Vol 5 Chapter 48: Deonia School (3)

The classroom in Dionya is a three-meter-high cube. It is a colonnaded structure. In addition to a brick wall in the north, the interior is covered with cement, plaster is applied, the wall is kept smooth, and black lacquer is applied. The other three sides are transparent, and the roof is supported by numerous stone pillars to ensure sufficient light, so it is an open building.
Patroclus has not yet entered the classroom, and he has seen many children sitting inside. If Patroclus doesn't want to sit outside the stone pillar and is exposed to the sun for a long time, he can only sit in the back row. He was not very happy. He was a boy at first glance (although the Senate agreed with the proposal that
girls can also enter school
, but the traditional habits of many years have made them restricted, and men and women can’t be in the same classroom.) Usually, the inferior temper begins to attack.
He squatted on the folding wooden chair, squeezing straight ahead, and shouted: "Go back! Give me a place!"
Most of the boys in the classroom are only seven or eight years old, so the 13-year-old Patroclus appears to be a tall man. Everyone is afraid to help but retreat. Instead, a child stands up and accuses Patroclus.
The two did not give each other, because the conflict of tongues and tongues developed to the hands and feet, waiting for the teacher to come, seeing Patroclus fell the boy to the ground.
He was busy going forward to stop and asked about the cause of the fight, and immediately let the culprit go to the outside of the church.
Patroclus dissatisfied.
The teacher said harshly: "If you don't want to accept punishment, then you don't have to come back to school anymore!"
Although Patroclus is stubborn, he knows how to be light and heavy, and walks out of the classroom. Who knows that the boy who was shackled took the opportunity to give him a buttock, and the teacher yelled: "You also give me a penalty station!"
After handling the fight, the teacher put a big hourglass on the wooden table, then sat on the wooden chair, took out the student roster, and said to the children around him: "From today, I am the classroom. Professor, you know the teacher of Greek writing, my name is Onatas..."
........................
"Hey, big man, I am the adopted son of Amintas, Stifros, what is your name?" The boy’s grievances come quickly, go too fast, stand outside the classroom, very helpless boy I can't help but say to my opponent.
"Pallaght Rose, the son of Parian Dorothy." He replied casually, then thought of something, and asked: "Your father is Amintas! Which Amintas?!"
"Of course the fierce Amintas of the First Legion!" said Steflos proudly.
"My father, Pariandos, is a soldier under your father, Amintas," Patroclus said in amazement.
The two little boys are so hot...
...........................
In the past two years, Dionysius has unified the consequences of military operations in southeastern Sicily—a lot of people in the southwestern city-states of Sicily have been forced to flee their homes, most of which are attracted by the Dionia Immigration Act. Come to Turui, not too far from Sicily.
As the first place where the Greeks developed colonization in the Western Mediterranean, Sicily not only developed agriculture and trade, but also had closer cultural exchanges with Greece. Its cultural heritage was deeper than that of the Italian peninsula, so some Sicilian passed through Ansita. The Norse organization test became a teacher of the Dionysian Union, and Anotas is one of them.
He chose to become a teacher of the newly established Diaonian School. Although there are not many private teachers in the salary, he can immediately become a Diaonian citizen and have land.
There is no uniform teaching material in the school. The content and progress of the professor are determined by the teacher. However, the school requires: after three school years, the primary education students must be able to recognize and write at least one thousand Greek words, accurate pronunciation letters, It is also able to write short, fluent and clear-cut articles that enable students to successfully pass the test into intermediate education. Moreover, each teacher's teaching performance is assessed every year. Teachers who have poor performance for three consecutive years will be disqualified from teaching, which means that he will be deprived of all the rights that Dionia gives to teachers.
So there is a sense of urgency in the mind of Onatas. As a highly educated cultural person, he can't allow himself to lose to other teachers, but he first learned the knowledge that the parents hired teachers to come to the one-on-one professor at home. Nowadays, in the school, there are more than 30 students, how can we guarantee the effect of teaching?
Onatas had seriously thought about it beforehand, so when he came in, he first punished the two children who had been fighting. After the name was given, the words severely emphasized the discipline of the classroom. The students who violated the crime would be criticized and punished. Seriously will be expelled from school.
As a result, the original noisy classroom became quiet.
Anotas was very satisfied with this effect. He stood up and picked up a white pen from the wooden table. It is said that it was made by adding some substances such as animal fat after limestone mashing and drying it. Anantas tried it beforehand, writing on the black wall was very clear, and standing in the back of the classroom can also see clearly.
Faced with more than 30 curious eyes, Onatas couldn't help but feel deeply: a new city-state alliance pays so much attention to the quality education of citizens. It not only creates an unprecedented teaching system in Greek city-states, but also attracts various preferential conditions. High-quality Gentiles serve as teachers, and even teaching supplies cost energy to study and produce carefully. How lucky it is to live in this league!
At this moment, he was already a Dionian citizen, but he had a sense of pride. His left hand held a flat wall and his right hand wrote a string of letters on the wall with a white pen: "Teach you to learn Greek letters. Before, I hope you know the word 'Diagna'! Whether you are a Greek or a Lucania, you live in Dionia, grow up in Dionia, and will be Dionys in the future. Sub-citizens, so read with me loudly, 'Dai-Ou-Ni-Asia'..."
"Diagna!!..."
..............................
For the children of most city-state citizens, the six or seven-year-old has begun to read the text under the guidance of their parents. Therefore, compared with the students who answered the questions enthusiastically, Patroclus’s progress is difficult.
However, in the arithmetic class, he was very sensitive to the numbers when he was with the mother in the market, and he was very impressed by the numbers. Even the teachers from the mathematics research institute paid attention to his performance.
By noon, the classroom teaching is over.
The original Greeks were two meals a day in the morning and evening. Under the influence of Davers and military training, Diaonian citizens have begun to get used to breakfast, lunch and dinner. Children living in Turui City can go home to eat. Far away like Patroclus, I got the notice from the school in advance, prepared the dry food at noon, and the children from the family slaves went to the city to buy lunch...
In the afternoon, mainly outdoor courses: girls are dance and music, invited by the priests of the Temple of Hera to teach; boys are sports training, running, long jump, which is also interspersed with some of the simplest military exercises, such as queuing , arrays, overall advancement, etc., taught by disabled veterans, let the children cultivate the spirit of martial arts from an early age, from a young age began to gradually understand and familiar with the formation of the light and heavy infantry of the Dionian and some basic tactics, and know how to unite And collaborate, until they reach adulthood, they can easily integrate into the legion once they are recruited. In this regard, Davis and the Senate are humbly learning from Sparta's practices.
After the military training, the children's favorite is a ball sport newly invented by the governor Daves, football, because it is not as fierce as rugby and vulnerable to injury.
The children chased me and used the foot to flexibly control a leather ball that was sewed with cowhide and filled with inflated tripe and nearly round shape. They passed each other and passed on until the goal was scored... ...

"Our original design of the avenue, the trees are too close to the road, for a long time, the roots are easy to drill the road, destroying the roadbed, Tuli - Amendo Lala Avenue has appeared many times like this ~ EbookFREE.me ~ There are now pedestrians and coaches, carriages are on the boulevard. During the daytime busy, the avenue is crowded with people and livestock, not only easy to cause long-term blockage, but also many accidents of collision...
My suggestion is to cut off the trees on both sides of the avenue and build a road for pedestrians to walk outside the drainage ditch so that people and livestock can walk each other without disturbing each other, and the avenue will become more smooth..."
Daves listened to his explanation while watching the avenue remodeling plan written by Little Heraclitus. Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a shock.
It should be acknowledged that when he built the avenue, his design had some defects, such as the problem of the street tree. For example, it was not expected that the development of Dionia was so rapid, it took more than a year, and the four-horse wide avenue was not enough... ...
But what he didn't expect was that Little Heraclitus could think of paving the sidewalk so quickly. Of course, he knew that the sidewalk was not a new thing that only appeared in the technological era. In the middle and late Roman Republic, there were already perfect avenues, sidewalks, A complete set of road systems such as drains.
He sighed softly and asked gently: "What else needs improvement?"
Little Heraklid said in a discretion: "The Archon is an adult. If a Gentile starts from Crotone, he has to walk to Turui. After a long time, he is tired, thirsty, and hungry. He doesn't know how far ahead there are towns? Where can I have a restaurant to eat? Where can I stay at a hotel? In order to facilitate pedestrians, can we set up a stone monument along the boulevard at intervals, marking the distance between nearby towns... and ...... Well, we are not building a station, we can also engrave the distance of the station on the stone tablet, so that pedestrians can see the stone monument, and then plan their own trip according to the above tips to avoid sleeping in the wild at night..."
