Mrs. Mac- Irmes didn't seem pleased to sec us however, and after a while Mr. M. proposed to meet us at 8 mm. every clay, in the school, "so that we could have the evenings to ourselves." We thought this a fine idea. and at once agreed. For another month that worked well, and then Mr. M. began to come late, always with a good excuse. We stuck scrupulously to our time table and finally he didn't turn up at all, The “industrious ap- prentices" whose only hope lay in passing the quarterly exams, studied the harder and invariably got high marks. This was the easiest way out of’ a bad situa- tlon.

One could without any great effort fill this column with such trivia illustrative of the good old t‘mes. but perhaps the above is as much as the long-suffering reader ‘yill stand-for the present.

Note! 0n Teaching School t!)

When the Act of 1810. permit- ting the opening of Board Schools, was passed. there was at once a difficulty in securing teachers. The whole scheme Wu so experi- mental that nobody could predict the number of teachers required, and there was most certainly no institutions or Colleges where teachers could be trained. So in practice the School Board hired a headmaster who had been trained, and had taken some kind of a degree, at one of the Ikrglish or Scottish Theological Colleges. and the rest of the school staff was made up of "pupil-teachers". who were indentured or apprenticed to serve for five years. The pupil- teachers were bound to teach as- signed classes at all times when the school was "open”. and in re- turn were to have a weekly mini- mum of six hours tuition from the headmaster. Each got a month- lv salary, but it was a "token" af- fair and scarcely kept the recipi- ent in clothes-which by the way had to be somewhat classy.

Four times in the year the

pupil-teachers from all the Board Schools in a given area. were dir- cried to R0 to a certain town or citv for the "exams". I was. I recollect. very fortunate in these tests. I went up for my first 0mm. after onl" six Weekg’ teach. inc and got a "Good" mark. As this was the final exam nf the "ear it made me a second-year student rieht away. I had cut off 46 weeks from my five years’ bond- age. I suppose the general routine of cram: does not change much over the years. though the 5111116135 m, when the pupil-teachers for- gaihered in the town school. they were given seats in n b‘: class- room.

The Plntall Duck

In North America its range is from the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico. In Canada it is more numerous as we go westward. but in the east it is mostly seen in winter or dur-

We did all the “first book" and part of the second. Geometry. and the Metric System, were separate subjects.

One very useful text book was alled "School Discipline." and here waeno question that we needed its aid. It was all very well to put forty or more children (who had been running the roads, wild as young colts) into a class- room with a teacher I5 or 16 years nld. and to expect him to tench them! If they mlsbehcved. the school Board ruled that they were to be sent to the headmaster for punishment. He soon ifot tired of that, lectured the culprit and sent him back. The teacher. then. for self-preservation. was forced lo take up the cudgel literally. and enforce his orders with the rod. when the scholar had. by this method attained a proper respect for his teacher. it was time for the "School Discipline" lv-ok to enter upon the scene. Rough as those children were. it eiwevs amazed me to find them so lnvai to their teacher after the "breaking in" proceaai
