Prof E. o. Vale, principal of the
Clark School, Chicago, Ill, has been
asked by the board of education to re-
sign because of undue severity in the
punishment of pupil Prof. Vailc re-
fuses to comply with this request, as
sorting that his resignation would be an
acknowledgment of guilt, whereas the
punishment was administered with the
advice and consent of the superintendent
and with severity justified by the re-
sistance made by the pupil. The Edu-
cational Weekly, in commenting on the
affair, says: THE action of the board
in prohibiting whipping on the Deco
