Some time ago Mr. W. H. Adams. Of

Mr.. Etter replied as follows:

Mr.. ADAMS, ELMoRE, PEORIA Co. SIR:
Yours of the 10th is at hand and noted.

legal right to make it rule to keep child

the school, Such practice is generally
a greater punishment TO the teacher than
it is to the pupil, and does the pupil DC
good. Yoars truly,
