早先,孩子们进科班,与现在学校招生相仿佛,也有一种考试的办法,不过这“考试”不是决定录不录取,而是决定孩子们在生、旦、净,末、丑中学那一行档。我是跟随四哥进科班的,没有写过卖身式的“字据”,所以没有经过“考试”,但在科班里我是亲眼看见过当时怎样“考试”的。科班收进了一批孩子,这些孩子大都是穷苦人家的子弟,家里养不活,把孩子送到科班学戏,拿回一担米,写个字据,这孩子就算交给科班了。入科班的那一天,老师坐在屋子里,孩子们都守在屋外面,静候老师的传呼,叫一个名字进去一个。第一个被叫到的,推开房门,一闪身进去,站定,老师一看是个身体魁梧的孩子,大大的个儿,长得粗眉大眼,老师吩咐:“上前走五步。”他应声朝前迈了五步。一步步迈得很扎实。“咳嗽一声。”老师又吩咐。“哈哼!”他大声咳了一下,很响亮,听上去粗 Earlier, the children went to the science classes, similar to the current enrollment in schools.
