NUMBER TWO It was during Mr. Albert Barbeîr's termn as Principal of Tyrone Public School that the writer was promoted to the lower room-always a proud and eventful day. The first amaze- ment that struck one was, however, the teacher managed to make hîmself heard with the continual beda oir head1 Slamming sîntes, scuffling of smali naldfeet on the well-worn floor, tramp, tramp, tramping of someone always up and down, and unnecessar- ily, Ioud sbouting of lessons ia uni- son-thalt's how it sounded as soon as on. were out of it. Mr. Barber was a painstakîng teacher, quick-tempered, but soon over it, appreciative of the ambitious pupil and well-intentioned in al bis methods-drastic or otherwise. One of these nmight strike you as unique. There were a f ew big boys in the school out for a good -time, as Most ordinary boys are, and generaily at the teacher's ex.penise. Mschief îs 1very dear to the average boy's heart, and what better time to practise it than when the teacher is busy with a lass at the front to safeguard ob- servation. But let not such an one think he had detraeted Mr. Barber's attention. At the rate of a mile a minute would corne hurtling through the air a twelve inicb ebony ruler, landing neatly and safely by the side of the punil "carrying on". No need to speak of the electrifying effcect or the dead silence which followed, during' which at a word of command from the teacher the misreant soberly carried thie ruler back- to its proper resting- place amid the smnothered giggles of the ýýjuniors. *There was mutinious rebellion on the boyish face and the red blbod of murder swelled ia bis veins-but lie gave no sign. Of course, had that ebony missie defiected by ever s0 slight a -margin, the result more than once would have spelled disaster. But the aîm was so accurate that no one was ever hurt. Kids in that day were not even supposed to have any nerves. W!lhat we did most wîckedly wish for was retaliation, but our boys were made of that stuf wbich later made military discipline an easy matter for their sons. How- ever, boylike, they did a lot of bluff- ing on the playground iter. What they would not do to the tencher Iwhen they became men and in their imagination the' poor feilow was a cringing creature praying for mercy of bis stalwart combatants, while, of course, none was granted, ind an ad- miring circle of small fryt ok every- thing in dead earnest, and beheld the cruel oppressor as good as siain be- fore their eyes. W. aIl know bow quickly such in- cidents seemn to fade from the child mind, but long, long years after the imprint is discovered as distinct as ever, only with this difference--that what we sincerely believed to be tragedy develops Iter into comedy. At that time we could not realize that the benefit of the teacher's neat shot wns to rouse sluggish brains and bodies to greater activity, thus tak- ing the place of the diversified rout- ine of to-day. Some of Mr. Barber' s cleverest, pupils where bis own distinguîshed childrea, Ida and llerbert,,Miss Jen- nie Eellyar, Mrs. (Rev.) S. T. Bart- lett, Miss Ida Bingham, Mrs ,John I. Bell, Arche Bingham and A. E. Man- ning, now Principal. of Strathcona School, Hamilton, the first two on the list becoming eminent doctors and the latter four successful teachers ln the neighborhood until called to larger activities. W. wonder how many of the old girls and boys recall the desktops we used to have wîth hinges on ?: Oh boy!1 Themh wuz the days! Once get the tendher busy wîth a pupil or a class or best of al bis back turned to the world, and up would go a desk-lid la searcli of some runnway text book or innyhap to straighten the contents of the desk. But what a tîme it would ýtake to do it, nnd how many snow appfles were stealthîy crunched, and how many volum 'es not strictly on the list of school books were eagerly devoured at the same time! If one became very studious, more than likely the theme was "Jane Er." or Miss Alcott's "Little est se ns. of the term. 5o far as my recollection goes, there neyer was any bint of troublel betweea teacher and pupils during the years le spent la Tyrone. With Iseniors lie was particularly success- over a word which in saner moments Would come as natural as breathing -and to stop to consider was nlways a fatal sign. Whea once the big scholars went down the tension slightiy reiaxed but was maintained pretty tîghtly until the last two wiry contestants lad won or lost their Waterloo. Inasmucb -as no on. can justly dlaim credit for being n good spelier, since it is a natural gift, no better feelings rankled againstthe winner, thougli ench trove. bard for the posi- tion. Jin. Brown was neyer too proud to enter the lists anad always graciously nccepted bis fate on the occasions when lie mispelled taking bis seat with a 1smile, and very well pleased with the experience. With the departure of Mr. Andrus welost one who was a teacher la the truest -sense of the word, and gave to more than one of bis pupils the benefit of High School education. Miss Mary Manning (now, Mrs. Amos Bond), Roland, Man., was one of bis most clever and successful pupils, and, doubtless, there are oth- ers who couid ris. to do him honor. For some time after, there did not appear to be very good work don. la the old school, probably owing to the difficulty thea as now of obtnining really first class teachers in a count- ry village. Mr. McCulîough, who hnd poor health and wbose nerves were in sncb a pitiabIe condition as to unfit hlm, for the straîn of teaching, took charge for a while, followed inter by C. K.ý Grigg. Mr. Grigg remnined' for a considerable time and was quit. suc- cessful thougb not in the degree of some of bis predecessors. Teachers and preachers are often unap iup ngainst it tbrough no particular fault of their own. L A. W. TOLE, REAL ESTATE AGENT 85-t EowuanvllePhono a41.
