hardly learned the color OF her child's
eyes before she yearns TO take it out all
by herself that the world may see she

THERE is a curious aspect to the
question of corporal punishment in
the schools in New Jersey. The law
positively prohibits such punishment
in the schools, but the rules Of the
Board of Education of Newark per-
NIT the use of the rod. In a case,
therefore, in which the principal Of
one of the Newark schools was tried
for assault on a pupil, the court
charged that the teacher had right
to inflict reasonable punishment on
misbehaving scholar. AS the al
legged misdemeanor was an aggra-
waited case of "spitball," the jury
brought in a verdict of cents dam
ages for the plaintiff. Served the
plaintiff right. But what becomes
of the State law?
