THE ROD m SCHOOL HISTORY.

While corporal punishment in

there are persons who will learn with
tranquility of the promotion of tho
Audrain county teacher who was
recently IN court on the charge Of hav-
ing whipped . pupil. The jury, it
will be remembered, sfded with the
teacher. Now she has procured =

in Macauley's remark that if q pupil

must be admitted that methods were

DR.. Arnold of Rugby, as described in
''Tom Brown" wonld hag a school

discountenanced, few old-fashioned
persons are left who look with a GER

Possibly this feeling is partly due
to sentiment. A stimulating writer
has recently pointed out that the re-
vival of the colonial style of architec-
ture in the modern home is the result
chiefly of association with the past. A
race likes to feel the continuity of its
history. The man who builds him

the fact that it is like the abode of

IT'S up TO THE PEOPLE.

Brushing aside the small clond
with which the extreme "Wets'' and
''Drys" have managed to envelope
themselves and obscure the situation,
the real issue of most vital Importance
to the people of Hamilton to be deter
mined at the election next Monday is
revealed. 1t is, simply, shall the
town go backward or forward? Shall
policy of retrogression succeed one
of push and progress?
Two elements are striving for con-
troll. The one is inspired with a
burning zeal to regulate the appetites
of the people of the community while
the other, whose business has been
outlawed, is on the defensive, and, as
. sort of object lesson, would make a
1'horrible example, of the town by
blocking all improvements.
Last November the town council by
q unanimous vote passed resolution
providing for the planting of 1000
shade trees along the streets of Ham
ilton. This work was to begin on or
before April l, 1904. In due season
the properly delegated official, the
town marshal, began preparations to
to make effective the councils legis-
1ative enactment. Surveys were
made; trees ordered and men engaged
to do the work.
At this point a majority of the
council, some of whom were sore be-
cause of the passage of the local
option law, and others who we're actu-
ated by economical motives-the
towns revenues having been curtailed
The Western news., 1904-03-30

about $4,000 psr annum by the sus-
pension of the licensing of saloons
stopped proceedings by serving notice
that no bills that might be contracted
in carrying out this work would be
allowed by the council
The mayor, who is heartily in favor
OF proceeding with the work, of
course, in his executive capacity, un-
der certain limitations, might have
gone ahead with the improvement,
but in view of the fact that the peo-
ple's money is involved and an cleo
ton being at hand wherein they may
pass upon the matter, he has pre-
ferred to suspend action until the
people can manifest their wishes
through the medium of their ballots.
The matter cannot be submitted by
the simple "yes" or mo" plant is
necessary to elect for mayor and al
dermen men who will carry out your
wishes in this respect. If you are in
favor Of planting those trees, or, in
other words, improvements and prog
ress, pledge your candidate, be he
''wet," or "dry," to carry out your
wishes.
In the nature of things Hamilton's
future as town rests in the hands of
her citizens. Obviously, no single
improvement can be carried out that
will make Hamilton more attractive
as home town and summer resort,
thereby enhancing the value of every
dollars worth of property, to say
nothing of contributing to the COM
fort of her citizens, than by planting
uniform lines of shade trees along
every street The work need not be
completed in a single season, but
let's make good beginning now.
1t may may be several years before
Mr.. Robert O'Smith has succeeded in
Mr.. Richard Roe's appe-
tite to his complete satisfaction and it
is foregone conclusion that a long
and bitter struggle must ensue before
Mr.. John Barleycorn will contentedly
submit to having his business out
lawed!
Meanwhile, must all improvements
stop? Must the wheels of progress
cease to revolve? Shall another ten
years be permitted to roll along be-
fore those trees are set out?
Just imagine what an attractive
little city this would be now had uni
Form lines of trees been planted along
Ill the streets ten years ago. I'm
sglne, if you can, how much comfort
nay he absorbed while plodding
Ilong Hamilton's leaf embowered
venues during the long string of hot
lid summer times with which the
'ears to come are 80 pregnant! s
It's up to the people.

to think Of the colonial school house
without it's bundle of switches behind
the teachers desk. The rod was as
much part of the outfit as the rude
benches themselves, or as the raised
platform where sat the master. 1t
long preceded the invention of black
boards or states. In fact, 1t is
probably coeval with the school itself.
In times past the only day when no
body "got licked" was the DAY when
school didn't keep" For centuries
the switch was an integral part of
school life, just as until recently it
has been an essential factor in all
school literature.
Sentiment, however, is not the only
reason why these old-fashioned per-
sons have regretted the extreme de-
velopment of the moral suasion the
ory. Years ago, at any rate, there
used to be a few pupils in every
schoolroom who could be kept in or
der only by the occasional laying on
of hands The brief use of the
switch or the ruler or a gentle shak-
ing had wonderful effect in clear
ing the atmosphere and encouraging
all the pupils to walk in the paths of
peace and learning. How the mod
ern teacher manages to keep room
in order without an occasional resort
to the time-tried remedies is one of
the marvels. For the child of today

ter behaved by nature than was the
youngster Of a generation ago
These reflections are put forward
with some diffidence, for they are con-
spicuously out of harmony with the
spirit of the times. Yet it is believed
that they sometimes must occur to
benighted persons who have not kept !
pace with all the advances of the up
to-date education. Kansas City Star.

HANGlNGS,

The Press is not partial to restrict.
i've legislation, but it does wish the
next Legislature of this state would
enact law to put a stop to the dis
gusting publication of the details OF
public executions.
The newspapers of Montana seem
to think that sheir readers are con-
sumed with interest in such matters.
When Mott was hanged in Misscula
the readers of morning papers had at
their breakfast tables not only the de-
tails of the execution, but rebash Of
the crime committed by Mott.
1t is said sometimes that newspap-
ers give the news. that is demanded
by their readers. In the first place,
that is not true; for they suppress d
great deal of news that the readers
want. WHAT ne wspaper has received
a petition from any number of read
ers asking for the details of execu-
tions? asks the Helena Press.
