His Tongue ScraPed and His Mouth
Washed for Using bad Words.
The Philadelphia Record publishes the
following in to-day's issue
The little town Of Claymont, Del, has
a sensation Ia the shape Of the new
teacher of the school, Samuel Roop of
Wilmington. Since 1905, when the
school-house was built and the school
opened, the use of the switch has been
the rule for punishment But when Mr..
Roop was appointed. a new state of
affairs begun. He found that a great
deal of swearing was done by the boys,
and that although punishment had been
applied, IL did no good. So he told the
boys that the next one he caught using
profane Language, should be punished In
a new way.
The victim was a little fellow of about
IL years Of age, who had frequently
committed the offense before, and had
been punished for it by being tied to q
hook in the wall of dark cellar under
the school house. This time. however
he was made to stand up before the
whole school, and his mouth was washed
out with a sponge and cold water. His
tongue was then seraped with knife
and he was told never TO use bad Ian
guage again, and he has not done so.
Another boy was made TO write ou
passages of Scripture thirty times eacl
for several days, and he has not repeated
the offense. Mr.. Roop says that he doe
not think he will have any more troubl'
in this direction. The scholars havi
learned that he will be obeyed Tn,
teacher declares that his methods are hi
own idea, and that the Directors are full,
satisfied with him.
