To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Within this dreadful cell the culprit sat upon a log of wood. It was no doubt intended for the worst sort of offenders, but in it were incarcerated, long after 1840, boys whose worst offence was troublesome disobedience. The other rooms were warmed by steam pipes, within a few years of their erection, but this, we believe, never possessed even that modicum of civilization. Boys were often confined for whole days together in these rooms — at other times the punishment was mitigated by allowing t...he offender to attend his classes.
The time of confinement varied greatly. At one period boys were often in these cells for six days together. Instances are on record in the masters' books of boys having been confined eleven and twelve days, and one of an incarceration of three weeks duration. The first boy who, so far as can be gathered from the records, was imprisoned was sentenced for " dis- obedience to a teacher,, taking a piece of bread out of the dining room, and telling several untruths." After being in- carcerated seven days, he penned the following petition to the Masters : — "By favour of the Masters' Meeting ' — would be much obliged to the masters if they would set him at liberty, for he thinks }ie has had sufficient confinement to make him behave better for the future and he will try to set a good example to his school-fellows and attend to the advice of his masters, and he will mind and speak the truth for the future.
