Were 500 pupils caned ….?

 

Local newspapers in England can be a treasure trove for finding memories of schooldays long past. I’m no historian but I wonder how reliable some of the accounts are.

Were 500 pupils really caned by the headmaster? Even in 1918.



As published in the Ormskirk Advertiser (Lancashire, England), 22 March 1984
