The Rod i'm Public Schools.

The board of education for four years has
had rule in operation prohibiting corporal
punishm ent In the public schools; but the re-
scinding of this rule is ow urged, as the prin-
cipals almost uD unanimously say that the effect
OF the present system has been bad. The pun
ishments now permitted are keeping the Of
tenders in a'tsr school or at noon, the
Withholding OF good marks, and, when all else
fais, expulsion. Many teachers dislike to ex-
the boy, thus left In ignorance, or
the fear that their action may be re-
versed, thus weakening their Influence
in their classes. A plan now being agitaled
for reform of the existing rule provides that
each parent or guardian, when placing a child
in common school, shall be asked Unethe r
he is willing to authorize the corporal punish
menJ of the child, in the judgment of the
principal OF the school, in case such puDish-
ment be necessary. II an affirmative answer
Is given, the authorization shall be IT gistered
In book and signed By the parent or guar
dian. If is refused, entry of that fact sha all
child shall be, by home influences, kept und er
proper control. Under no circumstances will
teachers themselves be permitted to WELD the
rod. They must simply report TO the priD-
cipal whose duty IL will be 10 judge the value
Of their comp aints.-New York Trbuae.
With all of our boosted advancement,
there are still to be found in every COM
munity those who advocate fogging
school children, boys and girls, as a means
of helping them along in their efforts to
obtain al education. The grave offenses,
for which these children of tender years
are subjected to punishment, which in
Delaware is Inflicted upon snesk-thieves,
and abandoned creatures of the lowest bu-
man type, are various. Sometimes child
leaves it's seat, or iaughs, or whispers, or
PLAYS trusnt, or disobeys, orders, or vio-
lates in some other way the rules of the
school, Tor which offense, under the old,
and in many places under the present
regime. the penalty of stripes is adjudged.
There are various educational instruments
of torture, such as the strap. the ferule
and tie rod, the rswhide. and possibly
Others have been invented. Occasionally
q child is whipped so severely that it dies.
Often they have been MANNED for life, and
still the beating is continued in the schools.
IL is admitted that horses and mules and
asses and dogs, of the most vicious teDden-
cies, can be tanned and trained better
without the Lash; that kindness Is
