Professionals and lay people interested in British Columbia’s educational system have followed with interest a recent court case in’ Castlegar. There a school principal was charged with assault for strapping a boy on his par- tially bared buttocks. The magistrate, ac- quitting the accused, found ‘no evidence ... to show that defendant Brown (school principal William Roy Brown) acted other- wise than as a kind, — and judicious The ruling is’ important because it _ gives force and interpretation to that sec- tion of the school act governing corporal punishment. hat section says, in effect, that a h all as a “kind, firm and judicious parent in his family,” iding corporal p t except where it is necessary. No teacher worth his salt resorts to the strap as the sole means of handling difficult children. There is, however, a ‘time and a place for it, and the Castlegar magistrate apparently believes that the case brought before him was one in which the time and place were right. The importance of the d rest¢ terior town should serve as reminder to over-solicitous parents that they can be Placed in an embarrassing position if they run to court without adequate provocation. At Castlegar this week the ‘position of the average teacher has been substantially strengthened on matters of discipline. This is no invitation to sadism or brutality. It is merely an assurance from a magistrate’s court that if a teacher applies judicious per- suasion when and where it will presumably do the most good, the court will’not inter- fere. — Vicoria Daily Times Small, Not Lame. So-called small t are pro-| bably the least concerned about Trade Min- ister Churchill’s statement just "before Parl-| iament rose, that the Government had not yet made up its mind about government loans for smali businessmen and was not| going to | do so “until we have the facts be- fore us.” Small businessmen have never shown any enthusiasm at the prospect of being led out as lame ducks seek- ‘on the conviction which has grown up in many parts of the province that a teacher -could not strap a child without running in- to the danger of being brought to court to answer an assault charge. Legal action can be taken by parents who believe their children have been treated with unjustified severity — and that course should remain open. There is always the possibility that an individual teacher, moved by anger or by{spme tess natiral reaction, may inflict serious harm on a child through corporal .punishment administered beyond reason. « But the results of the trial-at the in- ing special benefits at taxpayers’ expense. All small businessmen in' Canada ask is that they be given the opportunity to make their own business enterprises grow and prosper. This can best be accomplished by keeping taxes down and by keeping government spending within bounds so that financing of government deficits: will not cause money to be in short supply. When the government at Ottawa em- . barks -oni.spending programmes. that keep taxes high and demand for money at ex- ceptional levels, business, large and small, suffers both in terms of the tax bite and the high cost of money. — The Letter Review WAR levels. ’ Effect On The Main generation. t River levels can be expected to fl KOOTENAY LAKE AND RIVER LEVELS .
