ishment to take place in his school The
report recommended fine OF fifteen
days pay.
Along with the report were letters from
the teachers praising the principal. He
has few equals and no superiors." one
of his admirers wrote.
The corporal punishment was explained
this way: One Sadie Cohen violated "a
school rule and Principal Reardon sent
for Simon Cohen, the father, and told him
to bring his strap along. He came with
a big strap and in the principals office
he took his daughter Sadie across his knee
and applied the strap so vigorously that
the whole school was upset by the girls
with comfort for several days.
Mr.. Metz got un when this renort was
read TO tho board and read a paper which
he ssid was an affidavit made by Simon
Cohen declaring that he had not gone tc

Jack johnson visited the German Hospital

pictures of Charlie they suggested that
the champion sit down and have an X-ray

ness OF his skull.
johnson accepted and the result showed
that it required five and a half minutes
for the rays to penetrate. thus proving
that the champion has a skull ranging
from one-half to three quarters OF an
inch. which is more massive than the
skull Of Texas steer.

for the rays to penetrate Johnson's skull
they go through an ordinary human head
in from five to fifteen seconds.
The result of the X-ray exposure amazed
all the medical experts at the German
Hospital. All declared that johnson q
