When "Orv-rd Was Young. ,
Our great colleges 1111 had small begin-I
dings, and some of thorn had pretty hard
beginnings, as the following ancient rom-
lnlsoenco of our first. university shows:
At 11:11 it. was truly a school only and
vwas taught by one Nathaniel Eaton.a
scholar of most disreputable IIIomory, who
' was dischnrgml by the general court for
“cruel and barbarous beating of Mr. Na-
thaniel Briscoo and for other neglecting
and misusing of his scholars," a sentence
of the most righteous nature.
This brutal mun had a rule that “he
would not give over correcting until he
had subdued the party to his will,” and
1 in this exercise he used, on one occasion at
' least, as Governor Winthrop tells us, “:11

But this was not all, for, although the

their beds at times.

Thanksgiving, unlike Christmas, is not
especially the children's day. It is a time
for the reunion of families, in whilih, of
course, the children are included, but they
do not occupy the chief place, as at their
own festival. 'Bnt we all desire to make
the special holidays bright spots in the
lives of the children. The peculiar features
of each should be emphasized so thatas
they come round to after years they will
bring with them something of the old
childish joyousness, which no lapse of time
can wholly deprive them of if they have
been surcharged with it in early life.—
