No Use for the Cane – Master
The headmaster of an ‘approved’
school for young offenders told why he didn’t believe the cane was much use. It
was better to be tolerant of the boys, he said in 1950.

Amazing for the headmaster of one approved school to be publishing this anti-caning viewpoint in 1950, only for another approved school seventeen years later (Court Lees) to become the focus of a national scandal over frequent canings severe enough to cause "screaming" and green and black bruises that lasted for a month. It's an amazing level of difference between two institutions in the exact same system.
