A Speculation
Our readers will readily recall the hurricane of hot feeling that blew through New Zealand over the alleged ill-treatment of boys in the Stoko Industrial School conducted at the time by the Marist Brothers Fierce stress was laid upon the statement that some of the boys had been flogged-a form of punishment that had been aoandoned several years before in the institute At the Burnham State Industrial School, Christchurch James Denny, a lad of weak body and intellect, committed suicide a few days ago. At the inquest on Tuesday last, the punishment book of the school was produced. It showed that the boy had been flogged no fewer than four times since January, 1902 We are just no'v busy speculating as to what particular variety of h> stories some of our so-called 'liberal' legislators would fall into if James Denny had been an inmate of a Catholic Industrial School.
