3. At the appointed time, if the lads are still desirous of the contest, the chief usher must take the pugnacious ones to an enclosure, where they cannot be seen by their comrades. He then desires them to fight until they are tired, he standing by to see fair play. 4. Any boy present or assisting at an illegal fight will be punished. The consequence is that their honour or their ill-humour is soon satisfied. No party is made, to back them; no friends call out to them, “Give it him, Tom!” “At him, Jack!” Their pugnacity is not, as it has been in some instances at public schools, unnaturally excited by the stimulus either of betting or of brandy. After long experience, it was found that quarrels rarely arrived at a fight. It was the _interest_ of all the rest of the school to make some just and amicable arrangement. CHAPTER XI. ULTERIOR OBJECTS. Besides those universal advantages which will result, in a greater or less degree, to every nation maintaining friendly intercourse with its neighbours, there are others arising from the Exposition, which may be secured by a little industry and small expense, if timely thought is bestowed upon them. There are also opportunities for advancing several kindred subjects to which it may be useful to allude. The most obvious is the facility it will afford of making extensive collections of examples of the present state of many industrial products.[12] All woven manufactures, for example, might be arranged in books. A small piece of each article being pasted in, might be followed by a short statement of the various facts relating to it—as, for example, a piece of plain cambric— PLAIN CAMBRIC. (Date.) Woven in a ---- loom, at ---- by ---- Number of threads in warp. Number of threads of weft, in ten inches length. Breadth of piece in inches. Length of piece in yards. Weight per square yard. Price per yard retail. Price per piece of ---- yards, as sold by the manufacturer. Coloured woven goods might be similarly arranged as regards colour, and the note connected with them ought to contain the name and locality of the dyer, and also the nature of the dye used. Such volumes would hereafter become highly instructive, and save many costly experiments. But it will be necessary to provide against, or to allow for the fading of the colouring matter. This could be done only by preserving some portion of it unchanged by time or exposure. Woven fabrics will not supply this test, but another department of manufacture would, if properly treated, give by the permanence of its colours, invaluable aid not only to many arts, but also to the naturalist and the man of science.
