SCHOOL STRAPS.
Lucky Eighth Grades to Escape
for One Year.

Superintendent SWEET was principally en-
gagged at yesterdays meeting of the school
principals in clearing up points in the rules
recently issued by the Board of Education
on which the principals had doubts.
The question If oral punishment was
the most important matter brought before
the meeting. Mr.. SWEET read the new rule
which enj0ins that only q strap may be
used. and that only on the hand. Slaps on
the face were strongly deprecated by the
Superintendent.
I'm this country" said the Superinten-
dent, ''the practice is regarded an insult.
l would suspend teacher ii it were re-
ported to me that she had slapped a pupils
face much more quickly than for the most
severe whipping that could be inflicted with
strap" A sample of the proposed strap,
Mr. SWEET added, was in the rooms of the
Board OF Education. If teachers would all
procure a duplicate there would BE- no ex-
cuse for saying a principal had used an I'M
usually severe Instrument OF punishment
An expression of opinion from tie prln-
cipalS present was asked by Mr. SWEET on
the policy of abollshiug corporal punish
ment in the eighth grade, and substituting
suspension as an alternative.
Inc principals were IN favor OF the pro-
posed change, and it is to be tried as an eX-
pertinent for year.
The new rule requiring that pupils attend
the schools nearest their residence also gave
rise to some discussion.
Principal John O'COnnor said his plan
had been to keep old pupils, no matter where
they lived, and to refer the parents of new
applicants t. the Chairman Of the Classical
ton Committee. Mr.. 0'Connor asked if his
course was the correct one.
Mr.. SWEET explained that the object of the
rule was TO relieve the more popular schools
from being overcrOwded and to fill up the
schools hich contained skeleton classes.
The matter could be dealt with when the
late-returning pupils came back to school.

Park Suicide.

sign that still hangs over the Morgue slab
upon which lies the body of the young man
who committed suicide in Golden Gate Park
last Monday night by shooting himself in
tho right eye. Dozens viewed the remains
yesterday, but the suicides identity was not
established.
Among those who gazed upon the features
of the deceased was a pale-faced young
woman, who carried bunch of marguerites
tied with white ribbon.
It's not he" she said, sadly, but. poor
fellow, shall leave these as a slight trip
rte." Then she surprised every one by
placing the snowy-white flowers upon the
breast of the deceased.
Asked for an explain alton, she said her
brother left for the country two weeks ago
and She had not heard from him since.
Having read of the park suicide she feared
the deceased might be her brother, and so
she came to the Morgue prepared to decorate
his bier. She was greatly relieved by the
discovery that the suicide was not her
brother
