quarter past one Mrs. Coyne was there.
~ deny that 1 ever said to Thomas
Coyne that 1 had done wrong and knew
It. That story is absolutely false. When
Mrs. Coyne came wanted to send the
boy home, but she said no, no must go 10
the Maine General. She went to get
DIR. Thompson and 10 was ais before
the boy was finally sent home"
In answer to questions, Mr.. Andrews
said hs did push the boy quite hard, In
fact hard enough to cause him to fall
down.
MIR. McGowan-"You say you don
allow the boys in your school yard to run,
chase one another, touch one another or
squabble. May ask what you do allow
them to dor"
MIR. Andrews said he allowed them to
walk around and talk with one anoth-
err. He has $40 boys In this school and the
yard is small and such rule is necessary
to prevent accidents.
Mr.. McGowan-" You say you heard
the boy mutter something you didn't
understand, and then grabbed him by
the collar and pushed him DOWN."
Mr.. Andrews-"Yes.s
Mr.. Haseltine-"Why didn't you take
the boy to your office Elf you wanted to
punish him."
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1900-11-27

MIR. Andrsws-"If took every boy
have to. punish for running about the
yard to my Office, 1t would make the
punishment too severe for the fault. ..
Mr.. McGowan-'Don't you think 1t
would have been better TO have taken
the boy to your room and punished him
thereP Don't you know that our rules
say that the discipline shall be Of par
entail nature rather than by corporal pun
ishment."
MIR. Andrews-''I haven't strapped a
boy this year"
The Mayor--"Mr. MCGOWAN wishes 60
imply, MIR. Andrews. that you are in the
habit OF pushing boys down intending
them to be injured as was this boy"
Mr.. McGowan-"I didn't imply any.
thing Of the sort, nor did l intend to do
So"
The next witness was JanItor McKen.
ney, who said the boys were together
when Mr.. Andrews took the Coyne boy
and gave him q little push. The boy wal
carried to MIR. Andrews's Office and al
quarter to one o'clock Mr.. McKenney
had seen him in the basement of the
building.
Mrs. Coyne said that her boy had beer
forced to go there and had to be carried
back up stairs.
