The headmaster explained to her that the rules of the school required that any boy committing certain grave offences must be caned. To this she replied that she did not think any of her boys was likely to be guilty of any such offence, but if they did she would have to withdraw them. After the youngest boy, who was specially represented as delicate, had been at the school for five years, he was detected by an assistant master in an offence which in the judgment of the master involved the penalty of corporal punishment.
