Itoiut C'oiui' to the llefeiiNC of Mm, I.iirriiliue, u 'lYiii'hi'r III Ccntrnl .School. OMAHA, April 13. To the Editor of Tho Bee: Tho first artlclo on tho first pago of Tho Evening Beo of April 13 may do great Injury to our Omaha school teachers, and ono In particular, If tho reports of lll-trcat-incnt of pupils nro to bo taken seriously. As tho father ot ono of tho boys mentioned In tho artlclo I strongly object, ns ho also does, to having his namo coupled with thow of children reported ns having "been forcibly punished ,by Mrs. Larrabeo." This teacher hns never In any wny punished Ralph Doud, and ho has no grlovanco ngalnst her, but only against Tho Beo, which bo strangely, though porhnps unwittingly, exaggerates Mrs. Lnr raboo's courtv In dealing with other offend ers. I have never met this teacher and enn only estimate her efficiency by tho excellent prog ress my boy has made In her room. I have observed that ho has received whlto cards every month sluce entering her room nnd seems to enjoy his school work remarkably. If you will pardon n word of friendly criti cism from ono who for yeara roDorted for a city dally In Pennsylvania, I would like to challenge tho propriety ot Interviewing on tho street children under 12 years us to how their teachers behavo themselves. Really, now, knowlnt: children as you do, would it not bo wiser to Interview tho parents when reports reach you of tho maltreatment of their children by teachers? I have watched with Interest the dally llfo of mnny boys attending our ochools. I don't want to forget that I was a boy onco and enjoyed my pranks, hut I would not blamo n teacher for meting out such punlsh mont ns she and her principal ngrced was necessary. Thero Is certainly far less cor poral punishment than formerly, and I suspect Homctlmes that the results nro not altogether us satisfactory. As a general proposition, howovcr, tho homo Is tho placo for severe measures, and you will, I think, ngrco that those who chafe most under school discipline) como from homes whero wholesome dlsclpllno is qulto unknown I'erhaps our fathers wero too strict, but mo PfrcntS In theso days go to the other extreme. Otherwlso wo would not en counter so mnny Inds on our streets till 10 o'clock nt night, smoking cigarettes and using foul language. If parents exercise so lax an authority In thn moral trnlnlnir of their rhlldrpn. lrav- )ng everything for tho public school, it Is hardly to bo wondered that a teacher may now nmi then have, occasion to lny n boy out on tho floor. It Is enough to try any one's patlenco to deal Justly and firmly with a big roomfull ot children, no two of whom aro Just alike mentally nnd morally. H. A. DOUD. OMAHA, April II. To tho Editor ot Tho Bee: Seeing your article In Friday even ing's paner In regard to our schools I would m0 to say a fow words on tho subject. To ono who will give tho matter any at- I tcnllou It nt onco becomes evident that many forms of government arc moro llko thoso used In tho sixteenth century than .what would bo expected In this enlightened age. Think of tying towels und pasting paper over tho mouths of thrsc llttlo folks. Mnny children do not breatho well through their nose and If the mouth Is covered Lut little nlr can reach the lungs and serious dnmage may result. Should a child nf mine bo treated In this manner 1 should Bltrely havo tho teacher arretted for Inhuman and cruel treatment of children Ono teacher In the Central school to my kuowlediro trealx her nnnlls morn 111;, i wonder If It over occurred to this teacher I . , , " ' " ' , Bucli treatment ard that tbey will remember 8Uch cruci assertion with feelings nf nnin and sorrow as long ns thoy live' I know tho teacher has u hnrd life from personal exporieueo and It is far from my Intention to find fault, but thero are somo things bo grievous that It Is hnrd to ro-n-nln quiet. K correctly reported Superintend nt Pc.-who In a recent address to tho teachers to'd them that If they could not get tho confidence of their pupils nnd lovo their work, forget ting self nnd all else save the wclfnro und good of tlicmo whom thoy sought to Instruct, they had mimed tholr calling nnd should seek other vocations. Judged by this stand nrd fiomo of our teachers are certainly not In the places Intended for thom by nature. Respectfully, it. n. M.
