that together with the transferring of
Mrs. johnson from the Cooke School,
a letter should be sent to her by the
president of this board, reprimanding
her for her actions and that this report
be made a matter of record of this
meeting"
Mrs. johnson, the board was advised,
was transferred from the Cooke to the
new John Quincy Adams School, shortly
after Comdr. Goods complaint had
been received by Dr. Ballou. The
Adams School is the finest and most
deliberately equipped elementary school
in the District.
Commenting upon the incident today,
Comdr. and Mrs. Good told The Star
that the wounds which were inflicted on
their sons hand by the ink-stained
pen point caused severe swelling for
several days and required the attention
of two physicians in an effort to pre-
vent serious consequences from develop
ing. They said that while their friends
had advised them to prosecute the
teacher with view to having her dis
missed from the system, they were salts
fled with the action taken by the board,
since their sole motive is to prevent a
reoccurrence of the punishment given
their child to any other pupil. They
added that their son has attended school
under stern French brothers in China
and in similar institutions of learning
in other countries and cities and never
before has the boy been in any trouble.
Objects to Reprimand.
When the School Board undertook
to vote on its committees recon-
mendation late yesterday Mr.. Gilligan
acquiesced in the report, with the ex-
ception Of the suggestion that letter
OF reprimand be sent to Mrs. Johnson
He contended that the teacher had suf-
fered enough mental anguish" and
that the publicity which he expected
would be given the incident would in
itself be sufficient punishment DR..
Charles F. Carusi, president of the
board, however, declared that, in his
opinion, Mrs. johnson was being dealt
with very "mercifully"; that her act was
one of seriousness which conceivably
afforded narrow escape from critical
consequences. and that, so far as he
was concerned, any repetition Of this
act by Mrs. johnson or any other
teacher would merit immediate dismissal
OF the guilty teacher from the service.
When advised today of the statement
made by the parents of the boy to a
reporter for The Star, Mrs. johnson
announced from her class room in the
Adams Building that she did not wish
to talk for publication.

JABBING BOYS HAND WITH PEN
BRINGS TEACHER REPRIMAND
Board of Education Takes
Action Against Mrs.
LaSkey Johnson.
Committee on Complaints
and Appeals Recon-
mendS Measure.
Jabbing 1O-year-old boys hand with

Jabbing 10-year- boys hand with
pen point as punishment for mat
tention in class brought public re-
primand by the Board of Education
upon Mrs. LaSkey johnson, a fifth
grade teacher at the Henry B. Cooke
School at the board meeting late
yesterday.
The reprimand for Mrs. johnson
was forthcoming when the board
adopted the recommendation of its
committee on complaints and appeals
In connection with the corporal punish
ment inflicted more than a month ago
upon Edward Good, 10-year-old son of
Lieut.. Comdr. Howard H. Good, u S. N,
and Mrs. Good Of the Harvard Hall
Apartments, 1850 Harvard street.
The nature of the punishment which
Mrs. johnson melted out to the Good
boy was not made known at yesterdays
open meeting of the Board of Educa-
ton. but Comdr. and Mrs. Good ex-
planned today that the teacher seized
writing pen with which the boy had
been toying during recitation and
jabbed it into the flesh on the front
and back of the child's hand several
times with sufficient force to draw
blood. The parents of the boy re-
ported the incident to DR.. F. w.
Ballou, superintendent of schools, i'm
mediately and left the matter of rebuke
of the teacher in the hands of the Of
flcials. Meanwhile, they withdrew their
son from the Cooke School and placed
him in the Sacred Heart Academy
near there home, where they said today
he will remain for the rest of the cur
rent school year.
Committee Reviewed Charge.
The decision of the board to repri-
mand Mrs. johnson, who had been
found guilty Of violating a specific rule
of the Board of Education which for
bids the infection of corporal punish
ment by teacher upon any pupil was
based on the recommendation made by
the complaint and appeals committee
OF which DR.. j. Hayden johnson is
chairman. The committee conducted
hearing at which Mrs. Phillip s.
Smith, DR.. Abram Simon, Rev. F. I. A.
Bennett, and Henry Gilligan, all mem
berS OF the board: DR.. Ballou, superin-
tendent of schools; Stephen E. Kramer,
first assistant superintendent in charge
of high schools, and Robert L. Haycock.
assistant superintendent in charge of
elementary schools. The formal report
of the hearing which was presented at
yesterdays meeting, set forth that:
1T was brought out in the meeting
by Comdr. Good. and readily admitted
by Mrs. Johnson, that the pupil had
been punished by the teacher in a
manner which might have had serious
results, because the pupil was inatten-
tive in class.
After fully going into the case, the
committee is of the opinion, which
was concurred in by majority of those
present, that the practice of infiicting
corporal punishment in the schools, and
in particular the method used by this
teacher, cannot be too severely con-
demned by this board and all such
cases will be promptly and vigorously
handled.
THE committee is also of the opinion

Tell Senators New Proposal
on Placing kindergarten
Teachers Is UnSound.
SYSTEM WOULD DELAY
HIRING NEW GRADUATES
Mrs. Doyle and Gilligan Ask Sub
committee to Restore Old
Phrasing in Measure.

Although the Board of Education as
q board did not take up with the Senate
subcommittee in charge of the District
appropriation bill the new policy adopt
ed by the House this year with regard
to kindergarten teachers, two members
of the school board appeared individ-
ually to appeal to the Senators 10 Ie-
store the kindergarten teacher item to
its original terms, it was disclosed in
the hearings made public today. The
House provision was that as teacher
vacancies occur during the next fiscal
year in the first four grades OF the ele-
mentary schools they would have to be
filled by assigning teachers now IN the
kindergartens rather than by making
new appointments.
Mrs Henry Grattan Doyle and Henry
Gilligan, members of the school board,
opposed the House amendment before
the Senate subcommittee. Mrs. Doyle
described the House amendment with
regard to the kindergarten policy as
. backward step. She said eft is edu-
cationally unsound" and "penny-wise
economy" MFR. Gilligan told the SEN
stors that under the House amendment
70 kindergarten teachers would have to
be given positions before any of those
who are graduating this year from the
normal school are appointed.
