Paddle replaces hickory stick as school punishment
Schoolchildren would be taught their “reading
and writing and ’rithmetic” to the tune of a broad paddle instead of the
traditional hickory stick after new rules on corporal punishment were unveiled
in a small United States town in 1950.
As published in the Bristol
Virginia-Tennessean (United States), 2 May 1950.
