They were far stricter than they are today. The children only spoke when spoken to. The teacher was addressed as Mister, Miss or Miss's. Assembly was always held before classes were started, and whoa betide anyone who spoke. Teachers were kind but stricked and would think nothing of giving a boy or girl the cane (Between four and six strokes on the plam of the hand) if they misbehaved. Homework had to be completed by the next school morning. There were no computers back then, everything had to be written in longhand. The working out of mathematical questions had to be shown in the margin of your book. We had a quarter pint of milk each morning which cost one penny (About one cent). We often had to stay behind if we misbehaved. For all their strictness we enjoyed school.
