THE CLU WAY THE BEST. l The veport that about 18,000 floggings were _administ: red to the ' children in the Boston public echools, lagt year, has excited gen- | erzl attention ard much adverse : criticism. The News does not symyathise with that class which would banish the rod ot cor: ection froin the achools of the land, eten though it is led by no less a dis distinguished - tinguished distinguished person than Herbert Spencer. We helieye in the old way, not that we are impervious to good innovutinns' nor do fre ads here to the notion that the old way is the best simply beecause it is ans tique, for we allow that no time or authority can sanetion a wrong, but we advocate the discipline of | former years because it gives the ! best results, I Ever since the days when Dick Dickens - ens Dickens first exposed the abuses ot thei schools of England, public sensi- | tivences to flogging in school has | been growing until it has run to seed in a sickly sentimentality. The truth is, Squeers i 3 a product which these days are incapable of producitg, and the public fear of it had as well be once and torover allayed, Nehoel shildren ot to.dby ean searcely real'ze the change that hus . undergone the methods of pedagogues since their fathers were | brouglit up under the prevailing opinion, **Spare the rod and spoil the chill" The pedagognes ways l of to-day are ways ot pleasantness, | aud all of his paths are paths of | pence, when compared to those of | & geveration back. Coercion used | to e the law ot the school room, | and the most eminent teachers rose to that hizh eminence they occu occupied - pied occupied in the esteem of pareuts, not' by merit alone, but by tl.e force of muscular application. 'l'hei schools were praded in the goud | ol ante-bellum duys with refer= | erence to the strength of arm and | alacrity of its use in teachers. , And those gchools in which the "big boys" were entered, were ad advertised - vertised advertised by the number ot refrac refractory - tory refractory students conquered. < hief among the schools ot this (zhnrac-l ter wad that presided over by Dr, | ~ P.
