CORPORAL PUNISHMENT OF GIRLS.
A deputation of Representatives from the Teachers' Institute waited pn the Wellington Education Board yesterday merning.with regard to the corporal punishment of girls. Mi' Grundy said the teachers generally seriously thought the dis-. ciplino of- tho' soli&als would bo affected much if the regulation prohibiting corporal punishment of girls lvere insisted upon, because it •was ■well within the knowledge of every practical teacher that there were girls in all schools who were very difficult to manage. If they wore not allowed to resort to corporal punishment . they wquW have to resort to expulsion, which would be far pious. The publication pf's9 regulation had already had a bad effect on some girls in his sohool, who had taken advantage o£ tho new state of affairs by ill-beWoiu'. They asked the Board
'at any rate to allow them in the last ! resource to inflict corporal punish. Iment on girls, and they believed, it [was really in the best interest of the ! children and the schools. ' Miss Helyer also spoke of the necessity for being allowed to punish girls, occasionally, ' Mr Mux, of Greytown, informed the Board that all the Wairarapa schools were against the new regulation, , ■ Tlio Board decided that tho matter should be brought up at its next meeting when the regulation will be recommitted,—N.Z. Times.
