The one who shows the most aptitude in managing and teaching at the institution will be the heir. Judgment of their respective abilities is left to the professor in charge. Duffy. Billy, the sailor, arrives to take charge for his try at the managing. He is told that his cousin managed the place yesterday and made a one hundred per cent score. Billy refuses to try until he sees some of the beautiful pupils in the gymnasium. So the sailor is put in charge of the gymnasium class and the girls go through some unusual exercises. Then he is put in charge of the class room where he tells the girls lot of funny stories. He is discovered at his playful work by his cousin who reports him to the professor. Billy is relieved of class work and sent to the dining room to instruct the girls in table manners. Billy organizes a symphony orchestra and teaches the girls to sup soup in correct time, tempo and tune. His "orchestra" is doing fine when the jealous cousin again reports him to the professor. The cousin then figures a way to get Billy thrown out. He tells him to assemble the class by ringing a bell-but it is a fire-bell and the firemen arrive. There is a lot of excitement with Billy getting a hose and spraying the firemen, the professor and his cousin and the firemen completing the destruction by trying to spray Billy. Billy is ordered out of the school, but he opens an opposition seminary across the road and gets all the scholars. Written by Press Sheet from Library of Congress See less
