WEALTH AND MORALS.

Mrs May Wright Sewall, in the course of
a long career of working and speaking for
the advancement of womankind, never said
truer thing than the following paragraph
in her speech before the graduating class of
the Classical School last week:
1t is true, without doubt, that domestic
infelicity is either on the increase or is be-
coming less reticent. 1t is certain that the
acute stage of domestic infelicity which
seeks treatment in the divorce court is on
the increase. But is 1t true that the unhap-
by marriage and the divorce are traceable
to the higher education of women? On the
contrary. / assert that they are both trace
able to the inadequate and partial education
of both men and women: that infelicity as
expressed in the divorce is not found in
the home of culture and refinement over
which the highly educated woman presides,
nor wherever found is 1t due TO an excess
of mental training, as / have already i'm
piled, but to a lack in our educational sys-
tenn which makes no provision for the train
ing of the heart. The evils that are so often
attributed to the higher education of
women. to their increasing personal liberty
and independence of expression are on
the other hand, justly attributed to the fact
that wealth and its natural results luxury,
selfshness and worldliness, are increasing
out of all proportion TO the increase of our
means of culture.
1t is an axiom Of history that the moral
corruption of people is apt to follow fast
upon the heels of its requirement of wealth.
A sparsely settled mountain community
needs little Of religion and less of law to
keep its morals comparatively clean. but
let such tribe descend upon the plain. as
they have done times without number in
the worlds history. make themselves its
masters and wax rich and numerous on the
fatter land. and just so surely will they find
ease, luxury and idleness enervating and
corrupting. No other religion than Chris
tianity has been able to appreciably check
this influence. and. with the marvellous in
crease of wealth and population of the
United States during the past twenty-five
years. IL is becoming a most serious ques-
ton with us whether Christianity itself IS
going to prove equal to the strain.
When man and woman must struggle with
nature for the subsistence OF themselves
and their young. the fight they make to-
sether generates that mutual rescect and

A TEACHER MAY WHIP.

After a trial in the Criminal Court, in
which the law and the evidence were
pretty thoroughly threshed out on both
sides, a jury, after celebrating only a few
minutes, acquitted Miss Kate Mason, prin-
cipal of one of the city schools, from the
charge of assault and battery for whip
ping boy pupil. Under the strong and
clear charge of the court the jury could
not have done anything else. The courts
and the verdict OF the jury was right. The
charge was all good. and part of it is
worth repeating. The judge said:
Without the power and authority to
compel by al reasonable means and meth
dollars spent in this country for the care
and management of our scholastic great
bulwark of our country-are as good as
wasted. The law in cases like this not
only presumes that the teacher is innocent
as charged, but the law also presumes that
in this punishment she has done her duty
in the enforcement of obedience and order
in her school Do you think or be-
lieve that a fine wrongfully or enormously
assessed in this case will aid the teachers
I'm this school in their attempt to enforce
good order and obedience, or would it have
a tendency to cause others to rebel and
disobey and prosecute, when the teacher
endeaVpred to compel ODeC1enCe, the WEI
fare and best interests of all school chill
dren in this country in the future the good
of the common schools, law and order,
each and all demand that you make no
mistake in this case
The court emphasized the Importance of
sustaining teachers in their efforts to
maintain discipline, and deprecated inter-
ference by parents to prevent a reasonable
exercise of authority. It pointed out the
fact that under the laws of the State
teachers have The same rights and au-
thority to punish children under their
charge. in a reasonable manner for all
misconduct, that the parent of the child
has, and the law will not interfere un-
less the punishment inflicted is cruel and
unreasonable"
An attempt had been made to prove that
the punishment was cruel and excessive
because the boys legs showed marks of
the whipping he had received. Boys legs
are more tender now than they used to
be, and show the marks of a whipping
much more plenty. Fifty years ago a boy
who deserved it got a hard whipping. and
IL his body showed marks of IL he kept
the fact to himself. That a teacher stands
in loco PARENTS and has the same right to
whip a child for disobedence insybor-
dination that parent has. has been a set
tied principle OF law from time imme-
mortal The right must be used with dis
erection. and 2. teacher would be held re-
sponsiblc for infiicting cruel or excessive
punishment, but ii would take much more
than few black and blue spots on boys
body or welts on his legs to constitute
that. The Journal holds that whipping is

pine In all mixed and public schools. and

Perhaps lawyers may differ to the pro-
priety of Judge Whallon's action in binding
Stahl over to the grand jury. because law

involved, but there will be no difference of
opinion among common-sense people. From
that point of view there can be no doubt
but the prosecution made case that clearly
justified the action of the court.

The action of the Council investigating
committee in disseminating the employment
of Mr.. Noel as it's attorney in investigating
the charges against Mr.. Logsdon should
not surprise any person who has kept in
touch with the developments in connection
with the Stahl trial. On the contrary, 1t
would have been cause for surprise If the
committee. in the light of those develop
ments, had NOT Cancelled Mr.. Noels employ
ment. His employment by the committee
was to assist it in making a thorough in
vestigation of charges that had been made
against Mr.. Logsdon in connection with the
awarding of street-sprinkling and sweeping
contracts. The committee itself was not
instructed to investigate any other transac-
tons or charges, and of course Mr.. NoeTs
employment did not contemplate his doing
so. Much less did it contemplate his ally
ing himself with a movement to entrap Mr..
Logsdon into the commission of a crime.
When Mr.. Noel stipulated and the commit
tee agreed that he should have a free hand
in prosecuting the investigation which he
was employed to assist the committee in
making, 1T meant that he would be expect
ed to go to the bottom of that business. 1t
did not mean that he was to have a free
hand to form secret alliances and engage in
underhanded attempts to attack Mr.. Logs
don and the city administration by foul
blows from an unexpected quarter. Mr..
Noel's conduct in this regard was fully suf-
ficient to justify the discontinuance of his
employment by the committee, and his per-
sonal treatment of some members Of the
committee could not have continued his
employment without in measure stultify-
ing itself and sacrificing it's self respect.

quently or unnecessarily, nor done in pas
sion or excess. it is not a proper cause
of complaint against teachers who are
supposed to act within the limits of pro-
priety as they certainly do within the
limits Of the law in infiicting reasonable
corporal punishment. Children should not
be encouraged in a spirit of INSTRUMENTATION
towards teachers. 1t is said that In one
city Of Indiana an association is being
formed pledging its members, parents, to
whip any teacher who whips one of their
children. Such an association would be
incipient anarchy. The law permits a
teacher to whip a child, but it does not
permit the child's father to whip teacher.
The fact that this case was taken into
court shows that whipping is rare &C.
currence in the public schools of the city.
There Is no danger that twill become
too frequent or be improperly applied. and
when, at long intervals, it does occur the
presumption should be that Ii is necessary.
