Clearly children had a hard time in those days. 10 strokes for playing cards at school or for Misbehaving to girls (I think we can assume misbehaving is a euphemism for molesting) may be reasonable, but what is so serious about playing bandy, which seems to be a form of ice hockey, that it also merits 10 strokes? And why is drinking spiritous liquors at school (8 strokes) less serious than playing cards? There are no less than 5 offences which involve children not bowing at the right time, the majority of which attract 4 strokes. However not addressing a teacher correctly only attracts 2 strokes.
