out at the roots. Such brutality as this
makes one wonder If the innate savagery

professor of pedagogy In the state schools
of New Jersey had published a book in
which he advocated a return to the system
which permitted teachers to use corporal

some thirty years ago.
The common-law theory, which prevailed
for a long time without any statutory limi-

OF the parent and may administer corporal
punishment ct his or her discretion when
ever and to whatever extent it may be
deemed necessary 1t is. 10 say the least. a
brutal way OF enforcing discipline. and a
teacher who cannot find a better way is
presumably unfit for the position. Children
are not sent 10 school to learn brutality.
and q teacher who Furnishes a pupil in
anger or resorts to cruel and unusual meth

should avoid rather than seek the response.
