Here is charming description of cor.
poral Punishment as given in American
schools and prisons. It Is taken from
one OF the leading newspapers of Italy
and Will astonish some people here az
much as 1t probably astonished the

shackled to a bath In which there is a

made to lie down In the bathtub. In
the water is wire leading from one
pole of an electric battery. Another
wire leading from the other pole Is
placed In contact with sponge which
Is applied to the bare body of the pris-
oner. Each time It touches him he re-
eeives an electric shock that feels ex-

see whence the blows come, suffers all
