TJ1E DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1870. The "Itlrrh" In Classlcnl Timed. From tht London Sptctaktr. t"W are aware tbat the title which we hare chosen is, strictly speaking, a niinnomer. Ihere was no ' "birch" in claHBical times that ia, there was nothing exactly corresponding to. the ultima ratio of the modern achool tnaeter, thongh the Greek and Roman in structors of youth had material auxiliaries, Van ting neither in variety nor in effectire ness. With a somewhat remarkable incon sistency, the alumni of the great public schools, which ought, more than others, to be conservative of classical usage, have in this important matter, which may be called the one permanent element of education, favored a modern innovation. The bundle of twigs whether they be those of the apple, as is the use of Winchester, or of the birch, according to the practice of Eton has n.o Augustan, or even post-A.ugnstan, authority. The cane, to which, as we learn from the report of the Tablio School Com missioners, the nice honor of these aristo crats institutions refuses to submit, has what ought to be the prevailing recommenda tion of bearing the closest resemblance of any available instrument to the ferula of the schoolmaster of antiquity. Not that the cane itself, as we now commonly use the word in this connection that is, of a Blender, solid, and pliable reed can claim this merit of an tiquity. It is doubtful whethor it was known to the ancients, and even in more recent times this one of its many utilities seems not to have been discovered. If we look into an English dictionary a hun dred years old, we shall probably find the verb "to cane" defined as meaning "to beat with a stick," by "a stick" being intended a "walking-stick, for which article of use or ornament the bamboo cane has always been a favorite material. It is indeed in some variety of the bamboo cane, or anyhow in some plant resembling it in the essential poine of being hollow, that we must look for what may be generally described as the rod of clas sical antiquity. The elder Pliny seems to have been thinking of the bamboo itself when he spoke of the narthez or ferula as being produced in hot places, and beyond the seas; but something that bore the same name, and was turned to the same uses, was grown in the islands of the Grecian Archipelago, and even in Southern Italy, as notably in Apulia, where the famous Canme took its name from the plant. It may be doubted whether Aristotle does not refer to something different from both of these plants when he discusses the curious question, profoundly interesting without doubt to the schoolboys of antiquity, how it was that the soft wood of the narthez inflicted more pain than was given by those of a harder kind, and suggests as a cause the conjecture that there was a double action, the flesh receiving the stroke, and inflicting another upon itself as it rose to meet the yielding wood. The cane, however, is quite as hard as any other wood; and we may con jecture that possibly some kind of green stalk is spoken of. Besides the hollow ferula, there was also used the solid virga, for which, if it resembled the virga of which the fmces of the licters were made up, the wood of the betvlla or birch tree was employed, and which, therefore, so far corresponded to the modern implement, differing, how ever, in the important respect of being a single stick, not a bundle of twigs. The virga may claim an antiquity far exceeding that of its rivals, if we may accept the autho rity of Juvenal, who tells us that it was used by the first recorded sohoolmaster, the cen taur Chiron, to keep in order such high spirited pupils as Achilles, to correct their mibtakes in singing, and to deter them from laughing at their teacher's tail. A third in strument of punishment was the himas, of which the Latin equivalents were lorum and tcutica, and of which Scotland, so far more classical than her southern neighbor, .pre serves the tradition in the "taws. This was a thong of undressed hide, in the manufac ture of which the hardest portions were care fully selected. Horace, indeed, describes the scutica as being a milder alternative than the "horribile flagellum," which indeed it might well be, considering that the fUigeUum was a sort of "cat-o'-three-tails," each tail being furnished with many formidable knots. But it was, nevertheless, sufficiently effective, Lucian expressly mentioning the "weals" which its infliction was wont to leave upon him in his youth. As to the manner in which the stick or thong was applied to the persons of indolent or refractory youth, the custom of antiquity may be Been preserved in the practice of modern teachers, there being, indeed, no room for change. The band was the member that most frequently suffered. Thus, in a well-known passage (Sat. i, 1 fi), Juvenal in genuously confesses that he had sometimes shirked the infliction by withdrawing his hand from the coming blow, and Fulgentius speaks of having had his hands swollen by blows endured in acquiring the rudiments of learning. But the binder part of the body was then, as now, also liable to punishment. Apuleius describes the spectacle, not unfa miliar in most of our public schools, of "horsing" a victim, when he speaks of the schoolmaster, "altissime sublato puero nates ejus obverberans," and a representation of the process is to be found among the curious pictures of ancient life which have been pre served for us in the frescoes of Pompeii. Any future historian of the "birch" in Eng land will probable connect it with the name of Busby of Westminster, or Keate of Etan. The classical Busby may be found in the Orbilius whom Horace, himself probably a victim in his boyhood, has immortalized by the epithet plagon uj, "given to blows," and of whom Suetonius has given us a detailed account, lie served as a soluier in his youth. and may be supposed thus to have acquired his notions of severity. After teaching for some time in bis native town of Beneventum, he migrated in the fiftieth year of his age to Home, reaching that city during the consulship of Cicero. There for the next fifty years for, li'te Buzby, who completed more than half a century in the Mastership of Westminster, he found the mental and bodily exercise of his profession agree witn mm he taught the youth of the lloman "Upper Ten Thousand," stimulating their genius, as one of his admirers expressly records, both with the cane and with the "taws." The Beneventinea preserved the memory of their distinguished citizen by a marble statue. His name seems to have become a generio appellation for pitiless schoolmasters, St. Jerome telling us how he had "been dragged a captive from the lap of his grandmother to a savage Orbilius." The general opinion of antiquity seems to have been favorable, as, indeed, opinion pro bably still remains, to the Infliction of this kind of punishment. One enthusiastic advo cate of the rod. as we may judge him to have been from his language, in a Scholium on Eur. Orest, 1481, goes so far as to derive the word TuirtJiet from nearout thenelii, that is, "to whet, or sharpen the young." But there was also a considerable body of sentiment that was opposed to the practice. Ouintnian though he acknowledges that it was an esta blihhed practice (reception), and could plead no less an authority than that of Chrysippmi, expresses a strong disapproval, which be bases to no small extent upon the argument of de cency. Plutarch thinks the punishment appropriate to slaves rather than freemen; be lieves that blows will only diHgnst the learner with his work, and is inclined to put more confidence in the nne of censure and praise. Seneca is equally decided in his opinion. He is indignant with the teacher who butchers (excarmficabit) his pupils, if their memory should fail them, or if their eye from want of quickness should hesitate in reading a venial fault this latter, one would think, when one remembers what the ancient school-books must have been, written as they were in uncial letters without break or punctuation of any kind, ar.d grimed doubtless from the long use which was the result of their dura bility as well as of their costliness. It is re markable that we nowhere find a hint of the distinction which is now generally accepted and acted upon between defects of know ledge and offenses against discipline or morals. Tlie xLast PUipper, 1y Leonardo lu Vinci. The great workers of the Middle Ages were cot merely the engineers of new lines of thought; they were also the brawny naviga tors who, with their own hands, hewd and dug. Leonardo da Vinci seems to have shared the versatility of these men. He was not only accomplished in all knightly exer cises, although merely the son of a Florentine notary, but he was also an architect, sculptor, musician, improvisators, painter and poet. He was an engineer, with bold schemes for a conal between Florence and Pisa; he wrote on anatomy, mathematics, perspective, and mechanics; be was great in designs for forti&oa tions; he invented machines to facilitate swim ming. Leonardo was peculiarly unfortunate, for his greatest work almost immediately began to perish, and the Gascon crossbowmen in the French invasion made a target of the model of his great statue to the first Sforza. Leonardo's greatest work, "The Last Sup per," was painted for the end wall of the refectory of the Dominican convent of Santa Maria della Grazie at Milan, painted before 14!)!). From the beginning ail went wrong with this picture, that seemed projected under evil stars, The convent was damp and ill-built, the wall dangerously placed between the kitchen and the refectory. In l.'CO an inundation laid the chamber under water fcr some time; and one who saw the picture in 1G42 spoke of it as a thing of the past. In 1052 a door was broken through under the figure of Our Saviour, which destroyed the feet. In 172G a miser able bungler, as conceited as he was imbe cile, painted it all over. In 1770 a fool named Mazza retouched all but three heads. This was the man Barry found at work, to his horror and indignation. Before this, the unhappy picture had been whitewashed. In 1 7iG Napoleon gave express orders to respect the sacred room; but later gene rals turned it into a stable and hay depot. Luckily the great man's sketches for these pictures are still extant; the head of the Saviour is in the Gallery at Milan, on a soiled and creased bit of paper. Ten studies for heads of the Apostles are preserved at the Hague, and three more are in England. Of this great picture of the Last Supper there are several anecdotes extant. The Prior, it is said, complained to the Pope of Leonardo's delay in completing the work, especially the heads of Our Saviour and of Judas. The pain ter, summoned to account for his tardiness, replied that he despaired of attaining his ideal of the tender beauty and dignity ot our Sa viour's face, but that the malice and greedi ness of Judas he could take from the Prior; which indeed be is said to have done. Da Vinci in this picture has invested the Sa viour's face with the blended attributes of divinity and humanity. The serene majesty of Deity is softened by a compassionate for giveness, in which love and sorrow are united. An English traveller, who saw the picture not long before Barry's visit, men tions the peculiarity that on one of St. John's hands there are six fingers (the sketch of a finger, afterwards intended to be altered, was probably left by mistake unobliterated). With such great gifts as he possessed, we w onder why Leonardo did not leave behind him more pictures; we think the true rea son of this was that the painter was too versatile, and aimed at too much; he seems to have been a reviser and projector, and to have spent too much time in planning and dreaming. Perhaps the sarcastio Pontiff struck the true mark when Leonardo began his work at Rome by spending months in preparing varnishes and boiling oils. "This man," he said, "will never do anything, for he prepares for the end before he has even made a commencement." Michael Angelo, of whom Leonardo was jealous, gave the Florentines works, the rabble used to say, while hia rival gave them only words. In deed, no man of such great fame has left so few pictures behind him. RAILROAD LINES. THE PHILADELPHIA AND BALTIMORE CEN TRAL RAILROAD. CliANUE OV HOURS. On and after MONDAY.
