We hope, by exeVrcisinlg'U Going to SchooI In Shakespeare's Day Now for the school in Shake- spe-are's day, Shak~espeare w4 aillowed to jolin the school whean lie had reached the aàge of seven years . . . Shakespare's class- room was lonig and, uarrow and timnbered. There would be a deslc-for the schoalmaster aiiê sinaller desks, benches and forme for the seholars. For les- sons, S hakespeare would lear». Latin, somne arithmnetir and a littie Greek. English was nat a sechooI eubject, but it is interest- ing to record that it was a schoolinaster who ' was alive when Shakespeare lived who first pleaded that the Englishl language should be taught in school. We -et a description of school 1f e written in 1812 by Jolin Brinsley. Brinsley was Head- mnaster of Ashiby-de-la-Zou4s Grammar School from 1601- 1617. He wrote: Of schioal times, intermissionis and recreations, the school time should begin et six, ail who write Latin ta makre their exercises which w e re given overniglit, in that hour be- fore Severi. Thus they are te continue until rine.. .Then *& aine, to jet themn have a quarter of an hour at least, or inort, for intermission, either f or breakfast ., for lionest recrea- tian, or te prepare their exer- cises against the master's corn- ing in.

It was Ragýer Ascliari, wha tauglit Queeni Eli- zabeth, wha pleaded that chiUý_ drea corild be better taugl4,, and leirn better, if controlled by love and not by violence. Rager Asclian wrote: 1I do gladiy agree with ail good schooalnmas- ters in these Points: te hiave children brouglit te good per- fectaess in learning; toaalM lianesty in manners; ta have ail faults rgtyamnended; ta have every vice severely correcteL- This I know, not only by read- ig afi-books In my study, but aiseby experience af lufe abroad in the werld, that those which lie commonly the wijsest, the best learneti, and best men aiea when they be aid, were neyer commronly the quickest of wit when they were yaoung.
