Bigelow, a_former resi- dent of Montville, has finished and published a story out of the memories of a strange, weird and somewhat picturesque boyhoood. The. story is called Prize Fighting and the Sew- ing Machine, and it appeared in, a New York magazine. A synopsis of the story follows: 0 That occupation and that article of household furniture would seem to have little in common, and neither would seem to have the slightest re- lation to school-teaching. But In my first experience along pedagogical lines I found them intimately asso- ciated and of practical value in mak- ing successful my first school year. T inherited a strong physique and six feet one inch of height from my grandfather—-“the giant of New Ens- land.” My mother died .when I was very voung. I had no boy playmates. My grandmother thought a boy should be trained like a girl. My only out- door companion was half crazy “Bill," a retired sailor and prize fighter, who thought that a boy should not only be trained in hunting, fishing _and trapping. but in the “manly art” of self-defence. Within doors T was taught to cook and to do all sorts of fancy work, including crocheting. 'knittidz and that peculiarly beautiful form of lace- work known as tatting. This I made with my own shuttle of which 1 was especially fond. A few vears later I became ambitious to own a sewing machine and my taste for fanciful things led me to covet all the ma- chine’s fancy attachments. One day while visiting a country fair I met my hero. He became my ideal. He was the advertising exhi- bitor of the old Weed sewing ma- chine and never have I seen an ex- hibition of skill that so inspired me. My imagination was fired by the way n which that man could make that sewing machine travel on a straight- forward. home run, and by bobbing around with a handy little screw driv. er and making a few changes could =lip on a side ue of steel and brass and gather astonishing puffs, tucks and ruffies. Tn my estimation he was ihe most talented man that I had thus far met. For days I dreamed of him and_ his almost super-human accom- plishments. 1 saved every cent that I earned; ] begged and borrowed from members of the family, especially from my grandmother who was de- righted with my Sewing machine am- bition. Within tws months T had exhaust- ed every possibility within the com- pass of that machine, and three months’ practice made me an expert. I took in sewing from the neighbors. I set snares, caught partridges, shot rabbits, captured squirrels and used the money thus obtained to buy cloth to feed that voracious but adorable sewing machine. In the meantime my outdoor edu- cation was not neglected. o1d Bill was giving attention to that. Fre- quently T visited him in his shanty, the “Wanton garden cabin,” in the heart of the woods. 1 knew some- thing of Bill, but I found with him, as T have found in later study of na tural science, that the most charming knowledze is that which brings one in contact with an unexplorable my: tery bheyond. The charm consists in pursuing the object that flees into the distance like a will-o'-the-wisp. But T soon left the woods and the farm. The old life was changing. I entered Bacon Academy, Conn., perhaps in as surprising manner as that of any country gawk; entering a cultured home in the cit The boys gathered around me on the playground. They called me “Buck- wheat”; and said I had hayseed in my hair. I wondered what old Bill would do in such circumstances. I re- called his oft repeated advice. “No matter what happens, you must never lose your head.” Neither did T lose my first, but one of my most taunt- ing companions lost considerable blood from his nose, and he carried a black 'eye for many days. The ef- fect was magical. It was all that could be desired. Another axhibit was not negessary. From that day on- ward 1 was greatly respected. You may talk of peace treaties and of the influence of culture, but there comes a time in the affairs of men, and als ways of schoolboys, when respect is won only by force. Every day for three vears or more, I traveled three miles over hill and dale to that academy. One morning the principal came down the alsle from his desk carrying a letter in his hand and with a merry twinkle In his eve laid the letter on my desk. “Ed,” he said, “this letter must be intended for you as you fill the bill.” Fill the bill? Was that a pun on my prize fighting teacher’s name? I glanced at the letter and my heart leaped to my throat. “Montvlile, Conn., ——, 1879. “Principal of Bacon Academ: “We need a school-teacher for our center school. We don't care whether he knows anything or not, but he must have plenty of strength and the Colchester, a ability to use it, unless he wants the big bovs to carry him out of school on the first day. We have had several teachers. Some of them knew a good deal out of the books, but they didn’t have strength enough to stay in the schoolhouse; some of our 'big and lazy bullies tossed them out.” It was a mingling of sensations that came over me. The first thing that popped in my mind was the wonder if old Bill would give me one of those grizzly hugs if 1 showed myself a worthy disciple. I looked up at the teached. 'Will there be any exam- ination?” The twinkle deepened in the principal’s eves. “To which of the requirements aresyou referring?’ Then he laughed and said, “Go ahead, and try it. 1 think you will fill the bill.” I was sure T could fill the bill with one of the accomplishments that I had acquired in that hut in the woods. On the following Sunday my fa- ther took me in the farm wagon for eighteen miles across the country to my field of endeavor. The leading committeeman’s wife} by a curious coincidence, had been one of my fa- ther's playmates. He would expect great things education- felt that she For Bilious " Troubles That, heavy headache, torpid liver; sick stomach, bitter taste I o e from a supply of bile.

It may sound a little boastful to en- ter into details of discipline of that school. It is sufficient to say, draw- ing the curtain over these first few days, that I am almost ashamed of the roughness of some of the meth- ods 1 used. I gained respect as I had gained it on the Academy campus when I bloodied a boy's nose -and blacked his eve. 1 was not carried out of the schoolhouse, but I remem- ber with regret my manner of ob- serving the standard of those days, although at the time I was rather proud of it. On the first day I de- stroyed a bundle of sticks on the ob- streperous carcasses of some eighteen or twenty of those big bovs. I pol- ished the internal machinery of that school as thoroughly as I had pol- ished even the tiny screws of my sewing machine, and 1 applied the ligneous lubricant s thoroughly as I had oiled the sewing machine's joints There was no troulfle with the dis pline. That was present in great hape. Every boy resumed his seat with the suddenness and the emphs tic impact with which Bill had set me down on the chopping block. In the case of my pupils the sitting con- tinued until the master said, “You reed sit no longer.’ I won the hearty good will of the school committee, and so far as 1 know, of the parents of those young “hoodlums” that had so long been the terror of the district.

In this brief space it is impossible to tell much of Dr. Bigelow and his work, but undoubtedly many have learped of him through his writings or have had the pleasure of hearing him expound the need of a more inti- mate study of nature from the plat- form in church or factory. He has ardently advocated before emplovers of labor the practical advantagzes of men inoculating in the minds of those in their charge the benefits to be ob- tained by taking up nature studies and appreciate more fully the import- ance of open-air life For years Mr. Bigelow has been lecturing throughout the country, con- ducting nature outings in boys' schools, and boosting nature morning, noon and night. He was for fourteen vears editor of the nature and science department of St. Nicholas Maga- zine, and has recently been made scout naturalist of the Boy Scouts, conducting a department On Nature's Trail in Boy's Life, the Boy Scouts’ magazine. Hvery month he takes the boys on a hike into the open with himself as guide and instructor—open- ing their eves to the wonders of na- ture, making clear to them through entertaining stories, the rudiments of natural science, increasing their knowledge and appreciation of na- ture’s wonderful processes and her economic values to the world, show- ing beautiful plctures of plants, tree: birds, animals, bugs, stars—every- thing tn nature, to be properly taken care of.
