[Sidenote: Passing to Classroom]
The bell rang in the East Aurora High School for the beginning of the
first period. Miss Wilcox took her accustomed stand by the door of her
section room. Thirty-five young men and women filed out on their way to
the first class of the day.
They passed the next classroom door, where Miss Michael, the mathematics
teacher, stood. Her attitude was pleasant but firm. She was expecting
order.
After turning the corner of the building, they were met by Miss Aldrich,
the science teacher, into whose room they marched, still in single file.
To one boy, who had been especially troublesome in line at the beginning
of the year, she said, “Splendid, Joseph, you are getting so that you
can turn as square a corner as a cadet.”
The next case is a good illustration of what a teacher should _not_ do
in attempting to secure regulated conduct. The story is its own
sufficient comment.
