Bad Boy’s Punishment Effective.

“Down in Jefferson county we used* to have some pretty smart school teachers,” says Judge Simpson S. Ford of Cleveland, 0. “A schoolmate of mine was due for a ‘hiding’ one time and prepared for It by putting on three extra suits of underwear and two extra pairs of trousers before he started for school. Our teacher’s eagle eye was quick to note George’s astonishing increase in bulk. It was a raw day in February and there was a roaring ash Are blazing in the big stove. When the time came for George to get his dues the teacher said, -quietly, ‘George, you will go over by the stove and stand up until I tell you to return to your seat.’ George obeyed, and in about ten minutes he was mighty sor ry that he hadn't taken the whipping he had expected to get instead of the roasting he was getting. George stood by that red hot stove for two hours and was the most thoroughly ‘cured’ offender against school discipline J have ever known.”
