This from the Montgomery Ad
Tertiaers editorial page:
. So.e of the, brethren are dia.
massing the aobjeet oi whipping
children at school, and ; atwally
t&ere are a variety of opioicmaon
mark, to quote ta own language, haa
u 'ifggested a step which should solve
the question pretty satisfactorily in
the publio schools. There should
be a regulation requiring teachers to
honor the written request of a parent
that the writer's child be not whip
ped, but be sent h6me f for punish
ment when whipping would seem to
be needed. It should be understood
that if a child thus exempt from phy
sical punishment does not become
tractable after being S3nt home for
discipline, the child must withdraw !
from the school." I
"The Richmond Journal man calls
to miud some experiences of his
youthful days, and declares that
there was never a time in his school
days. when such a request from a
parent would have halted the teach
er's switching operations, but adds.
"We understand that a . rule or
custom in the Richmond sehools is
to allow a parent to appeal at school
to administer a whipping to liis re
fractory child in the presence of the
teacher. This is not done in all
cases, but is a procedure that is fol
lowed occasionally."
"If a pupil ia a kind of boy ? who
really deserves punishment, would
barring him from school - have anv
good results? If he is a bad youth
on whom moral suasion has ho effect
expelling him from school would
please him better than anif ' other
course, and the result would be that
he would grow up without education
and without discipline. That, it
seems to us, would be a natural re
sult, and it would not be best for the
boy himself."
Where does the parent come in?
Has the parents no rights when we
come to the question of "what is best
for the boy"?
Of course, if parentsiare unfit to
have control of their children, if par
are immonal or deranged, or, if the
children are admittedly incorrigible,
we hare special cases to deal with.
Requiring the State to assume spec
ial authority. But some ? citizens in
good standing; who -profess their
ability to attend to their own family
affairs, are not to be set aside in con
sidenng what is best for the boy.
Same parents are willing for their
boys to be corporally admonished in
school, admitted the need. Other
parents are not willing; and as a
matter of fact, we do not believe
that one person in a hundred ,ia fit
to entrust with arbitrary jower to
administer bodily chaatisemen to
other people's children. The Mont
gomery Advertiser itself, when it
carries its editorial into reminiscence
gives an example of the danger in
herent in such powerthis danger
that discipline will degenerate into
brutal tyranny:
"Among our readers tfiere ar no
doubt to be found some jvho attend
ed the 1 country or . village schools
-three-score or more H years ago. and
v who had- rot, then teachers men who
seemed to think that no boy could be
educated without a liberal amount of
thrasMng.Vv.' rf ; . .. ,
"This? writer served an "eight
'months ; terra in a .boy's, country
School in iiussell county in the ear
ly 40's, and if a single day passed
without at least one boy being whip
ped, we have no recollection of it
sometimes three or four caught it in
one day. The teacher was a fine
classical scholar and prepared a nam
v- her of y oUng men, for s College, -and
we nave;more than once v seen vbim
jwhip mtiwha01 easily , have
turned the tables oh him if they had
been bo disposed, but they submitted
y find may have been the - better for it
" for all we know. .
Tlns teacher was an extremist in
x his ideas of discipline. - We do not
l know iWhtheif he was naturally cruel
auu uvu-utsiuiuj , or wuetuer ne
really 'believed that the only 'way to
teach boTS and-to keep them under:
properdi8cipline was vrbya libera
use of the switch. , We onlv., know
that he. was a persistent and expert
; whipperp -and that j.. he frequently
i v jvhppe boys JEor :,the "moat- trivial
' . offenses of for the slightest infraction
of his' unwritten "TUles' IiigT idea
seemed to be that of the -boy- - Hd n't
need .the whipping when be received
it, he would need it later.1 : :
KThis man waa jin extremist--i
tyrant, for that matter. His system
was that of ' Drato, and we know
ttat Among .the. younger boys there
wre jbome.wno were Kept in sncn a
constant "state of Carrot an i dread
that they learned but ie-and
were whipped for not learmngl
Such a teacher could hardly praotice
his vocation in this day and should
not be allowed to teach at all." t
However, as the teacher was. all
right with thej exception of physical
tyranny, itrinot obvioas that his ar
bitrary power of castigation worked
to the injury of his pupils?
. The conclusion of the veteran
writer of the interesting editorial
from which we have quoted is that
"there are extremes both ways, and
that the teacher who canv find and
practice the happy medium is the
best one?' That may be true, "but
it does not answer the broader ques
tion al issue which is whether the
average teacher is better or worse
for being trusted with the power of
corporal, punishment.
The Virginia School Journal, pub
lished under the authority of the
Department of Public Instruction,
editorially agree s with The Land
mark that this power does, more
harm than good. Certainly the wish
es of respectable parents should be
respected as to corporal punishment,
and if this means that a few children
have to be expelled from schoolso
be it. Norfolk Landmark.
DESIRABLE COMMUNITIES.
We take our hat off to School
District No. 8, Grandtham township,
Wayne county. A few days asjo the
citizens voted on the question of a
special tar to maintain the schools
and the proposition carried unani
mously in favor of the tax. There
was not one dissenting vote. We
quite agree with the Mount Olive
Tribune when it makes this comment:
"This speaits well for the good
people of that section, for it is indeed
a rare case for an election of this na
ture to carry without one dissenting
vote. It shows their great interet
in securing better educational facili
ties and the result of Wednesday's
election will prore'a benediction and
blessing to tis and future genera
tions. The people of the district are
going to have a nice new school
building, and will eventually have
one of the best schools' in the State."
The election in Grantham town
ship clearly indicates the- public spir
it of the people and naturally it ra
dicates that the commonitv is
where a man need not fear to locate
with his family. We have known
people to moveaway from a com
munity because there was- no- school
for their children. They moved to
other communities where tie advan
tages were greater.
It is singular that people- in some
sections cannot realize the- imDor-
tance and advantages of sehools for
the enlightenment of then ehiidren,
but some communities would preter
to do without schools thaa to- levy
upon themselves- a tax fwr which
they get the benefit in the education
and uplift ot their children Yet k
Districts No8. 2 and in New Hope
township, Wayne- county on the
same Wednesday, the school tax
proposition was lest by large major
ities. 1 man intending te move io-
to Wayne county would go to Dit-
trict 13V. Grantham township- than
to take his family to the other;. two
districts. Wouldn't youS'.
Note, the impression -.whielxDis-
trict No. 8 makes inv contrast whh
the delinquent: 'districts. The peo
ple should make their communities
desirable unless they are content to
take a back seat and keep it. Wil.
