Last week. during the recess time 10
one ofthe primary schools, two boys, about
/ 10 years of age. were at play. when one OF
them became enraged and struck the other
on the head with a knife. The blow was
so violent as to break the blade, leaving
the broken piece in the wound, from which
il was removed by the teacher. The boy
was discharged from the school but has
since been taken back. Some restraint
seems necessary for boy who allows him
self TO indulge in such acts of violence. and
| If that restraint is not found in the parental
authority, the State furnishes the neces-
sary institution.
