COVe Is the Riobt Of tbe CransqressOr.

the educator consisted in corporal
punishment. Whom the teacher
loveth, he chastiseth, was the sum
Of pedagoglc wisdom. derived. in
deed from the bible. and translated into
practice on the basis OF the divine au-
thority OF the book From such an axiom
It was clear that the measure OF chastise-
ment was the measure Of love. For loves
sake let not the measure be too small Here
the old rule was valid: The more the better
Thus punishment was based upon the
teachers duty 20 love the child. Originally
this theory was seriously and honorably
held. There was az that time a living faith
in both the atoning and improving virtue
OF bodily pain.
Faith in the saving power OF such punish

Of civilization. IS waning everywhere in
our western world. In spite OF all the

who gratefully attribute their law abiding

teachers dealt them. the fact stiu remains

There IS no such distinction between those

GRAND IHEATER AND ITS PLEASING SHOW
The James Post company is What Phoenix People Have Been
 Yearning For.

Two more performances of The Walking Delegate were given last night at the Grand theater by the James Post company. Neither house was crowded Ike the first night when a feverish cur iosity possessed the public, but both houses were good. the first one par ticularly so. And it is not idle press talk to say that the efforts of the company are appreciated But it's evil dent already that bills of the sort that make up the Post repertoire are too comprehensive for doubler performance arrangements. Better one good long bill, with all its novel feature, than two of them crowded to meet condi- tions, even if the cost is a little more. for one can get the five and ten cent variety of show almost anywhere The management appreciates that fact and beginning next Sunday night will pre- sent but one performance each even ing, but that one entertainment will last from two to two and a hal: hours and will be one of the highest order.
 The company is not of the two show sort. It comes to Phoenix with a repu- tation on the coast of being in a class by itself and if all its work is like the samples shown to date it will surely measure up. It is just what 1t claims to be. a good musical comedy com pany where harmonious music, fem inie beauty. stunning wardrobes and rich clean comedy are combined in the most pleasing manner for the enter tainment of those who seek diversion.
 Jim Post is an Irish comedian of rare attainments. He mixes the ludi-
