" His son stood near and promptly said, "It soon will hardened be, If you will 'lick it, ' dad, I know That's how you hardened me. " 71 I SHAKE IT OUT OF HIM A TEACHER said, "There is one boy I will not stand; The sullen, stubborn boy who sulks, When I command. " "I will not reason with that boy, Nor patience show; I'll shake it out of him, that he My power may know. " O, blighter of the souls of boys! O, tyrant blind! Such boys need doctors, and the smiles Of teachers kind. A gloomy farmer cam...e to get His photograph; He looked like one who never hau A jolly laugh. The new photographer said, "Smile ! No change was made; "O smile, sir, smile!" he said again; The sad look stayed. "Come, you must smile!" he louder said. He failed again. He took a pistol in his hand And shouted then, 72 "Smile, will you!" He was quite as wise As teachers mad, Who shake the sulky, stubborn boys To make them glad. 73 THE DUNCE LUCY was merely "the dunce" to me. Dullest of all in the school was she. "Dunce" she was called when to teach I came, And I remembered that conscious shame Burned on her cheeks with indignant flame, When she was called that degrading name.
