Griffin, was found the other day at Hernando and is re produced in the Evening Star of Meridian. It is a pity that such rules are not enforced today. The average education seems to be conducted upon exactely con trary principles. The rules follow: 1. Any scholar who comes to school without washing their face and hands, and combing their hair, shall have two cuts well laid on. 2. Anyone coming to or go ing from school meeting a per son or persons, and do not make their obeisance and speak politely to them, shall have to do. 3. Any of the scholars when talking to a person, if to a man, do not answer him yes sir, or if to a woman yes madam, as the case may require, shall have three cuts well laid on. 5 If any of the boys are known by me to wear their hats in the house at home, school or abroad, shall have two lashes Well laid on. 5 If the boys are known bj me to play with the girls, or trouble their playgrounds, or if the girls go to play with the boys or trouble their playgrounds, for each offense they shall have twc lashes. 6 When a person or person! come into a schoolhouse, thos< who do not rise and make theii obeisance (when spoke), thei take their seats and be attentiv< to business during the time th< person or persons stay, shall have shall have two cuts lai< on. 7 Those who tell tales out o school, and do not give a true ac , count of what they tell, or if the; raise a falsity to make an inter ruption in school,shall have foui cuts to do. , 8 If any of the scholars ar known by me to curse, swear l quarrel fight, call each other b; i nicknames or use any profan 1 language, shall have seven cut to do. 9 If any are known by me t | climb trees, wrestle or scuffle to tear or dirty their cloths, shall have three to do. 10 If any scholar is known by me to play or loiter on the road when coming to or going from school, shall have two cuts well laid on. 11 If anyone should enter to this school who are young men or women and don ot feel disposed to comply with the rules of the school, if they violate them, they shall leave the school to their own great shame and disgrace. 12 If any should be known to violate of any of the above mentioned rules, and do not im mediately, or as soon as conven ient, give me information, shall be subject to half the penalty of the rule violated. 13 If any scholar is known by me to tag another in the evening j after school, he or she shall be) punished according to the crime. Also laughing out and telling in school strictly forbidden under the penalty of a flogging. The teacher may not have been a rhetorician, but he evidently knew how to make his wishes to be known, and if there was any doubt about his meaning, a couple of cuts well laid on must have been enlightening and eleva ting - --#• Petition for Pardon. 1 State of Mississippi, Lee County’ To Governor James K.
