When Dr. Taimage Went to School

Well do I remember how hard it was to sit on a long bench at school and be quiet for several hours, and how often I transgressed and became fidgety. I have a vivid remembrance yet of the sensation caused by a rattan arriving at sixty miles an hour on the open palm. It was very hard work at school to repress giggles and chuckles and smiles, and, like other boys, I suffered for failing to do so. —Dr. Talmage, in New York Journal.
