148 everything that he undertakes better than he would have done without this training. Such work as this, they say, " educates his ideas." With this mallet and some wedges Benny was splitting wood. He had a piece of wood — one of the pieces which the boys had procured from under the bench in Ebenezer's shop — which he was splitting up. The piece of wood was about a foot long, and Benny was playing make shingles with it. He had a case- knife which Bridget had lent him. With this he made a littl...e cleft in the end of the wood, to insert the edge of his wedge into, and then drove in the wedge with his mallet. In this way, as the wood was very straight-grained, he could split oflF a series of long and thin pieces; and as he made the pieces very thin, the wedge split them off quite easily. "John,'' said he, "I am making some very nice shingles indeed." " Let me see one of them," said John. So Benny carried some of his shingles to the table to show them to John. John said they were very nice indeed.
