IN CASES OF ANGER.

Bad children in the schools of Tur-
key, Persia and China suffer very
painful mode of punishment known as
the baStinado. The SOleS of the feet
are severely struck with a lath, paddle,
or stick of bamboo, sometimes until
the blood issues from beneath the
nails. This mode is particularly in
vogue in Mohammedan schools, where
children are taught to read the Koran.
Prof. Lyman Cobb, a veteran New
York schoolmaster, who a half a cen
fury ago was the author of a, number
of school books, teachers manuals and
the like, expressed his opinion that
when child becomes very angry and
perhaps throws himself upon the floor
a sudden dash of cold water in the face
or on the back of the head and neck
will have an excellent effect. Some
times" he continued, boys become
angry at each other The parent or
teacher can cause them to drink a
considerable quantity of cold water, or
he can turn some on their heads or on
the back of their neckS School boys
sometimes fight and quarrel. A pail
full of water thrown over them will
cool their anger and youthful ardor.
In the winter let them when in anger
be required to eat a SNOWFALL and it
will have a capital effect in aIlaying
an excited temper
In another paragraph of advice this
original disciplinarian prescribes that
angry boys should also, in winter, be
to stand close to the fire until
breaking into a profuse perspiration.
