Show Like Laughs in Schools. One liberty tlie severest critic of our public schools will recognize as growing is in the field we used to know-as know-as discipline. In 1902 in a girls' high school. in New York 20 per cent of the many hundred of "offense" tickets read "Reported to the principal for laughing." Last week, says a writer in World's Work, I saw a teacher dis- play a check slip marked full of "L's." "What's this?" "That's the number of laughs I was abie to induce in my English class this month." |
