PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOLS.
The march of intellect is giving rise to the invention of ingenious punishments in elementary schools. Wc have heard, so far, of but one case of tying a boy’s tongue to a chair, but at least an equally remarkable method of maintaining discipline is alleged to be practised habitually in a certain Scotch school, of which the proprietor’s name is not Squeers. The punishment consists in the administration of castor oil, without the formality of a spoon, without much regard to the quantity imbibed, and with no regard at all to the existence or non-existence of any reason but a moral one for its use.— Home paper.
