Many adults are shocked by the things
the kids get away with in school these days.
The Ministry of Education can't seem to
decide which is the best teaching system.
FirSt, they closed the small one-room
schools and built huge new ones with
dozens of classrooms. Now they're tearing
olit a few partitions. The result is some
patsy classrooms run in an unorthodox style.
With the banishment of the strap, the
teachers lost much of their control over the
students, and a few parents contend the
kids now have the upper hand:
"Things were certainly different back in
our schooldays," we adults contend.
Or were they? Think back and be
completely-honest. Didn't more go on than
reading, writing, 'rithmetic and minding
the Golden Rule?
Of course, most of us were model
students, but we can all recall our schools'
mavericks.They were the ones that stood
tacks upside-down in the teachers' boots
and developed ,a deadly r aim with their
erasers,
On class hikes through the woods, they
always managed to find a patch of leeks
and to stuff themselves. They were
subsequently. relegated to, the end of the
line 'by their teacher and fellow students
alike . When they returned to the
elassreim, they sat alone. Perhaps they
thought, if they become unpopular enough,
the teacher would send them' home.
Bekre the schools had running water,
a different student was selected each day
to fetch the water from the well.The
trouble-makers were the ones who took
short cuts through the back windows; some
of them didn't return until the next
morning.
When the students weren't allowed to
leave the school grounds between ninc
o'clock in the morning and three in, the
afternoon, it was considered daring to
sneak down to the creek for a swim during
the lunch hoar, One fellow remembers the
day he and two pals were spotted by their
teacher's boyfriend. For the next two
weeks, they spent their recesses and noon
hours inside.
The, true pranksters were dedicated to
contriving new stunts, and each one had to
be bolder than the previous ohes..
For example, two bigger bays took
advantage of a heat register, about 3' by
3', in the centre of the floor. They removed
the cover' and were threatening to swing
one of the girls over the gaping hole when
the teacher came running.
In a local school, the back door opened at.
the end of a cupboard. A former student
recalls that someone balanced a pail 'of
water on the top of the cupboard and on the
'edge of the door, which stood ajar. The
next person to open the, door was the,
teacher. • •
Three other boys took a goat to school
one morning. They went early for the
purpose of arriving before the teacher. (I'll
bet it was the only time they went early).
They teased the goat until he was in a
rage, and when they saw the sschoolmam
coming, they turned him loose.
Meanwhile a lady remembers one of her
teachers a nun wearing a tong black
habit. After the May 24 holiday, a couple of
girls saved sonic firecrackers. They
sneaked up behind the nun, while she
wrote on 'the .blackboard. One of them
gingerly lifted her skirt, while the other
slid a firecracker under and lit it.
Isn't it shocking what the kids got aw ay
with in school back in those days?

of Northside U.C.W. was held at
the home of Mrs: Pat Bennett

members of the staff I was able to
attend.
Dr. Whitman had with him a
ca rton-fi II ed 7wi th small containers
each filied,„ with a freshly
propagated plant which, he
generously distributed among the
ladies. Each went home happy
with a plant of their own choice.
'fhe meeting developed into an
informal question and answer
session. •
The speaker knew all the
answers to n umerous queStions.
A' social time followed when a
novel Easter lunch was served by

Save most where you
use most
Most famillet use as much electricity in a month to dry the
laundry as they do in two years of vacuuming the rugs. Or in
seven years of electric shaving. •
That kind-bf comparison makes it easy to spot the heavy users
of electric power in your home. Major appliances like clothes
dryers, refrigerator-freezers, ranges, air conditioners, hot water
heaters and furnace fans can waste hundreds of kilowatt hours
each month unless they. are 'used with care.
(A kilowatt-hour is onethousan,d watts, used .11-1
for'one hour. For example, ten 100-watt bulbs "Veo,„
burning for an hour.)
Waste is costly. Try to involve your whole
family in a campaign for the wise use of electricity,
particularly in the areas of heaviest use.
The 171yconservation booklet "How you use
the electricity you use" can help you. Ask for a free copy.
