MR.. cox
said the only grounds upon which the State
was justified in taking charge Of the educa.
lion Of children was that 1t was necessary
that they should be educated, and that the
Slate could do i more unimOrmly and nc.
ceptably than the parents. Ifihey have
right 70 teach this implies the right to gov.
ern. II the State assumes to educate. tho
State must govern some members say OK.
pulsion is the proper treatment, that the
children should be returned home IN fe !
governed. Why not return them home 10
be taught? The very homes in which
there Is the least government arc the ones
10 which the children would be returned
Tue soonest. He would say to every
friend oil the free school sys.
tenn that il tLii bill passed
It would he stroke at thevery foundation
OF the system which within year would be
telt all over the State. The uniayomble re-
suits Of the law where heretofore tried
were referred to, aud attention callelto the
lIct that the sections in which the schools
were b@st mad made no attempt to abolish
corporal punishment. This question was n
seltFegulatIng one. As civilization adyanc-
cd corporal punishment would practically
disappear But the sudden abolition Of this
would deprive the teacher OF almost the
only means Of control left. He therefore
hoped the bill would be indefinitely post
poned.
co., uoxsos
said he was not fond of corporal punish-
ment, but he defended it as a friend Of the
public schools. Ages ago it had been said
Spare the rod and spoil the child.n but
10! greater than solomon are here. What
was teacher to do with IN incorripible
boy2. II he knocked down little cirl in
the mud, and tore her clothes: II he stood
up lnu cursed The teacher TO his face,
should tne teacher take him on his lap
and read Psalms to him? He could not
imagine what i was proposed to do. He
did not defend any man who would cruelty
beat chttd, but he thought such teachers
were scarce, md growing scarceF. Ii such
teachers were turned out by the normal
schools he would never vote another cent
to them. But he knew better. He hoped
the bill! would be indefinitely postponed.
Mr., Lurty took the same side. He
thought corporal punishment was some
times necessity, and he thought It would
be severe blow at general education to
deprive teachers Of the dcrnier resort OF
the ROD IN cases OF extreme necessity. He
had no experience as school teacher, but
ii tue boys in his section were unbridled
and t9!d you cannot be whipped, no
matter what You do, what would he the
result? The boys would be encouraged in
ail kinds of INSTRUMENTATION, and the |
schools injured and rendered powerltsy for
good.
Mr.. Poe also opposed the passage Of the
bill. He said the friends Of this bill had
drawn dark picture OF cruelty and impo.
sluon, nnt IL his hearers would pause and
reflect they would see darker picture as
the result Of the passage Of this hill
