Teacher Stariles the
School Trustees.

BY the laws of Maryland corporal
punishment In the public schools OF
that state is forbidden. This pro.
hibition was much condemned by ceT-
tain OF the teachers with old-fashloned
ideas, especially by teacher In one
OF the schools on the eastern shore
some years ago. He was a strapping
big fellow, and It was lucky for his
pupils, who were rather rough lot,
that they were protected by the afore-
mentioned law.
The teacher did the best he could,
under the circumstances, but, moral
suasion proving OF little avail, he
finally laid his case before the board
of trustees.
Gentlemen" said he, after a recital
OF his trials, those boys must be
licked"
You can't do that replied the
chairman.
Then you must assist me in con.
trolling them"
That, SIR" observed the chairman
testify, is what you are employed to
do"
I'm that CASE continued the teach
err, you must allow me to lick them.
Corporal punishment is against the
law" insisted the chairman.
Then, gentlemen" concluded the
teacher, with considerable emphasis
someone must be licked; and wan
to say right here that the next time
have trouble with my boys I'm goins
to- lick a trustee. AS I have trouble
about once day. each one OF 20,
may expect, on the average. one lick
ing per week. reckon there's no Law
against that"
