Did Not Spoil Pupils.
A set of rules for a school in
Mississippi, evidentiy taught by
Wade H. 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
