Recorder Nash Broyles is strongly
of the opinion that the day is not far
distant when corporal punishment for
children, both in the home and in
school, will be regarded as barbarous
and when the training and correction
Of youngsters will be accomplished
by precept and kind words.
The Recorder has closely studied
the question Of punishment for CHI
dren for their varied petty offenses
against the discipline of home, and
has we'll defined views on this sub
ject. He expressed these views We'd
nesday morning in an interview with
The Georgian, advancing opposition
TO the fiogging of children as a gen
eral proposition.
He referred to the rod as a relic
of barbarism," and said he hoped TO
see the time come in his own day
when in reality it would be a mere
relic in every sense of the word. He
added significantly, however, that this
time has not arrived. and that there
is yet place in modern, everyday
life for this little instrument, regard
ed by the offending juvenile as pes
tiferous weapon of oppression.
Rod Sometimes Necessary.
81 am in favor of the rod only in
cases of absolute necessity" said
Judge Broyles. This applies to use
in the home. / do not believe il
should be tolerated at all in our
schools.
There are some instances of in
fractions of home rules that demand
the rod. In such cases. it is not
amiss, and, l believe. tends to bet
terrnent of home government. But,
in my opinion a child should not be
thrashed until kindlier and more hui
name methods have been thoroughly
tested and have proved a failure.
IF an offending child can be cor
rected and shown the error of its way
without being whipped, it is much
better for both the child and the
parents. In many instances, the rod
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-10-29

serves only to terrify and COW the
child. and instill in 1t an unhealthy
fear of its parents. Correction throguh
love and kindness, / believe, is con-
ducive to a much better development
of the heart and disposition.
I'm my opinion, it is mistake to
permit corporal punishment in our
schools. The teacher has other means
by which she can correct child rath-
er than by the rod. l think far Sc
verer punishment is to keep the child
in the schoolroom during recess,
while the other children are out in
the fresh air romping and playing.
Cites Own Experience.
at least this is the way | felt
about it. when l was in school.
didn't mind a flogging near as much.
The teacher also can impose demer-
its for any infraction of rules, and
this is the mortal dread of the aver
age child because of the fear of the
consequences at home.
IF child becomes 50 disobedient
that a thra shing is the only thing that
will suffice, the punishment should be
placed in the hands of the parents.
l don't think the teacher should at
tempt to apply the rod. The teacher
could write note to the parents, ex-
planning the offense of the child and
recommending a whipping. If neces-
sary, a rule could be adopted sus-
pending the child until it is shown
that the whipping has been admins
tered.
1.-THE rod is nothing more than a
relic of barbarism >and is destined
finally to be hanished from our mod
ern life. / hope to see the time come
in my own day when it will not be
necessary to fog children, when their
plastic natures will yield to kindness,
love, and precept-the real humane
weapons of correction. / must admit
at the same time, however, that this
time is not yet here, and that the rod
still is found necessary in certain in
stances"

Very few people go through life

sands injure themselves by the use
of strong cathartics. salts, mineral
waters, pills and similar things.
They have temporary value in some
cases, it is true, but the good effect
is soon lost, and the more one takes
of them the less effective they be-

A physic or purgative is seldom
necessary, and much better and

elderly people who have suffered

MEXICAN. FUNDS LOW.
New Government Weak Because of
 Failure to Recognize It.

Mexico City. April 11.-That the withholding of official recognition by the United States has materially weakened the Huerta government is the opinion generally expressed by the public and privately admitted in cer- tain Mexican official circles.
 The new rebel movement has made greater progress than has the pro- visional government in opposing the insurgency and 1t is no longer secret that the condition of the treasury is such as will not permit much longer a continuation of military operations. This has been publicly admitted by the Mexican minister of the interior, Garcia Granados.
 7 The chamber of deputies has not approved the proposed foreign loan, but it's failure to take up this matter is said to be due to a desire to avoid further embarrassing the finance de- partment, which so far has been un- able to arrange for the fotation of the loan, notwithstanding recent assur- ances to that effect from London.

Washington, April 1.-The atten- tions of the state department which lately has been given to a, vexatious problem arising from the repeated wounding of American soldiers and other American citizens along the Mexican border. today was directed to the serious situation resulting from the staying of a petty officer and a sailor from the United States battle ship California at Guaymas.
 Chief of Police Did Shooting.
 Charles D. Taylor, consular agent at Guaymas, in reporting the deaths to the department, said a strict investiga- ton was being made. The shooting was done by the chief of police of Guaymas, and as American sailors go- ing ashore in a foreign country in- variably go unarmed, officials here will insist that the circumstances of the staying be probed to the bottom.
 Must Show Good Cause.
 If the Mexican authorities are un- able to show that there was provoca- tion for the attack by the armed police serious consequences may ensue. It was pointed out that the double killing might be taken as an indication of the inadequacy of the present government and have an influence when the United States gives further consideration to the question of the recognition of the Huerta government.

 Editorial writers comment upon this phase of the situation and there has been a propaganda in the local press tending to place responsibility for the fate of Mexico on the United States.
 Further complicating the financial difficulties harrasSing the government is the steady increase in the exchange rate, which within week has mount ed from practically parity to 22O, and that rate is only available to favored persons. In an effort to check the up- ward tendency of the exchange rate, the minister of finance is urging scon- gress to authorize a rate of 10 per cent. in the export tax on gold. This ton that even the national currency is no longer maintained on a gold basis.

At San Luis Potosi the smelters are running on half time, and at Aguas Calcientes to 9 third of their capacity. At Chihuahua and Matehuala the mills are running on full time.

 Sisters Speak Hopefully.
 Tine recovery of the pope from his relapse from the influence apparently is progressing rapidly. His sisters, speaking today with the parish priest with the Venetian pilgrims visiting the vatican, said the condition of the pontiff was now so satisfactory that it was possible within few days to receive some of the pilgrims from his native region. They declared it was the desire of their brother to do so, but that nevertheless his physicians were gently resisting such plan, wishing that tAeis patient have i'm munity from excitement in his period of Cenva1eScenee owing t6 the weak ened state of his constitution.

 The pilgrims arrived at the vatican led by the archbishops of their re- spective dioceses. They carried ban ners and wore the costumes peculiar to their localities. In the royal hall they were met by Cardinal Merry del Val, who was accompanied by Mgr. Canali, under papal secretary Of state; Mgr.
