PUNISHMENT OF PUPILS.
How PubIic-SchooI Scholars Mny BE
DiScipIiued.

A recent attempt to prosecute one OF our
most efficient public-school teachers for
a commendable effort TO enforce proper
school discipline evinces the fact that
the duties, prerogatives. and responsible
ties OF pubiic-school teachers are not fully
understood or appreciated.
The Teachers Relation To His Pupils:
The teacher stands in loco PARENTS TO his
pupils. This relationship vests the
teacher with full parental authority over
the pupil so long as the pupil Is pro-
perly under his care; and devolves upon
him the duty Of exercising towards the
pupil proper parental care, control, and
protection.
The Relation OF Public-school Teachers
To the State: Public-school teachers
are officers OF the State. employed by
1t 10 so train, instruct, and govern
those who may be committed to their
care. az TO make them intelligent
moral. orderly, law-loving, law-abiding.
patriotic, and useful citizens. To do this
they must maintain proper discipline.
This should be done mostly by persuasive
means Kindness, gentleness. and AZ
lection will generally win the confidence
and love of the pupil. and secure obedi-
ence to proper authority.
There will be exceptions TO this rule.
These exceptions may almost invariably
be traced to want Of proper parental
authority and training. 1t rarely occurs
that teacher has trouble with pupils
who enjoy proper home influences and
environments. The great body of law
lessness and crime which exist Is charge
able to the want of parental authority
and home discipline.
Nevertheless, these cases exist and
20 rnepf them
How must they deal with these incor-
rlglble cases? There are two potent
remedies. which, in their turn, must be
resorted TO. however painful they may
be to teachers. They are, indeed. the
most disagreeable duties teachers have
to perform.
First. the enforcement OF obedience and
order by kind and reasonable, but firm,
punitive disciplinary measures.
Secondly, by expelling those who can

means or reasonable punitive discipline.
This should be the dernier resort:
When q boy ia expelled from school the
most hopeful avenue to his future we'll

and hopefulness. and Is looked upon by
others as a castaway and prospective
criminal
IL is kindness to pupils and their
parents, and a solemn duty to society," 10
punish those pupils who cannot be other
wise controlled, rather than TO expel
them from school. But when all other
remedies fail. this last one must be re-
sorted 10. The efficiency OF a whole
school and the well-being OF whole
community must not be sacrificed by the
retention of a few incorrigible boys of
unreasonable parents.
