Miss Becky had had other expecta-
tons in her heyday, when young Larry
Rogers met her and carried her baskets;
when his strong arm padded her down
the broad river to church on Sunday
mornings; when they sang together in
the choir from the same hymn book;
when they loitered homeward in the
fragrant summer dusk, and heard the
whip-poor-will complain, and startled
the tire-fies in the hedges as they
brushed by. 1t sometimes seemed to
Miss Becky as if all this had happened
in another planet. She was young then,

though the rheumatism had bent her
figure, and rendered her more or less
helpless at times, yet her dark, velvety

\ Fish ont of Water.

1t is clear that the Keyser 1ri6Hne is
out of its element in discussing cor
poral punishment in the public
schools.
Or it is fighting round the bush.
1t either knows nothing of human
nature, or it is making poor use of
whatever information it has.
The JOURNAL has held that in the
very constitution of things there never
was and cannot be equality in any
sense between teacher and pupil that
if the tutor and child are by any law
made equal in authority, there will
be no school.
As to the legal point involved the
JOURNAL cares nothing. 1t matters
not whether the law permits, author
ICES or prohibits chastisement-thls
has. in our view. nothing to do with
the case. not even in the abstract.
The question is-can education as a
rule be impaired without disciplinary
regulations. and can these be enforced
by that absurdity-an executive with
out power? Can the State with one
hand erect a system, and with the
other pull it down by emasculating its
agent of the force to make it effective
We answer in the negative, and are
ready for all corners, the New York
World, with its exceptional cases, in
Guided.
The whole matter at last comes
down to individual choice. If man
does not want his children corrected,
or chastised as offences may warrant,
let him take the consequences of his
mawkishness by keeping them under
his own eve.
Especially let him not stand in the
way of his neighbor who Is anxious to
have his children taught and the les
son enforced if need be, that all
authority in school, and out of school,
rests wholly upon obedience that this
great word is the A pha of all alpha
bets-to the end that those who would
one dav command must learn to obey.
