Movement Is on Foot to Renew That
Method of Discipline.

Kansas City. Feb. A movement for
the restitution of corporal punishment in
the public schools has been started in the
far east and appears to be extending
westward. Local educators regard il
disinterestedly as Kansas City's regula-
tions governing the punishment of pupils
has ben found TO be admirable. 1t pro-
vides for a medium method of accom-
plishing the ends Of discipline, and has
been in vogue for fifteen years. Children
can not be whipped here without the con
sent of parents, and then not without the
cognizance of the superintendent of
schools.
Superintendent Greenwood has given the
subject of discipline much study He
believes that a wise admixture of cor
poral punishment with ACCOMPLISHMENT is
best in school government. Speaking of
the action of the Brooklyn School Teach
srs' association. which last week petit
toned the school board of New York. to
reinstate corporal punishment, Mr.. Green
wood said:
There is some merit in the appeal. and
yet ] hardly think il is q safe power to
lodge with the average ward school
teacher. The movement interests me more
because il bears on serious sociological
problem. and that is the tendency of
school children. young and old. 10 mutiny

Iawlessness which incites such uprisings
should be sUothered. II it requires cor
pcral punishment 10 10 it. then I am in
favor Of that form Of discipline
The superintendent chief objection to
whipping in schools is that II Confers more
benefit upon the teacher than upon the

unlikely 10 measure the punishment by the

restoring health, strength and beauty
to weary women, who have been pre-
maturely aged and invalided by these
distressing ailments, as well as such
sympathetic Affections as anemia, chic
