Mr. Editor: You have long had my syirpalhy in -your earnest ciies for help, und 1 would have responded earlier had 1 thought 1 could do justice to the great subject before us. | am intense- I ly interested in any thing concerning * education, having been "engaged in ' the work of teaching for several years. 1 have often wished I hp fraternity would discuss corporcn\ punishment through tho column,, and since no one has introduced it, 1 will make a feeble effoit' to sot iiio ball rolling. iii? e 11 'i ff?? _ I iS there not 3omp bettor plan? Arc we to whip other people's children Into obedience us we would a horse? How. can wp look into that child's ( clear cyps and not feel condemned? If wp even postponed punishment till n. cooler moment it would be better, i H't . . , . ?. . , put my experience is that we invaria ? biy use tliu rod while under the infhi . ence of etrong passion. The child 1 i'uows and feels this, and its reason ells it, Tor children do reason, that : wc arc* no better than it. To gain true obedience wo must lirst have |,|ie respect of our pupils, and that wc cannot expect if we yjeld to the weakness of anger ?lt every slight provocation. Wc may, by tjie rod. enforce 'obedience in our presence, but it is exceedingly painful to me to see a child dodge as though it expect ed the laah at even' slight error oi accident, when such accident ma) j have been caused, by ucvYpus fear. 1 I know there are isolated eases where i \ ? ? the use of the rod seems ncccssa*y, i - . ' - |mt in those 1 think it best to lean to the side of mercy. 1 know that I am i questioning n custom old as the Bible, but I think the day of indiscriminate ii > i i .. \ ? use of the tod in Schools is past. 1 f it i- ?:?.?:. .i would like to hint to purouty fhat ii chid run arc properly governed at home they will not need jt at school. Too many parents sent1 their children to school for discipline which should have |>egun in the cradle.

A college in England has establish ed, a factory, in which various me chanical appliances are to bo creeled, so that boys may be taught the prac tictial use of tools. This is right, and I jt would be well if all our colleg-s would ?discuss this point and decide with us. Nine-tenths, of the ypung mc.n who otcp, from the classic walls ai.d rostrum of their Alma Mater with the odor of a big commencement gas explosion still lingcing about ^heir broad cloth, haven't sense enough [o part the cows and calves, or drive the chickens to water.
