MOVING To END
SCHOOL. FLOGG|NG
StiGinofe Man Wants "1icI1cry'
Taken From School Ma'an,s
In Georgia Publ Schols

ATLANTA, Feb. 27.-Comine
quickly upon the announcement that
Governor hardwick had by executive
order abolished fogging in Georgia
camps, a new anti-whipping
agitation has sprung up. The re.
formers now want to take away from
Georgia school ma'ams the right to
WELD the hickory upon refractory
pupils.
This newest agitation against the
lash IN led by j. C. Saville, of Still
more' Ca, who has just written the
governor asking his cooperation in
the effort to end school whippings.
In his letter, Saville says:
y am delighted to know you have
decided to remove lashing from our
prison camps of Georgia.
There is another thing, as I see it,
that ought to be done away with. The
hickory in our public schools.
IF it is repugnant to the spirit Of
the Constitution of our great State
TO whip criminals who happen to vio.
late some rule Of the camps or pri-
son commission, it is not against the
spirit and repugnant to the spirit Of
the Constitution to whip the small
children in our schools who violate
some rule?
Il would appreciate very much a
view Of this from you at this 5in1a.'
Governor Hardwick was out Of
the city when Savill's letter was
made public bv his secretary last
night, and no comment thereon was
forthcoming. Other officials at the
capitol expressed the opinion that the
trainers Of the present constitution
did not look upon the education o.
youth as a crime; and the clause ii
the Constitution which brought
about the abolition of fogging in
prison camps deals with crime.
Incidentally there is a great deal
Of specplation about what's going to
be done to substitute something for
the discarded leather" in the pris-
on camps. All members Of the pris-
no commission are absent from the
city official business, and, while
the Governors order is in their Of
fec awaiting their return, no order
from the wardens and guards in the
State, who are supposed to have had
information from the newspapers
that the use of the lash has been
abolished. From the office o. the
commission though the intimation is
some form of substitute to enforce
discipline and viii offer that to
the Governor for APPROVAL and adop
tion in place of the old "rule12."
