FavOrs Restoration of Cor

GUILD M POLAND ARE
STRONGLY OPPOSED TO IT
Superintendent Says New York
Will Take Step Backward
ii System Is Adopted.

Only one principal among a number
at the head of Newark schools today
expressed himself as favorable to the
whipping of pupils in the public
schools. Others thought there might
be cases where whipping would be
beneficial, but thought the exception
should not cause the adoption of a gen.
| eral permissive rule.
Corporal punishment is a relic OF
barbarisnl,' said Superintendent A. b.
Poland when asked what he thought
of the recommendations of the New
York Board of Education that the old
system be adopted under restriction.
There is little sentiment in favor OF
it in New jersey continued DR..
Poland, land il New York takes up
that suggestion it will be a step back

thing,
There are times when that form of
punishment seems necessary, but in
that case I'd rather leave it to the
parents. If we can't handle a boy in
our elementary public schools we have
other institutions where he can be sent
and get the needed correction.
Manhattan abolished whipping in
schools before n other city. They
ought not to go back to it. In our ex-
perience we have found that there are
better influences that are lust as ef-
fective as flogging.
Il remember the time when the bows

WOMEN Of NEWARK
To LOBBY FOR THE
Wv|SECT|ON BILL
Club Members to Take Prom
inent Part in the Fight
in Trenton.
MRS. SAYRE, PLAN LEADER,
TO CALL MASS MEETING
Other Prominent Club Women of
Essex Are Interested in
the Matter.

The women of Newark will undoubt-
edly do a great deal of lobbying in
TrentoH, when bill No. lis, for vivisec-
tion, which was drawn. by Mrs. Henry
n. Sayre, president of the Women
Auxiliary of the Humane Society OF
this city, and former Assemblyman
William Pennington, and presented
Monday by DR.. James II. Lowrey,
comes before the Legislature.
Mrs. Sayre, who Is also treasurer of
the New Jersey Federation of Women'S
Clubs, will call a mass-meeting of all
local club women, when the cruelty of
vivisection experiments will be thor
oughly discussed. The session will
probably be held next week. The COM
mittee of the State Federation of
Clubs, of which Mrs. Sayre is chair
man, and which has the matter in
hand, has sent out literature about
the cruelty of vivisection to all the
local clubs, and it is thought hat the
decision will be unanimous to fight
for the passage of the bill.
Mrs. Spencer Weart. president of the
Jersey City Women's Club, the other
member of the committee of the FEEDER
alton, is working among the women
in Hudson County, and Mrs. Sayre is
particularly anxious that the State
Federation of Clubs approve of this
bill In a petition showing the reces-
sity of a law preventing cruel visisec-
ton.
II am waiting to see with what suc-
cess the women in New York will meet
at their mass meeting tonight" said
Mrs. Sayre today. 1.-The Ladies' Aux
Hilary of the Humane Society is deeply
interested in this matter, and if 3ll
the club women will lend us their aid
We. will undoubtedly succeed. 1t is
cruelty in the extreme to operate on
any animal without anesthetlcs. We
ask that cruelty is obviated in all in
stances of this kind. We have heard
of cases of Vivisection where the, ami
mails suffered e%Xcruciating pain until
they died. and any woman would rise
in horror against such a practise.
. Time For Action.
1T is certainly necessary that The
clubrwomen of Newark take a stand
in this matter at once"
Mrs. David II. Howell, wife of Judge
Howell of the First Precinct Court, Is
indignant at the practise.
Some of these men who insist on
vivisection should have it, tried on
y themselves 3 she. said >today. "Especial-
nNdo 1 disapprove OF ;havingedngs vivi--
n e<ted. Any movement-that may be
m hted in favor of this bill will GER
! taihly be supported by me"
r. viii Assist Heartily,
Indeed, if there is, such a thing. as
cruel vivisection I shall most heartily
assist in any movement against it,"
said Mrs. Henry A. Haussling, presi-
dent of the Sesame Club.
Miss Annie Tichenor, of the Phil
itsciponia. Club, said that she had not
taken the matter up with her, club,
but. would at the next meeting. and ex-
pressed her willingness TO support the
movement.
If the Federation of Clubs takes the
matter. up the bill will be supported by
1900 club m and this will UNI
doubtedly have some weight with the
legislators.

the recent orderly and impressive suf-

demonstration was a comparative fall
ure and calculated rather to injure
than advance the cause it intended to
serve. Nothing like the number OF
suffragettes anticipated appeared on

behind at CaxtBn Hall, reserving them
selves, as they now explain, for an
other projected invasion of parlia-
ment on Thursday.
Skirnish With Police.
The police, mounted and on foot,
were in strong force in the vicinity OF
parliament and for two or three hours
that neighborhood was the scene of
riots and skirmishes through the ef-
forts of the suffragettes to break
through the Gordon and reach the lob
by of the house committee. Numerous
ruses and DISCUSSES were employed for
this purpose, but none nucceeded and
in the end 20 of the women were ar
rested, including two bold spirits who
drove in a cab to Downing street and
threw stones and smashed windows
of the premiers residence, and 9th
srs who chartered boats on the
Thames and tried to harangue the
members of the house on the terrace
through megaphones.
Mrs. Acquith and her daughter
watched the scenes from the balcony

enacted. but 1t is estimated that not
more than per cent of those gathered
