tuition

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Oct. 81
Two schools in this city where ais

the instructors strength OF arm have
been transformed by means OF an
electric "spanker" into institutions
of learning with the best average de-
pertinent of all the schools In the
city, according to Supt. Wilson Nj.
Foulke.
Both schools, known for years az
unruly, had exhausted the patience OF
the school board. A day or so after
the school season opened a carpenter
and an electrician appeared at one OF
the schools and began the installation
of q "spanker" in a small ante-room.
AS the "spanker" gradually assumed
shape and the electric connections
were made the unruly pupils began
to ask questions. and finally they were
given q demonstration Of Its ability
to administer punishment.
The "spankcr' delivers abov' fivo
short, sharp blows second. After
several Of the boys had become sub
jects of q test of the "spanker' they
had some stories to tell OF its punish
ing powers.
Immediately the "spanker" was
completed In one school 1t was In
stalled in the other institution. Ac-
cording TO Supt Foulke, since tho
"persuaders" have been installed and
their abilities become known not ono
unruly pupil can be found In either
school.
