IsSTESiISIXJaO 1881. ATTICA RECORD. T. TRICKETT, Editor and. Proprietor.

THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1886. A dozen boxes of strawberries at $4 a box were served at President's last dinner to the senators. Jeff-ersonian simplicity comes high, but a Democratic Administration must have it. AND DEALERS IN KM afcfsJiijWsfl Paper, Mr. Director; I am not able to.

In fact, the teacher is largely in your power. A director once said to" a teacher just before the contract was signed: "We expect you to govern your school. The school is not a luxury, but an expensive necessity. Obedience is absolutely necessary to its success. Be firm, reasonable and judicious, and you can depend upon our hearty support; but when you find you cannot govern the school we hope you will resign.

This community cannot afford the example of disobedience and disorder in the school." There were no cases of whipping in that school, no disturbance, and the teacher, feeling that she had the support of those who employed her, exacted prompt obedience. But the directors felt that they had the influence of the whole community to sustain them; that the whipping of an idle, disobedient boy would not occasion a law suit, and that it would not be necessary for them to meet in solum conclave and reprimand a teacher because she laid hands suddenly upon the lawless lad. m20 Wi School Report.

SPAKE NOT THE ROD AND bPOIL. THE CHIUD. We notice that difficulties, and in some instances expensive law suits, have resulted in many parts of the state between parents and teacher because the latter felt it necessary to inflict corperal punishment. While flogging is wholly uncalled for, all who have dealt with children know that there are times when the best thing possiable for an unruly Young America is a sound whipping.
