• It is as if with one hand a school-boy snapped his fingers at a dog, and at the same time received upon the other the discipline of the usher's ferule.
• The master, who stood at the end of the room, with a huge ferule under his arm, bent full upon me a look of stern appeal; [...]
• His rod and his ferule were seldom idle now -- at least among the smaller pupils.
• I could cudgel a great lubberly delinquent of a boy [...] but when it came to feruling a girl, [...] my manhood rebelled. — William S. Woodbridge.
