The Whipping Question.

The question Of whipping in the public
schools has been generally thought over by
by our community, and while there are many
who are possessed Of the notion that the way
to introduce knowledge into child is through
the skin, and by means Of the raw hide and
mesquite stick, there is large and intelligent
portion of the people who are bitterly opposed
to the brutatieS practced in the school rooms
upon helpless children.
Whipping in the schools is a relic of past
barbarty, and belongs to the same class Of
discipline formerly practised on the unfortunate
inmates Of insane asylums, who were subjected
to baths of dripping cold water, and
to severe straight-jacket punishment: to the
same class of discipline as used in some peni-
tentiares when the unruly victim of the law is
placed in stocks and logged.
Flogging in the army and navy was once
the usual way of treating the soldiers and sail
ors of the nation. But gradually men are
growing out of these brutal resorts, and even
the brute, the horse, OK, dog, is protected from
cruelty Of masters, but our children, the most
precious of the gifts of Heaven, whose lives
are SO dear to us, whose tender natures we
feel so solicitous about can be subjected
to cruel beating at the hands of school
teacher without indignation.
We say that the striking of child should
be placed in the list of felonies, and we be-
lieve that the teacher who strikes child can
be prosecuted for aggravated assault.
