err, rather tearing his scholars flesh
with whipping than giving them a
good education. Their tyranny in
mauling the pupils about their heads
hath dulled those who in quickness
exceeded their masters"
But the good done to learning makes
up largely for the errors displayed
In some of the methods of making the
young idea shoot. Time softens the
memory, as distance lends enchant-
ment to the view We are therefore
rather glad that they have many of
them not been left to oblivion, but
are thought of now and then in con-
nection with former pupils who have
become distinguished.
An early teacher was Thomas Plat
ter, who began life as Swiss shep-
perd boy and ended 1t as famous
Bale schoolmaster. At 8 years of age
he was sent to the village priest, of
whom he learned to sing a little of
the salve and to beg for eggs, besides
being cruelty beaten and oftimes drag
ged by the ears out of the house."
Let us hope that the memory of his
experiences made him patient with
those under HIS charge at Bale.
Another was Roger Aschan1, born
about 1915, One of his pupils was
Lady Jane Grey, and SO was Queen
Elizabeth. He may have used harsh
means toward some of his pupils, but
when 1t came to trucking to royalty
he was an expert-such an adept, in
fact, that he has given us very false
picture of the girl Elizabeth: With
respect to personal decoration" he
says. "she greatly prefers a simple
elegance to show and splendor." IT.
this was so then, she outgrew the
old preferences, for at her death she
is said to have had about $500 costly
suits of all countries in her wardrobe.
She had also eighty wigs. Old Roger

aware of this, for there was much
scandalous gossip about my lady
Elizabeth going in night in a barge
upon Thames and other light parts"

The April Munsey contained an arti-

OF course it was brutal, as things go
In school rooms now. But public SEN
timent makes thing good or bad, and
that time public sentiment was with
the schoolmaster and his rod, of whom
1t has been truthfully written by John
G. SAKE:
And as tits meet to battle We feet.

Ye yonker's pate to stimulate,

Life for hundreds of years was made
burden to helpless little pupils on
account of the power given overbear-
ing teachers; and have wondered
that no one came to their relief as
Mrs. Browning appealed in behalf of
the little ones of the factory in "The
Cry of the Children" 1t is no wonder
that Horace mathematical his crusty
teacher as Orbilius of the Birch.
Plautus, Romes greatest comic and
dramatic genius, who died nearly two
hundred years before the Christian
era, says that for missing single let
ter in his reading a Roman boy was
stripped like his nurses cloak with
the black and blue spots left by the
rod. Martial, the witty epigrammatist,
born about 40 or Al A. D., declares
that in his time "the morning air re-
sounded with the noise of floggings
and the cries of suffering urchins.
The famous English schools have in
the past carried brutality to an ex-
IRENE. Goldsmith was often flOgged
as a Ounce, and was once caned by a
tutor for giving a ball in the attic
story of the college. Whipping in the
earlier American schools was almost
an established feature of the curricu-
lum, also-especially in the old field
sort.

Boston Earthquake Of 1855.

DVSVOA E1HSu4uuAC VI 1SOt1s
The earth at first seemed to be lifted
several inches and then shaken like a
carpet. The climax came with heavy
jolt, accompanied with a crash like
peal of thunder.
Superstitious Bostonians thought
they heard in the midst of the groan-
Ing and rumblings the shrill toot of
Gabriel's trump.
Although the houses of that day
were built "for keeps" many of them
were racked out of plumb and square.
Chimneys, though built regardless of
material, were shattered. twisted half
way round or tumbled down.
Heavy roof beams were snapped like
matches in some houses. The spire
on the Boston market house was snap
ped off like the cracker of a whip and
dropped into the street with the
weather-vane attached.
The water in most of the wells be-
came SO charged with sulphurated
hydrogen that it could not be used.
Cracks opened in the earth in many
places, and fine white sand was
blown out by fetid gases.
