y NEIL A. MATHESON Provincial-Farm Editor I OFTEN think about the pessimists who continually charge that the young people are so. much worse than previous gener- ations, as I recall some of the stunts we used to pull in school days when I was a boy. And that reminds me that Capt Wally Smith, 95, Pownal, recounted some interesting boy- hood experiences for me that-I want to tell you about On one occasion, he tells me ‘‘we were set the task of writ- ing an essay on the subject of ‘love’ and naturally the word didn't mean much to a boy of 12. So we were_rather stumped I ponderéd over the subject for quite a time but my thoughts seemed to be out on the playground, or somewhere else “Happening to glance at an open school book on the - desk, I saw ‘A treatise on War’ by John Bright, the great English writer. So I thought why not substitute the-word ‘love where ‘war’ was prominent in the treatise, which I did When teacher read it, the essay sounded like this “What is love? I believe that half of the people who talk

: about ‘love’ have not the slightest idea what it is—it is a com-

bination and concentration of all the horrors and atrocities that are a curse to mankind, and so on.” \

Capt. Smith recalls “I didn’t get away with it though, as I had to stand on the dunce block for a half-hour."” That “dunce block”’ reference is new to me. I recall that one teacher devis- ed a dunce cap, she would make.a student wear at times

THE TEACHER didn't always win though ‘Our old school had an attic’, recalls Capt. Smith, “and we boys used to crawl up there and chase each other over the beams. Once one of the boys missed one of the beams and his foot went down through the plaster. Well, we thought we were surely in for a strapping. So we decided on tegy.
