QUAINT SCHOOL CUSTOMS.
Long Ordeal for New Boy at Rugby
The "Kish" at MARLBOROUGH.

J. l.. Patton, head master of Man
chester Grammar School, in a speech
at Rochdale, referred to custom at
Rugby School which forbids a boy of
less than three years standing to turn
up his trousers and insists on his
doing so after that period.
The custom is only minor instance
of the quaint practices that exist at
all the great public schools, and are
maintained with religious care, though
in many cases their origin is obscure
or unknown. The Shrove Tuesday

ster School, with it's ensuing scramble
for the largest fragment, which gains
for its possessor a guinea from the
dean, is, perhaps, the best-known
among them.
A curious custom at Marlborough
requires every boy to bring to school
with him cushion, technically termed
a "klsh"-with the 81" long. This
article is his inseparable companion
in school time, and in addition to the
ordinary functions of a cushion is en-
ployed TO carry books from one form
room to another.
At Shrewsbury School at the begin
ming of each term hall elections" are
held for the posts of hall crier, hall
constable. hall postman and hall
scavengers. The genial brutality of
youth often selects for the position of
hall crier either the most nervous boy
in the school or one who is afflicted
with stammer.
Tie new boy in the schoolhouse at
Rugby is early called upon to take
Ids part in house singing" At this
function, which is held in one of the
dormitorles, he has to render a song
to the satisfaction OF his audience,
the penalty being the swallowing OF
a mouthful of soapy water.
