Children, museums, and old-fashioned schoolroom discipline. I’ve seen a number of accounts of educational sessions in museums etc. here in the UK where parties of children dress up in clothes from past eras (the Victorian era is a favorite I think, Queen not State), sit in rows in old-fashioned hard wooden desks and are ‘taught’ by a cane-wielding ‘teacher’. In fact I seem to recall photographs of little lads (no little girls though) bent over desks or touching their toes with the ‘teacher’ at least demonstrating what a cane was used for, though not, I presume, with any serious intent! Apparently it goes down a bomb with the youngsters, as does a display of old punishment books, old canes, etc. in school exhibitions.
