Show YOUTHFUL HDODLUMISM. Complaints art; made that peaceful peace-ful pedestrians' and teamsters can- ; not pass some of the district school houses without receiving a terrific pelting with snow balls from the school boys. This. is a sorry state of affairs ami it should not exist. But, gen lie men, why not lodge your complaints with the teachers of the said schools? They are the I proper persons to take up and suppress sup-press tins clement of hoodlumism" in the boys, who are under their direct supervision. The teachers, teach-ers, to a th-gree, are responsible for the acts of their pupils at recess and noontime. So they gel the credit of both the good and bad nets of their scholars, especially the bad acts. Some of the boys do certainly need a little drill in street etiquette. Just last week, a stranger was driving peacefully by one of our district school houses. A liiui.Kii reporter, Dr. Davidson and others wit nessed some forty boys rush out and attack him with snow balls. Th'-y followed him up. lie then turned and fried to set his big dog on them. Tho number of the boys frightened the animal hack. At last the stranger stopped his team and rising in his wrath, his face red with passion, 'hissed through his teeth: "Ves; you are nice little Mormons, you are!" and drove on, amid a shower of snow balls. |
