Corporeal Punishment.
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.

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

chid run arc properly governed at

Too many parents sent1 their children
to school for discipline which should
have |>egun in the cradle.
"j. offer these few thoughts, Mr. Ed- ,
itor, hoping to draw out the opinions ;
of older and wiser beads. Axox. 1

A Query Uox will be placed on the
Pr^^jtjeni's desk in which all ques

that the meeting will be large. Let
our teachers take an interest in such
matters. We never can rise m pflr
profession unless we ?<tudy. Progress
|a the watchword of the age.
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
