Chapter III SCHOOL DAYS

The little red school which I attended as a boy was typical of most country schools half a cen- tury arc, cross the threshold of any one of than and what would you see? Dust-laden floors, a big pot-bellied stove standing in the centre of the room and pulling like in steam engine trying to make a steep grade. Too, you'd see knife-smrred desks. seats and walls, the work wrought by a couple of generations of wood carvers who should have been about their learning.

Do I remember my first day st school? You just bet I do. Pil nicveir forget it. because during recess I landed a fair sized stone on the head of an eighth-grader who had tried to kiss me. Horror of horrorsl

I left the scene of the accident on winged feet The teacher on learning this sent a couple of the larizer boys to bring me back, I gave them a merry chase before they captured and dragged me bad: to school where the teacher stood framed in the door awaiting our arrival. l

'Comc in!" he commanded. a ghost of a mi-ile spreading across his moon-shaped face.

"Is Maggie hurt. bad?" I asked shaking with fear. ”No, I won't come in. air. you'll beat me."

"Not if you promise to throw no more stones at girls," said the master.

I promieed- and took my seat- ihc one next to the back row where the big boys had their noise-making gadaet hidden be- tween the walls. The gadget con- sisted of old sleigh bells and irons tied together by a piece of string whose end went through a knot hole Every time one of the boys left the room theyid give the string a vanlr and then you'd think Santa Claus was steer- ingghis reindeer; right up to the schoolhouse door.

This always annoyed the teacher. But it gave the pupils a. real thrill because they'd laugh and play while he tore around the entranoe looking: for the bells and the villain who'd rang them.

The big bovs I refer to were the pupils who attended school only durlnr: the winter months when work on the farms was slack. They were not out to learn, only to have a good time. plague the teacher. and make life mis- erablo for us small boys.

. . .

Like the ilravr-s of a household thev are now scattered far and wide. yet in fancy I can still see them playing their impish pranks right under the nose of the mas-

was dragged from his deal: by the burly teacher and mode to stand in a corner facing the wall, the others hroixht out their bean shooters and powered the culprit with showers of dried beans till the whole school resounded to the mt-tat-tot of bouncing beans. The sound was very much like a ma- chine gun in a.ction- rat-tat-tat. Stop: Rat-tat-tat.

only male teachers taught in our school in those days and be- lieve me. they had to be good physicaliy- to cope wim some of the 20-year olds who made up that invincible x group known as the "big boys."

Teacher had a faculty for con- tinuing punishments suitable to

the nature of the offence. For example when Nell Walker let loose a flock of sheep ticks

gleaned from his brother's diecp at shearing time and sprinkled them generously on the locks of the girls who sat in front of him. the teacher retaliated with 12 strokes of the cat at nine tails- six strokes on each hand.

It must have hurt cruelly but Neil never batted an eye. He had plenty of courage, so we thought. Pupils who told lies- and that took in most of us.- had to re- cite verses every Friday. some of the boys made their own and they were pretty good too, yet hardly fit to print.

If your recitation was up to standard you were permitted to go home right after delivering it. But if it fell into what some ed- ito-rs call ”cl.riveI rot" you stayed after school and wrestled for a whole hour with "math."

My first book was called the Primer. It was 5 x 4" with paper covers and cheap binding. Be- tween lts covers were pictures. little folks' poe-ms, "lessons and maxims for children," and certain In words to be spelled were under- lined.

The arrival of the school in- spector was a dreaded moment for the teacher and pupils alikn. If Queen Elizabeth were to walk into the room Where I am writing this piece she would not seem half so important to me as did the inspector who came to look over our school work a couple of times a year. His arrival by horse and busily was announced by a peeping Tom who held a place of advantage near the door and could see all that went on out- side the'building through a large opening just below the window sill.

The bad news travelled via the the grapevine system to all parts of Use bi: schoolronm. Then :1 heavy silence reigned. broken by the heavier footsteps and a man- sized knock on the weather-'bcat- en door, The teacher, looking a IV. little pale, we thoiight. rose from '

his face to allay our fears. How could anythinir we might
