Bringing Up Boys Right

New York will probably permit her schoolteachers to punish refractory pupils with a rod hereafter. instead of trying to accomplish the same result with kind words. This is wise. for It Is particular ly true In a city like New York, with Il cosmopolitan population, that moral sua- sion can never be one fraction as efiec- tive as corporal punishment. It is mol the actual physical hurt ns much as it is the humiliation of being beaten ever so gently that counts. Much of the school teachers trouble would be obviated If parents would use the rod more often at home, and inculcate the right ideas of obedience there. It does not make criminals or sour dispositions, certain wiseacres to the contrary notwithstnud- ing. as most adults today have been through this same course of treatment ip their youth.
