In Interesting and Instructive Paper lier.d Before the Teachers et Their Last Meeting hy Prof. II. L. Scnife. In certain Europium countries, as well s iuficiueof our own Slates, 11 strictim.s avo been priced ou corporal puluI.lent, but generaly it U lo ?ketl upon as necessary evil ami lolt to the discretion f the teacher. In Norway it is allowd only tiller consultation with the chool authorities, and i.i tha presence f one of Hit in ; in Denmark, four irokts witli the ruler is the limit prectibed bylaw; in tieruiuiy, though not rolnbited, it is .seldom employed, tor xtreme cases are met ami dealt with by he civil authorities. In tiie common Via .v of England, rhieh is p.ut of the law of our own ountry, the teacher stands in loco p.ientis, and has the light to inflict cororal punishment. in the maintenance f discipline and in compelling obeience to lawful iemulations; IMackstoue ites a case where tiie schoolmaster ampul on the pupil's stomach so that In sufferer died, and the law Le d that e was guilty of murder. IJut in a late rise in England it was ihcide l that ,*liere i schoolmaster obtained the past it's consent to beat a boy severely to iibdue alleged obstinacy, and the teachr secretly, iti the night, boat the bay nth a stiek two hours and a half until he pupil died, the teacher was only uilty of manslaughter, no'malice bsitu ' oved. This was tlnr celebrated IIopsy cose, iu which tho defendant was mtenced to four y ears penal servitude.

The pupil is enitled to know for wli it definite offense e is l>eing puuished, and the rules inracted must be reasonable. It has been eld that a pup 1 voluntarily attending jhool after liis majority is under the line restrictions and liabilities as it' ,'lthtn the school age. Iu inflicting corporal puyishmeut the iw presumes that the teacher h is acte.l orrectly, and to rebut tin charge of ralice he may show that the instrument sed was similar to that usually emloyed iu the vicinity.

In New Jevs y corporal punishment is nrhidden by St.it u'o, an 1 t ie laws of lliuois, Kansas, Mississippi, M n?ta:?a, 'ennsylvani?, South Dakota, W.ishin*an and West Virgl.oii prescribe a spailic penalty for ex vss amounting to ruelty.
