School indiscipline
Sir: What a lot of fuss is being made about school indiscipline!
If a boy kicks his teacher on the shin, a little arnica would soon put it right. Meanwhile the boy, who did not mean any harm, will have sublimated his ego, and feel all the better for it.
The tough fifteen year old conscripts will be too busy twisting the arms of little boys and girls to bother about the teacher.
Of course, if the teacher is one of those interfering busybodies, and intervenes, he or she must not be surprised if the boy produces a knife. Even so, hospital , treatment is free and the teacher should soon be back at his well-paid job — and what fun to teach forty children of Widely different abilities, but united in the time-hon oured practice of . teacher ragging, which he should enjoy as much as the children, if he takes it in the right spirit. F. E. Chappell Moor Cottage, Brockenhurst, Hants.
