On The Investigations Of DIR. John
] Cronin. in connection with the
school children OF the public schools
of New York city, and OF others, have
shown that a considerable fraction OF
the pupils who are truants, and Of
those who are so-caIled incorrigfbies,
have physical defects of more or less
ser lous character. There Is also am
pie evidence at hand TO show tnat,
with the removal of these physical de-
fects, many become amenable 10 the
ordinary forms OF discipline. To whip
children who have low mentality, be-
cause they do not successfully respond
to mental stimuli. Is not only absurd.

the criminal type, In that II lowers still
further the grade OF those children so
treated. IL tends to emphasize the
lower motives, such as fear, rather
than the higher motives. such az hope.
No treatment OF the predetermined has
ever been successful which has been

successful which have been based
lupon hone and love. The epoch-mak.

and thus is to be excluded on hygienIc
grounds.
ca Punishments are sometimes
given because the teacher is fatigued
and irritable. The teacher Is fncom.
petent to tell when this ia the case.
Some days there are regular. crops or
disturbances that seem to call for cor
poral punishment, while on other days
there are practically none These are
due to some extent to changes in the
weather, affecting pupils and teachers
alike. To punish for and under such
conditions is manifestly absurd.
(5) In view of the well established
facts as TO sadism and masochism, cor.
poral punishment should only be civ.
en- under conditions OF the greatest
care as to the possible presence OF
such sexual peryersity In either pupil
or teacher Such care Is well-nigh i'm
possible.
(6) In view OF the fact that the dis
cipline OF school Is not a function OF
the amount OF punishment given In It.
and that the measurement OF the
amount of punishment the teacher
uses is a measure OF her inferiority
rather than OF her superiority, II seems
reasonable that corporal punishment
should be abolished.
Cd Corporal punishment involves
loss OF self-respect on the part OF
the pupil. Self-respect Is the most
valuable asset making for food con.
duct. and must be secured by every
means within our power. From this
standpoint. corporal punishment
should be altogether abolished.
