Editoh Caiiio Bi-'li.ktin: A recent number of your paper contains an article on "I'lio Whipping Post in Schools," in which 1 1 1 j 1 1 -1 1 co is done Mr, Parsons, formerly of your city, now n teacher nnd superintendent ot public chooh of Evaiiiville. The urilcle says ".Mr. Par sons llogged one ot his puplM so severely that paralysis ensued, and It .is doubt ful If the boy ever regained the tio of hlsllmbi." 'J'hc truth of the mater Ktho boy wa crippled before tho whipping, which ban uolhlii to do with hU parulysl. The only marks visible were on his ear, which was somewhat swollen and black and blue, nnd a scratch on the crippled hand, neither ot which seemed to bs very se vere. While them are some who blame Mr. Par-oii- for his severity, the majority ol our people fully Ju-tlfy him In all he did. 'llie.-chool board examined the whole matter carefully and iin inlmou-ly sus tained him in tbeexercNe of uei-di'd m.d wholesome discipline. The jury before whom the matter was tried lor two days', acquitted him. to the 'atl-factlou of every one who took tho trouble to become ac quainted with the facts. This explanation I due to Mr. Par- on. as welt as to the the excellent school board of this city. Yours truly, C. II. Footu. F.vanivllle, .lanuary 20. 18r.
