Dear Joe:—
IVe get started tala aohool here la
tow* now. It's lot different (m*
Dm school at boats. It'll taka bm
three year* ta graduate even If I pan*
every time.
You cant tare around bare with
out you bare a rule for doing it. Ye*
eant go downstairs at recset —1—r
there ie a teeeber alongside of yoa,
aad yoa eaat go ayataho after yoa
girt dowa unless a bell rings aad
there'* a toast nr watching every time
you put yoar left foot out. Do yoa
rsmsrabo* the time Uaelo John took
«u to visit the penitentiary and we
saw the “ooae” go into dinner! WeO
that's the way we ra If anything
•heuM happen that would land me
to the “pen" seme day I'll bn used to
that part of It, wont I! I've seen
sixteen teachers doing guard duty
around here already, end I've only
been going three days.
Yob doe* have a tin cap to drink
oat ad hare. You ge up and stick
yo«r month against a pipe that*
•prang a leak over a wash bowl, aad
drink like a caw.
You got to go dawn in the collar
aad oat poor dinner on a bench with
poor back against a stone wall. Yea
got to pat all your crumbs in a bas
ket or gat sent to the office. Thera
ala* no birds nor squirrel! here to
shyjrour crumbs at like there is at
T** e®ce is the place where the
man who ia “K" stays. He ia like a
county superintendent only be visits
you uftener. He don* do no reach
ing; he does the licking. I haven*
got a licking yet, but I'm expecting
one most any time. I got tent to the
office today for calling her "teach
er." The man who ia “it" at our
school was sitting there welling lor
•omethmg to kick about. He asked
what I had doae and I told him
“nothing." He jumped up and said,
“Young man. stand in that comer
till I tell you to move."
I stood and he wont out Pretty
soon he came back and told mo that
if I error again waa disrespectful to
Miss Browns again he would have to
resort to corporal punishment. He
I wan to address ber always as
"Mfsa Browne" and never be guilty
**yiag »uch a thing as “teacher”
•gain. Ha said a lot more. Thera
ain't much la the office hut a table
and a big chair, and there's a nail
for him to hang hi* overcoat on and
-a bhsfcrt of. waste paper. I Booked
‘corporal punishment" up In the dic
tionary. It means licking, Joe. So,
that’s what I'm up against if | ever
do it again, bat, say. if you waa a
teacher would you get huff y if a fel
low called you that instead of “Mis#
Browne?” She is more stylish *h-n
year teacher out there. She hat a
bigger wad of hair and wean paint
on her face every day, but she don’t
sing out “Hello, Sam,” when she
meats you on the street. She just
walks along and acta like I. wasn’t
in ten miles of her. She wean five
rings and a stiff collar.
Gee! I wish ma’d 1st me go out to
visit you pretty soon. Seems like
ITl bust If I can’t get somewhere an
that 1 can just walk without having
• receipt for it The city ain’t what
M> cracked up to be, Joe. The kids
dent know beans here. She
■a yesterday bow many had seen a
threshing machine week, and I was
the only one.
I*m going to get some marbles to
night. I know a place where you can
tut three dossn for a nickel.
Wall, aa bag, Joe. Don’t forgot
*e feed my deg. I hated to leave
kte there, hut you have te pay tana
on him harm.
