MUNCIE, Ind, Oct. 2S.-The city schools

Noah's Ark Leads,

They are turning out some largo
wooden sailing vessels in our home ship
yards this season. Some of them are
four-masters. But after all some of the
wooden ships of olden times were larger
even than the steel steamships of the
present day. One of Ptolemy Philo-
pater's carried 1900 rowers, 400 sailors
and 5000 soldiers. But this even was
nothing to a ship constructed by Hero,
that old Syracuse tyrant This is re-
ported to have had all the variety of
apartments Of palace-banqueting
rooms, galleries, gardens. tishponds las
il there were not fish enough just out
side), stables, mills and bathrooms. It
had eight towers with walls and bull
warks and one machine of war which
threw stone of 300 pounds half mile,
1t seems that there was no port in Sici-
ly capable of containing this vessel in
safety, so Hero had to give it away.
Such vessels as this win compare very
favorably with the leviathans of the big
ocean steamship companies of the pres
snt day
II. however, larger ocean steamers yet
appear, as is reported. there will be
nothing to compare with them If we ac-
cept Noah's ark. which still has the lead
as to size.

Great wrongs often arise

getfulness to do unto others as
we would have others do unto us

shoulders passes quietly along

boy purposeiy runs up against
her several times and upsets her
basket. Angered beyond con-
troll, she picks up stone and
if she had killed her tormentor
she would have been hung (by

Ex-Cathctira Oninion

If corporal punishment should be abol-
ished in schools, why do experienced
teachers unite in saying that this form
of discipline is necessity?
If we want information or opinion Of
value on things eternal, we naturally 20
to a clergyman. If we want to learn
something about machine, we go to a
mechanic. and if we want to know some
thing about printing we go to a printer.
We don't take much stock in what is
said by those who know little about
these matters. But when it comes to
the subject of corporal punishment in
schools we listen to almost anybody who
can get the public prints as vehicle for
their theories.
While the old system of fiogging for
every trivial offense was wrong, the prac-
teal abolition of corporal punishment in
schools is just as great a mistake. There
are certain bad boys who fear nothing
but physical pain. Pleadings or sarcasm
are wasted upon them. They laugh at
any attempt to enforce moral lessons.
Then they demoralize other boys and
make discipline an impossibility. Again,
the only way possible to reform the vi
cious criminal is a sound thrashing.
On the question of corporal punish
ment public opinion should back up
those best fitted to be judges-the public
