coRPoRAL PUNISHMENT.

II is very questionable whether il Is
good policy to abolish entirely corporal
punishment in the city schools, IN ac-
cordance with Prof. Chalmers idea.
There Is no doubt that such punish
ment should be last resort, and should
be administered with the greatest care.
Other means of correction should be
first exhausted, and, when it becomes
necessary to resort 10 corporal punish
ment, the punishment should be in
tiicted only under the sanction and su-
pervisiOn of the superintendent. The
teacher, against whose authority the
pupils offense has been committed,
should not have the power of inde-
pendent chastisement, tor punishment
IS very easily lost IN revenge, and an
outraged and insulted teacher does not
always use sufficient judgment in whip
ping.
If children were always duly dscip-
lined at home, the teachers work
would be comparatively light. But a
child that runs wild out of school is
not easily tanned in the fen hours de-
voted 10 school sessions. A little boy
asked his father what abolition of
corporal punishment in the schools"
meant. "It means" said the father,
''that you will get your spankings at
home, instead OF at school, If you do
not behave" Those boys who know
that their parents Will call them to
account for mlsbehavior at school,
seldom make trouble for their teachers.
What shall be done with lncOrrigl-
bles? Let them demoralize the discip-
| line of the schools? Certainly not.
Shall they be turned out of school?
In nine cases out Of ten that IS what
they would prefer, and then they
would be likely TO grow up in
/ idleness and crime. Shall the teachers
! spend, in cOaxing and persuading such
pupils, the time which belongs of bet
ter right to the other pupils? The par
ents Of the latter would not consent to
such a thing. Shall disoDedient pupils
be turned over TO the civil authorities?
We certainly would not deem 1t policy
TO make public criminals out of boys
who simply misbehave in school, when
a judcious application of the strap viii
answer the purposes.
If Prof. Chalmers can run the Grand
Rapids schools successfully, without re-
sort to corporal punishment, by all
means let him do it. No one will ac-
cord him greater honors for it than the
TELEGRAM-HERALD. But, nevertheless
I the Board Of Education Should hold in
reserve the right to apply corporal pun.
