IL A scholar was recently whipped in
n of the public schools in this city,
for ZONE misdemcanor, and the father OF
the child brought the matter to the atten-
ton Of the School Committee, on the
ground, as we understand, that his son was
severely and uureasonably whipped. We
know nothing Of the merits Of the case (;
lat learn that the committee hive instruct
ed the teachers in the Senior departments
not to alminis'er corporal punishment
any more I; whether they thought that
there was ground for complaint in the case
in question, or whether they adopted the
rule as what they considered a matter Of
precauiion, we are unable to say. We re-
gret, however, as a warm friend Of Public
Schools, one of the noblcst institutions in
the Republic, that the Committee should
have pursued such q course, for we are
satisfied that II will have a decided tenden-
cy to break down much Of the discipline OF
the Schools. II is to be presumed that the
Committee will always employ able and
discriminating Teachers, who will never
administer corporal punishment to pupils
unless they deserve it and the discipline of
the Schools require it,-and then with mod
Grafton and reason ; if Teachers are de-
prived Of this power,it is morally certain
that boys will take undue advantage of the
restriction which is placed upon the Teach
crs, and the result, in the end, will be that
the discipline of the Schools will be great
" broken down, and the boys themselves
will be the chief sufferers. We trust that
The Committee, upon reflection, will be in
duced to revoke this new and unwise rule,
because if a Teacher improperly Furnishes
a child, he is answerabic in law for the
wrong which he may do the teacher
should have discretionary power in regard
to administering corporal punishment.
As a general thing we do not think it
wise to interfere with the Committee in
their management Of the Schools, because,
as they give their constant attention to
these affairs, it is to be presumed that they
are the best Judges as to the wisdom
and policy OF whatever course they may
pursue. But the present is an exception
TO the rule, and we cannot but think that
the Committee have acted hastily in the
matter, and that upon reflection they will
be convinced that the best interests of the
Schools and the scholars require that they
shall confer upon the Teachers the same
Discretionary power which they have here
toforc had in regard to this matter. There
is a good deal Of talk in the community, and
especially among parents who have child
rem at the schools, and all that we have con-
versed with entirely coincide in the opinion
which we have here expressed.

MUsIc.-The introduction of the prac.
tee of music, as one of the ordinary ex-
ercise IN our common schools, as well its
universal teaching in the higher institutions,
is rapidly diffusing a knowledge of this
beautiful science in every circle throughout
the entire Union and in no one thing is
this advance more visible, than in the in
lcreasing importance the music business is
assuming in our midst ; TO fully realize
(which, n call should be made at the great
music establishment of Horace Waters, 1913
broadway, New York-who is one OF the
largest and most popular dealers in this
kind of merchandise and whose immense
lass ortment of Pianos, Melodeons, Music and
Musical instruments Of all kinds, will give
lone an idea of the business of which, if he
lhad not previously been a visitor, he had
never dreamed. The beauty and elegance
Iof the various celebrated makes Of Pianos,

worthy Of particular remark we doubt

desirable qualities of tone and finish, bysany
|other house in the wcrld. To purchasers
IA more desirable opportunity for selections

'ment of Mr.. Waters, that rather than 90 into
Wall street and pay the sharpcrs who fat
ten thereon from TO 8 per cent. per month
to discount his paper, he will share a larger
discount with his customers, is an induce
ment which should not 90 unheeded by
those who wish to secure great bargains and
encourage right doing.
