was; e into contact with those boys。 She would be Standard

Five teacher; as far away personally from her class as if she

had never set foot in St。 Philips school。 She would just

obliterate them all; and keep herself apart; take them as

scholars only。

So her face grew more and more shut; and over her flayed;

exposed soul of a young girl who had gone open and warm to give

herself to the children; there set a hard; insentient thing;

that worked mechanically according to a system imposed。

It seemed she scarcely saw her class the next day。 She could

only feel her will; and what she would have of this class which

she must grasp into subjection。 It was no good; any more; to

appeal; to play upon the better feelings of the class。 Her

swift…working soul realized this。

She; as teacher; must bring them all as scholars; into

subjection。 And this she was going to do。 All else she would

forsake。 She had bee hard and impersonal; almost avengeful on

herself as well as on them; since the stone throwing。 She did

not want to be a person; to be herself any more; after such

humiliation。 She would assert herself for mastery; be only

teacher。 She was set now。 She was going to fight and subdue。

She knew by now her enemies in the class。 The one she hated

be so classed。 He could read with fluency; and had plenty of

cunning intelligence。 But he could not keep still。 And he had a

kind of sickness very repulsive to a sensitive girl; something

cunning and etiolated and degenerate。 Once he had thrown an

ink…well at her; in one of his mad little rages。 Twice he had

run home out of class。 He was a well…known character。

And he grinned up his sleeve at this girl…teacher; sometimes

hanging round her to fawn on her。 But this made her dislike him

more。 He had a kind of leech…like power。

From one of the children she took a supple cane; and this she

determined to use when real occasion came。 One morning; at

position; she said to the boy Williams:

〃Why have you made this blot?〃
