The principal objection to the Warren | geography is that (the author having dicd over | ten years Sy the publishers still continue to use ‘the old stereotyped plates from which the text, ps and questions printed, and thus their beok has fallen ‘behind the tmes.” This, of. course, is a ‘Very profitable business for book publishers; for, although they nge the litle page to conform ‘to the current 7 make the corrections in the y changes in political organiza- ries of countries, axd_on account of recent discoveries. This style of imposition upon the publie is encouraged by the existence in most boards of edacation, as in onrs, of what is termed the two-third rule, which requires the vote of two-thirdset the trustees to favor the change of a book before it can be made. A publisher, once ge*ting in his book, lies quietly down ant waits for the annual flow of dollars into his pocket, hy simply iesuing new impres- sions from his old plates. Another matter that helps this imposition is, that there is a very natural objection on the part of teachers, trus- tees and parents to any change of books.’ Most parents think that one book is just as good as another. this ik a8 great a mistake as to suppose that one mode of instruction is just as good as another. | teachers Prowrr Extiy morning, ab H.

CORPORAL VUNISHMENT IN ‘TRATED—PRLEBOTOMY WITH A COWHL Yesterday afternoon Joseph B. Thom; Principal of the public schools of White P: was arraigned, aceused of ernelly whipping: Moran, a lad of 15. The court room was frowded. Little Johnny Moran, who is a bright Roy, said that his spelling ciass was called up at @ quarter to 10 o’clock on Monday last. Arrived on the tioor, he spoke in a whisper to Johnny Dowd, saying, “Am Lahead of you?” fore Dowd had time to auswer, Thompson struck him (Moran) a violent blow on his lett shoulder with the butt end of a cowhide. As the second blow was descending, Johnny threw up bis arm ard the whole back of his right hand was laid open to the bone where the cowhide came down on it. He ran down the aisle, followed by Thompson, the blcod streaming of the tloor. ‘Thompson jaid the cowhide over his head and aboulders. After being struck six or sevep times he mani gad to scramble over two seats, seized a late, and informed Mr. Thompsen that he had better not strike him agaiu. Thompson took Moran's advice. The boy then left school, and Thompson was arrested. I witnesses were examined, all sustaining Moran's statement. Mr. Pawiding stated that he was prepared to prove that Thompson had threatened to dismiss all scholars who testified in favor of Moran. Henry McCullom was called and testified that yesterday morning Thompson asked him whether he was going to certify to his whipping Moran. He said he was, and told Thompson the same story that Moran told in court. T! pson asked him it he was going to testify to that, and he said ie was. “ Then put on your hat and go home,” said Thompson, “there is no use im your lying.” McOullom left. Mr. Lelie then said he was pre d to prove that children had frequently been forced to rc main away {rom school for days on account of the terri whipping they received at the hands of this christian gent % prepared to prove that the gentieman had fre- quent! 6 by the heclg aud soused their heads ina pailofwater.
