The Rod in School

School principals are naturally divided
ed over the restoration of corporal pun
ishment in the schools, but the majority
in iRyor of the request is very large.
That ought to be conclusive with the
Board of Education, for the simple reason
that the principals who do not believe in
whipping or who can govern without it,
will not have to resort TO il because the
board permits it. 1t is matter of discre-
ton, and every tendency toward eposing
a larger Siscretion in the principal, and
then holding him accountable for the re-
suits, ought TO be encouraged. Some
men can govern boys without the rod,
and any man can govern some boys, in
deed, most boys, without the rod. But
there are exceptional cases among boys
and among principals, and the rules
should make allowances and give author
ity for those special cases.
The fact is that our schools have run
mad over the idea of uniformity. The
tendency everywhere is TO seek TO turn
out children as much alike as two patent
rockers from the same factory. Now,
children are not alike by nature, aud the
chief value OF education is to train a child
to use advantag eously those faculties in
which he is strongest. The moment the
fact is discovered that a certain percent
age of children can do so much work in
certain time, the courS of study is gauged
up to that speed, and the teachers are eX-
pected To spur up the dullards to il so as
to make good showing of "grouud COW
cred" Most children ara to be governed
without corporal punishment, and the
same effort TO adapt all children to this
majority rule resulted in prohibiting
whipping. Undoubtedly, logging used
to he overdone, but the effort to get along
without it is as mischievous as the over
doing, because it gives an ugly boy an
undue sense Of his own power and inn
portance, trait which is sure to lead
him into mischief in the outside world.
Neither parent nor teacher should nog
child in temper, but it must be remem-
bered that tne oflense which tends to
rouse the teachers temper is not commit
ted in the presence of The principal. He
meets the offender in a cool and unbiased
state of mind like court of appeals.
Under such circumstances the chance of
principal flogging boy unjustly to
crafty either his sense of power or mis-
own brutal nature is very slight. If a
principal fiOgs in such spirit aud with
out cause, he ought to be tried and dis
missed Because one man in a hundred
misuses power is no reason why the
other so should be deprived of the power
when they need it to maintain discipline.
Tho principals say they do need the lib
erty TO fog in emerl ences, and they are
the best Judges of the situation. Brook

The School Directors Convention.


The second annual meeting of the
School Directors Association of Forest
County, was held in the court house last
Friday afternoon.
a, w. Albaugh called the convention to
order, and II. l.. haslet read the minutes
of the last convention. d. W. Morrison
welcomed the directors to Tionesta and
spoke briefly on the factors of the school.
e. L. SIitzinger reported on the work
OF the committee in introducing the
course of study and the possibility of the
course being helpful to the schools,
NJ, A. Carringer SPOKE of the purpose
and advantages in the idea of centrai-
ztion OF schools. He pointed out very
clearly the defects in the common school
system Of our state and how the centrali-
zation idea could remedy those defects.
T. f. Ritchey called the attention OF his
audience in masterful way to certain
duties of the directors and the importance
of the office, the compensation received
through the knowledge of the good done
to the children.
Miss Bertha Thomson read an essay in
which she showed marked difference
between the ordinary and the eminently
successful. She paid fine tribute to the
work of the convention. Miss Nellie
NJ. Carson recited apoem in decidedly
masterful manner. She is a reciter of ex.
traordinary ability and always pleases
her audience.
A. c. Brown very courteously resigned
his place on the program to the next
speaker. His subject was a very impor-
tant one, but the hour was late and he
preferred to be omitted rather than keep
the convention beyond time.
Dr. Samuel Weir, principal of the
Clarion Normal school, combined the
forces OF wit, eloquence and thought, and
held the audience for half hour in his
natural masterful way.
1t is to be regretted that the people of
the town and surrounding country take
so little interest IN the convention. The
audience was very small but the pro-
gram and exercises were of the highest
order.
