MORE REMINISCENCES

Rom the centre of a page of axi- vertisements in the Guardian re- cently. there slmpered the fatuous countenance of “the bias). object.- ionable fining man in America ‘— Charlie cCarthy. His dfnky ‘little top-hat is new and the monocle has been added, but. he ls at heart 9i- sentially the same insufferable wentril ulsils dummy that. visited us in sc 001 considerably over half a century ago. In School, mind you!

The National Schools of those mid-Victorian days. before the Bd- vcnt of the Board Schools in 1870. gave the children of both urban and rural workers thcli" only chance of securing a little education. These schools were established 11.)’ 11H‘ Church of England. and a. great part of the expense of running them was met by the voluntary contributions of its adherents. To such a rural school the writer ls indebted for 111s induction into the temple of learning, and he wentto no other. The rule yvas strict. but just; no idleness nor misbchavioi" was tolerated; and lhc rattan cane. liberally applied. “kept the rogues in order."

Nevertheless the "maistor" could unbend at times and permit us some relaxation. and that is 110w the "dummy" comes into the P10- ture. The schoolmaster would. an- nounce. from a scrap of papci" he had received. that “Professor smith, the celebrated ventriloqu- 1st." would give an enterlainmcnt in the school at (so) eleven 0- clock tomorrow morn n52 Mid X111 those who wanted to heat" 111m must bring their pennizx. tThc penny was 2 cents.) Of course we all went. home and \l\‘1‘1€30(11C(1 the tiennics out of our people ~tho event was nearly as important to us as Ehdtlbltlon is to you!

unctually Professor Snilh k ocked at the school door, and we a] stood up. at. attention, as he came in: that was the rule when visftnrs entered the schoolroom.

The master motioned us to our seats with a wave 0f 1115 hand w-hile the Professor re- n ed, can-ylng a suitcase. to the

iltle classroom When he 10-1111- pearcd he was carrying l. scare- crow kind of figure the prehistoric ancestor of Charlie lvfccartliy. .Sea.t.erl in the "visitors tie Professor" took the dummy 0n is knee, and proceeded to quiz - 1m" about his school work. The figure appeared to answer, moving his Jaws and turning his face, t0 his interlocutor as he did so. T110 answers, to our delight, were of the nature of “back-chal." Yidlcllllnl! the Professor's ideas of scholar- ship. and remarking on his per- sonal appearance, After this had gone on a while, a smothered cry Inf “help? was heard. "Good, graci-n ous, somconels up the chimney! said the Professor as he put the dummy in the chair and crossed to the o en fireplace. tThom old style ventriioquLsts always directed ones attention to the locality and imag- ‘inatfon did the rest. ‘The DODUMT ‘notion that. the Professor "threw his voice.‘ up the chimney. was all lnonsense.) Well, after n. conversa- tion with the unknmvll. W110 it seemed had been coming down the chimney and h.d stuck fast, the Professor seeing that: nothing could be done about it. collected his pennies and departed.

Another itinerant entertainer was tho man wtlth tho patterb wheel As in the case of the Pro- fessor. we were notified before- hand to bring our pennies. This mm was rea 1y a potter who was out of work for some reason. and picked up a bare-living by giving these exhibitions. His stock in trade was a. pottefs wheel. which. we now learned. was a. small round. table, capable of rotating horizont- ally when motivated by a treadlc. I-Ie also carried a supply of kaolin. a fine white plastic clay. Placing a. chunk of the clay on his u-heeLhe worked the treadl-e briskly. at the same time applying his fingers to the clay. which formed a. saucer. then a basin. then a c11p. in less time than it fakes to write this. Then he moulded a handle and fit- ted it to the cup; explaining that. it was now ready for baking in the kiln. As a. finish to his parbhe moulded a birds nest on the wheel, made the eggs by rubbin the clay in his palms. and cxh bited the structure round among the youth- ful spectators.

To fill 11p the measure of our entertainment, he called for some- to "tr his hand" at the wheel. and t ere was always some- know-it-all ready to accept. challenge. The clay was the frendle moved. Y") placed his fingers on the clay as e had seen the potter do. The next instant we were dodging the clay which broke and flew in every direction-a striking Illustration of centrifugal force! This nmusfn! episode pointed to the psychologic moment for collecting the pennies, and so the tier went. his way. This wou d, I suppose, be can- sidered a. crude and out-of-place form of entertainment now-a-days" but in those days 1t was a kind o1 link with the great wvork-h-dfll/ world beyond our resent ken. And there Ia no doubt. t at. to us “young barbarians" it. had an educational

Beechwood Gardens

The visitor who leaves the Ia- land without seeing Beechwood Garders. at.

I am not. going to dasnribe ire charming situation of the garden, for you may see that for yourself: and you are sure of a cordial wr-l- mme from the courteous lady “tin presides over the place.
