At another school we were teaching
small select school, when the agent
of a large village school called. saying
Last Monday a student from

this morning the boys carried him out

enough" he said, go in and we will
pay the bills" There were 100 pupils
in the same room and about twenty of
them young men from Is to q. AS soon
as we entered the room All whichever
way our back was turned there was
stamping of feet and groans.
We appeared not to notice it, but
soon detected a young mans feet in
motion, at which we said: "Will this
young man step this way?" Did you
speak to me. sir?" Yes. will you come
this way?" Surely" and arising he
said: Come, Bill; come. Dan" We
saw at once that we We're a candidate
for the snow bank. They came to the
front and for about fifteen minutes we
had old fashioned gymnastics till the
three were on the floor, trembling for
fear if they moved their brains would
come out. There is no telling what
might have happened. They one by
one left the room, and, though the mas
ter had a few sore spots. there was no
difficulty in that school for the rest
of the term. Twenty years afterward.
when lecturing in certain city, a man
came and introduced himself as one
of those three young men, saying: 1T

one more incident. Taking tea in a
noble. old fashioned sea captains home,
where there were seven scholars, two
of whom were older than the master,
the captain said: Master. how are the

don't behave, don't you whip them;
don't you whip them" Be
fore we had time to respond, he re

with those scholars. They were brought
up to obey at home and knew how to do

OLD TIME SCHOOL
OUT OF EXISTENCE
Visiting Habt-HandIing the Big
Boys-The Spelling School.

Young school teachers today cannot
realize the change that has taken place
in the methods of common school
teaching in fifty years. Then there We're
only two terms a year, one in summer
and one in the winter, each of from two
to three months in length. None of the
schools were graded, but in the same
room were pupils from ) to p years of
age.
In the summer but few boys attended
over Is years old. The winter terms
were nearly alltaught by men. as it was
thought that women could not govern
the large boys. There were no normal
schools and each teacher had to pass
an examination before the town school
committee, which was generally COM
posed of the clergyman of the town and
two others, frequently only farmers,
good, sensible men, but whose education
was much more limited than that Of
the teachers to be examined.
Sometimes these committees made
the examination an opportunity to dis
play what little education they had,
says the Chicago Advance. Mathemat
les and grammar were the favorite
subjects for examination. At one time
a committeeman who had taught once
or twice himself spent the whole two
hours in hearing us parse from
Young Night Thoughts" which was
popular book in the high schools at
that time, though neither of us was to
use the book in our schools. At an
other time the whole examination was
upon cube root"
Another special thing in connection
with most of the country schools was
the boarding round" so many days
for each scholar. This was done to
give a longer term to the school. Some
teachers had unpleasant experiences.
but we We're always favored. The mas
ter had the best there was for the
table and the best sleeping room, and
he became better acquainted with the
people and the scholars. Sometimes
the food was plain and with no great
variety. Once in an humble but neat
home on the coast where we boarded
for one week we had clans with good
bread and potatoes twenty one meals
that week. Clam stew, steamed CLAIMS,
clam pie. baked clans and fried CLAIMS.
We were glad of a change.
The discipline of the winter schools
was a special problem. The big boys
were no worse than the young men
of the same age are now, but the mas
ter was given the school with a kind
of unwritten law, "Now, handle them
if you can; if not. they will handle
you" Some masters had rough usage. :.
OF course public sentiment did not
sanction the roughness of the boys. but
when the young men conquered mas
ter and carried him out of doors it did
not injure their standing in the COM
munity very much.
There was more pity for the master
as a weak man than condemnation for
the boys. When, however the master
conquered the boys, then he was

| hero. 1t did not depend altogether
upon the physical strength, but upon
an indefinable administrative ability
| No matter how large the master, if he
revealed in the least that he was
afraid of the larger scholars, then his
government was gone.
One of the schools was in n seafar-
ing village There We're ninety pupils
| between the ages of 10 and 81, all in
one room Several of the scholars had
been mates of coasters and were older
than the master. They were stout,
muscular fellows, any one of whom
was superior to their teacher in physi-
ed that we had to give the teachers
desk to two Of the older young men,
each of them a splendid example of
physical strength.
We sat in a chair in front of them.
The first Wednesday forenoon lad Of
IA laughed aloud three or four times
We called him on the floor and fer
ruled him-the ferule was the common
instrument of punishment. In the aft
ernOon the two young men at the desk
burst into a loud laugh. We knew at
once if we did not notice them our
control of the school was gone, and we
also knew either of them could handle
us and il was quite probable we would
be carried out and rolled voer in the
snow.
We did not wait to balance the
probability but said, will these young
men come onto the floor?" They at
once stood before me. The school was
silent as a tomb. Before we had time
to speak, the larger of the two said.
Master we beg your pardon; we did
wrong" A load of 10000 pounds went
from our hearts. The discipline of the
school was settled. and ever after that
all we had to do was to look at a pupil
and there was order, for the boys felt
that if the master was not afraid OF
Bill and Jim he is not afraid of any
of us. They never knew how afraid
the master was, but they were noble
hearted sailor boys and they respected
courage.
At another school, the agent said
that a young man, Jack Jones, always
made trouble and we must look out
for him. Jack was a great, muscular
fellow of about $50 pounds who went
to sea in the summer and to school in
the winter. He came to school in his
red flannel shirt sleeves and his lips
were tobacco stained. In giving his
name, he said all he wished to study
was to cipher; he said he had been as
far as cube root. We assured him that
instead of going over what he had
done before he had better begin where
he left off last winter
At about IL o'clock the first fore
noon a young girl requested help upon
a little questions in fractions. We i'm
proved the opportunity by saying:
Mr.. Jones. we are quite busy; would
you be kind enough TO assist this girl !
He assented. He had never been called |
Mr.. Jones before or invited to assist |
another pupil. The school smiled 1t |
was not long before, as the boys said, |
he was stuck" We let him work till |
the hour for closing the school, when |
he said: Somehow / can't seem to |
make it come out just right" We as
sured him that it was not an uncom-
mon experience
One feature of that school was a |
weekly evening spelling school, to
which the scholars from another dis
trict came. The agent said there was
more or less rowdyism and Jack was a |
eader and we must look out for trouble
