HOW TO REDUCE CORPORAL PUNISH
MENT IN SCHOOLS TO A MINIMUM.

The following article though some
what lengthy will bear reading, and
its thoughts, deductions and sugges-
tions should be closely followed by
every parent, guardian or other per
son entrusted with the care of chill
dren. Particularly is the attention
of teachers called to what follows.
The paper is an essay read before the
teachers of San Francisco. December
Is. and is by VIM White. \. NJ,
teacher of mathematics in the Boys
High School of that city We have
been at some trouble in procuring
this for publication. and are the first
to print it. Our readers will therefore
know that it is considered worth
their consideration.
One Of the most vital educational
questions of the day is, " How shall
we reduce Corporal Punishment in
our schools TO a minimum And it
augurs well for the solution of this
problem that the teachers of San
Francisco at the present time. more
than ever before, are bringing to this
subject their earnest thought and at
tention. There is already an evident
determination to reach this minimum:
and this is the first important step to-
wards success.
The best class of educational
minds regard corporal punishment as
necessary evil, which, like disease,
may be gradually diminished, but
not entirely eradicated in the present
condition of things When teachers
are born and not made, when some
parents are born again. and when all
CO operate with teachers by giving to
their own children what is SO often
withheld, moral instruction and home
training, then, and not until then,
may corporal punishment be entire
ly abolished.
1t would seem to be an automatic
truth that tho best teacher is he who,
under all circumstances. inflicts cor
poral punishment least frequently. if
at the same time he secures the
best order in the school room and the
most satisfactory progress OF his pu-
pills. There are many teachers that
have already obtained this minimum
of corporal punishment; and how
have they accomplished this result?
If this question can be satisfactorily
answered. and if other teachers can
be persuaded to 90 and do likewise.
the problem is solved That the so
luton of this question depends III
a very great degree upon the teacher
himself may be seen from the fact
that teachers who rely upon corporal
punishment. and employ it frequent
l. for maintaining discipline are
often succeeded by others who rarely
resort to it. and Yet secure higher
educational results than their prede-
cessors. Such instances are known
to all that have carefully considered
this subject.
The question then revolves itself
into this: How have some teachers
already reached this minimum?
To begin with, such successful
teachers are professional men and
women. Teaching is with them a
life work, and neither stepping
stone to some other occupation nor

THE ROMANCE OF A FIDDLE.

Charles Reade tells one tale of the
romance of fiddle dealing which is
charming. 1t is too long to give in
full. There was Il precious violon-
cello at Madrid. 1t was q genuine
Stradivarius. The local maker. one
Ortega, had put in a new belly and
sold it, keeping the old belly in his
shop. NJ. Chanot, the best judge
of violins left, now Tarisio is gone"
lighted upon the. belly and bought
it. Tarisio then discovered it, and
pestered Chanot till he sold it for
1000 francs, and Tarisio sailed OK
ultant for Paris with the Spanish bass
i'll a case He never let it out of his
sight. The pair were caught by a
storm in the Bay of Biscay. The ship
rolled; Tarisio clasped his bass tight,
and trembled. 1t was a terrible gale,
and for one whole day they were in
real danger. Tarisio spoke Of it
with shudder will give you his
real words, for they struck me at the
time. and L have often thought of
them since: All, my poor Mr.. Reade,
the bass of Spain was all but lost
Was not this true connoisseurl Il
genuine enthusiast? Observe. there
was also an ephemeral insect called
Luigi Tarisio, who would have gone
down with the bass, but that made
no impression on his mind De min
imiS non curdt LudOrictGS. He got
it safe to Paris. \ certain high
priest in theS" mysteries, called Nuill
aume, with the help Of a sacred vessel,
called the glue pot. soon rcweddcd
the back and sides to the belly. and
the belly, and the bass. being now
what it was when the rutiian Ortcca
put his finger in the pie, was sold for
2o.Wn fir. $500. l saw the Spanish
bass in Paris twenty two years ago,
and You can see it any day this mouth
you like, for it is the identical violon
cello now on show ut kensington
numbered 1SS. Who would divine
its separate adventures. to see 1t all
repo9ins 50 calm and uniform i'll that
case? Post tot Huutrdgid tuluS.'
