In the case of the State of Iowa against
David Miner, the Supreme Court at its last
session, rendered decision of Importance
to young ladies. Mizner was pedagouge
| IL Allamakee County, and in the discharge
of his duty WAS compelled to punish young
lady pupil who had passed the legrl age and
was over twenty one years old. Miner be-
lieyes In the adage spare the road and spoil
the child, and chastised the young lady for
some sobedience. This greatly incensed
the young lady. and she caused the teacher
| TO be arrested for assault and battery. In
the Justice Court he was found guilty, and
he appealed his case to the District Court In
that courthc admitted to having chastiscd the
young lady. IT appeared in the evidence Of
t"e young lady, whose name was Ida Bemer,
that when her name was en- oiled she gave
her age as tsen y, although fifteen days
thereafter she was twenty-one years of age,
and conscquen ly had passed the legal age
when she was entitled 10 the privileges Of
the schoo'. The Judge Of the Dis rict Court
decided that the fact that she was over
twenty-o one years Of age when punished rem
! dercd the man guilty, although he might not
have been II she had been under age; that
the question as to the severity of the pun
| ishmcnt need not enter in, and he found the
man guilty and fined him ten dollars and
costs, and from this verdict the defendant
appealed. The Supreme Court reversed that
decision, holding that, even if the girl was
| over twcnty-one years Of age, her entrance
| into the school was a voluntary act,s and
while she enjoyed its benefits she must also
be amenable to its laws, and can be punished
for disobedience the same as any other pupil.
