Sir -- I am very glad your newspaper has brought into the realm of discussion the above subject. I am headmistress of a school, in which there are 175 girls from 8 to 19 years, and I find it necessary to spank on the bare seat for disobedience. Last term I caned a girl of 19 years for giving trouble, and I must say it did her good. How is it brutal to punish in that way? If I hit the girls on the head, or continually nagged at them, I should be the victim of criticism. Your correspondent, "Parent," is very reasonable in her remarks. No amount of criticism will restrain me from inflicting capital [sic] punishment in the way I have done. I detest using the lash, but I have no other alternative. I always enjoyed the walk through the village, and one of the big decisions to be made each Sunday was with whom you were going to walk and of course sit next to in church. I usually walked with Marjory, a girl from Newport, who suffered from dreadful bouts of asthma. I lost count of the times she had been rushed to the hospital by ambulance, fighting for every breath. We were often awakened at night by the sound of her gasping and wheezing, followed by hurried footsteps as she was carried out of the dorm. She was usually gone for about four days, and then of course had more frightening stories to tell us when she returned. My father, you know, was the Honourable Mr. Warton, and my mother died in giving birth to myself, so that I was brought up under a nurse, and afterwards, when about seven years old, a young lady was engaged as governess to instil my juvenile mind with the rudiments of learning, preparatory to being sent to a finishing school.

Get It out of the Way: The headmistress encourages Morgan, who is new to St. Eunice's, to volunteer for a practice caning so she'll know what it's like before getting the real thing. After a few more words about discipline and conduct, I let her go. Taking her card, she gingerly walked out of my office.At least, there were only four in the line today. But then, one of them was Woods from 10b, and dealing with her again would be very unpleasant. And I’d make her feel that.

Consequently we have given her permission to administer a punishment like the ones at her school, and she has agreed to do this as a favour to us. Not only will you go and apologise, but you will talk to her, listen to her, answer her questions, and accept any punishment she decides you need.’

I… I am sorry, Miss.” She had stammered that words before, when she was still over my knees. I could see she really was sorry now. Nanopants: Jessica is to be made an example of. She is to be given six of the best with the cane, and her ordeal involves the wearing of special high-tech punishment pants, ultra-thin and transparent and even clingier than latex. They are so tight they are mighty uncomfortable when Jessica bends to touch her toes for the cane, and the fabric does nothing to dilute or protect the wearer from the intense sting of the rattan. As they complied, I could easily see that Caroline Fletchers Skirt was non-regulation. Colour and general style matched, but it ended a few centimetres above the floor. Jenny Woods skirt touched the ground as it should be.
