ENGLISH SCHOOL DISCIPLINE.
School Board prosecutions are conducted in England with more energy than discretion.\ At the Kugby Petty sessions, late in October, a man whose daughter has been allowed to go to school twentythree instead of seventy times in a certain period} explained that she had been detained at home owing to fever and sore heads in the family: The Clerk remarked that "bad heads" was a " general excuse" and that the girl was kept at home to mind the baby. He then fined the delinquent five shillings. In another instance the mother of a bad boy protested that she had beaten him repeatedly but could not make him goto school, and finally bad induced a policeman to frighten him into obedience. The Bench wisely concluded that there was nothing to be gained by prosecuting the mother of so bad a boy.— New York Tribune.
