CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN THE
SCHOOLS

We were somewhat surprised &c Learn
from the report of the daily exercises o
the Normal School that Prof. Kirk il
an advocate Of corporal punishment in the
schools. We had almost grown into the
belief that this was one of tho obsolete
ideas Of the past, one which the enlight.
ened sense of the last half Of the nine
teenth century had placed among other
old-timc practices and predjudccs. We
may Ice wrong and Prof. Kirk may be
right. The professor is n practical
teacher, we believe, aud has the adj
vantage practical experience on his side,
but We should be sorry to be told by him,
sorry for the sake of human nature
school boy and school girl nature-that he
has found that real good to the pupil
results from the abuse Of the person, abuse
administered as punishment for, generally,
ohenses against the discipline of the
school. II is perhnpa true that teachers
may find, for the time being that the APP
plication of the rod or rather the pain in
flicted by it, and the fear OF repetition,
prevents disorder among the nnruly. We
do not dispute the statement. If dog il
kicked for an act offensive TO his master it
usuallyrcmembers the punishment and fails
to repeat the aggression The master adds
no'rcasoning 10 his simple act Of castiga-
ton. The kick is efectual without Il.
This is in accord with brute nature. SO
the teacher who unwi.ely wiclds the lash,
may wisely omit the moral lecture which
often accompanie- the bodily punishment.
The whipping, which appeal, to the ami
nal nature. is cfectnal~ without the lee
turc. But boys and girl are not animals,
in one sense OF the word, and are sent TO
school to be educated physically, morally
md intellectually, and in oar poor opin- .
on, the teacher who is compelled to call to
MS aid the assistance Of the rod in the di~- |,
'ipinc Of his scholars. lncls one Of the
irst requisites Of an educator-that cf

days ago, and reported that the fight was very
severe, and that the troops lost heavily, over

dian loss was only eleven. They report that
Baker is so badly crippled that he is obliged to
return to Fort Ellis without having accom-
plished the object of the expedition.
Gen Stanley sent detachment back to Fort
Rice few days since for supplies. They report
that Just prior to their departure, Sitting
Bull sent in Il flag of truce, aud asked
for a parley with Gen. Stanley which was
granted. AT the interview Sitting Bull declared
If Stanley did not turn back at once, he would
give him plenty of fight before he go. back to
Missouri river. 1t is estimated there are now
IN the Yellowstone valley from $4,000 to 30 900
hostile warriors and Sioux. Trouble is appre-
hended. Many Of these Indians are Cheyennes
and ArapahoeS from the Platte valley, with n
large band of Ogallala Sioux.
