,/ < WANTS LASH FOR WIFE-BEATERS _ Magistrate Crane Heartily In-| dorses the Views Expressed: Before the Medico-Legal So- ‘ciety by President Clark Bell. #S SURE WHIPPING-POST WOULD ABATE THE EVIL. Would Lend His Influence to “Obtain the Passage of a Measure Establishing Such a Mode of Punishment. Wife-beating as 9 fing art has ceased to be catalogued among the popular accomplishments of New Yorkers. Ar- tists in this line haye been put under the ban, and the possibility of a whip- Ping-post is hanging over them. If all Magistrates in New York were gt the opinion of Judge Leroy B. Crane, and if their belief in the treat- ment of wife-beaters could influence the Legislature, there might be an en- tertaining diversion inaugurated on Blackwell's Island or some conventent Public sput, where the benters of wom- en would be given a dose of thelr own | medicine. “I believe in the whipping post for t wife-beaters,”” 1 Magistrate Crane @t the Essex Market Court to an Even- ing World reporter to-day, “and heartily agree with the statements of yClark Bell, p esident of the Medico- take advantage of thelr wives s! punished fmore stringent manner than ts possible finder the present law. * "Do I think the whipping-post savors ef barbarism? Indecd I think wite- j beating savors of savagery of the worst { kind, and a wiipping-post would be mild relle of barbarism $the brutality of wife-beating. Would Lend Hix Influence. “A man who Is deg ted enough and ‘brutal enough to attack his wife should ibe dealt with without gloves. [ would She glad to see mimittee, as suggest- fed at the Medico. gal meeting, pre- \pare a bill for the Legislature to puns \ish wife-béaters at the whipping-post, and I would iend my influence to pass ‘euch a bill. “It is a doubtful proposition just how ; the egisiature would look upon such ‘@ matter, but I for one wish it would enact it into a law. “With: a whipping-post these brutes ‘eould be made to suffer physically, which is the only way some of them an be reached at all. We have cases Untold where the man appears in court charged with this brutal offense, which the prisoner 4s sent to the Island for, ; aay: @ year. The next day the Magis- [trate ts visited by a Weeping woman ‘and a brood of small children. She telis jobbingly how the offender is her sole means of support and says the children are starving. The result is the wife- beater ts brought back from the Island and in a short time the poor woman Is jbearing bruises and black eyes from ‘mnother attack. ‘ “If the whipping-post were estab- shed ‘wife-heaters would be sure to ecelye their just punishment. As it it is up to the Magistrate to decide what the culprit shall get. He is glven @ $5 fine, a ten-day sentence, or a year's '4mprisonment, according to the Judge's opinion. “The effective mahner in which Al- @ermun Donohue, of Wikesba’ [goes after wife-t the point and pr. pire that I can’? ‘say, {would “care to settle Kettlng off {turashing to them, but I certainly would be glad Yo see some one else do it. me steps should be taker Leect the erent army of un men who are ictlms « j bands. Wife-beating is too common a ferime and is a great biot on our civill- zation, I know there are many who cry Out against the whipping-post and who call ita means of ans nment not keepin; , but I be- Heve vitesbeaters In, the | most effective way. If the lash and the whipping-post can save the unfortunate bund of suffering women, and L belleve it can, I hope the ture will take the same view of the subject as th Medico-Legal Society,” 0 ee FRANCIS FORBES DEAD, Koted Lawyer Expires Suddenly at His City Home.

Comptroller Grout has been making an stigation into studies {mposed upon children in public schools, and his investigation has brough him bang up against « proposition of bugs. He ts opposed to bugs in every form, and in- dicates clearly in his report that he doesn't like them as introduced as a course of study to the children of the public schools, He finds that too much time ts de- voted by teachers to the task of ex- ploiting among the children not only the various kinds of bugs and their char- acteristics, but that spiders, snails or slugs, earthworms, animals useful to man and animals harmful to man form a diversion of study to which a large part of the time of the scholars Is use- leasly devoted. For instance, the teachers tell the scholars, under the present system, that these animals are useful to man Birds, bats, toads, frogs, tish, Indybugs, beetles, dragon-flies, bees, cochineal bugs, sheep, cow, goat, hen, goose, duck, ox, horse, donkey, mule, camel, - “Animals” Harmful to Man. are taught) that these “ant- including bugs, are harmful to troller, mals, mar Cut-worm, potato beetle, cabbage | worm, leaf rollers, leat miners, plant lice, army worms, gypsy moth, coddling moth, beetles, tent caterpillars, canker ‘ms, clotues moths, cockroaches, ‘Mes, bedbugs, ants, mosquitoes, snails, slugs, mice rats Under this syllabus also comes chap- tera devoted to these Interesting atud- prey; enemies; means of defen: ca hatching of eggs; comparison with Insects. “SNAILS OR SLUGS: Habitat; food; | manner of feeding; characteristic parts; | locomotion; trail; enemies; means of JYSTER, CLAM: Habitat; food; ner of feeding; characteristic parts; parison of snails or slugs” with SARTHWORMS: Habitat; color food; segments; use: enemies, ison’ with caterpillar.” he Comptroller also finds that it Js provided that earthworms may be kept in pots of carth in classrooms and ob- servations made of their “locomotion, castings and feeding habits,” Demands Dexterity and Accuracy, There also appears this in the report: aim should be ‘to secure dexterity in handling and accuracy in measure- ments and to develop appreciation of beauty in form and line, as embodied in units designed for the decoration of constructed forms. In measurements minute fractions of inches should be avolded as far as practicable. Il forms shoud je analyzed pre- vious to their construction, in drder that the necessary plans may be devel- oped. Pupils should be encouraged to make at home original models. showing modifications of the forms made In the classroom.” Whether or not this appiien to. the Innocent earthworm or the ubiquitous tug wa not explained. ‘The Com! ler finds that in thelr readings to the pupils the teachers are required to observe the following suggestion of the Board of Education: “Phe selections may Include ‘Hin tha and Mudjekeew ‘Hiawatha’ Fasting’ and “Hiawatha, and the Pearl Feather: Browning's ‘Pied Piper of Hamelin;’ myths In good literary form, 8 ‘Stories of Long Ago,!
