Schoolmaster caned by his own pupil

 


A schoolmaster in Nottingham, England, who came to school without his gasmask was caned by one of his own pupils. The master threatened to cane any boy who forgot to carry his mask. He agreed that if he himself forgot his mask the pupils could select one of their number to punish him in the same way.

Arriving without his gas mask one morning, the master meekly held out his hand while the  biggest pupil in the school caned him.
