RESEARCH WORK.
Our High School is rapidly becom-
ing a modern institution. No High
School can lay claim to being modern
that does not offer some advantages
at least iu training its pupils iu meth-
ods and in habit of personal research,
lit is the duty of the teacher in Hia-
Story, Literature and all research ba1 not been a 8in*le Ca8e of corPoral
studies to train his pupils to inveati- ! «««« ^ January. Thia

The laboratory method of teaohlng
the above named subjects is the only
method sanctioned and approved by
beat educators. This method pre-
auppoaea a well selected library bear-
ing on the subjects taught, i It there
fore becomes the duty of the Societies
to bend every energy toward building
a library commensurate with our
heeds and we plead a liberal aid and
a happy response from the public
However ambitious the pupiJa and
akillful the teachers, yet we can't
claim the distinction of being a first
olaes High School until we have cre-
ated the necessary facilities for per-
sonal inveatigasion of any subject
assigned. Nothing developes a pupi
so thoroughly as library and labora-
tory habit of study. The Bowie High
School has ever been weak iu this
respect. That method ofTstudy that
approach** most nearly to personal In-
vest lgatiou aud rose arch is incom-
parably the b^st since it constantly
trains the judgment, arouses the
deepest interest on the part of the
better oontroled.
The superintendent has been report-
ed as being opposed to corporal pun-
ishment. This is an injustice. He
believes in less corporal punishment
in the schools and more of it in the
homes. He believes that if it Is cor-
rectly administered in the homes it
will never be necessary ia.the schools.
He farther believes that in all cases
wherein a teacher would be justfiable
in administering corporal punishment
that he should first refer the matter
to ; the parent. If the parent
inflicts the punishment, all
all good and well On the other hand,
if the parent falls to make the proper
correction or shows an indifference to
co-pperate with the teacher in the gov-
ernment of his child then tha teacher
shonld assume complete oontrolof the
child at school and should use the rod
or any humane method of bringing
the child under complete subordina-
tion. He believes that when an of-
fense is so grave as to merit corporal
punishment the parent should always
be brought into counsel, and the
wholesome effect always attained is
