speech on
TEACHERS AND PUPILS,
By Z. o. Kreider. 1t was largely de-
voted to school government, and that
beng vital question. disposition to
debate the question, as raised by Mr..
kreider, cropped out in a number Of
members, by their seeming INCLINATION
to speak to the question.
Wellington Suitb, was the first to get
the floor He recognized in the paper
read by Mr.. Kreider the old question
of school government. He cannot be-
lIeve in the use of the rod in the school
The tendency of its use is to awaken
the animal nature of the pupil. Re
sentiment is often instilled into the
mind of the child that has been whipped
at school. To whip children mag cause
them to fear teacher; but fear is not
respect, and that is what teachers should
strive for. When the respect has been
gained government follows without
trouble. Scolding is even worse than
whipping. Ii has tendency to awaken
the sane passions in the child, to a
greater degree. He might use the rod
in the school room under the most
serious ofense, but from scolding he
would entirely abstain.
L. q. Lan'z, was the next speaker
He felt glad to learn that Solomon was
wrong in bis advice to use the rod. 1t
was piece of news that Mr.. Smith
delivered, and he was glad to hear HIM
deliver ANY kind of news, but still with
all that, to his knowledge the use of
the rod has been productive of good.
Its use does sometimes stir up feelings.
When the whipping does no more than
stir the animal feelings, then 1t is pro
ductIve of harm, but If the whipped
child can be made to understand that
1t is whipped for Its o"n good, good
will fellow tine application of the rod
He cannot endorse scolding in the school
room it Wears out teachers Influence.
