Show BLANK General Montgomery enjoys telling tell-ing stories about his schooldays in Austrialia, where his father was an Episcopal bishop. One of the characters char-acters who frequently figures in these stories is a teacher who was overly dignified and pompous. His name, according to the general, was Israel Snodgrass. One day Teacher Snodgrass went to the blackboard to start the day's lessons. The moment he turned his back there was a little disturbance in the class somewhere, and he pivoted piv-oted around to face the boys and glare at them until they quieted down. "I shall now illustrate what I have on my mind," he said, impressively, im-pressively, as he completely erased the board. |
