From now on corporal punishmentl will be administered to pupils in Barrie schools by the principals, not by the teachers, according` to a motion passed at the meeting of thel Board of Education Monday night. The motion wa.s introduced by Major Knowles, who stated that his` reason for bringing in such a motion \\'::.-' base-d on several cases of strap- ping done by teachers that had come; under his observation. In two of these cases the strapping had been, overdone because the teacher was` angry. If it is put up to the prin ' cipie to puni.<'1 in this manner it will not be done in anger, contend- ed Major Knowles. A note from tlie.teacher explaining the conduct ` of the pupil when he or she is sent. to the principal will enable him to` consider the seriousness of the of- fence from an unbiased staiidpoim, and whatever punishment is given is not likely to be overdone. Major linowles felt that corporal punish- ment zulministered in anger was liable to do bodily injury and that 41;: niotion would mean just treat- ment for the pupil, and safeguard the teacher. ;\.-..-_\. -I` .. .lf\....__,.E,._ ,r- :1 53.0.1.
