I have had mysjf many striking proofs of Mr. C- Cot/ regard in the way of cuts fl-om his rattan. Why, he kept a regular assort ment of thebi, and it was his daily- custom to go through the different school-Vooins t’d see whether there weffc any boys to be whipped, and t have never heard of his passing anv. lie was impartial in his attentions jnid seemed to think it a part of his dutv to make the boys learn their lessons, and 1 judge the parents must have approv ed of his system, for his school was largely patronized and attended by the soils of the best families on the coast. KVfrry school that I have attended sceoted to look kpon the rod as orte of the reads to learning or at least Os one of the sign-posts upon- the road. And I have no doubt if the history of any of the, schools distinguished "for their j-ojkicncy of the pupil;you wilTfliHl "thiit the rod played, a prominent part. Now, I want It ntstinclly understood that whilst I am advocating the use of a switch or rattaiv in the SQhool-room. I think it ought to be with dftcvetioii and^as little as will enforce the dis- cipiiiie or enforce the obedience of thb { upil. I am no adyocate for cruelty; t is averse to disposition; and it fs disagreeable^} the. in the exercise of my professional duties, to inflict un necessary pain upon any one; still, if it is requisite I restrain "my own feel ings and am actuated only for the good of patients. I can’t conceive of ,any schoolmaster, simply for the gratiffei- tion of his own private prejudice, in flicting an unmer'eithi flogging upon rt poor wayward boy, whose greatest ciline has probably" hfeeu dullness or neglect or tome mischief, such as all boys will be guilty of, at least all the boys I have kndwn. If, however, a , boy has been informed that if he is deficient in his le&sons hr misbehaves, that he will receive the penalty, viz., a flogging, and he stiil persists and takes the chances, then 1 think he deserves the whipping and ought to have it. And just here I think parents are th blame if the schoolmaster is not sus tained in the enforcement of his dis- 'ck>liiie ana in the teaching of the? les sons. If the parent would make the child understand that his lessons are to be learned and ihat he is to obev the teacher, there would not be half the trouble to the teacher, and the pupil could not entertain the lingering hope that he will be sustained at home, and so determine to run the risk. In con nection with this matter I will s.iy, par paren&heiia, that in those States where corporal punishment is abolish ed capital punishment is abolished also. And in those States the marriage relation is but a loose bond, fpr divorces are facilitated and all the cqn- commitauts ot that state of society flourish and are in full vigor. What connection there is between the (wo I don’t know, but it looks very much as if the old adage, “Train the child !b the way he shduld go and he will not depart therefrom”, still holds good. I would also say that itis a fact in point of law that the teacher stands in loco pa rentis, and a boy who is not too large to be whipped at Honic 14 not too large tojbfe whipped at school. 1 have been induced to write fins, Mejsrs. Edito'-s, and it. is tny candid opinion that yoltr editorial was hvju- cUcioift at least if not ill-advised, find When you publish a private letter front Ridgeway, not intended for publica tion, harping on the same subject, I really hoped that some better fitted person would have undertaken the task of answering the objections: but as the spirit has moved me, and I am deeply interested in the matter of education, I have attempted to set forth my views, with the hope that the effort will at least cause parents to re flect and not sacrifice education, the best gift they can make their children; to a sentiment which is uusilstained by precedents, either of ancient Or modern times. k. b. h.

Editors’: An editorial ap peared in ydur paper some time since in which The use of the j>ii’ch in public schools was deprecated. The writer gave it as his opinion, both as editor and tYom his experience 03 a school master, that ihe use of the rod was un necessary and df$ iwt tend in any way td increase the efficiency of the dis cipline, nor add to the diligence of tlie pupil. * He quoted the New York schools as an example, whore the plan to being carried Out, bat he did not say what had been the result.
