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.

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.
