Prof. J. A. Ackerman, Superin
tendent of public inatrudion, in
answering questions, stated that it
was his opinion, that unlees a
teacher had a written contract with
the board of directors, be or she, as
the caie might be, had no more
right to chastise a pupil in the
school than to whip any child on
the street, and that if they should
whip under such ciicumstances
they could be prosecuted. As sev
eral districts bsveonly verbtl con
tracts with teachers this opinion is
of some interest.
