RURAL SCHOOL LIFE OF 4S
Gilbert Rorison Recalls
Experiences of Eventful
Life.

The picturesque old Scotchman with
whom belated pedestrians exchange
the time of night, as they pass the
Island Wooden mill in the western
part of town, is coming to the evening
of long and very eventual lifa. Mr..
Rorison was born in Scotland and
while very young was taken with his
parents and two brothers aboard a
sailing vessel bound for America. The
vessel wandered from It's course, was
wrecked and presumably deserted. Mr.
tsorison W as separated from his par
ents ar d brothefs and, for the time, lost
his identity. He was adopted by we'll
to-do Canadian farmer with whom he
was bound until he reached the age of
twenty-one, when he was promised
freedom and a suit of clothes, the
usual agreement. Mr.. Rorison neither
knew his name nor his age, for
certainty, until his brothers, who were
older than he appeared and solved the
mystery. His parents lost their life in
the storm which the wrecked vessel.
Young Gilbert attended the dis
trict school which happened to be q
fairly good example of the rural school
of Canada at that time. 'Spare the
rod and spoil the child' was practi-
cally the only pedagogical principle
put into practice in that school and,
in short, In the community. The
school was composed in winter of a
number of large boys and perhaps two
dozen smaller ones which made dras-
tic measures necessary. Occasionally
the "master", as he was called, be-
came intoxicated and at such times
his cruelty was unmeasured. Once he
thrsshed small boy to what the on
lockers considered very near the point
of death, when an Older boy inter
fered. The master left and another
one came in his place.
One cold morning Bill Graspy, q
large, overgrown "easy gonin' boy
came into the schoolroom slightly
ardy and as was the custom, sat down
near the stove to get warm. He had
been seated only few seconds when
the master told him to take his seat
slow moving Bill was making prepar-
ations to obey when the master inter.
cepted him and telling him TO "Sit
stiII'' built roaring fire in the old
stove and going behind the boy be
placed his foot on Bills coat and held
him there until his trousers smoked
at the knee, when poor Bill was al
lowed to retire. Mr.. Rorison is OF
the opinion that children of the present
day who dislike to go to school might
profit by few days attendance al
the school of his childhood, but be.
yond that its methods were highly
erroneous.
