‘Caning’ for headmaster who beat exam slackers

 

A national newspaper writer berates a headmaster who said he had no regrets in caning exam slackers (see that story here). ‘On a cold day in January in the headmaster’s study in Wiltshire I was given six, hard well-spaced and extremely painful strokes of the cane,’ Denis Pitts recalls in 1959.

As published in the Daily Herald, 20 February 1959.
