with her clothing untidy.
Miss LeMoine admitted that she
introduced self.spanking as means
of punishment for minor offenses.
Several years ago. she said one OF the
teachers brought several Of the boy
orphans to be chastised. This was
Miss LeMoine's busy day. and she did
not have time TO spank them herself.
So she decided that they should spank
each other.
One by one the orphans turned each
other over barrel and administered
the punishment. II was all very well

sometime the wrong fellow got hold
