1924: School Discipline, 1924

The hose "stings, but doesn't make a mark." Can you imagine 21st century school teachers taking a rubber hose to one or two the the "n'er do wells" in our modern system? My mom would give unconditional authority to use that hose anytime I stepped out of line, and I dare say most of my contemporaries would agree. I recall that now archaic saying...."spare the rod, spoil the child."
