BIRCH BACK IN SCHOOL
Corporal Punishment Found
Necessary in London.
GBy Gable to The Tribune.

London, Nov. 1J.-Hoolig2nism is be-
coming prevalent in London again and
the County Council Education Commit
tee considers that in many instances 1t
is the outgrowth Of INSTRUMENTATION in
the elementary schools. Magistrates
having had to deal with youthful thugs
recently have commented from The
bench along these lines and the papers
have been full of letters on the subject
lately. so yesterday the London County
Council Education Committee unani-
mously voted to return to the use Of
the birch in elementary schools.
Children by this time have come TO
know that the cane is not an officially
acknowledged instrument Of education,
and young teachers especially have cx-
perienced great difficulty in maintain
ing good order. Sometimes dcprivl-
ton has been used TO form the needed
punishment and sometimes all the pu-
pills have been kept in. but neither uf
these seemed To work, so that a rcvCr-
sion TO the oldtime method Of corporal
punishment is now in effect. In future
when teacher sees a pupil acting
badly or becoming rebellious there is
every likelihood that the young scholar
will be corrected in sharp, summary
fashion.

SCANDAL AT GERMAN COURT
Prince and Princess Eager TO
Be Divorced.
TBy Cable to The Tribune.l

Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE "Kleines Jour
nal" has published the following piece
of gossip. which is creating no little
curiosity in Berlin: THE public is al
ready acquainted with the rumors
about some painful happenings at a
German imperial court. According to
this gossip, the wife of a well known
prince has suddenly left her residence
and gone 10 Paris overnight. She re-
turned to her husband soon after.
THE couple then expressed a desire
for a divorce, but the family's chief
vetoed this proposition and the whole
affair is in suspense.
we simply mention this incident as
a duty to our readers and because it
has been circulated in several versions.
What truth there is in the story will
soon be ascertained."
