BEAT BOY WITH RUBBER HOSE
SUPREME COURT MAY DECIDE
SCHOOL WHIPPING CASE.
lola Citizens Took sides and contro-
Versy Over Punishment is
Already in Court.

lola, Kansas.-Is it brutal and in
of rubber hose and must such an in
strument Of punishment be abolished
in the public schools of Kansas?
That is a question that has wrought
a marked division of sentiment in
lola and one that, in all probability,
is on its way to the supreme court.
Thirteen-year-old Everett Urict
started all the trouble. AT school a
few days ago Everett failed to OBJ
serve the rules of decorum estab-
lished to govern the pupils while
forming in line to march into the
Washington school building where
Frederick c. Walters is principal.
The boy began to scuffle with a COM
panion and Prof. Walters called him
out of the line to receive punishment.
You lick me and my father will
come down here and lick the dick
ems out of you," Everett yelled de-
family
The bluff failed to work and Prof
Walters started to administer cor
poral punishment. Everett fought
back and that did not tend to calm
the irate pedagogue so as soon as
he could procure the rubber hose
with which whippings are admins
tered in lola schools, he gave the boy
a sound beating. Then the case got
into court.
Leading the boy to the office of the
county attorney, the father swore out
complaint for the arrest of Prof
Walters on a charge of assault and
battery.
"The most damaging evidence in
troduced came from Prof Walters
himself" Justice Duncan says in a
statement issued to the public, "the
instrument used to punish the boy.
This article was piece of half-inch
gas hose about three feet long, with
one end doubled back on itself for a
handle and with some 10 or 1S inches
of lash with which to beat the
victim"
