Boys went to school In olden Athens--if their parents could afford to send them. The boys were usually taught by three teachers. One taught them to read and write. Another gave lessons in music and poetry. The third taught leaping, running, wrest- ling and other gymnastics. There were no public schools. The lads were sent to the houses of men who made a business of teaching. The fathers had to pay money to the teachers... The classes were . very i small perhaps only half a dozen pup- ils. The schoolmaster was severe-- he often beat his pupils so cruelly that large welts were raised on their backs. The parents did not inter- fere, for they thought beatings were needed for the best results. It was very hard to learn to read because the letters were all bunched together, and only capital letters were used. There were no punctua- tion marks. Try to read the following English words: THISISTOSHOWYOUHOWDIFFICU LTITMUSTHAVEBEENFORTHEAT HENIANCHILDRENTOLEADNTOR EADTHEGREEKLANGUAGEHOW WOULDYOULIKETOHAVETOUREAD WORDSANDSENTENCESW ITHOUT PERIUDSCOMMASORQUESTIONM ARKS It ix not easy to read words all bunched together like that even after you know how to read ordinary writ- Ing and printing. Suppoee you had been told to leara to read such crowded letters when you were just eateriag school! That was what the Greek boys were forced to do. Son £52 To learn to write, they traced or! copied letters written by the teach- | ers on wax "tablets." The tablets were flat pieces of wood covered on one side with wax. The writing was done with a "stylus," a pointed metal pen. One end of the stylus was | blunt. This end was the "eraser." | It was used to smooth the wax when ! a mistake was made. -- Older boys sometimes wrote on papyrus with ink. Girls did not go to school in anec- ient Athens. They were kept at home and taught the "household arts." It they ever learned to read and write, it was by the aid of their mothers or nurses. Some girls were taught to spin, weave, sew and embroider.

Glassified Ads. Have Human Appeal; Carry Stories of Joys And Sorrows The average persomr might read the classified ads day after day, week after week, month after month, even year after year without ever sens- ing the human interest frequently linked with these tiny appeals, winica often flash the light on odd, and sometimes pathetic phases of that complex thing called life. But the reader whose vision pene- trates below the surface encounters --more frequently than one would wish--ads that lay bare the suffer- ing of agonized hearts, It may be the sorrowful inquiry of. some mother, seeking the where- abouts of her wandering eon; the cry of some deserted wife urging her husband to come back to the hearth derolated by his absence; the tearful plea of the girl for the return of her lover, whom she had driven from her side in anger born of some fan- cied slight, which then loomed moun- tain-large, but which now seems oh, so trivial. It may be the anxiety of a father or mother that manifests itself in the ad asking for the return of some pet. A Mberal reward will bs peid, this advertisement informs us, for the return of a collie pup with four white feet and white tip to his tail. "Sick child inconsolable," the ad goes on to say. Now and then, a classified ad brings to the surface the grief some woman is suffering at being compell- ed to part with keepsakes handed down to her by loved ones who have gone . and whose memory she cherishes. The rere old pieces of mahogany were her great-grandmother's, her grandmother's and her mother's. She, herself, wore that bit of old-fashion- ed jewelry on that night of nights when her handsome young lover, long since dead, asked her to be his wife. She had clung to these and | other possessions, valued for their associations and memories, as long as she could, but poverty, that has A SPANKING MACHINE WOULD DO GOOD SERVICE Geared 80 As to Whack With Different Degrees of Severity. Winnipeg, Sept. 17.--A spanking machine, which would have instru- ments varying from a broad paddle to cAt-of-nine tails, and so geared as ie er 5 grown more and more harassing, has at last compelled her to offer them for sale. Hemce the ad. Even an advertisement, offering a furnished apartment to let--surely prosaic and commonplace enough on the surface--may breathe its heart- ache. Only a short time ago--ot least it seems a short time ago to her--4ihe girl had come from her vil- lage home to the city to carve out a career for herself. Now, she is go- ing back, saddened, crushed, disillu- sioned, back to the old folks who were so sure of her success. Back to them to oonfess that she is a fail- ure. No wopder her eyes are red from weeping when she admits to the little apartment she furnished with such enthusfasm strangers wilo have come to see it in response to her ad. Sometimes harsh discordant notes are sounded. There is the angry pro- test of the husband whose mate has left him, lured from her home, may- hap, by some handsome lounge lizard | who dances divinely. You can pic-! ture the husband's righteous wra'h! as he shouts through the advertise- | ment that he will no longer be re- sponsible for debts contracted by the faithless one who has left her bed and board. There is the wistful appeal of the small-salaried worker who wants to get his ailing white-faced children cut into the country, but who can't really afford to send them there. If he can find a place that is reasonably cheap he will send them though it means he must wear that thin, threadbare overcoat again the com- ing winter, and his cough all the time getting worse. In another modest home gladness has superseded despair. The young husband, after long idleness, has found work through a classified ad. That means meat on the table again and clothes that the children sorely need. And an evening now and them at the movies and perhaps ice cream for Sunday dinner. . to be administered with different de- grees of severity, was advocated to take place of jail sentences for first offenders under the criminal code, by crown prosecutor, R. B. Graham. PROBS: --Tuesday fair and about same temperature. K.C. today. Mr. Graham is serious about the proposition. The incorrig- ible offender could be "machine" spanked and tien sent back to his work and put'to the job of support- ing his family.
