Inc following lie from Superintendent
harlans annual report of tho Public
Schools OF Wilmington for 1886:
have Just laid down the re port of the
schools OF another city, where the totaI
enrolment OF pupils for the wear was
o,2'3. and the number Of cases OF corpo.
raj punishment reported 49, The super-
intendent OF that city says, II have good
reason to believe that the reports have
been honestly made, and that no cases
have been omitted, that by rigid con
struction OF definitions, should be lnclud.
cd under this head"
The total enrolment in Wilmington
this year is s,677, and the number Of
cases OF corporal punishment reported
7l6. The superintendent of the city re
ferred to says that the small numb.r Of
cases of corporal punishment for that
year Is great reduction from previous
years. think the time has come for us
to inquire seriously why there are so
many cases In orr schools, and whether
the number ought not to be greatly re.
duccd.
The high schools and tie girls gram.
mar schools report no cases. Pr mary
school No ., one of the large schools
and good school in every respect,
ports none, and has reported only one
case in five years. Why should another
primary school have TO report sixty-eicht
cases, another seventy nine, and another
eighty-ninei There Is a difference In
communities, and all children cannot bc
governed in the same way; but IN any
community the teacher who has made IN
her mind to govern without resort to cor
poral punishment, will find that in A
little time she lat til
IL than with 1t.
Our rules forbid suy one except the
principal from intlicting corporal punish
mcnt. A hasty glance at the corporal
punishment column, on page 10, might
lead the reader to suppose that the diff
ference in the number Of cases in the diff
ferent schools is due to difference Of dis
position in the principals. Indeed there
are those who have drawn this inference
from previous reports. II must be borne
in mind, however, that while assistants
cannot inflict corporal punishment, they
can insist that the principal shall do so,
AID, If their pupils are refractory, and
the principal will not whip them, they
can blame her In part at least, for the
disorder In their rooms.
IN the case If very refractory pupils,
the alte. native for corporal punishment is
suspension, and suspension seems to
he looked upon here as wore than whip
plug.
The blenders are usually boys, and it
Is said with the force OF truth, that, TO
many boys. suspension ia no punt shment
To be out Of school is Just what pleases
them. Parents in many cases return sus.
pended boys and insis that they be kept
In school aud, II necessary, punlf into
obedience. The reports OF the schools
show very few suspensions. An exami-
nation of the monthly reports shows that
the rooms in which there were the most
cases OF corporal punishment, were, as
rule, IN charge Of teachers, who, while
they do not tolerate much triilug, are
faithful, accurate, energetic, and appar-
entity actnated by good motives.

The agricultural department
has issued its crop report for the
month of September.
Cotton.-rhe condition and
prospect of the crop, in the aver
age FOR the State, shows an in
provement Of 6 points since the
first of August. The reports Of
correspondents show a very de-
cided improvement in the sections
OF North, Midlle and Southeast
Georgia, with bat little change in
Southwest and East Georgia.
Among the casualties affecting
the crop rust has been mentioned
by many of the correspondents in
all of the sections, except South
east Georgia, but no considerable
INJURY seems to have resulted
from this cause. CaterpiIlars and
boil worms have been observed in
u few localities only.
In North Georgia the condition
