Brains and Brawn (1912)

The Village Board, despairing of the condition at the village school, send for a football graduate, who will manage the boys. When he arrives the boys laugh at him and plan to show their independence of "the little shrimp." But in the fierce frolic that follows the little schoolmaster proves himself equal to the occasion and declines the help of the board, who fly to his rescue. Later one of the girls takes a hand in subduing the teacher with some glue. He blames the girl who has frustrated the plot of gluing him to his chair. But the real culprit confesses and sends him after the other girl. They come to an understanding in more ways than one.
