l ears, I am robably the last liv-

." of her t tion charge.

~-.»My first school was on Bydngy

-" Street, several bui east Ohurch. I was on two or

ee days battling my A.B.O's, when a constable entered and arrested the teach , "im- prisonment for debt."

His successor was to me a. fiend in human form. Bpacc forbids re- counting of even-a sample of his arueitiea. Tho I never felt the sting of his f e crisped "Oat." I was so terrorized with his bruta treatment. of scholars that I could not learn, and wasted so in flesh that. my parents compelled removal to another school, located in what is now the Guardian building, taught by a man named Douglass, nicknamed by scholars as "Dish- cioth." He was not cruel. but had little or no tact for teaching. My parents gave me a small hollow round case in which to carry my slate and lead pencils. This I laid on my desk and was confiscated by the master, saying children were not allowed to have toys in school. It resulted in removal, by my father, after retrieving my pencil case, and after a month's attendance, to Miss Lawson's.

This was located in Bremnerh lane in a. building in rear of the

a.

i burnt Duvar Garage. To me it

was in simile a. transit from hell to Heaven.

Miss Lawson, if I am correct (friend Henry Smith would know) was not a daughter, but an adapt-

daughter of the late Henry

on. She was of slighter build

han the Lawson's, with more narrow countenance, of rich com- plexion, endowed with a smile that never wavered, and a demeanor which made her an object of al- most literal worship of all her scholars. AA a teacher she was of abundant tact. and I can safely lay that I learned more in six months under her than in any two gears following in any public

hool.

From thence to Miss Alice Mc- Kcnnas. third floor of a barn or w cuse in rear of Wellnerh, Ltd. Then to Scntta Hall. the clas- sin of government schools. This ‘was taught by Ronald Mont,- gomery. later M.l'-'.P. for Belfast. and Supt. of Education. Here I made splendid progress. for a time, leading in every subject, (except grammar.)

' Montgomery spent his evenin It our house, a checker fiend, wi my father . He was constantly boasting of Lewis, his white head- ed scholar. I was booked for all the lfirst prizes. When the Island -'Argus was published, with examin- ation results. it was a blow to me that destroyed for years any ambi- blon to further learning. School "was to me rather a prison house, than any form of a paradise.

While I was in bed sobbing my- Ielf t.o sleep my father called "Ronni " to account. My hating ‘was 1st prize in Arithmetic, and 2nd. in Geography. I could never forget hh answer. "You lrnow. Jlohn, my weakness for the fafr

hex, i119 girls got pleading with me to put their names in the paper: (I knew Lewis wouldn't mind. and I gave way to them. but he was rst as I told you."

Yet Montgomery was an amel- Bent teacher, and like all of his name intelligent, courteous (in my case i’. thought boo much so in the lair sex) gentlemanly and mild mannered to all. As the member for Belfast a very popular repres- lentative, and one of the best superintendents of education in our history. His death at an early lg: was a distinct loss to the pro-

e.

5v c

But Lewis was rim a grown up

with those mature faculties for hivalry. He was a child of ambi-

on and acomglishment, receiving I fatal set bac in life.

Now back to the Lawson's. After Iiontgomeryb elevation, the suc- cession fell to s. F. Hodgscn and ‘W. E. Hickey. accomplished teach- brs, but. rather strict in disciplin

ucstional matters his sons and da ters inherited the father's bri ancelupect thatitwasbe- causﬁhewastpobigamanforso Illl a province that he moved to the er s to become edi- tor of B. O

Prom many items I recall two incidents drom my teach Hodgson which had an amusing feature. A Murdock Cameron, in- troduced tithe following . "Please sir. can I g0 out?" "Of course you can." Murdock, hat. in hand, was making for the door. “Cameron, where are you Quint" “Out air." "who gave you perm - sion to go out?’ ' “you did, sir," Teacher Hodgsons reply was in- tended for a lesson to the whole school, “You asked me,-"Can I go out.’ "Of course you can, if you have two legs. You didn't ai, — "may I go out?"

It was during the Prohibition election that I momentarily sat in Editor Nash's chair, when 8. l". Hodgson entered. asking, "Can I use your telephone " to which I answered, —“Of course you can. if you have a tongue." After speak- ing he asked my meaning of that predicate. When I recalled the in- cident he was rather tickled, cum- plernenting me on my memory, and application.

His other instance was on I. reading of the trial ‘of Warren Hastingm-"His was a distinguish- ed and stately carriage." The class were asked.-—"What kind of a carriage was that?" Answers varied from four wheeled, two wheeled, a wheelbarrow. to a gin- rickshaw. All were wrong. And he impressed with this the lesson of personal dignity in gentlemanly behaviour.

I remember his colleague Hick- ey, taking us to task for referring to our "sums" in arithmetic. "Everything that. requires an ans- wer, is a question? what we called a sum was a question, calling for an answer, and was not a sum." In those days school life was full of incidents, amusing, instructive. and very often painful in more ways than one. most

especial when the master held the handle

end oi’ a ruler. or a leather "cat-

o-nine-tails,” the extremities of which had been purposely crisped

to hardness by the blaze of a re.
