required. At the Merino school the COM

formal complaint that her boy, aged nine
years, had been unduly punished by the
teacher, Miss Ada G. Gorton, principal of
that school. Miss Gorton was present at
the hearing, and while she admitted
chastising the boy, she was not aware it
was excessive punishment that she ad-
mlnistered .or dIsobedience. That marks
remained upon his person alter the whip
ping she was sorry for. Mrs. Greenwood
was inclined to desire her child to mind
his teacher and was not desirous OF inter-
fering with the teachers rights In the
matter.
Mrs. Greenwood stated that her hus-
