There was a little girl and she had
little curl.
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good
She was very very good,
And when she was bad she was
horrid."
This little girl of this old st, Nicholas
rhyme has suddenly come forward in
the Department of Public Instruction
investigation. 1t is no longer possible
to say that the legislative committee
has secured no testimony from teach
ers against the superintendent, for it
has been clearly shown that he stop
ped the spanking of this bad little girl,
at time when she had been horrid
for a long period.
1t is clear that this is a gross inter-
ference with the duties, rights, and pri-
vileges of a teacher. The only thing
to be done is to amend the charges
against the superintendent by striking
out the charge that he has been in
different to the work Of the teachers
and inserting a charge that he inter-
fered too much. What is to become
of our schools IL a teacher may not
make proper use of a motherly knee,
across which to spread bad little girls
for purposes of needed correction? The
teachers complaint is well grounded
and ought to count. Let the spanking
go on regardless.
