CORPORAL PUNISHMENT
seclusion of meeting rooms education boards issue instruc‘Don’t use the strap.” No teacher likes using punishments. The object is silence while pupils are concentrating. The amount of corporal punishment is proportional to the size of the class. One teacher to each pupil means no corporal punishment. Dr. Bewm-Brown at the New Education Fellowship meeting said, "Too often a symptom was treated with punishment without investigation of the disease.” With more than 50 pupils under conditions that do not comply with factory acts for space and heating, laughing and talking occur. Why not allow talking in the Public Library and Law Court? Let us have something more constructive than regulations which insult the intelligence of the teacher, who does not believe in punishment anyway. Corporal punishment is a sympton of a diseaseovercrowded classes. Abolish compulsory attendances in classes bigger than 30.—Yours, etc., FIFTEEN YEARS TEACHING. June 7. 1946.
