of milldog. The ripple of
fun caused by Ben's mistake
soon subsidized, and the vocal
spelling continued until the next
one was called to "say his les
son." There was 80 much noise
made in this spelling and reading
aloud that those who wanted to
master their arithmetic had to 60 !
out of the house and get under
the shade of the trees, if the |
weather was warm, or the sunny
side Of the house if it be cold.
