To Schools in Liberia
Corporal Punishment Coming Back
By ROBERT N. LINDSAY
Ol Ine AmocUUo Preii
MONROVIA, Liberia Cor
poral punishment Is being rein
troduced In Liberian schools.
The return to authorized whip
ping is being made on the ad
vice of veteran President Wil
liam Tubman. He noted the say
ings, "Spare the rod and spoil
the child" and "The rod is made
for the back of the fool." lie also
quoted: "Chasten thy son while
there is hope and let not thy
soul spare him for his crying."
President Tubman said these
admonitions were practiced in
Liberia from 1817 until recent
years 'when, having an appar
ent desire to emulate modern
educational practices of other
countries, we abandoned this
tried educational system, with
the result we are beginning to
have on our hands unruly, crim-Jnally-mlnded
and delinquent
young people."
He appealed to the Negro na
tion's parents and clergymen to
support teachers who administer
punishment when necessary.
Tubman said:
"It is a sad commentary on
this ago that today teen-agers
are permitted to wander about
at night, attend parties, bars
and cafes and remain out of the
home until 1 and 2 o'clock in the
morning without any restraint,
restriction or s c o 1 d 1 n g s. It
seems that we are afraid of our
own children."
Rules as approved by the
teachers limit corporal punish
ment to junior high schools and
elementary schools. Whipping
must be done by principals or
someone authorized by them.
Corporal punishment will be
Inflicted for the following of
fenses: Deliberate disrespect to school
authorities and wilful violation
of school rules and regulations;
consistent vulgarism and re
peated profanity; truancy and
running away from school prem
ises or leaving school grounds
before the end of the day with
out permission; obstinacy cr
gross disobedience and influ
encing others to disobey; per
sistent fighting, cheating, steal
ing or "similar acts that would
crea'e unpleasant atmosphere In
the school;" wilful or deliberate
destruction of school property;
"demoralizing and malicious
deeds that may degrade the
morale of the school such as
using dangerous weapons,
knives, razor blades, guns in
school"; drinking; smoking.
The rules say corporal punish
ment must never be used for
nstructional purposes or be
cause of a student's Inability to
master his lesson.
The teacher concluded: "Psy
chologically, the promiscuous
use of the whip greatly affects
the learner's total behavior.
Consequently the sight of
switches in a class room Im
mediately constitutes a threat
to his behavior. Hence at no
time should a bunch of whips
be conspicuously placed in any
class room. The rod should only
appear when and where it is
absolutely necessary."
Not Living Up to Appeals for Unity
Verwoerd Attacked by Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Af
rica (AP) Leading English
language newspapers here have
charged that Prime Minister
Dendrite Verwoerd and his Af
rikaner followers are not living
up to his frequent public appeals
for unity between this country's
English-speaking and Afrlkam
speaking whites.
One says the Afrikaners are
building a "personality cull"
around Verwoerd that damaucs
this country internally and also
hurls South Africa abroad be
cause It creates an Impression i
of granite-like obstinacy against
foreign criticism.
The latest and probably sharp
est spate of criticism In this
vein occurred after the celcbra
tlon of Verwoerd's 61st birthday,
arranged and participated in
almost entirely by Afrikaners.
English-language newspapers
complained that their reporters
and photographers were refused
admittance while Afrikaner
newsmen were admitted to a
reception and entertainment for
1,100 guests.
Some English editors also
criticized the extremely lauda
tory tributes paid Verwoerd by
his admirers. The Johnannes
burg Transvaler, whose board
chairman is Verwoerd, had said
editorially that history will note
that he was trying to save the
W:estern world from the "lollies
of the Kennedys and Macmli-
lans" in a critical era. Another
editorial likened Verwoerd to
the wartime Winston Churchill,
India Court
Rules School
Order Illegal
NEW DELHI Ifl 'The Su
preme Court of India hat up
held the right of a religious
minority such as the Presby
terian Church to run its schools
without government infer
ence.
The court ruled that the Mary
Brown Memorial Training Col
lege does not have to take a
certain percentage of government-picked
candidates in its
freshman class, even though it
receives government aid.
The Bombay government had
threatened to withdraw both
aid and recognition from the
teachers' training institution if
the order were not obeyed.
The court said the Indian
constitution guarantees minor
ities the right to establish and
administer educational institu
tions of their choice. The right
could not be whittled down by
government restrictions which
worked against the interest of
the minority institution, even
though the restrictions might
be in the interest of the pub
lic or the nation as a whole.
School trustees had told the
court that the college was for
the benefit of the Christian
community, though others were
not denied admission.

test and chartered an S-58 'copt
er with a 4,000- to 5,000-pound
lifting capacity.
Sikorsky is providing a 'copt
er with twice the lifting capa
city of the others.
Films are being made of the
operation of both craft and an
analysis is to be made later.
Yarding of logs with helicopt
ers is a new concept; serious
consideration came only recent
ly because the high hazard and
high cost were formerly thought
to be discouraging.
Part of the test involves the
craft "dragging" the logs to a
landing, rather than lifting
them into the air. -
A new automatic release, da
vice was also to be tested.
