Armidale Chronicle in Armidale, New South Wales

Fragmented tales and classroom scenes from a varied era

A collage of misheard dialogues and classroom scenes shows a teacher asking for a sentence with the word among, a governor punishing a prisoner with bread and water, and a catechism session about essential elements. Interspersed are domestic vignettes, a French visitor, a car encounter, and a child’s fretful stomach remedy with Chamberlain’s Tablets.
