just reaching over to ring two bells
for further descent, WREN the bucket
started down. His satisfaction was Of
short duration, however. Down
dropped the bucket at a speed that
jumped Wright's heart into his mouth.
There was big drops of perspiration
upon his honest brow when the thing
stopped with a jerk. He was ON the
point of clambering down when
IT'z-z-z-z-z-z'- the bucket began to
slide upward. The speed increased to
a mad one. This time he was sure
there was something wrong, and so,
very wisely he dropped to the bottom
Of the bucket, making himself as small
as possible and anchoring himself with
his feet and back. Up he shot, a
stream of golden sunlight blinded him
he had a faint v~isinon of the scaffoldina
above, and then, just as he had made
up his mind he was dead, the bucket
stopped. 1t swung a second there, ther
it went down again with a dizzyine
swoop.
The impressions of Wright during
the next two hours might be very in
teresting-anly he didn't have any i'm
pressions. About on his third ma,

Saturday at noon Jack, who has a

levels to eat his lunch in the sunshine.

already dropped back to work, and sig
nailed to the engineer at the hoist, who
was in plain view, to lower him. The
latter, John Pugh by name, started to
comply. He released the brake, and
the big drum about which the cable
was coiled had made already several
revolutions, when Richard Perry
walked into the hoist house.
"Stop that bucket,o he said.
Pugh, his eyes glued to the paying
out cable, paid no attention. Perry, the
former engineer at the hoist, had been
fred several weeks before for drunken
ness, and ever since he had been loung-
ing in harmless drunken befuddlement
about the works.g
"Stop that bucket" repeated Perry.
"Wait a minute till / get Jack

await a minute" Pugh started to
say, trying to gain time.
Perry CRASHED his teeth, placed the
cold muzzle upon Pugh's temple and
cooked the gun. Pugh put on the
brakes, turned on his heel, jumped out
of the rear window, and went down
the hill to get help.
Perry calmly established himself on
the vacated stool, his cooked six
shooter conveniently at hand. He re-
leased the brake. 1he drum began to
revolve, slowly at first, then faster till
it hummed. Then, just as the extrem-
ity of the cable was almost reached,
Perry jammed on the brakesl, released
them, jammed them on again, and
brought the thing to q stop, just at the
place ON the cable where q piece of
Irvine showed the reaching Of the low
est level. Immediately, however, he
threw the electric controller forward a

the drum began to revolve in the other
direction. Up wound the cable. Sud

that for two hours, alone upon the top

Excitement.

Olney is little hamlet in Otcro

that a fist fight was INDUCED in by
some of its able bodied men to re-
lieve the monotony of existence.

going to tell them. They can md
out the same way ! have" What
would you have done in that case'
Note here that this teacher has been
in the same school for number OF
years, and she seldom if ever whips.
To hit all sides OF the question
cite one more instance. In back
woods district in the early settlement
of New Hampshire, the big boys in
the district school the first Monday
morning each picked up cord stick
of wood and marched into the school
room. They lined up before the
teachers desk, and the leader COM
manded: Shoulder arms" The griz-
ely old master stepped out from be-
hind the desk, hit @the leader a ring
ing clip which landed him on the
floor, at the same time saying, And
| say ground arms | am captain
here this winter" That crushed the
rebellion for that term. What would
you have done in that case? Note
here that while this style of disci-
pline is not to be approved generally
perhaps it was the best possible con-
sidering the tines, and circumstances
under which it occurred No one rule
or law will suit all conditions OF
school life.
Let me add one lesson from these
diverse incidents 1t is this: The
teacher should have the highest pos
sible training, the utmost enlighten-
ment in methodI OF school govern
ment. and then should be left free to
work her problems, as they come to
her from time to time, as she is
prompted by her conscience and her
calm, cool judgment.
1t is just as reasonable to make a
law that teacher shall whip for GER
tain offences as that she shall not
whip for any.
This article was called out by a lit
tie circumstance which happened at
Louisville ] was then understood
to say that | desired return to old
fashioned Spartan severity in the gov
ernment of children. Nothing could
be farther from my thoughts. What
| intended to say was that the at
tempt to Danish the bible and God,
and all ideas of Immortality from the
school has not proved success. And
above all things else, we need to
come back to this doctrine of our
fathers, that the exacting of unhesi-
tating obedience OH the part OF the
child, and of hearty respect for
law and order on the part of the
youth, is the foundation of that good
citizenship of which republic al
ways stands in need
This is not a hcresy; it is not old
fogyism; it is not pessimism. Page,

fee, and we cannot afford to discard

With the Schools
What Would You Have Done?

=
The concrete throws light upon the
abstract. Theory is best understood
through practice. The matter OF
school discipline can best be illus
.rated by facts. Let us consider
few like the following g.. 49,
In a Montana schoolroom a ht:lc
twelve-year old boy tore piece OF
paper into bits and threw them on
the floor about his desk. To the
direction from his teacher to pick
them uo he replied: q won't do it.
That is the janitor's work" The
principal of the school was called in.
and to his commands the lad replied:
Il won't do it. It is the janitor's
business" The board suspended him
for ten days What would you have
done in such case? Note here that
the law forbade "the laying on Ct
hands"
Here is something different. In
western town father left his ladder
standing against the barn. The moth
cr at work in the barnyard heard her
little four-year old boy calling her:
See, mamma, see me-" Looking up
She saw him on the ridge-pole. He
had climbed up the ladder and made
his way over the roof to his perilous
position. In the tones of voice which
she always used when she expected
to be obcyed she said, You have
been on the roof long enough-dear-
est. Come right down to mamma.
He made his way to her just as she
directed What would you have done
in this case?
Note here that the child had been
trained from his infancy to unhesi-
tating obedience, and the habit prob
ably saved his life.
Take another case. In village
school the boys had run ont two
teachers i'll one term, and the third
was called in She took her place on
Monday morning. AT noon she found
two brothers fighting in the hall. AS
she stepped out to stop them they
ran out of the door with all manner
OF insulting remarks and gestures.
That afternoon she whipped them
both soundly. The next morning
lust as chool was about to commence
the mother of the two boys appeared
leading them by the hands BE you

whip the boys yesterday" Il did,
according to the best of my ability. If
they come here they will have to mind
me-" "Well, you did just right. Mike
and me talked it all over last night
If you have any more trouble, let us
know and Mike will attend to thenl."
What would you have done in that
case? Note here that the teacher
took some risk, but the occasion call
ed for immediate action. She was
free to use her own Judgment, and
the parents, as they will nine times
out of ten, came to her support.
Here is another instance A teach
cr, now the principal of large build
ing, let it be known before she be-

of challenge, and for the first three
days riot reigned in the school. Then
