Σελίδα 69 - When shackled, he cannot walk but in a very slow measured pace ; being obliged to take six steps when confined, for two when at liberty. Thus accoutred, he is ordered to walk round the school-room, till tired out.... he is glad to sue for liberty, and promise his...
Σελίδα 71 - Few punishments are so effectual as confinement after school hours. It is, however, attended with one unpleasant circumstance. In order to confine the bad boys in the school-room, after school hours, it is often needful the master, or some proper substitute for him, should confine himself in school, to keep them in order.
Σελίδα 74 - Decorate the offender with matches, ballads; (dying-speeches, if needful;) and, in this garb send him round the school, with some boys before him, crying matches, &c. exactly imitating the dismal tones with which such things are hawked about the streets in London, as will readily recur to the reader's memory. I believe many boys behave rudely to Jews, more on account of the manner in which they cry, 'Old Clothes,
Σελίδα 40 - First column. 1 and 9 are 16, and 3 are 19, and 5 are 24 : set down 4* under the 7, and carry 2 to the next.
Σελίδα 68 - On a repeated or frequent offence, after admonition has failed, the lad to whom he presents the card has liberty to put a wooden log round his neck, which serves him as a pillory, and with this he is sent to his seat. This machine may weigh from four to six pounds, some more and some less.
Σελίδα 69 - Occasionally boys are put in a sack, or in a basket suspended to the roof of the school, in sight of all the pupils, who frequently smile at the birds in the cage. This punishment is one of the most terrible that can be inflicted on boys of sense and abilities.
Σελίδα 72 - ... punishment, continued constantly in use, becomes familiar, and loses its effect. Nothing but variety can continue the power of novelty. Happily, in my institution, there are few occasions of punishment; and this conduces much to the pleasure it affords me. The advantages of these modes of correction, are, that they can be inflicted, so as to give much uneasiness to the delinquents, without disturbing the mind or temper of the master.
Σελίδα 18 - This method of spelling seems to be excellent: it being entirely an addition to the regular course of studies, without interfering with, or deranging them in the least. It commands attention, gratifies the active disposition of youth, and is an excellent introduction and auxiliary to writing. It supersedes, in a great measure, the use of books in tuition, while (to speak moderately) it doubles the actual improvement of the children. It is as simple an operation as can well be conceived. — Thus,...
Σελίδα 57 - EMULATION AND REWARDS In spelling by writing on the slate, the performances of the scholars are inspected, sometimes by the monitor of their class, often by an inspecting monitor, and occasionally by the master. Printing in the sand is inspected in the same manner as in the new method of teaching arithmetic. Every boy is placed next to one who can do as well or better than himself: his business is to excel him, in which case he takes precedence of him. In reading, every reading division has the numbers,...
Σελίδα 88 - List, and the Office of Monitor-General Every monitor should wear in school a printed or leather ticket, gilt, and lettered thus: — Monitor of the first class — Reading Monitor of the second class — Monitor of the third class, with variations for Arithmetic, Reading, Spelling, &c.
