THE OLD-TIME PEDAGOGUE.
They call ‘em all professors now, these chaps, at teaches school. ‘Cause they deal out eddication by a more refinin’ rule, But th’ intellectual parts with sciences they clog, Th’ a’nt nary one is ekal to the old-time pedagogue. •Jerusha! if he had a case of tutorin to do, He’d make the other feller do a little toilin’ too. And ef the mental engine sorter settled in a cog, With ile of birch he’d start ’er, would the old-time pedagogue. His train o’ knowledge hadn’t no currickerlums, or sitch. He engineered and fired ’er an* tended to the switch. An’ jus’ as easy as a beaver toppled from a log He’d land yer at yer station, would the old-time pedagogue. But nowadays they say a college course is just the cheese. , , An* what’s a college course but atherletics, if yer please ? An that we got—onless my brain is side tracted in a frog— In allerpathic doses from the oldtime pedagogue. —Selected.
