The Huron Expositor, 1880-09-24, Page 22 SANDI:I r' JA11 E S ON. AMUSING EXPERIENCES IN .i SCOTCH SCHOOL BOARD. CHAPTRR 1. Everybody in Whinyknoves knew 'Sandy Jamieson. WitinyknOwes was described hi the gazetteer as "a small village in East Lothian." The Whiny knowites had a notion that it was not a small tillage. But the gazetteer was rig,ht, and Sandy Jamieson might have been more widely kuown had the place been larger'. Sandy Jamiesoa was vari- ously estimated. By his neighbors in general he was accounted a • canny, donee kind of a man,, ofa pawkie turn of mind, and with strongly marked economic tendencies. The laird, who had been the previous occupant of Sandy's shop;- regarded him as "a de. cent sort of a creature in a small way of business." Sandy described himself, in large capitals over his shop front, as "Post- master and General Merehant; ' and to his intimate friends and acquaintances he recounted several other social quali- flcations, past; presentand prospective, that had, did, and would distinguish him. He was looked upon as a weel- to-do man, and his Biller had been amassed in that negative way so dear to many of his countrymen. He could not be said to have made it; but the bawbees, had timbled in of themselves, as it were, aae&not one had Peen spent that could -possibly be saved. He possessed another national virtue—she had an excellent opinion of himself, and his wife had been more or leas coerced into the same way of thinking. The story opens with a conversation between the two. "There's gaup to be a Schule Board in our parish, Elsie," observed the post master, as he knocked the ashes out of a long clay pipe which he had been smoking for the last ten minutes, in silent contemplation of the social revo- lution hiswords portended. "A Schule Board ?" inquired his better half, looking over her spectacles at him;, "what i' the world's that., • gudernan ?" "On, d'ye no ken what a Schule Board is 2" rejoined Sandy, answering one question with another—a practice not uncommon in the "Land o' Cakes." "Is't a black: board for the Moister to chalk on 2" "Chalk — fiddlesticks 1" interrupted Sandy, with a gesture of contempt. "Weel, is't a board by the roadside tellin' folk the way td the schule 7" "Gae awa with your haivers, woman —a Schule Board is a lot of men. "How do they call them a Board,. then ?" demanded Elsie, rather net- tled. "'Deed, that's what I canna mak out myself." Sandy slowly refilled his pipe, while he tried anew to solve the problem. "'ye think, Sandy," suggested Elsie deferentially --and to show still further that it was only a surmise she presum- ed to indulge in, she changed from the present tense with which her question commenced, and continued in the fu- ture—" Wul.l't be,d'ye think,that they've thick wooden heids, and so they ca' them boards, just like the maister called us blockheads ?" "Weel, I niver !" exclaimed Sandy, losing all patience. "Woman, the Belittle Board will be the best men • in the pairish." "0 -oh 1" rejoined Elsie, with a pro- longed intonation, meant to be 'severely sarcastic, "and are you to be a Board, Sandy ?" "So they tell me. "And what's to be done wi' ye when they've gotten ye ?" asked Else rather snappishly. "Done wi' the Board ?" , ye ding a' withyour ignorance. Done wi' the Board ? Naething's to be donee -with them it's only them that's to do things." "Eh me !. oh, ay ! and what are they gaup to do, if it be fair to speir ? Are they gams back to the fair. again ?" "Woman, will -ye ever learn sense ? How conld auld men gang to the schule again ?" "What will they do then .?'" persisted Elsie. "Do. ? They're gaun ,to mak grand speeches about eddieatio-n, and have meetin's every fortnight.;" "And sit round a big table, I deur say," said Elsie, pursuing the descrip- tion, "like.lawyerss in the oourt." "Ay, just that." "That's the way," exclaimed Elsie; with a sudden inspiration, "that'sthe way they call it a Schule Board, then. 1" "What way ?" "Because they all sit round a board. But it would have been mair genteel' to have called it a Schule Table." "Weal, maybe ye're,richt," said Sandy, cousidering. "1 mann think that owre." "But what need they :fash about eddi- cation, Sandy ; "isna there twa schules in the pairish already 2" "Now ye're speakin' sense. Ay, there's twa schules in the pairish, and. they bate one another like pisen. One's better off than the other, ye see, and what's more, they're denominaw- tional, so we are gaup to mak them equal." "That seems fair eneuch, Sandy ; but wall they agree till't, think ye 2" "Agree till't ?" Od,, they mann agree till't. The Board'lI have meetin's and. gar them agree till't," "And how many wall be at your meetin's, gudeman ?"- i "I understand there's to be seven o' us, and we mann be all men o' poseesh- nu. So there'sto be John Black o' the Lowes, Tammas Saunders o' Myreside, Stevens o' Deukdub, Tarrson o' Glen - shoe Rab Nisbet o' the Glen, Geordie Anderson o' Mucklehoise, and mysel'." "But ye've forgotten the -minister, Sandy." "We're ga.un to have no ministers. They've gotten their noses in owre many' things already." "But ministers ken mair about a' thing than ither folk." "They used to do, but that's no the case now." "Aye, but Sandy, yell no have a blessin' without the man o' God among y- „ "Hoots, woman, we can ax one our - eels. He's no different free other folk ; and wha is he after a' ?--only the auld- est son o' Steenie Scott, the horse Couper." "But who ever heard tell o' a meetin' without a minister ? Wha's to start ye off ?" •.I tell'ee he has owre muekle to do already. He tell't us so his sel'." tic "What's he gotten to • o but preac a wlieen auld sermons 7" "Auld sermons? I.w • uld like to :Fee him." said Sandy ; " • e'd 180011 = P him at that game. 1= ken not • g about it, woman.

Is that no plea y for the man 2" "Aid what else pare a gaun to forbye eddication, Sand ?" "Ou, we've gotten to ;look after schules, and all the bai ns in 1 pairish." 1I "But what do you k h a out bair Sandy ? ye've never ha n ne o' V ain." "Ye ken nee mair yo rsel " "But.I'm no gaun t be a Boa d. And what ken ye about schules eith r?

"It looks sic a hidden thing—write on a pap box, and wastin' so mu sealin'-waw" When, however, he feta as being second in the orde he immediately mounted thinking it his duty to ina began— "Leddies- and gentler(' toured. as I am to public- s "Sit down, Sandy, sit do ed a friend.
