I attended a boys grammar school in the early 60s and although the cane was used by far the most common punishment was the slipper.By the slipper I mean a size 11 gym shoe with a rubber sole which was invariably given across thin PE shorts by a young fit PE master The slipper hurt more than the cane and even a couple of whacks would leave your bottom dark red and would leave a bruise which would take up to 10 days to disappear.
I have seen boys cry as they changed into their shorts for the sole purpose of having their backsides slippered but no humanity was ever shown and once the sentence had been passed then there was no reprieve.
It hurt at the time but was stll preferable to spending unending hours in detention or writing lines or essays.
