in that institution by the investigation conducted
by Deputy Controller Gilman and Secretary Heb

nication in part is:
the Board Of Managers Of the institution that cor
poral punishment should be inflicted upon the In
mates in fact. informed that such punish
ment is prohibited by the rules OF the institution
Notwithstanding this. It appears from the sworn
evidence. both from the attendants and inmates
that corporal punishment Is quite generally in
fiicted The nature OF this punishment consists Of
striking them both naked and clothed with the
hand and sticks and with rubber hose. and kick
ing them. II also shown that attendants were
in the habit Of punching the children In their
