PUNISHMENT
IN SCHOOLS.

teacher in one Of the public
schools in Norfolk was recently ar
raigned in the Police Court to answer
the charge of assault, is being al
legged he was unnecessarily cruel IN
inflicting corporal punishment upon
one of the pupils The affair has
brought out many opinions, some or
which uphold the teacher and others
the parents of the child.
Such cases are dreaded by school
boards and police courts. They are,
however. rare in Alexandria, and
only at long intervals have such cases
been considered by the committee or
complaints and grievances o. the
school beard or by the Police Court.
Martin Luther in his memoirs
says the schools in his days were
penitentiarics. and no doubt his OBJ
servations were in measure correct.
The same can be said concerning con-
ditions in English schools in by-gone
years. While there may be some
cXaggeration in the description OF
Dotheboy's Hall, under the regime of
Mr.. Squeers, there can be no doubt
that schools Of ether days both in
England and America were places
for which boys naturally had an alb
holrence.
Conditions. however, have changed
materially in this day, and cases or
corporal punishment are few and
sach only in desperate cases
School teachers, like others, have
their troubles. Refractory, and often
incorrigible, boys, who cannot be
controlled at their homes, add much
to the labors of patient pedagogues.
The latter wink at much in the in
terests of peace, naturally desiring
to avoid clashes with parents who,
too often, imagine their children are
right upon general principles, and
everybody else wrong. Teachers are
human, and sometimes they may act
upon the spur of the moment But
should not parents play their parts
and before placing their offspring in
the care of others see to it that
they themselves rule we'll their own
+ households?
\ writer in the Norfolk Firginian-
. Pilot. in referring to the trouble be-
! tween the teacher and the authori-
ties. says:

seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes OBJ
scures the substance. A searching in
vestigation into the needs OF the

The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful IN
fluences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy a commanding position IL pub

operation Of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
communities. Their work is to build

for his local paper, and no home

is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob

study the local problems and through
its columns deal with subjects of mos
vital Importance to local life of The
community.
