That other teachers used the cane there is no doubt about that, or censure, except for the schools over reliance on the use of corporal punishment. Caning by the headmaster was, by and large in any school, was regarded as punishment for more serious offenses. That girls were caned on the bottom by a man was not unheard of at the time. The girls at Bacons had rather thick pleated skirts that would render a caning less effective, and be difficult exactly to define a girls bottom so the cane could be landed in the correct area, so the lifting of skirts was not an unheard of thing.
