Grant Remembers His Schoolmaster. General Grant says in his posthumous book: "I did not like to work, but I did as much of it when young as grown men can be hired to do in these days, - and at- I tended school at the same time. I nad as many privileges as any boy in the village, vil-lage, and probably more than the most of them. I have no recollection of ever having been punished, at home, either by scolding or by the rod ; but at school the case was different. The rod was freely used there, and I was not exempted from its influence. I can see John D. White, the schoolmaster, now, with his long birch switch always in his hand." :
