The book “Corporal Punishment of Schoolgirls” is not a definative survey. It is more a collection of snippets of information. What may have been the practice in one county could have been completely different elsewhere. In West Yorkshire only canings were recorded in punishment books therefore slipperings disappear entirely from the offical record. There really is a need for serious historical research into C.P. In many cases only the punisher and the punished know what actually happened in a given instance so that most evidence is anecdotal
