1926:" SPARE THE ROD AND SPOIL THE CHILD"

This very interesting article has been languishing in my "SCHOOLS-MISCELLANEOUS" folder for many years. As I go through some of these little known articles, I realize how much our society has changed over the years. I wonder if those who approved of the "capital punishment" via a rubber hose found a change in behavior of the student who was disciplined with that hose.

HI TOM...ON BEHALF OF THE STUDENT S WHO WERE WACKED BY OUR GYM TEACHERS WHEN YOU GOT OUT OF LINE, I AGREE. WHEN THE TEACHERS SAY "NOW YOU MUST NOT DO THAT" DON'T WORK, THEY RESORT TO THE WACKING. I BELIEVE THE PARENTS AT HOME FOLLOW THE SAME PROCEDURE. BEST REGARDS
