A boy paid his first visit to one of the public schools as a scholar, and, as he came home at night, his mother inquired: “Well, Henry, how do you like going to school?” “Bully!” he replied, in an excited voice; “I saw four boys licked, one girl get her ear pulled, and a big scholar burn his elbow on the stove. I don’t want to miss a day.”
