THE ROD IN. SCHOOL
superintendent Snyder Says
1t Is Better to Get Along
Without It.
PRINCIPAL HASKELL'S OPINION.
Believes Punishment Should Be
Administered the Day After
the Offense is Committed.
PRINCIPAL HAsKELL's OPINION.

A question that is at present being much
discussed throughout this State is whether or
not the teachers in the public schools can
carry on their work more successfully with
the aid of corporal punishment, or as at
present, without it. The plan of 'sspare the
rod and spoil the child" is finding much OBJ
position in Sussex county, and it is probable
that a bill will be presented at the next
Legislature which will, if passed, revoke the
present law regarding corporal punishment
land give our school ''marmsn the privilege
of warming certain parts of their scholars
bodies with cruel rattans. The small school
boy will no doubt, as soon as he hears of this
movement, provide himself with padded
trousers and adopt such other measures as
the occasion may require, but he has an even
chance OF being spared this trouble. The
bill will not be passed with the unanimous
consent of teachers and principals, for al
ready many lave declared that they are
strongly opposed to it.
SUPERINTENDENT sNYDER's OPINION.
Superintendent of Schools, Henry Snyder
of this city, when I interviewed him yester-
day afternoon, said-
Il am opposed to the adoption of this bill.
] won'tsay there is no necessity for it. for
there may be cases where judicious corporal
punishment, carefully administered, might
do good; yet evils arising from such warrant
me in saying that it is better to get along
Without it. 1t requires more skill on the
part of our teachers to teach we'll without
corporal punishment, but / believe, as a
rule, our teachers have that skill. The
teachers should appeal to the better
motive of the child. Punishment
should not be vindictive. The
teachers should not put themselves in a posi-
ton so that children will think less of them.
Punishment should always be adapted to the
offence. The danger, as shown BY past ex-
p~erience, is that, if corporal punishment is al
lowed, it will be used where the occasion
would demand different punishment, al
though no complaint could be made of exces-
siye punishment.
Our effort in discipline should always be
to improve the pupils moral nature. The
teacher must use those methods which will
best produce this result. Corporal punish
ment very seldom does produce this result.
TIME CAUSES A CHANGE
tsThe necessity for all violent methods in
discipline is very rapidly passing away.
There may have been a time-doubtless there
was-in the earlier days of public schools
when there was less sympathy between par
ents and teachers, because there seemed to
be a greater distance between them when the
rod was useful. But this state of affairs no
longer exists. Most of the parents of our
pupils were themselves pupils in the public
schools and are in hearty accord with the
work Of the teachers. Such being the case,
the discipline is necessarily easier and better
than it formerly was.
Il cannot commend the order in our
schools, and the general behavior Of the

CHICAGO EXPOSITION.

Hawarden is 10 be on exhibition at the
Worlds Fair.
Florida, somewhat late it would seem,
is appropriating $20, 900 for State use at
the Worlds Fair on condition that the
railroads give like SUM.
The foreign commissioners at the
Worlds Fair propose TO have an indie
pendent board Of jurors and to issue III
plomas on their own account.
The Worlds Fair managers have fig
ured expenses down to $4,000 day,
whereas the daily average revenue from
admissions and concessions is about $780, :
600.
A majority OF the United States Cir
cuit Court has decided the Worlds Fair
must close Sundays. Judges Wood and
Jenkins ordered that an Injunction be
issued restraining the officials from open
ing the gates Of the fair grounds. Judge
Grosscup dissented, recommending that
the injunction applied for BY the United
States District Attorney be not granted.
The decision Of Judges Wood and Jen-
kins, though reaching the same point in
theend, take this action on widely diyerg-
ing grounds, and dissenting opinion dif-
ferE radically from both. The court
rooms were crowded when the decision
was read. Judge Wood read his own
opinion, in which he concluded that
jackson Park was lawfully devoted for
exposition purposes, and that the expo
giti0n had been in fact turned over to
the control Of the Federal government
by the local corporation, and that it's
control was therefore as absolute as it's
control Of the Federal building. He
held that the Sunday-closing rule, Iav-
ing once been passed by the local direc-
tory and approved by the National Com
mission, former body could not change
ii. Regarding the case before Judge
Stein Of the State court he held it was
no bar to the proceedings, because 1t is
inadmissible to say that the government
must in comfy yield to . State court.

An Insurance Curiosity.

Lemuel Hunter, why it is that when a
man is burned out he always overesti-
mates his loss about 200 per cent? This
is more particularly the case with fires
in frame building towns, where the loss
to the building is generally assessed at
between three and four times what it
cost to erect it. raised this question
not long since with a man who was
burned out. He said the loss to his build
ing was $1,000, but he proposed to re-
build at an expenditure of 81 200 and
have better building When ques-
toned the logic of his calculation, he
promptly corrected me by pointing out
that the real estate on which the build
ing stood was worth fully $4,000, and al
though he didn't pretend to argue that
the site had been burned up he seemed
to think himself perfectly justified in in
Guiding the value of the % feet frontage in
his estimate of loss No one was injured by
the calculation, and the good man was

sired, but if his idea is "A general one it is

Blood Nensels of the Eve.

Purkinje discovered very simple and
highly entertaining experiment by means
OF which the retina, with all its veins and
blood vessels standing on. in relief against
II, can be thrown into the air before ones
eyes. 1t is called the aborescent figure, to
its likeness to II many branched tree, and
Is produced in the following manner. In u
dark room at night move candle back
ward and forward before the eyes. After
q few seconds the air will assume a reddish
appearance, and running over it in all di
rections may be seen the veins and blood
vessels in bold relief, while toward the cen
ter of the figure there rises up dark
trunk, from which the veins branch out on
all sides.
The trunk is visible where the optic
nerve enters the eye, and this experiment
is chiefly interesting to the student as prov
Ing that the parts OF the retina which

that the earth is huge balloon held up,
in part at least, by heat and internal
gases, and that when natures great gas
main is eventually exhausted the earth's
crust may break in and fall into mil
lions of fragments! Ugh! The very
thought of such calamity is startling.
They argue that the steady belching
forth of millions of feet of gas every
hour of the day and night is surely caus-
ing great vacuum somewhere not far
beneath the surface, and that sooner or
later the thin archway of earth crust
will give way. Then will occur the
