At School in India I t was a great event in the history of education in India tNew Pakistan, as result of partition of lndian Sub-Continent in 19471 in the year 1912, when Miss Lucie, an American missionary of the Methodist Church, laid the foundation of the build- ing of our School. It was really a bold step on the part of Miss Lucie, considering the fact that India in these days was very backward and girls were not very much inclined to education. It was a huge institution considering those olden days. It caters to the need of more than seven hundred girls today. The building is a very spacious one, having eighteen rooms, with an average of forty students in each room and besides this there is a library and two offices, one for the principal and the other for the head mistress. Also there is a big store room for keeping crockery utensils, ovens and coal, etc. There is one big hall which is just in the centre of the building and is used for prayers early in the morning every day, before the classes com- mence. On one side of the building there is a boarding house which accomodates nearly two hundred students. This boarding house is exclusively meant to help the underprivileged Christian students. All such students get free boarding and lodging. The Principal has one beautiful bungalow very close to the main entrance, so that she can have full view of the whole situation. There is one small refreshment room for soft drinks and eatables for the students. There are three vast playing grounds for dif- ferent games, such as net-ball, badminton, etc. This is surrounded completely by a wall nearly thirteen feet high. The building has brick and concrete work. We don't have any central or other heating system in our Country, as the climate is not cold there. As a result, such climates become an abode for flies and mosquito for which all doors and windows are provided with wire-netting besides window panes. The primary class students sit on the coir mat- ting, while the upper class students are provided with desks and chairs. All rooms are fitted with electric fans for use in the summ er. Sometimes during the winter when it becomes unbearable to sit in the room because of the chill, the classes are held outside the room in the open, under the warm and pleasant sunshine. One period is reserved every day for all the students for library where news papers, maga- zines and books are provided for all tastes. Once in every week there is a cooking a.nd laundry class where all students learning cooking, washing and other things concerning the household. The majority of the teachers are Pakistani Christians,but there are few American teachers too. The principal is also an American lady. Ours is a separate education that is only women teachers for girlfs schools. There are also a good number of institutions in our Country where they have the Co-education system, i- 6- the boys and girls together in the same school and class. - Naima Haq, l3C. P- Q35 :iii F-lffilri The Mob Henri Robe mounted the platform. A large, motley crowd 'filled the Paris square before him. Hundreds of blank, but restless eyes regarded him more or less attentively. He started to speak. In commanding tones,he first got their atten- tiong then started to weave his spell. His words were biting, his voice persuasive. Blank looks were soon replaced by expressions of violent, ex- pectant interest. The crowd pressed closer about the platform. The speake-r's voice rose and fell like a chant one minute and cracked like a whip the next. Robe manipulated the one, unthinking mind of the mob with ease. His staccato voice became a rising crescendo. From far in the crowd came a low rumble that swelled and grew until it burst and reverberated over the square in a deafening cheer. The mob broke like water from a dam. It was now a terrifying monster, atlame with the primitive de- sire of destruction and completely beyond control. Peaceful citizens and private property fell before its all-consuming fury. Sporadic bursts of scarlet flames appeared throughout the city. Cries of tor- tured victims, sounds of destruction and splintering wood mingled to form a hideous, discordant wail that rose about the buildings and mixed with the smoke from the fires. But, the monster sated and exhausted, had to eventually stop for rest. And so, as dusk fell, the roving gangs began to dissipate, and their members to slink off into the dark shadows. Later, Robe inspected one of the deserted, ruined streets. He stepped fastidiously over a corpse. A smug smile crossed his face and his small eyes glittered. The mob, as usual, had done its work well. -Terry Shaw, 13A 37
