HOLDS TEACHER MAY USE ROD

Kentucky Attorney General Finds
Legal Right for Punishment.
The controversy relating to the legal
right of the school teacher of the common
schools of Kentucky to whip a disorderly
pupil was ended when Attorney General
James Breathitt handed down an opinion
to State Superintendent of Public In
structior Crabbe in which it is held the
teacher is given the authority to whip
if it is necessary to maintain discipline.
A recent opinion of Judge William Car
roll of Newcastle, that the teacher had
no right to whip, has partly disorganized
the common schools and almost made it
necessary to close some of them.
