Miss Lydia Peterson of Spartanburg apent the Week-end with relatives, DID HE DECEIVE THEM? SCHOOLMASTER'S ASSERTION WAS NEVER VERIFIED. True or Not, However, it Had the Ef. fect of Making Culprits Own Up to Guilt and Take the Consequences. Describing the lighter side of school life, Ian Hay, the Scotch novel tst, tells of a schoolmaster,who called his boys together. "A very unpleasant and discredit. able thing has happened," he said. "The municipal authorities have re. cently erected~ a pair of extremely ornate and expensive lampposts out side the residence of the mayor of the town. "Those laiii)ostn appear to have attracted the unfavorable notice of the school. "Last Sunday evening, between seven and eight .o'clock, they were at tacked and wrecked, apparently by volleys of stonle." There was a faint but appreciative murmur from those members of the school to whom the news of this out rage was now made public for the first time. But a baleful flash from the schoolmaster's spectacles re stored instant silence. "Several parties of boys." he con tinued, "must have passed these lami) posts on that evening, on their way back to their respective houses after chapel. I wish to see all boys who In any way participated in tile out rage in my study directly after second school. I warn them that I shall make a severe example of them." His voice rose to a blare. "I will not have the prestige and fair fame of the school lowered in the eyes of the town by the vulgar bar barities of a parcel of ill-conditioned little street boys. You may go!" The audience rose to their feet and began to steal silently away. But they were puzzled. The Old Man was no fool, as a rule. Did lie really iniag Ine that chaps would be such mugs as to own lip? But before the first boy reached the door the head spoke again. "I may mention," lie added very gently, "that the attack upon the-er lampposts was witnessed by a gentle man resident in the neighborhood, a warm friend of the school. He was able to i(entify one of the culprits, whose name is in my possession. That is all." And quite enough, too. When the schoolmaster visited his study after second school lie found 17 malefactors meekly awaiting chastisement. But lie never divulged the name of the boy who had been recognized, or, for that matter. lie identity of the warm friend of the school. I won der! Canada's 72-Inch Reflector.
