THE WHIPPING POST

prone to cultivate a hardened reck-

regard of law and life.
In her lone maintenance Of this
uncivilized custom, surely Della

centage Of crime. The criminal
courts are crowded; the post finds

the citizen guards his windows and
doors with quite as keen vigilance
as does his Pennsylvania or Mary
land neighbor. Yet unlike his
neighbor Of either state, he bears
the wondering inquiry and the
shocked condemnation of his whole
nation.
The stigma Of the whipping post
rests not on the unhappy victim of
it's castigation; it brands the honest
citizen as the one who has permit

Newark post., 1915-02-03

During the past week a bill to
abolish the whipping post from
Delaware has been introduced in
both houses of the Legislature.
Unless the citizens Of the State
express their sentiment strongly in
favor Of the passage of the bill at
this time the matter will be allow
to to fall through, and the most
d,Sgraceful and barbarous blot on
the name of our State will continue
in force. The duty of good citi-
zouship demands a vigorous pro-
test on the part of every citizen
against the continuance of this de-
basing custom, which is a relic Of
antiquity at best, and a cause
rather than a cure or preventer Of
confirmed criminality.
Delaware stands today alone in
the maintenance Of the whipping
post as a punishment for misde-
mrmor Gradually and surely
with the development of higher
and better civilization each Of the
other states of the union has abol-
iSuod this means of penalizing the
wrong-doer. In doing so they have
acted on the realization of three
things:
First, that the law permitting
the use of the whipping post is
based on the ancient principle of
revenge, the theory Of "an eye for
an eye and a tooth for a tooth, -
on punishment to repay, rather
than on the principle of punish
mnnt for the accomplishment OF
the wrong-doer's repentance and
future right living.
Secondly, that the whipping
post defeats its end, arousing a de-
sire for revenge and the resentful
fury Of the brute, rather than pen
ltonce and a desire to reform.
And thirdly, that the use of the
Whipping post does not in any way

SAVINGS OF
SCHOOLCHILDREN
Idea Brought From Belgium

A million and a quarter dollars
is on deposit in scnool savings
banks in the United States, accord
ing to a bulletin just issued by the
Bureau Of Education. This money
is distributed among 217,OO0 pupils
who hereby learn lessons Of thrift
for use in later life.
Belgium has the honor of origin
ating the school savings bank sys-
tenn, according to the bulletin.
Prof. Laurent, Of Ghent, in 1873,
began the work among school child
rem "for amelioriation of poverty
and the improvement Of individual
and national life" His work soon
attracted the attention of the lead
ers Of education in other countries.
A native of Belgium, John Henry
Thirty, put the school savings banks
on a permanent footing in the
United States. Mr.. Thirty estab-
lished banks in Long Island City,
n. Y, and the New York Schools,
under Superintendent Maxwell,
have been among the most success
full advocates Of the system. Mr..
Thiry's efforts in behalf Of school
savings banks have been continued
since his death, in 1911, by Mrs.
Sara Louisa Oberholtzer, of Phila-
delphia, who was aided in the COM
pilation Of the bureaus bulletin on
the subject.
Several methods in vogue for col
Letting and banking the savings of
the children are described. Usual
ly the cooperation of well-estab-
lished savings bank in tn eschool
community is first secured. Forms
and blanks are provided by the
banks. When the amount reaches
one dollar, the child is given
handbook and becomes, through
the school, regular patron of the
bank. When the deposit reaches
50 or 50 (as the banks elect) it
draws interest at 3 or more per
cent.
Among the cities where the school
savoings banks have done notable
work are Pittsburgh, where over
100000 has been deposited since
the introduction of the system.
Chester, Pa, has now on deposit
over $4,000, Toledo, Ohio, estab-
lished the system in 1911, and has
deposited since then over $252, 900, /.
with $4,000 reported as still on
deposit. Atlantic City has on de-
posit over 1873, 1000. Pupils in Grand .
Rapids, Michigan, deposited $75,
900 in the several years since es-
tablishing the bank and have
drawn out i'll that time only $40, !
900.
The bulletin suggests that there
can be stimulating relation be-
tween the United States postal
savings system and the school saw
ings banks. The postal savings
banks receive deposits from all
over 10 years of age. "Children
who have spent their pennies and .
nickles in candy shops and ppOv-
ing picture shows until they are 10
years Old" declares the bulletin,
care not likely to hold their cards
until they accumulate the 81, to be
exchanged for a certificate Of de-
posit School savings banks are
needed to prepare young people to
profit by the postal savings
banks. "
