Mister Ron’s Basement # 1838
We have found some pretty funny stuff by Wisconsin Mayor and Governor George W. Peck from his 1884 collection ‘Peck’s Boss Book.’
Today we feature a ‘boss’ reminiscnce of a very tough Educational Institution, indeed, and a meek, skinny, polite teacher, in ‘Breaking Up A School.’
Time: approx nine and a half minutes
