The fact that Mr.. Gerard wore the

rise to the impression that President

hidden uniforms for Ambassadors as
unsuitable for representatives for the

The absence of uniforms upon Mr.

serves only TO terrify and COW the
child and instill in It an unhealthy
fear of its parents. Correction throguh
love and kindness, I believe, is con-
ducive TO much better development
of the heart. and disposition.
In my opinion, it is a 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. I think a far Sc
yerer punishment is to keep the child
in the schoolroom during recess
while the other children are out in
the fresh air romping and playing

AT least. this is the way l felt

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 so disobedient
that thrashing 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 reces-
sary, q rule could be adopted sus-
pending the child until it is shown
that the whipping has been admins

relic of barbarisn and is destined
finally to be banished from our mod
ern life. l 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. I 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"

All C1ogged Up?
Here's Quick Relief
A Simple Remedy to Correct
Constipation Before 1t
Becomes Chronic.

Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thou
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-
come.
A physic or purgative is seldom
necessary, and much better and
more permanent results can be OBJ
tained by using a scientific rem
edy like DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin. 1t does not hide behind a high
sounding name, but is what 1t is
represented to be, mild laxative
medicine. 1t is so mild that thou
sands OF mothers give 1t to tiny in
fants, and vet 1t is so compounded,
and contains such definite ingre-
dents that it will have equally good
effect when used by a person suf-.
fering from the worst chronic con-
stipation. In fact among the great
est indorsers of Syrup Pepsin are
elderly people who have suffered
for years and found nothing to ben
eft them until they took Syrup

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

see the time come in his own day

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 a pes
tiferous weapon of oppression.
Rod Sometimes Necessary.
Il am in favor of the rod only in
cases of absolute necessity" said
Judge Broyles. This applies to use
in the home. I do not believe it
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 believe, tends to a bet
1erment of home government. But,
in my opinion, a child should not be
thrashed until kindlier and more hu-

tested and have proved a failure.
IF an offending child can be cor
re"ted aud shown the error of its way
without being whipped, it is much
better for both the child and the
