piled and suitable punishments pre-

aMikado runs. Fol instance, a boy or
girl who whispers and is detected, has
to copy a poem OF four verses our or
Ave times each. A second offense
copying the form twice and a third
whisper involves committing the form
to memoir and reciting 1t before the
entire class.
For chewing gum, eating candy or
surepticiously taking q bite OF an app
pie, the punishment inficted Is q treat

board OF education will be called to its
successful results.
