THE HILLSBOROUGH SCHOOL.
A BOY STOOD OX HIS HEAD. RESULT OF THE ENQUIRY. The Education Board last night received the report of its committee, Messrs Wade and Trimble, upon the enquiry into the complaint of the Hillsborough School Committee that the teacher, Miss Stephen, had stood a boy on his head in the.corner as a punishment. The committee reported that the charge of having stood William Proud on his head was admitted by the teacher, who contended it was done more for a joke than a punishment. The evidence of the children showed that they looked on the matter rather as a joke than otherwise. The committee considered the teacher deserving of very grave censure, as if punishment were required there were recognised methods of inflicting it. The evidence called by the School Committee did not sustain the general charge, though the statements made by the children showed that corporal punishment was inflicted to a much greater extent than was anticipated by the Board's regulation (No. 4). The report was adopted, and it was resolved that a copy of the report be forwarded to Miss Stephen and also to the committee.
