A Cure for Hysteria
A Cure for Hysteria
When I was a girl, my
parents sent me to a very strict school. They had to buy an expensive uniform
form and pay the school fees form. Our headmistress, Miss Prim, never smiled. She
explained the school rules to, us and expected us to obey them. 'I will never
say anything to you twice,' she used to say. We had to write a letter to our
parents once a week and show it to Miss Prim before we sent it. I can still
remember some of the school rules. We were not allowed to lend anything to
anyone. We were not allowed to give each other help with homework. We had to
report unusual situations to the headmistress. One morning, during assembly, a
girl fainted. The next morning, two more fainted. This continued to happen for
several mornings. Mass hysteria had set in! But Miss Prim put an end to it. She
announced a new rule to us: 'No girl will faint in College!' And after that, no
one did!
