Teachers here have come
around to a disciplinary view
point that has been enthusiast
tically favored by generations Of
school youngsters.
The unsllakable conviction
held by students that classroom
padding is in the worst taste is
now accepted by educators in
the Washington area school sys-
tenn, who instead employ more
devious means for keeping the
peace.
The question Of corporal pun
ishment versus the psychological
approach was revised again this
week in New York. A cathedral
choir school headmaster drew
national attention by announc-
ing that padding was being
used to maintain discipline. The
system was promptly quashed by
the Episcopal Bishop there.
In the District public school
system. padding is forbidden,
Arlington also bans this method
Of discipline. Virginia does not
but discourages it.
FrOwned on in Maryland.
Most local school systems IN
Maryland froWn upon corporal
punishment although it is not
forbidden in the State
The Right Rev. Angus Dun,
Episcopal Bishop of Washing
ton, said that only in the fam
lily is there a place for coca
sional physical punishment"
He added:
Il would question very much
whether or not the relationship
between the choir leader and the
boys was sufficiently deep-going
to absorb the impact of that
method.
Directors of private schools IN
the area generally were agreed
that corporal punishment had
justly passed away with the
years since the time of the little
one-room red schoolhouse Most
felt it should be strictly family
affair.
Comments by Others.
Here art some of their COM
ments on the subject:
Mrs. Malcolm DeverS, Con-
gressional SCHOOL, do think
that some progressive schools
and homes, have gone too far in
allowing the child to decide what
is good for himself. Discipline
here is based on the individual
child"
She added that. in some cases
a talking-to in front of the other
children is too severe a method
while in others withdrawing a
privilege is the correct course.

District 10 Ask
10 Collect
Parking Fines
Hopes to Take In
Extra $500, 900
In Penalties

The Commissioners have de-
cided to ask Congress for a new
system of collecting on parking
tickets.
It is to become effective on
April l under plans recon-
mended by District government
reorganizers and approved by
the city heads. In the last three
months of the present fiscal
year, the setup, which includes
a central violations bureau in
Municipal Court and a central
driver file in the Traffic Depart
ment, is expected to realize
$175,000 in increased revenues.
For fiscal 1855, the new sys-
tenn would garner 100000 in
additional penalties collected by
the city. More than half that
sum would come from a back
log of parking tickets handed
out, but diSregarded in the past
year by illegal parkerS.
Adds 16 employees.
The program would cost $34,-
600 between April 1-July l. For
all of fiscal 1855 the cost, would
be more than $4,000 Aside
from routine administrative ex-
penSes. IS new employees would
have to be hired for the court
operation and the present eight
member staff handling traffic
records in the Traffic Depart
ment would be increased by, one
member.
Under plans approved by the
Commissioners Yesterday Con-
gress would be asked to approve
expenditures of existing funds
in the Metropolitan Police and
Traffic Departments for the prof.
ect through next June A sup
Elemental appropriation to keep
the program going in fiscal 1855
would have to be fled.
The District Management Of
flee estimated that as many as
so man-years of policemen's
time would be freed from clerical
duty to perform law enforce
ment. rather than clerical. work
under the proposed program.
100000 From Backlog.
The parking ticket backlog ex-
pected to produce 100000 be-
tween April 1-July l mainly rep
resents out-of town parking vio-
lators who have ignored parking
tickets in the past year.
The streamlining of the pro-
posed plan not only is designed
to simplify enforcement by means
of a parking ticket printed form
that will serve as an official court
paper, but will obviate the pres
ent requirement for such Offend
ers to check in with police pre-
cincts to be booked like common
criminals. according to the man
agement Office.
Violators would be permitted,
in cases where they do not con-
test the charges, to mail in
their collateral payments. Those
who fail to respound would be
faced with a more thorough war
rant service system whether they
reside in the District or in the
States.
The driver file in the Traffic
Department would be a focal
point for assembling traffic rec
ords of drivers apprehended on
parking or moving violation
charges.

ACCIDENTS GREATEST CAUSE OF DEATH IM 1o52 IN TERRITORY

Juneau-Accidents and heart disease took more lives in Alaska in 1853 than any other cause, ac- cording to figures recently com pied by the Bureau of Vital Sta tistics in the Alaska Department of Health.
 Per 100000 persons, the death rate from accidents was 122.9 while the heart disease rate was l22.4 in Alaska last year. These entrusted with stateside figures where death rate from accidents was eos per 100000 persons, or less than half of Alaska's rate. The stateside heart disease rate, however, was 357.6, or nearly three times as high as in Alaska. These rates conform with Alas ka's young population" where of approximately 205,000 persons, only some 5,650 are over GA years of age, according to F. E. Hester, vital statistics bureau director.
 Tuberculosis dropped to fourth place as cause of death in Alaska in 1853 with a rate of 60,5 per sons per 100000 population. This is nearly five times as high as the stateside rate which was 12.5 1T 1853
 The third highest cause of deatf in Alaska last year was congenlt' ] al malformations and diseases
