Boy Brings Pistol To Grammar School

Event date: May 18, 1877

A case of discipline in the Grammar school has attracted some attention this week. It seems that one of the largest boys in the school was found to have a pistol in his possession, which he was in the habit of carrying, and which he at first declined to give up in response to Miss Slason’s demand, although he finally complied. The case was referred to the committee, with the result that the boy has been expelled or suspended from the school — at least until he makes suitable acknowledgment of his fault, with promises of better behavior in the future.
