Why all this rAcket about hiipping bad boys ? Tho doctor throws down tho chal longo and says the rod 'n the Scrip tures merely means government, and that the very moment that you dele gate to a toacher the-right to whip a child you fling an lusult in the face of God. Well, it everybody who knows Dr. Holderby dident love him they would smile at such ridiculous asser tions. Ue could hardly find another Biblical scholar but who would say that the rod in tho Scrinture means a good old-fashioned licki'ng, and it is to be remarked that whenever it is used it Is in the masculine gender. "Correct thy son and he shali give thee rest." " Beat him with the rod and save his soul." " lie that spareth the rod hateth his son," etc., etc. The girls dident need it then and they do not now. They are all mild-eyed Jor seys, except some. Dr. Holderby declares that whipping a boy injures his social standing and takes away his self respect. Maybe that is what's the matter with me, and is the reason why I am so meek and subdued. Maybe I was whipoed too much. I had a light one Sunday with a boy at camp meeting, and he whipped mc and muddled my Sunday clothes and gouged the skin otf my face. Next morning my father wbipped me for fighting and when I went to school the teacher got ready to whip me, but I showed him my legs and he let me off. Good gracious ! what a proud, self re specting man I would have been if it had not been for good old John Norton and Dr. I l'atterson. You see, I was not a preacher's son. l3ut, seriously, I know parents who would rather tile teacher would pun ish their bad boys than to tackle tnem at home. The school Is their reforma tory, and with smc mothers it is the nursery. Then, again, there are par enti who think the teacher ought to whip other people's children but never touch their own. There are lots of these, especially mothers. The teach ers have a hard time steering between the breakers, anul I am sorry for them, but I have never known a single case where the bad boy got more then he deserved. Long experience has proved that corporal punishment is best for bad men as well as for bad boys. Crime has rapidly iiecreased all over the land under the new regime. The average of boys are much worse than they were - fifty years ago. They grow up to till our prisons anti chaingadigs, and fiil the daily papers with murders and suicides and crimes of every description. The Atlanta cry is now for a reformatory. Maryland has never abolished the whipping post and not a burglary or hank robbery is committed there for the punishment is the lash once a week for succcssive weeks as the stripes are healed. They cant stand that. Before the civil war the lash was the only punishment for tne negroee, and there was not a heinous crime committed by them from ti'e Potomac to the I t*o Grvande. But nowv there are 21,000 in the cha ngangs of tile Siuthern States. Whipping hurts, I tell you it does, and i-, long remembered. ir.
